Nightmare Maker

The thought of dreaming something and reality oftentimes conflict, more so even when we hear things we dont like in reality and escape in our own dream world.

Please note there is a bit of sex in this manga but I feel its pretty necessary at times.

The story is about a boy named Uchida who miraculously creates a device that can create an ideal dream for you. Sounds good right? Well its pretty awesome isnt it, after his friend is rejected Uchida gives him the comfort of his machine, slowly and slowly more people start using it. Its clear that he has feelings for his childhood friend, and even his childhood friend was shocked to see that in her dream she had sex with Uchida. However things seemed not to go so smoothly later as reality starts to conflict with the dreams, and many are faced to ask themselves, is this reality or a dream?

The characters are all really cool and mysterious, with 11 chapters out so far once this has lots more this will be an amazing series

The art is really good IMO, the male looks pretty lame but his personality is very cool

All in all I loved this sooo much. I reccomend this to anyone who likes deep things with a little bit of romance, its a really cool thriller

A mixed feeling about this manga. This work explores the theme of reality vs expectation/dreams/hopes, but the authors' stance is poorly supported. The author certainly concludes with a statement, but I think that this conclusion wasn't concluded well throughout the work.

Story (POSSIBLE SPOILERS): a simple story of boy wanting girl, but girl doesn't want boy, so boy wants to impress girl. A definitive resolution to this, with clear conflict and resolution.

Characters: back-story and background of the boy (Uchida) is not very well established, and just given by the author as something we're supposed to accept. The girl (Akari) is established much better. The most likely antagonist (Maki; I say "most likely" because there doesn't seem to be a particular antagonist, but Maki says, behaves and does things that would classify her as an antagonist) comes out of nowhere and her development and arc are poorly handled. This is not a deal-breaker, as what's happening during the work is what is interesting and what we're supposed to care about.

Art: clearly 2000s art. I believe that comics, cartoons and manga are fundamentally a visual form of art/communication, therefore art style is critical. All-in-all, I like the art.
