Following Kentaro Miura's announced death I felt the need to just share what his life's dedication has done for me personally.

There are many reviews on Berserk which will be much more analytical and more in-depth about how Berserk deserves the title of the best manga of all time. Rather than that, Berserk and what it means to me is something dear to my heart. There are not many things in the world that can impact me as a person, something like being in a relationship, but for a piece of literature to change and impact me is something only a masterpiece like Berserk could do. ...

Berserk is quite simply a manga about struggling, and why Guts continues to struggle until he eventually reaches some form of happiness. For someone like me who was struggling with my will to live, Berserk hit me hard.

Say what you will about Berserk, whether you only like the first one hundred chapters or so, whether you hate every character but the more dark horse characters etc, the fact that this manga resulted in me standing where I am today, is something I am eternally grateful for.

Berserk is a masterpiece to me, and I hope the author can rest in peace knowing how much people value his work.

RIP Kentaro Miura

Yes, the characters are definitely generic and fall into tropes, but that doesn't ruin the entirety of the series at all.
I personally find the story to be entertaining, even if I know the author is intentionally creating drama through misunderstandings of its characters. I mean, the whole point of the manga is that there's a group of teenagers who live in the dorm, who want to know more about each other while also juggling secrets between them (obviously being that they live stream).


When people come into reading a manga with the mindset of "oh i hate tsundere tropes, they annoy me", then of ... course the one girl who's based of a tsundere will annoy you.

The story is somewhat generic, and yes the characters make bad decisions, but that doesn't mean that the series is bad. It's an okay "love triangle" slice of life romance manga.

Artwork is clean and nice, character designs are nice to look at (mostly their costumes), and the enjoyment of seeing a couple of characters crush on each other is cute too.

this manga was one of the more enjoyable isekai's i've read.
an isekai where the MC is given the "evil" trait, and acts on it, without just blatantly trying to be edgy and ruining a sense of what makes a believable or an enjoyable character.

the story is clear (and obviously ongoing), with some complexity in terms of other nations which will be further explored in the future and a growing nation and ideologies within it.

the characters aren't just tropes and are genuinely enjoyable for what the series offers. it's also enjoyable to see the characters interact with each other. the MC is incredibly unique in ... the fact that he has a form of evil innocence, where he doesn't mind killing humans but still strives for peace, which is both a cool concept and one that isn't used too often (compared to warmongering isekai'd MC's or strictly heroic knight in shining armor MC's)

the enjoyment comes from mainly just seeing this manga as a breath of fresh air, and a good one at that. there are other manga's where a person is reincarnated into a Civ V type world, but personally, this is the best one i've seen so far.

also, a huge selling point is the art and the character designs, i absolutely adore Atou (the FeMC) and her design and particularly how she uses her power.

if you want any isekai about a king growing in power (which there's tons of), and want a breath of fresh air from the protag being a heroic good guy, i would definitely recommend this manga

Another cheat skill ecchi genderbend isekai, another day.

This one is another generic genre, but it's relatively enjoyable.
There is a bit of ecchi, but it's not overloaded (...yet)

The art is clean and easily recognizable as a fantasy manga and the MC is relatively likeable and generic. The character designs aren't anything noteworthy so far.

It's always somewhat enjoyable to see an OP character relaxing in the middle of nowhere not realising their own power, but it's a bit too overdone and now it's not anything special. It helps that this manga doesn't take itself seriously and drops some lighthearted jokes sometimes.

Sweet manga that made me re-evaluate whether I want a human gf or not.

This manga is a sweet, lighthearted, fluffy and quite comedic romance manga which doesn't take long to get into.
The characters aren't anything special, but they are very easy to get into. I found myself not liking some of the character designs at the beginning, but they eventually got used to them.

The art is nice, there wasn't really a time I found a panel ugly or unpleasant to look at.

The enjoyment is definitely the main highlight of reading this manga, seeing a couple's odd relationship continue to grow is all I could ... ask for in a manga like this.

Another day, another Cheat Skill manga with an absurdly long name.

But in all reality, this manga is just another slight cliche manga, with nice art and a bit too generic pool of characters.

Characters feel more like tropes rather than anyone to care about, and the MC is rather forgettable.

The story is pretty generic so far, and I doubt it plans on becoming anything special as it updates.

One good thing this manga offers is a surprising amount of fluff, there are some cute moments in this manga. And the artwork is very clean for such a basic manga. Character designs are pretty generic fantasy but they ... do look nice.

Overall, go ahead and read it if you want, but I wouldn't particularly recommend it or stop you either.

Tomb Raider King has always been enjoyable, from its characters and the comedy to some of the action scenes in this manga. The art is consistently nice to look at as well.

However, while it's enjoyable, it does have it's flaws. Constant complaints about the author abandoning powers after just recently introducing them, repetitive villains that keep coming back and sometimes a lack of drive.

Regardless, it's great to see characters interact with their companions and seeing some parts of history being explained and imagined in the way of the relic.

Overall, the focus was never the story or super in-depth characters, but more of the experience of ... seeing how someone can use mythology to make creative powers and to root for our protagonist to gain more powers.

Enjoyable, but has its boring moments.

Quite possibly what is known as one of the top crime detective manga out there.

Ouroboros is filled with a diverse character list and clashing motives. When people have such huge motives, what will happen when someone goes against them?

The story is a long string of complexities, all of which have their small branching stories and interesting moments. Each character gets time to show what they believe in, and justify their way of living before it is compared to another character's, and the climax is seeing who's justification for being alive was better.

The art is always clean and allows each character to look distinct. Thugs with ... little to no reason for living all are identifiable while characters who have a strong desire to live are imposing. This manga intentionally lets you spot the main characters without strictly making their appearance different.

The characters are very complex and have motivations and reasoning for the things they do. Nobody does anything which isn't explained. Characters bounce off of each other and seeing how they react to each other (which is usually in a hostile manner) is extremely suspenseful and interesting.

This manga is definitely enjoyable as a crime detective manga.
However, I would agree in how people who don't like the genre of crime/detective might not like this manga. This manga stays true to it's genre, and when it tries to branch out to a more romance genre, it's noticeable on how it doesn't compare.
The ending was a little short-lived in peoples minds, but it was still a good conclusion to the series. I wouldn't find myself rereading this manga, however I will say that this is one of the top thriller crime mangas I've read.

Another day, another isekai.
A king reincarnates into a girl's body with all of his holy power intact in a world unknown to him.

This is quite a cliche battle junkie manga, where the MC is searching for stronger opponents to fights and on the journey fixes any problems that arise.

The art is really clean and is consistently nice to look at.

The manga is somewhat enjoyable and has some fluff moments, but not worth rereading or anything.

The characters are somewhat generic but are designed/drawn nicely which helps keep it enjoyable.
...

This manga is still quite early on, but I doubt it will change from a battle junkie isekai manga,
still worth the read.

This is one of those mangas where it's so sweet that you'll probably contract diabetes and throw up rainbows.
But in all seriousness, this manga is just about misunderstandings and how they can cause cute situations. You do not need to care about shogi in the slightest to like this manga.

The art is always professional and clean, making the manga panels always nice to look at.

The characters are done really well, I turned the chapters thinking I'd never like a character, and maybe 10 chapters later I'm already calling them cute and caring about them. Each character follows a certain trope and never betrays it.


This ... manga is really enjoyable, probably one of my favourite fluff romance manga I've read. The manga really delivers on cute moments and will probably leave you smiling/giggling rather than bored.


Don't force yourself to read all of it, but I would definitely recommend to at least start this manga.
