One Piece is by far the most successful of the Original big three of shonen Jump, It's become one of the most influential comic series in the world. It stands among Industry legends like Hirohiko Araki and Fujio Fujiko. While One piece doesn't have the flawless art of Tite Kubo or the Fantastic concept of Naruto it makes up for what It misses with unlimited pizazz and energy elevating it above it's contenders.

Q: Should you Read One Piece?

A: One piece is a series that takes a lot of commitment with an overwhelming amount of chapters, (over 950) While the exceedingly extreme length of the Manga may seem daunting, the more and more you read of one piece and the more you enjoy it the easier it is to read, And soon enough it becomes part of your daily routine to pick up a chapter and read it each week. Overtime long running shonen series such as one piece become a familiar backdrop in everyday life and while the length may prevent you from initially getting into the series soon it will become an everyday thing.

[Story 8/10]
"Wealth, Fame, Power" The pirate King Gol D. Roger gained all the wealth that there was in the world, on the Day of his execution he echoed the words "My Treasure if you want it you can have it I left it all I that one place" and his final words lead to a revolution, the great Pirate Era, Countless dreamers seek to find the legendary "One Piece" in order to be the next pirate king. one such Dreamer is Monkey D. Luffy, a young boy from the East Blue who ate the Gomu Gomu No Mi, a mysterious fruit named "Devil Fruit" which gives you a power in exchange for the ability to swim. The young boy set out on his journey across the great grand blue making countless friends, enemies and allies along the way.

One Piece is a series built to withstand the test of time, with a plot that could take forever to resolve does the story serve it's job well enough to make up for the almost impossible goals it sets for our character? Yes. Each new arc introduce's us to a whole new world, each island has its own culture, politics and ceremonies. this adds a lot of depth to a location. Think of it Like Morioh from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is unbreakable. Morioh is like a character in and of itself just like how each island of one piece is like it's own independent personality. While in the end we know the Straw hat pirates are gonna come on top the stakes still are high enough to question our heroes safety.

Overall the story of one piece is great, it has fantastic world building and the themes will very obvious are executed well.

[Art 10/10]
One piece's artwork accentuates Oda's fantastic worlds that he creates, each island has a a great design and are all aesthetically beautiful, One such example is Thriller Bark and Fishman Island with small little details that add so much to the world. The character designs are iconic and easily distinguishable, I could recognise almost every character from the series purely from their silhouette alone. There's a great sense of energy that flows between each panel of one piece and the way that Oda structures his panels are just phenomenal, they just flow so well together.
Art is absolutely brilliant.

[Characters 8/10]
Every character in one piece has a clear and defined personality easily separating them from each other, Luffy is Lazy, Stupid and Incredibly strong. Zoro is Badass, stern and a great leader, Nami is smart, greedy and has a love for those close to her. Each character has very easily distinguishable traits that make them easy to recognise. And overall there all just a hell of a lot of fun read on with together, There all a A jolly bunch and its impossible for me to hate anyone on the straw hat crew. the villains are Sometimes cartoonishly evil like Heath Ledgers Joker or Dio Brando and some other villains are Deep and Well thought out like Yoshikage Kira or Askellad. Villains like Buggy the clown while fun to read are plain comic relief and don't add much depth to the world, On the other hand characters like Mihawk, Akainu and Dolflamingo have layers upon layers of character each with a different motivation and backstory and all serving there role and antagonistic forces in the story. Side characters are never just one time characters, Great side characters like Trafalgar law and Jinbe are always nice to see again, and even if they aren't shown again they can be mentioned again through other people later on in the story.

[Enjoyment + Overall 9/10]
One piece is gripping and fun and always has a lot of flare and energy that just pulls me into each new chapter of the series. With some great art and fantastic energy, alongside awesome characters one piece is one of the defining manga series of the century and will continue to be one of the best manga ever until it's eventual end.

This story truly embodies the tantalizing journey that life presents us. The meaningless void it can throw us in, leaving us with never ending scars. However there is also beauty in it all. When we view the world with others the darkness of the past gets blurred leaving only happiness.

"The Horizon" follows a boy after viewing his mother die. This destroys the boy turning him into a nihilists devoid of any reason to live. Until he meets a girl. The two travel down a long road moving forward no matter the adversities in their path. Creating a bond that can never be broken.

The Horizon blends the line between what is right and wrong. It poses morale questions that truly have no answer and puts our characters in the middle of it. These decisions degrade them and make them loose semblance of what their life means. However they are able to overcome the dark feelings surrounding when they enjoy life's small pleasantries together. Simple beauty can overcome the strongest disparities, showing us the humanity in everything and everyone.

Death is a prevalent theme in "The Horizon". Many characters wish to die to end the suffering plaguing them and will give up living if it means to end the insufferable loneliness and pain. We learn however that when we find someone we care about, we find new meaning in protecting them. We see characters relearn humanity through each other. Demonstrating the artists belief that human connection can conquer fear and pain. When we find others who bring forth joy we discover that life is not meaningless, and death can not erase the connections we have made.

I have never experienced a apocalyptic story that focused so little on the actual events of the disaster, instead showing how the characters interact within it. This leads to a compelling tale of the human psyche. Displaying the ideas of nihilists and how they interpret the world around them. Love is what makes the world grounded and round, it leads us down a never ending path. This path even with no clear direction is enjoyable since it can be walked with others who feel the same things we do. This is the beauty of the world and the reason we strive to live.

"The Horizon" is a masterpiece that showed me the importance of relationships.

I hope it will do the same for you.

This manga work this way clients visit Ayane (Main character) asking her to resolve causes of harassment sexual,Stalkers, rapists and things like that, since you pay the amount that she wants
Then the same thing happen every single chapter, serious, She arrive in the place something happen that she need to be naked to enter in the place or she is hypnotized by some guy that want to see her naked and when she is about to be raped, shirome comes release her from the hypnosis and she use a super kick in the guy and conclused the request.
Shirohime is an exorcist loli who accepts requests for free, Ayane says that she want to becomes friends with her in the 1° chapter, but her real intations is use her to exorcist bad spirits to finish the requests. Shirome said that there is spirits around her leg and she exorcist them, but they always come back again it made Shirohime think about the past of Ayane and what happened with her leg. Ayane also has a ball-shaped camera that her friend NEET uses to assist her, but so far we know few things about him.
If you like manga with naked women and predictable this is for you, otherwise don't waste your time reading it.

Burden with an outgoing thematic depressing routine

A relentless senses where a man couldn't regret. Mistaken how babies where born to fill soothen up your non stop cycle. So delusional twisted sight, such boundary of memories get torn apart left in an epitome cruddy life.

Asserted in a premises between two siblings wants to go an a mere conflict
like becoming a newly wed couple. Distraught of casually act of purging the law
without getting against at. Not necessarily broad but it attains more leading to a certain matter between the depths of history in our society.

Stretching out the hidden gaps which haven't well adapt must gone easily deeper from it's process as it concludes of begging your life without an inner luck.

Madofuki Park is a Shounen, Comedy, Sci-Fi one-shot about a young boy named Park in a city set in the future.

Story - Park works as a window-washer to earn money to support his "Jii-chan", who suffers from a sickness, and often causes problems in the city. Not too unique. =/

Character - Well, we learn a little bit about the character's past, but there really isn't anything that stands out. The main character, Park, is a typical Shounen character...gets in trouble a lot, but does what he does for a good reason.

Enjoyment - Didn't enjoy it that much. The "comedy" aspect of it wasn't that funny, nor original.

Art - The art wasn't that bad. Everything was supposed to look futuristic so it was interesting to see the new type of cars they drove around. :P

Overall, Madofuki Park isn't the type of One-shot to read when you're looking for something good to read. I'd recommend reading it if you're in the mood for childish humor and a quick read. :P

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this manga series up. I intended to finish up the entire series since it was only 2 volumes long, but after the 1st volume, I found it so awful that I see no way of the second volume being able to redeem this retelling of one of my favorite series.

First of all, if this is a retelling of Code Geass as seen through Suzaku’s eyes, then it’s appalling at how many inaccuracies there are. There are no Knightmare Frames. None. Zilch. Zero. Suzaku’s prototype Lancelot suit is just a suit he wears into battle and looks like someone’s Gundam cosplay you would find at a con. The Black Knights, instead of commandeering a fleet of Knightmare Frames, are just ordinary drug traffickers. Thus, there are no mech-to-mech battles, as Britannia isn’t shown to possess Knightmare Frames either, so battles instead center around hand-to-hand combat. Other inaccuracies abound: Here, Prince Clovis’s murder is simplified to the point of blandness, Suzaku’s subsequent trial and public execution from the anime are completely distorted, as well as Zero’s kidnapping of Suzaku afterwards. But perhaps the biggest insult to the series is the true intention of Suzaku’s father. As a result of this distortion, the entire basis of Suzaku’s philosophy and intentions in the anime are completely destroyed, and Suzaku’s development as a character is further hampered by the fact that Lelouch never used his Geass on him in the manga!

One of the things I loved about Code Geass the anime is the relationships amongst the characters. Here, there is none of the strategic, chess-like grittiness that goes on between the Black Knights and the Britannian Empire, and you don’t feel much of Suzaku’s internal conflict with himself at all, because of the destruction of his character basis. His philosophy is highlighted during his first encounter with Lelouch as a soldier, after his rescue during the trial, and when he first put on the Lancelot suit. However, it is so weakly portrayed here that the fact the manga prides itself on being a “Code Geass told through Suzaku’s eyes” series makes it even more insulting. Suzaku’s relationships with other characters, to say the least, is horridly done. Much of the time it’s a distorted version of his internal conflict, but his relationship with Lelouch, deeply portrayed in the anime, feels distant and cold here. It feels like their relationship is held together by used Post-it Notes and Scotch Tape rather than something that was developed over years of hardship and understanding. Arthur doesn’t come up to bite Suzaku’s finger, and Nunnally is portrayed as “my best friend’s little sister” rather than a member of the royal family.

Many characters were shoehorned in for a few scenes and lack much of their distinct personalities, such as Kallen, CC, Prince Schneizel, and most of all, Jeremiah, who here is portrayed as an out-of-character generic soldier. If you just read this manga and skipped the anime, the name Orange-kun wouldn’t mean a thing. Many characters are cut out from the anime, such as Princess Cornelia, King Charles, Villetta, Nina, Rivalz, Milly, and all the Black Knights except for Kallen.

But… the absolute, most unforgivable character they cut out would have to be Princess Euphemia, who is replaced with a shallowly developed character named Mariel. For a manga centered around Suzaku, this is perhaps the epitome of idiocy this manga has to offer. Euphemia is the catalyst of Suzaku’s actions from a third of the way into R1 all the way until at least halfway into R2. She sets things into action towards the end of R1, and if she were cut, there is no chance of telling the Code Geass series accurately.

The premise of this manga is an interesting concept. The conflict of ideals shown between Lelouch and Suzaku are a major theme of the anime series. It goes beyond good vs evil and transcends into what’s morally right and morally wrong, and why they all act the way they do. The anime is told from a Lelouch-centric perspective, and oftentimes Suzaku is portrayed in a negative, naïve light. But the basis for Suzaku’s actions is strong, and it would have been wonderful to see an interpretation of Code Geass from his point-of-view. But this manga’s billing of itself as Code Geass told from Suzaku’s perspective is an insult to the Code Geass name. It’s even an insult to the character it tries to focus on. For the proper Code Geass experience, I do command you to watch the anime series- both R1 and R2- and avoid this manga series like the plague.

This is one of those interesting gender bender stories, that the guy looks more girl than the real girls but is abnormally powerful. This isnt one of those typical typical ecchi manga you do get the fanservice because of the power of the knight and how the knight gets it but the storyline is actually good in terms of master and servents and the power of her servent and the rarity for a master witch to choose a knight to serve them. The main thing is the knight has to protect the evil witch who is actually pretty cute but there is a reason behind it being a witch ability to become pregnant no matter human or demon or so forth whoever or whatever impregnates her will have the ability to a create a powerful child, that is the main purpose of a knight to protect the witches body from harm. The problem so far is not everyone can become a knight and its rare a knight is chosen as you read the story you will understand why he was chosen as a witches knight, there more to it than the actual purpose as you read and find out, i recommend it because its one of those typical main charactor is weak than become stronger and finds purpose plus the fanservice is an additional plus

Just so everyone is aware, I don't know about an anime, novel, or anything that is related to this story. I am reviewing this manga as it is, all alone. With that said, let's get into it...

Story: Well, I mean shit. I wasn't expecting how this went. I'm not going to write spoilers, so I'll keep it vague... But I guess I should have seen it coming? But really, the story itself isn't anything new and not exactly well executed. It's just average, and unfortunately short (because I feel like if the author could flesh out their ideas with more chapters, it might be better).

Art: The only redeeming part of this manga. It's well done. That's pretty much it.

Character: Flat. Boring.

Enjoyment: To be honest, knowing it was 14 chapters I just roughed through it because I wanted to see if the ending would save it... It didn't.

Overall, this was a bit disappointing. I saw a lot of people recommend this... but I think it was obviously a troll (due to the content).

I had high hopes for this series i thought it was going to show me the character development i always wanted to see in a anime and alot of progress in the relationship but what i exepected was wrong the anime turned into a borderline hentai i have no problem with that but when the harem came into place that is when the line was crossed after that i no longer got the enjoyment i wanted every time anything romantic is happening it is always ruined by the harem and honestly the anime is just following the typical plot all ecchi anime take a harem with lots of panty flashes to lure in people but the story will never go anywhere and there will never be a proper relationship but i hope in the future it changes

A funny and cute romance story about a girl and an androgynous vampire.

I enjoyed this thoroughly, however the manga was ended prematurely just as things were starting to get more interesting.

The side characters were uninteresting, but the main leads were good and their yuri-like romance was cute.

The androgynous protagonist had some interesting connotations but we do not get to see how this plays out in the end.

I would very much like to read the continuation of this story but considering 8+ years have already passed since publication i doubt that we will see that happen.

Story - 7: Interesting concept that is executed fairly well but ended too soon.

Art - 6: Very sparkly and girly, but can be a but over the top at times making it hard to decipher what is happening in each scene quickly.

Characters - 5: Apart from the protagonists most of the characters are uninteresting and very generic.

Enjoyment - 8: The comedy was fun, the romance was cute and it kept me reading so i can definitely say this was worth the read.

Overall - 7: Lacking in some areas but overall an enjoyable title.
