Dorohedoro
(Manga)
add
Dorohedoro is okay but there's a lot it leaves unanswered. It introduces a great amount of very important debatable points such as class-consciousness, ableism, discrimination, systemic oppression, slavery and more but never actually goes around resolving it. It's ultimate answer to a deeply flawed world is that.. nothing changes. And so, in that sense, although that mimics reality, the catastrophe they face and the humanity they introduce even in extremely deplorable characters is ultimately without use. And in that sense, Dorohedoro would've benefited more from being a purely action-comedy that never talked about these issues at all than one that did talk about them and

Setoutsumi
(Manga)
add
Note: I hate quantifying a manga scoring in multiple categories - story/characters/pacing etc - because to me that's just min-max type of scrutiny that dilutes the holism of the entire work. So, I'm going to score the entire manga as a whole and nothing else and tell you why I liked the manga.
I'm so sad I finished Seto Utsumi. The way Seto Utsumi has made me feel during the last few days is the sort of feeling you get knowing this was one of the "peaks" you just so happened to have come across. Seto Utsumi is just incredible. Two boys, one riverside, a few hours ...

This is a short and sweet manga. It's not phenomenal in any regard but one - the walls do feel like they're closing fast. And that feeling makes it a really nice manga. It's sweet, short, and does what it sets out to do best - portray the "mob mentality" of internet in the ...

Ah f*ck, I finished this manga in half a day, basically I binged it. This is the greatest manga I've ever read that's also been able to hurt me the most. I don't know how to properly describe it without spoiling so let me put it this way - You've read NTR manga right? Where the ...

I mean, it's okay - it's just.. mid? I think the reason you hear Liar's Game so much if you try to find a Kaiji-like manga is because there aren't many out there. But that doesn't mean that all that are there are great.
Liar Game is mid but not in a way bad, it's good mid. Akiyama is not a charming character, Nao is not a charming character, Yokoya is not a charming antagonist, the character open their mouth too wide, the "mystery" isn't compelling, the games are too long/uninteresting, the stakes (same old 100 million yen debt) gets boring having been repeated so ...

Running After a Breakup
(Manga)
add
10/10
This is the best manhwa I've ever read. Although, I must mention that that's because it was relatable to me and so it might not be a 10/10 for you. But for those who are interested in running, its a 10/10 no doubt. For the last 2 months or so I have been following the Couch25K running program. I'm on the second last week now. When I started I couldn't do 8 sets of 1min-running+2min-walking. I pushed myself once last year and found myself almost fainting but just yesterday I've finished a 25min run. And that is exactly the protagonist of this manhwa (who's recently had a breakup) ...

Eh, look, I love Higurashi. It's been on my mind for the past 15yrs or so ever since I first came across it, but I never finished it because at the time it wasn't adapted in entirety but it's finished now. The story is done. And i had a lot of fun reading ...

Rena.. It was personal belief that Rena was "Higurashi" (the embodiment of the work, not the cicadas). Every Xbox profile, Every Profile, Every thing I can use Rena's name, I use it. I currently own a scooter. Its a slim and girly looking scooter. Can you guess it's name? It's Rena. And although ...

This is, in my opinion, the arc that satisfies the most - IF you've been following all the build up so far (which I assume you have why would you otherwise be reading Arc 7 of a series directly?). First things first, The arc is LONG (compared to other Higurashi Arcs). It has 6 ...

A light novel about a 30yo NEET that slowly builds his life again by the support of a few NPCs he cannot not care about. I guess ultimately the meaning is that no matter who you are, if you have people who don't judge you - you too can rebuild your life if you just believe in trust.
The manga was great enough for me to pick up the light novel and the light novel didn't disappoint either. The way its written is ingenious, the entire manga is almost repeated scene by scene in the novel, and the scenes that didn't make it to manga have a ... |
