Most about the manhwa is average, no, it's slightly worse than average except for the art, it's very good.The execution and the pacing is also good. However, it doesn't have properly developed characters, only the protagonist pretty much got what can be called 'character development', and once he gots that, it's pretty much stagnant. The plot is crappy and generic too. It focuses more on action and artstyle. The protagonist pretty much nails it all, he seldom have any struggle against something after the beginning part of the story. It's also way too edgy... like a 12 year old's edgy delusions. TOTALLY OVERRATED. 5/10

Out of curiousity, I've read Meg to Seron without read the prequel Alison and Lilia. So I can assure you can read this side story without having problem if you don't read the prequel.

Story - 8/10.
Seron is handsome stoic guy who like read book and always receive love confessing from many girls. But he just interested with one girl, Megmica, that he met on art class. From this point, the story develop onto their adventure with their friends solving mysteries.

Meg to Seron tells a story about newspaper club that each volume trying to solving a mystery. For the mystery aspect, I'd say it pretty predictable. You'll know the ending in halfways reading the story. But the pace and the story is not bad either. In short word, you can't expecting some twist in the end.

Character - 8/10
Strong point from Meg to Seron is character. We have Seron who love Meg, Meg who can't notice Seron's feeling, Larry, best friend's Seron, who always helping Seron's love, Jenny the president of newspaper club, Nick, and Natalia the bespectacled childhood friend of Larry. This gang has pretty interesting dynamic and each of them have different skill, knowledge or resources (They are all the rich kid) to solving the mystery.

Especially Seron, he is pretty struggling with his love to Meg, because most of the mystery that they're investigating consist of love thing.

Enjoyment - 8/10
I'm kinda like this story even though the mystery is predictable. Maybe because the character is likable and sometime you can laughed when Seron is too serious about Megmica.

Is this Perfect? No, Is this Amazing? No, Is this awesome? Fuck Yeah!

This shit is the weirdest of weirds and is a perfect example of why Japanese crap is amazing.

At first, I wasn't liking the Male MC. It started getting funny when he was turned into a robot and eventually when he turns into a Girl then It's the funniest.

I'm kind of surprised that the story kept him as a girl. Most stories would turn him back. It's kind of annoying when stories do that. I do like that this is pretty much a 3-way-Yuri story by the end.

I'm not gonna lie, I like the fantasy world we're shown partly. I would love to see it's own separate story on that.

It's just overall a pretty funny story.

Why was this even made? A legitimate question, not even just me being snarky...

If you're here because you were (or are) a High School Musical fan, I suggest you turn around and walk away. And probably try to forget about this entirely. Because even these ten pages were an ultimate waste of time, for the readers and probably everyone else who was involved.

I know that many people may disregard this because of the fact that it's a short manga and it's rated so low that you're morbidly curious, but don't, because that's what I did and I regret it entirely. This isn't even the sort of bad that you can laugh at. It's just... bad. Not even funny bad. Just plain terrible with no apparent reason at all.

If you're still here looking for specifics, there is no plot at all. It's just Troy's thoughts on literally established canon. It's literally 10 pages, what are you expecting?

If I'm being honest, the art is bounds better than most shoujos, but that doesn't make up for the lack of anything else happening. For that reason, I rated that higher, but it doesn't erase the fact that the rest of the manga deserves no score at all.

In summary, I think this would have been better off as some sort of manga-style fan art of the movies. That's about it. This should have never been made into a legitimate manga. I mean, who's a big enough HSM fan that they're desperate enough to read manga of it, for heaven's sake?

All that being said, please don't read this. It's for your own good.

So I'm typing this review right after I finished this manga, and let me tell you what, this manga lost all everything in 1 chapter towards the end. It completely ruined everything they had built up that they could have done more with for some twisted weird ending that I didn't care much for. But that's juts me, maybe you'll like it... maybe

Story:
It's about a president of a club and a swimmer in the swim club that really like each other. When they eventually tell each other their feelings it goes great but things happen and eh it got weird real quick. You gotta read it to find out cuz no spoilers
Art:
Good, not the best in my opinion but it's borderline passible. Idk what else to say, I'm not a artist
Characters:
It felt like that the male and side characters had things going for them but wasn't explored deep enough so they kinda fell flat but the female mc that the male mc likes has one of those deredere archetypes. So yeah kinda all generic.
Enjoyment:
Pretty good until things got weird because of this I felt entirely unsatisfied at the end. However if you want to see the plot twist that comes at the end go read it. It average at best.
Overall:
Had so much potential but didn't explore enough of the characters to fufill the potential. So fell flat and ended up being a pretty bad manga in my opinion. But what does my opinion matter, go read it for yourself and make your own judgement because I'm just that 1 dude on mal.

Story: I only gave this story a 4. To be honest, it's kind of a cool premise. Like I got kind of interested after the first chapter, but unfortunately the downfall of this manga is just the pacing and writing. It's all over the place. Like there is barely an introduction to the characters in the story, it just starts running. It makes it difficult to feel anything for the characters without a proper introduction.

Art: The art is mediocre, it's almost over done and messy to the reader.

Character: I give the characters a 3, because I found that the characters were very superficial and shallow. You don't feel anything for the characters.

Overall, a cool plot and story, but structured so poorly that I've lost interest, and I think that some others can agree with that.

You ever just, like, read or watch something not out of unironic enjoyment, but because you want to see how the absolute train wreck before you ends? That's this to a tee. The art is ugly and messy, the plot is insane, the characters are often unsympathetic and make decisions that make no sense to any rational human being, and yet you're supposed to find at least parts of a story about a 10 year giving birth to a child sappy and/or heartwarming.
My verdict is to read if you want to roast the hell out of this with the group chat on the discord, but don't expect to this to be an actual underrated gem or whatever.

That was amazing. Art is simple..and relaxing. Simple but page to page background going more detailed. Also you can really say clothes and faces come from 1924.
Characters...eh, for 40 page, outstanding absolutely. 2 characters and nice thoughts. You can understand the characters.
Story, first 12-13 page is boring but after that very good. Punches and Rocky are awesome :))
And, i enjoyed it. İf you like slice of life and seinen stories, im recommending it.
Sorry for poor English.
This should be a real manga i think. And this must be the 0th chapter.
"1st chapter: 5 years after" B). This would be great.
Again sorry for poor english, my anime list didn't accept my review because of length ':D.
This much should be enough.:f

EDIT : Caught up to chapter 50 and I love this manga. The following was written when I had finished reading chapter 21 and modified a bit thereafter, due to which I changed my rating as well

Well this is my first review on MAL so please bear with me. Also, I'm thankful to the various translators and hope they can keep up the good work.

Story : 7.5/10

This story is a bit different compared to typical rom-coms, you'll see why from just the first few chapters. It's funny, light, cute and somewhat reminds me of Hollywood sex-coms. It's not thought provoking or complex, but it fits perfectly with what the author is aiming for : adolescence sex comedy

Art : 7

It's simple and clean. The art where they show close up of the girl's face is pretty good. Apparently it's also the author's first serialization, so it's impressive considering that. I wish the breasts weren't drawn so oversized though.

Character : 7

I haven't seen any silly nosebleeds in this one yet. I haven't seen "accidental" situations that lead to the female getting violent unnecessarily beating up the male. MC's insecurities are targeted well, he's not the "knight in shining armor", but still has positives about him that eventually make you want to root for him; he's a bit timid, a bit clueless too, but the female lead makes up for it with her aggressiveness. She's unexpectedly shy at times as well, which made me wonder if there's a backstory there (given how she is a bold gal at other times).

The other characters so far (not many) have been okay. Nothing extraordinary but not boring either. They provide comic relief or some other plot help at regular intervals to keep it fresh, but there's no diving into their lives so far.

Enjoyment : 9

The premise, plus how quickly things take off and the silliness in various situations make this manga very enjoyable. It's definitely not slow, the pacing is good. It's light, at times funny, at times cute (with a big help from the female lead, she's probably one of my favorite female leads in romcoms). The interactions between MC and the main heroine are the key part of this manga. The story also makes you look forward to the next chapter.

Overall: 8

This manga is the closest I've come to finding "Skill of Lure" level of fun. It's not at the same level, but it is still ongoing and has good potential. It's not "hilarious", but has a good balance of rom-com-SoL. I just hope it doesn't have overly drawn out dramatic arcs in the future.

I'm not sure why the overall rating on MAL is so low, there are several romcom manga out there that are nowhere close to this level of fun but are rated much higher.

This comic is probably one of my favorites from Hino Hideshi, he keeps the creepy and shocking vibe throughout the whole thing which is why he's one of my favorite mangakas. The story is clear in the first chapter, an artist describes his hellish works that consist of grotesque imagery using his favorite color, the color of blood. Throughout the chapters, we see his point of view of gory things, along with his family who commit atrocious acts. The characters are really good when it comes to them telling the story from their perspective. The art is great, as seen in other Hideshi mangas it's sort of cartoony and unique compared to other horror mangas.

Overall, I enjoyed this manga a lot and if you are a fan of Hino Hideshi or horror then give this one a read!
