Fushigi no Kuni no Shounen Arisu review
The easiest way to describe Boy Alice in Wonderland is as an episodic mind frag. Continuity between chapters is sparse at best, and I doubt giving it more time to gestate in my mind will help. Let's just dive right in, shall we?
Story: There is something of a unifying story, from time to time, within this manga. Whether its just that the mangaka intended chapters to be jumps forward or backwards in time from one to the next, I don't know. What I do know, though, is that reading this in chapter order makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Our main character starts out fairly clearly male, becomes more effeminate, gets turned completely into a woman and goes back to being effeminate at varying points, all while insisting that they are, and always have been, male. They are also regularly set upon by various male characters seeking to make them their bride. Frankly, I just don't think much of this whole thing. I don't mind time skipping storylines (Reservoir Dogs is a fine example of such a sotryline done properly), but this is taking things to an absurd level (if that is, in fact, what's really going on). I'd love to give this manga more time to hammer out the details, but I just don't feel that I can right now. 3/10 Art: Where this manga pulls itself completely out of the fire. The art is quite nice. Not superb, by any means, but still very nice. 8/10 Character: Characterization is tied incredibly deeply with the storyline of this whole thing, and thus doesn't quite match up to expectations. It, however, receives a higher score than storyline for the simple reason that the characters maintain far greater continuity than the storyline itself (even if they don't remember each other, their personalities and motivations don't do any great flips or flops, generally). 5/10 Enjoyment: There is great documentation of people deriving a perverse pleasure from watching train wrecks, car crashes and the resulting rescue operations. Frankly, I think those would be more enjoyable than continuing to read this. It isn't absolutely horrible, but I can't see myself continuing to read this for any reason than to see what other bizarre leaps the mangaka has in store for their characters, and only then when no train wrecks or car crashes are available to satiate my stranger moods. 4/10 Overall: 5/10 I'm fairly sure this manga will appeal to some, but it just doesn't to me.

ROME ROME review
Zombies. They're everywhere. Shuffling around with slack-jawed gazes looking into nowhere. If your house were surrounded by them, and you were written and drawn by a guy who has the same kind of humour and penchant for gore as filmmaker Takashi Miike, just what would you get up to?
Would you treat them like a pesky nuisance of the same level as lazy cows? Walking around and over them to get your laundry which the wind blew away? Play football among them to showcase your awesome skills? Have a drink with them because your wife's too much of a hag? The art is packed with irreverent humour, there are zombies shuffling around in the background all throughout. The characters all look like they were the product of a yakuza and a back-alley whore, in a word: not so pretty looking and with gigantic attitude stamped on their faces. The manga rolls from one small incident to another, with the haggy mom as the centrepiece sorting out one bothersome chore to another, and it all culminates in a bigger incident that will have you holding your breath in suspense, only to reveal a hilarious and totally random revelation. Short, funny, violent, educational.

Shuriken to Pleats review
The 2 is for the fact that this is from a library so I can sleep knowing i didn't pay for this, it's length (not that I think being only 11 chapters excuses anything) and the art which is pretty enough. That doesn't take away from the fact that this is the most bland thing I've ever read. I would recommend reading your local phonebook if you were interested in emulating the experience. Anyone who gives this more than a 3/10 is a liar and is lying to you. So
Then again the main demographic of this is probably vampire knight fans so maybe the taste of cardboard with big anime eyes attached is appealing to you.

Murder Incarnation review
Murder incarnation is a very short episodic manga, so i'll try to keep things as vague as possible to avoid spoilers.
Story+Characters- Murder Incarnation tells 4 different stories over the course of its 10 chapters. They all revolve around the goal of bringing someone dead back to life through the killing of 3 people.Each story has a different twist and i thoroughly enjoyed all of them, the last one being the highlight for me. There is only one constant character throughout this manga, Mikuni Maya. The mysterious girl with twin tails who has an interest in corpses and offers to bring the dead back to life in exchange for 3 murders.The other characters of a story will only be around for 2-3 chapters, but they all bring something new to the table. Some characters make you want them to succeed in the killings and others don't. Art- The art has a strange style to it. It seems as though the artist has created 3D models and then altered them digitally to look black and white.I don't know the exact term for this style, but it added greatly to the manga's tone for me, as everything looked very "otherworldly". Final thoughts- I stumbled upon this manga whilst browsing Crunchyroll's manga section and i was a lot more than just pleasantly surprised by it. The only negative for me was that we didn't really learn anything about Maya. Why does she do this? Where does she come from? One chapter from her perspective would have been perfect,as this just held it back from that perfect 10 for me. If your looking for something short to read in one go that has interesting stories with twists and turns give this one ago, it might surprise you.

RaW Hero review
-SUPER SHORT REVIEW-
It's good. And weird. It has to be your cup of tea for you to enjoy it. Lots of nonsense humor. The protagonist ends up becoming a cross dresser. The art is just great. The characters are unique and the story is funny with a couple of serious moments that will make you think. This is the same author as Prison School, but I think the pacing is way better and the drawings have a lot more detail to them, so it's a lot easier to understand what's going on. If it sounds like you might like it, it's sure to make you laugh out loud a couple of times and get you hot and bothered in some scenes.

YOWAMUSHI MEIKYUU review
The best-laid plans of mice and men oft go astray.
Yowamushi Meikyuu is a quick shoujo/school life read, possibly about romance but somehow a little Slice of Life-y too. Brought to us by the Queen Of Shoujo Smut Minami Kanan, it affords us a look into the life of Izumi, our heroine who like everyone has a thing for the resident school Prince, Kamo-kun but tries the indirect angle of approaching his middle school friend Torahiko-kun for background info on Kamo so that she can casually forge a deeper friendship with Kamo than her competition. And maybe along the way her object of affection changes to the reticent and tsundere-ish Torahiko. She goes about continuing the farce thinking she'll get a reaction out of Torahiko one way or another and make some magic happen between them, but why is Torahiko so damn enigmatic?! And what is with this new girl in school suddenly endearing herself to him despite her Gloomy Gussy ways? The art is realistic (well shoujo realistic!) and appealing. Cute actions and gestures lend an overall happy tone to the story. Characters on the other hand are not what I encounter often at all. The heroine is far from a typical besotted leading lady ready to blush and swoon at a moment's notice. Instead she's sneaky and confident in her ways while being a genuinely cool person to everyone around her. The hero is interesting in that his actions and motivations are never made crystal clear which is what carries the story forward. Also he's not given to sweeping anyone into his arms simply coz they grinned in his direction, which makes for a bit more realistic, if less quixotic feel to the plot. Check on the character growth aspect as well. Possibly, you'll walk away with a valuable life lesson yourself. The real reason you should read this story is not the art or the romance though. You should invest ten minutes in this oneshot because it's a very different and alarmingly honest look at love and relationships and every disappointed shoujo reader who desperately wants a heroine they can look upto and admire will walk away satisfied after finishing this.

Balance Policy review
Balance Policy is about a boy who was turned into a girl because of japan's birth rate declining.
In short mangas like these, you can't really expect anything "good" in general standards and it is understandable. Rather, when it comes to these, I think you're supposed to just read and observe till you get a proper conclusion of everything that has happened. That is if, you ever get it. What made this manga piqued my interest~ Is that it gives this distinct and strange feeling. Given the premise and synopsis of the manga, it is. Everything and Everyone is strange and weird in their own way, as so is the story. And mangas like these are often than not, short. Yet they give off that same feeling. The feeling of distinct oddness that each of the characters show and convey to each other and to us readers are quite something that makes us not want to remember it. Well, generally. But for me it's the exact opposite. And the moral or the message that the author wanted to convey was to be who you are despite the gender. As long as you feel like it and know it is still you. Which isn't a bad one, yet simple. You'd have to cut it some slack as it only has 15 chapters and this manga is indeed only "simple". Though the ending left a bitter taste to others, I can understand them. But as a person who's read a similar manga this isn't exactly new either. And there's just no exact "Good Ending" that fits in the narrative of the story. I think it did it's job to make the readers see something unexpected just as the premise and story did, and feel something up until the end. And that "feeling" can be bad, disappointed, or even trashing the story. Which again is understandable. And to a certain extent, fair. Overall it's an 8 for me, personally.

Alive review
As soon as I saw the synopsis and the length of this manga, I wanted to read it. And that's what I did. So, I'll just get right to the review part now...
Anyway, the story of the manga is pretty good. It's short but it made me attempt to figure out some things. But, when they started to explain certain things, I was honestly just confused. No, it wasn't hard to follow... It was actually kinda straightforward. The explanation as to what a certain thing originated from...surprised me but not in a bad way. The art's really interesting. It's bit messy but in a way that makes you want to see more of it. The characters can look freaking cool at times and the scenes with more action look nice. But, I will admit that in some panels the drawing makes it a little difficult to understand what's going on. This doesn't matter too much though since it's easy to figure it out afterwards. The characters aren't too developed...but that's what happens when you make such a short manga series. The main character, Yashiro, is kinda interesting though because of his situation. But, yeah, like I said...it lacks character development. But, even though it lacks, they all have at least a bit of personality to them. Story: 9 Art: 8 Character: 7 Enjoyment: 7 Alive is an interesting manga despite it being short. It's good if you're looking for a quick read. Overall, it earns a 7.

KANOJO NO KAGI WO AKERU HOUHOU review
First review on this site here so forgive me for any errors
Its alright. That's the best way i can sum it up. Its the basic he likes her but she doesn't until it slowly comes clear that she does like him. There are two other females who play a support/love interest as well but if I'm being honest here, they clearly don't try hard enough to obtain the MC or its probably obvious that the story will end up like many of you expect it to be. It's honestly one of the few cons i would give this manga. It's among those stories where the other females are much better suited for the MC(one in particular early in the manga that i wont spoil) but he loves the housekeeper much more. To some they may like that but i was getting a bit frustrated if I'm being honest. The housekeeper has a nice story to her ill admit and she isn't too much a pain, just your average "I'm only here cause i have to be" trope. Give it a read if you got nothing else to read
