Eyeshield 21 (Manga) add
"It's a sports manga, why would I enjoy it?" This is probably the first question that enters your mind if you know nothing about Eyeshield 21 except that it's based on American football. The fact that it's based on American football may drive you away from the series.
One thing I can tell you is, you are right. But it's more than American football, and I guarantee that you will be sucked into this series just like I was. Not only will you be thoroughly entertained, but you will find yourself picking up on the rules of American football throughout the entire series.

This rather entertaining story ...

Mixed Feelings
Just a couple warnings: First of all, there is yaoi. So if you're not big on intense BL, I suggest you pick up a shounen-ai that's a little light, ahaha. Second of all, this is incest. I repeat: incest.

The story itself doesn't really have much development. Long story short, two brothers have a thing for each other, and there's incest. For two chapters, it's just incest running about the pages, so the story in general is rather dull. However, if you're not really looking for a plot, but meaningless yaoi and whatnot, then you'll enjoy this.

The artwork however, is nice. The details are nicely drawn, ...

Preliminary (17/36 chp)
This is an immediate (and rather obvious) heads up for those who are curious about this series. This is meant for those who are either fans of shoujo or greatly enjoys spin offs of Alice in Wonderland.

The story is what it is: a spin off of Alice in Wonderland. Except for the fact that it's VERY loosely based off the actual novel. However, the plot itself is rather fun with slight twists of violence and romance thrown in. Another thing to bear in mind about the plot is the fact that the story does actually tend to get a little confusing, though slow reading and ...

Preliminary (1/45 chp)
Mod Note: This review was initially posted for the one-shot, Hoshi ni Negai wo, and was subsequently merged into Yuri Hime Selection.

Well, I don't particularly see the "shoujo ai" of this one shot, but I do certainly see a strong friendship.

This one-shot's a short one (around twenty pages I'd say) that focuses on two friends that are trying to help each other get over a death. The story itself is brief, so there's not much you can get, but the simplicity of it is sweet, and perfectly straightforward.

The characters, like the story, have a small development, but not enough to really get a deep sense ...

Well, it's not very surprising to see a one shot that has no review, so why not give a little change to that?

STORY: 8/10
It wasn't that there was some intense plot, but it was just that light plot that gave you that sense that it was heading somewhere, but at the same time, it wasn't anything that really drew you in.
Why I give it an eight is because it's just a heartwarming story. The fact that it's based on a true story gives it an even more realistic sense.
Of course, the story was very short and sweet to the point, with its light plot.

ART: 7/10

Karas (Anime) add
STORY: 7/10
In my opinion, I thought the story plot was the weakest part of Karas. It took me until two episodes or so to understand what even went on, although once you get the hang of the characters and such, the plot does come together. Perhaps one of the reasons why the plot is so difficult to understand is that the series has been condensed to a mere six episodes. If it were spread out like other anime (13 or 26 episodes), if anything, I think the plot would have been amazing. If you really do pull all the story lines that weaved Karas, they're ...
