Buraiden Gai is another fine cynical work by Fukumoto. If you are fan of Fukumoto's works, you are definitely going to enjoy it. The overall plot revolves around a young delinquent, who is falsely charged with a murder and imprisoned in a juvenile correction institute and his struggle in that harsh insensate place called 'Human(inhuman) Institute'.

The art in the manga is very much like Fukumoto's other works. Well he is never famous for his art anyways. But the portrayal of characters in this manga, is as masterful as only Fukumoto can be. Morally corrupt authorities, rich men of the society and the harsh reality of ... a cop; a splendid delineation by the author.

Overall the manga is enjoyable, but compared to Kaiji and the author's other famous works, it falls short, especially the ending. Though the ending of the manga seemed a bit rushed and feeble, but it is a good read.

If you are looking for a story that is going to leave you with a bad taste than Bradherley's Coach is for you. It's one of the most appalling, pathetic stories I have ever read. I feel disgusted, just can't get it off my head.

The story revolves around little girls getting brutally raped and tortured to death in the most goriest fashion imaginable. With each chapter the story moves on to the next girl. Some chapters focus on the background stories of the girls; but there is no real character development.

The only silver lining of this manga is its art. The art style ... is quite realistic even though most girls kind of look the same. The art is comparable with 'Blade of the Immortal'. The colored cover pages of the manga is gorgeous, I must say that is what drew me to this manga in the first place.

This is not what I was expecting from the author of 'Blade of the Immortal', a serous let down. Pathetic is the word perfectly describes this manga. The author proclaimed in the manga that it was his attempt to draw an erotic story, If you find it as such than there is something wrong with you.

Wonderful story; I was not expecting such a good story when I picked up Watashitachi No Shiawase Na Jikan, but pleasantly surprised. It is a must read for anyone looking for a story that deals with the psychological aspects of socially neglected and abused people. Thoroughly enjoyable and fantastic read.

Gintama is one of a kind anime. It doesn't have a continuity in storyline or a plot. It is mostly episodic with some absolutely great arcs in between. It's the absolute randomness that makes it great. It has a samurai in modern Japan setting, though the samurais are completely useless in this series. Throw in useless samurais together with useless aliens with some really innovative quirky slapstick humor; you have your regular Gintama episode. Though the humor in Gintama takes some time to get used to; but once you are in, its one heck of a journey.

The story revolves around completely useless jack of all ... trades Gin and his cohorts. It can range from nerve rattling psychological food fight thriller to bloody yakuza fights. The possibilities are endless in Gintama. If you are looking for parodies, quirky humor and breathtaking fights Gintama is a must for you.
