The touch, the sight and the sensation...

Those are the moments of intimacy this short manga highlights. I wouldn't even call this ecchi or that it's made to show nudity. The art is not seductive or detailed for fanservice that way like the cover portrays. It just shows an unclothed body and the character is a girl who wears glasses. The manga is rather made to share observations between couples that generally get overlooked in romance or erotic genres, and instead leaves you with a "slice of life" kind of feel that works really well.

The first is about temperature and the feeling of touch. One could say that fingers are the gateway to intimacy, both physically ad emotional.

The second is about sight. 6 pages. And well addresses what megane people face. I actually find it really irksome that glasses are made out to be accessories and that someone's beauty is "revealed" when they take it off. Pff. These are mangakas who probably have never worn glasses. It's a prosthetic. It becomes a part of you and your identity, and rather it feels missing without that. And just by surfacing 1 point of observation in these 6 pages, you feel like.. ah, finally, someone noticed.

The third tries to describe an orgasm, and offhandedly counters the usual excessive showcase. Makes you wonder if an artist has actually visualised the imagery of the feeling of an orgasm. This comes quite close.

So in summary, there is a freshness to the stories here simply because it comes from experience. I would have liked a larger collection of these keen observations.

I thought this is going to be another story inspired and copied from fist of the north star, it is. However I was surprised at the end of the manga with changes of the characters and the evolution of the characters through the story.

The art and the fighting scenes were great as usual from this mangaka and it fits the atmosphere of the story.

The manga would be prefect if there was more details about the whole event, zooming in to some characters and the hyper humans.

Overall I enjoyed this manga but I wish it was longer to make the story more interesting and detailed

"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away" - Shing Xiong

What would you do if you only had a year to live? Would you perhaps create a list of hundred things to do before you die? Maybe even just go out and get laid as much as you want, or just live like nothing has happened at all. If you was to ask me what would I do? I would live every minute of my life, the way I would like to do it and to make sure I have no regrets and love every second of it. Oh, and experience love. Never dated, I know I'm a loner.

So... anyways, this is what the female protagonist Toujou, Souko has been left with. A chronical heart disease that will only last her till the age of 17, and seems she is only 16, she only has a year left and that will be the end (apparently). Firstly she is with her boyfriend giving him a bj but nothing more. Her sensei (forgot their names -.-) said this "You should find someone you truly love" (well it was something like that anyways). Continuing on, she was thinking about what her sensei said to her, and thought it was best to break up with her old boyfriend. Now wouldn't it be lovely if the guy was just like "oh ok, no more awesome bj, oh wells off to find someone else" wouldn't it? By how the character looked to me, you know for a fact that something more is going to happen. Guess what it is?... If you said go in for some fun fun, rapey time, then you would be correct (who would have guessed, and if you didn't, then man you need pay attention in things you read). You would probably maybe be thinking this. Well she's a slut right? what's wrong with that, not like she's a virgin or anything. That's where you would be wrong! Actually, she is a virgin and is only willing to give it up to the person she truly loathes for. Moving back on the scenario, we're they succesful? Of course they wasn't! In fact the teacher just comes strolling in, said some cool line, kicked the douche bags ass on the floor, guy got up with a knife, and because he doesn't know how to use a knife and stab someone who is standing still, decided to just rip his shirt, exposing a tattoo. All of a sudden everyone got freaked out and left. Hey wait, Komirai, you must have left something out, right?! Nope that was pretty much it, yeah I know, I was like WTF?! as well. They don't even tell you the significance of the tattoo. All they said he was a teacher and fucked off! Anyways after that, she truly fell for her night a shining armor. Don't they always? So her relationship with her teacher begins.

Story (3/10) - Now, I didn't get to read it all to the very end, mainly due to the fact that on Mangafox, it's only up to Chapter 9 of Volume 3. But I did see someone post what the outcome is, but I have read enough to get the gist of it and do a review. Anyways, the story is meh, ok. I mean the contrast of the story is good, and really had potential in my eyes, but again it leaves no impression on me whatsoever. You might keep turning the page to see the outcome, but even that gets short lived because it's even done and resolved in the same chapter or in the next, there is was no suspense. The story had no deep connection, no deep feeling to any of the characters, there was no real hardship and no real hard to get the teacher part either. The only thing that goes for it is her condition, the story moves at such a compelling rate, that it's hard to keep up and leaves the reader confused at what he/she just saw or read. The teacher didn't even really give up much of a fight, you know add something to the whole drame. But, noooo! He just finds out what her secret is, and now I'm just going to do anything I can for her, sweet isn't he? Or is it just pity?
I mean there was no real challenge in their relationship and even their past was, meh like. No explanation on what was going on, it was jumping like they was time skipping as bad as they did in SAO or something. Jumped like 20 levels or something. Then they decide to pump it up a notch, it really wasn't needed at all! If they did the story correctly in the first place, like make us care for the characters, make us feel connected and make us understand what the characters were going through, ooohh nooo... fact is they decide to bring rape in, to mix it all up and confuse the fuck out of us. The fact that the main female protagonist mum was being fucked and raped constantly due to blackmail, and in the finale that somehow becomes a good thing in the end. Now, how the 'fuck' on gods earth does that work? Anyways, all the rape and blackmail did, was nothing at all! All it did was create tension between the reader who is reading it and the characters themselves. Although the male protagonist was awesome, strong and doesn't take no shit. But don't get me wrong, I was like "just get this rape shit over with", I even skipped pages just to ignore it all. I hate that shit, it was totally unnecessary, like I said! Now I did say you really don't feel anything for the characters and what happens to them and me skipping rape shit makes you think that, I do. No I don't care, I just hate rape and blackmail thinking that it does something to the story when it doesn't, I mean the guy just pops out of nowhere anyways. Now the ending I cant say, but on Mangafox it gets even worse and really ends up confusing you, on who's who, and whats even bloody going on. Enough! The story is alright, but I hate what they did to it. So, a 3 for being poorly executed.

Art (6/10) - The art redeems it a little, and is the best aspect of this whole Manga. But even that is just fair at the most. You didn't really take in the environment or admire any of the art. It was more like, "oh so that's whats going on, ok next page", or you just read the lines and turn a page. The art didn't make anything easier by explaining any of the situation. Even the feelings of the girl who is on her last legs of life, didn't appeal to me either. The art was dull, the art didn't give me a deep impact or understanding of what was happening and what they're surroundings were. The characters though I thought were alright, and nicely done, the female was pretty good looking too, ...well.. for banging I guess, but that's about it. Also, each section felt like those 100 pages you put together and flip through them quickly and it looks like a movie, I like to call them flip books, lol. It honestly felt like that, just *plop* in library, *plop* I know about your secret, *plop*, oh now they're both on the floor making love to each other, what happened to the inbetween? That can't of just been it right? Anyways, the art would be what was best for this Manga, nothing else was really all that good anyways.

Characters (4/10) - The characters were decent, they did the part they're were given and nothing more. None of the characters emotions or anything of a sort added to the story, or give you an impression. I mean, the characters are so forgettable, and no not just because they have a foreign name, it's because they left no impression on me whatsoever, I only just read this manga and I forgot the name the female protagonist fell in love with in the first place, and the only reason I know hers is because of MAL providing the name for me, thanks MAL! Saved me a bunch. The rest I couldn't be asked to look up, because I'm lazy.
The characters past didn't really give them anything more either, and we all know when we know of someones past it tends to deepen the characters depth or connection and possibly even understand exactly what the character is like and is. But in this instance, that would be wrong. It doesn't add anything to them at all. You still end up thinking, if he really is just doing this out of pity, and... he even said that he isn't kind of person. But then again he only really accepted her, when he learned the truth, see what I mean? You don't even really trust the characters and their actions. Always makes you wonder, but still nonetheless, you don't get the feel for the guy and the girl, well she's trash, dump, idiot and little selfish, but the selfish part I don't mind but being ignorant and ignoring other people around her is just being bitchy. She might have a life threatening disease but that doesn't mean everyone else is irrelevant and only thing that matters is, her! You damn bitch! Her mum became a slut in a matter of seconds, first you think it's because for the love of her child, but in the end she's just being a slut. Nothing more, nearly all the character are worthless apart from the male teacher, he is alright, I guess. *sighs*

Enjoyment (1/10) - There wasn't any, the only enjoyment was my expectations that it was going to be interesting and good to see how things turned out, but that was thrown right out the window before I could click the back button on my browser. But I guess you will still continue just to see how things turn out, but just because you do that, doesn't class it as enjoyment. It's like having to cut the grass, do you enjoy it? No you don't, but you still do it, don't you? Same thing, you wouldn't class that as enjoying something. Nothing more to be said.

Overall (4/10) - MAL classes this decent? Really? *sighs* Well I guess, it was alright it wasn't all bad and shit. But most of it was, so might of well have been. You will find yourself wanting to read more as you go along and you will just want to finish it, I think. I did just for the hell of adding another Manga to the completed list, haha. I really don't recommend this at all for any reader, and a definite no, no, if you hate woman getting raped, girls and woman getting blackmailed, hate seeing girls just giving their bodies up like it's a prize you can get at a fair, hate douche bags because they're just faggots in every way, oh and always dumb bitches who only think about themselves and what goes on around them. Other than that, then still don't read it, because it's just awful. Reason I gave it a 4 was because, I usually plus all of the Story to Enjoyment together in this case equals 14, then I divide 4 for the overall which equals 3.5 and seems I can't do that it is rounded up. Decent, tuh. -.-

That's all! I hope you enjoyed the review. If you have any awesome, romance manga's that haven't been animated or any amazing Ecchi (don't care about any plot, but would be nice) that hasn't been animated then I am looking for some good ones to read, I am looking myself. So if you have any suggestions then please drop a comment on my profile, thank you and goodbye and good day.

This manga is very hard-core. the students are horny as hell. and the teacher can not control himself. I hope there is ten more volumes!!

it is super funny- if you like dirty sex jokes.

I had to write a review- and i hope people will buy this from Amazon.jp

the art is amazing- but only one volume has been made

the author is busy with his new series, i think.

if there is more volumes i will jump for joy- literally

you won't believe your eyes while reading this.

This was my first review- I am seriously hoping and praying for more volumes. I can see on the websites these chapters get a lot of attention and comments. I am not sure how it sells in Japan, I guess that will be the key.

But you can never expect an English translation to hit stores in America, because it is too hard-core.

it puts other ecchi manga to shame and is a must-read for all fans of the genre - these girls are crazy and he loves it but at the same time he is afraid he will lose his dream job.

if he can keep it in his pants and keep the students fully clothed is the biggest challenge of his career.

EDIT: part will be released on amazon.jp on Oct 9 2019- OMG i am soooo HAPPY about that!!

The story might not be unique or interesting, but the characterisation and development well and truly carried this manga to be part of the creme de la creme of romance mangas.
Art is nice and simple, though undoubtedly lack detail and refinement. But not that bad to the extent of not wanting to read it.

The characterisation is good, characters are quite realistic and all that. But the most well excecuted aspect is the character development. It's nice and smooth, no retarded, abrupt and unrealistic developments.

Just like how you crave your favourite snacks, you will certainly be addicted to this manga and start craving.

Oujo Alexandra felt like an inspired sequel to the play of the two sisters in the sister manga Glass no Kamen. I mean it felt like an illustrated play which is very fun to read.

Story 7/10:
It's a about a princess who losses her ability to see in an accident that changes her life and her confrontations with her stepmother and her children (It's an infusion of Cindy, Snowy and the imagination of the mangaka). Although there are holes and the message of trust solves everything feels too wishy-washy, it's a fine piece.

Character 5/10:
Maybe because it's an old manga the characters were typical fairy-tale flat characters such as the goody-two-shoes princess and so forth.

Enjoyment 8/10:
A breath of fresh air. Short, easy to read and optimistic. It's not a happy tale, it follows the princess's misfortunes but at least for me it wasn't heavy especially with the princess's attitude toward everything.

Mahou Shoujo Site Sept serves as a spin-off of the Mahou Shoujo Site series. Therefore, reading it is not crucial to the main story.
The art was pretty average, not better or worse than in the series. What I did like were new magical weapons and abilities. Weak sides of this manga are mostly characters which lack development and quite predictable story. Some of the characters appear also in Mahou Shoujo Site, but that it not interfering with the story.
Overal for me 6/10 since I didn´t enjoy this story as much the other works from this author. However, the manga is quite short, so you should give it a try.

There really isn't much to say about this series to be completely honest.

It's extremely short, so all it was trying to do is to give a message within the span of 1 volume instead of exploring what it's trying to tell. Nothing about it particularly stands out, there was no real plot and the characters were flat and identical to one another. There were no interesting storytelling gimmick since the main character, Kiku, spells out the themes of the manga for you every time he has an inner monologue. It's also one of Takahashi Hiroshi's first manga, so the art wasn't anything amazing like his later works either. It's just...incredibly average.

Overall it's something you can easily breeze through in half an hour and forget most of it in a matter of days. Despite that however, it's a good gateway to start getting into Takahashi Hiroshi's manga, for it does give you a good idea of what type of story he usually tells.

The first one gives you the story from two points of view which you rarely see and I give props to the author for that.

The second one is a pretty typical student teacher love plot (to me).

I found the third one pretty good as well because it shows that not some people have difficult times trying to communicate and I'm glad there are people out there who accepts that-in manga terms anyways >w

I was really sad to see this series end so quickly.

Tenohira no Netsu wo is a 23-chapter manga centering around a really go-lucky guy named Shinya who has never been involved in any prior sport. After a chance meeting, he somehow gets sucked into karate at the national level, and gains experience/strength along the way.

I don't exactly know why, but the characters, the story... there is a certain force that just makes you want to keep reading. From the very first chapter, I actually began to feel genuinely excited about turning to the next page - a feeling I rarely experience. It's not just about karate: the author artfully makes it about the characters, their interactions, their emotions, and every panel is used to add to its mosaic.

However, it seems that the collective humanity of 2016 (or some stingy editors) did not concur, and discontinued this work before it could develop even further. Yet, even with such a short span, these 23 chapters were able to show that correct storytelling can turn a simple topic into something more.

Of course, because of the cutoff, the ending feels abrupt. Although he did tie up things pretty well considering the circumstances, you are just left wanting more - or you could be at the end thinking, "why did I listen to this guy?"

Hehe.

In the end, you don't need to be a karate fan to enjoy the moments of thrill these pages will illustrate. I'm not a personal butt-kicker, but this manga has certainly done that to some of its fellow works.

My only wish is that you feel the same joys I did while reading it.
