The characters are awesome you just have to love all of them. there all so different with their own personality and their backgrounds are incredible. i just loved this manga it WAS AWESOME!!!

Like a whirlpool, the Index franchise focuses on a story that spins and revolves detailing the events of various characters. A labyrinth of secrets, ideologies, and developments constitutes the story made up of two sides – magic and science. But yet, the world sees both sides develop with abnormality and struggles. A single word cannot describe such a struggle as a dangerous group looms in the darkness…just waiting to strike and take over, setting about a new era of desolation.

Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament (also known as A Certain Magic: New Testament) is the sequel of Index light novels series written by Kamachi Kazuma. As a light novel, expect text and lots of text of not just based on conversations but also technical standards to convey its essence. This is New Testament focuses on how both the magic and science side go about with their plans with the story. Additionally, these plans involve our main characters. Armed with the Imagine Breaker, we meet Touma Kamijou, a normal boy who is thrown into a world of abnormality. As a main male protagonist, he also plays the role of a hero for his efforts in the prequel in the World War III arc. Of course, to say he did that all by himself would be an understatement. Characters such as Misaka Mikoto, Accelerator, and Shiage Hamazura also have their various roles. In this sequel known as Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament (NT), their roles extends to ways that will change the world forever.

But the world of NT is not so different from the prequel. For standards, there’s still Academy City where normal humans and espers reside. Then, there are other settings, some that you may be familiar with such as Hawaii, Tokyo, and the United States. Then, there are places that will strike out as peculiar such as the Baggage City, where a major event occurs caused by unrest. Nonetheless, NT exploits these settings to bring out one simple concept – diversity. And on a technical standard, there is also focus, as an emphasis on the story. As mentioend before, there is a dangerous new organization made up of powerful magicians seeking to change the world. In NT, the audience will learn more about their goals and ideologies from all angles.

At its best, NT works like a computer introducing many new characters and ideas that all connects to the story. Among some of these ideas spell out mysteries such as the origins of the Imagine Breaker, the near indestructible Windowless City, and truth regarding espers. And among these mysteries, there is the mysterious organization composed of powerful magicians known as Gremlin. While their goals are controversial, their purpose seems to suggest for the world to get a better understanding of itself. NT explores this organization against the world by characterizing their members and their personas. One particular member, the leader of Gremlin, is unique in many sense with her personality. And in one of the most dynamic volumes of the series, her fight with Touma constitutes beyond just the typical boxing or esper duel-abouts. It formulates a path going beyond the world of normalcy in incalculable ways.

Of course, conflicts doesn’t always end without solutions. Thanks to the efforts of the protagonists, problems do get resolved but not without some unlikely allies. Some of these new characters are introduced from various countries and backgrounds with their own ideologies. On the other hand, a few of them feels edgy and their actions can be predictable on some standards. Furthermore, it could be an overstatement to label them as “allies”. NT characterizes its characters by various backgrounds not by just through motivation but also with a multitude of purposes. These have reasoning and connects to the overall story effectively. The niche to some parts of the story sometimes become dissected by generics and unnecessary comedy. Still, it is tolerable and doesn’t get in the way of its ultimatum.

Similar to its previous predecessor, NT also has its darker dynamics. The dark side of the Academy City is explored upon with revisits to both past characters and newer ones. Espers are indeed to be both feared and respected. NT circumnavigate various human emotions relating to espers. Characters such as the level 5 Accelerator seek absolution after his actions in the infamous ‘Sisters Arc”. Then, there are dynamics focusing on people that opposes them. A theme of bigotry plays the role here involving characters that go against espers in arc specific stories. They are crafted by various ideologies that connects well to NT’s world.

There are 9 volumes of NT currently released and most of them are predominately focused on Gremlin’s goals. Yet, there also other volumes that explores the dynamics of supporting characters from different family origins. Eventually, their unorthodox roles connects together with NT’s main story that enlightens the path of a memorable journey.

Unfortunately, NT still has its generics surrounding our characters. Most of the main characters does not go any drastic personality change despite some of the events involved. Furthermore, the comedy moments often feels forced, repetitive, and on occasions even asinine. While some of the characters’ dynamics are fascinating, most of the main characters’ backgrounds still remains in unexplored territory. Characters such as Accelerator and Hamazura returns but has less focus on their background development. This is perhaps the result of a large story casting that orientates more on the story. Yet, on many opportunities, there should be occasions to explore their backgrounds but most of it is brushed off. Misaka Mikoto, Academy City’s ‘Railgun’, also suffers development in particular with her relationship with Touma. There’s a weakness in pacing and most of it is lost thanks to Touma’s actions.

Luckily, fans may come to appreciate some of the newer characters. While some of them lack originality in terms of character design, their persona may paint a memorable experience for readers. Their behavior reflects a clear and concise way of influencing others. Furthermore, their roles in the arcs in each volume let the readers get to know more. Most of them aren’t disposable either as the more prominent characters introduced in NT are characterized by strengths of their roles. I think fans can appreciate the way Kamichi writes his story to categorize them each differently and in his own way. On the other hand, some of those characteristics may come as cliche or unsatisfying depending on preferences.

As a light novel, there isn’t much artwork to write home about. Yet, the dialogues captures the many creative ways Kamichi describes his characters. It’s easy to picture what’s happening on most occasions with fitting imaginations because his descriptions often use similes and comparisons. I like the concept behind his way of describing the character vividly and to fine details. These include the clothes the characters wear, their powers, and personalities judged by actions. Some dialogues later on in the volumes really reflects emotions and the pains revolving the actions/results of the antagonists.

Overall, NT is something of a gift, ready to be opened by fans of Index. The LN is fairly long with each chapter detailing events in fine detail with clever dialogues. And because the series offers a diverse cast of characters, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with them individually. Whether esper or magician, there’s special about each character that gets themselves involved with NT’s story. Even as humans, they hold influence too. The back stab to some of these character might lack a bit of background dynamics. Some characters also can be categorized and be put on the generic hall of fame. But for it’s worth, NT is a series that not only expands the Index realm. It revolutionizes it.

Don’t read this. Just don’t.

If you want to experience No Longer Human then go and read the novel, watch Aoi Bungaku or read the 2009 version.

Did you ever skim through a summary of a book you had to read for a class but didn't? This is that. This manga is a ridiculously quick run through original novel that doesn't give a shit about anything. It’s rare that I come across manga and anime that comes off this lazy. Needless to say none of the strength of the original are here, you’ll be fine just reading an actual summary of events rather than getting through this garbage fire.

As if this wasn’t enough, the art is just atrocious. There’s no consistency to any element of it aside from maybe backgrounds either not existing or looking like someone vomited them out in Microsoft Paint. There are some visual metaphors like Oba seeing other people as faceless creatures cause he doesn’t understand them and it would’ve been fine if it was just a page or two but this continues throughout the manga with zero consistency or meaning to it. It comes off as nothing more than a laughable attempt to skip out on drawing faces than an actual attempt to make a point.

I sure am glad I spent time on this.

The El Cazador Manga is short. 1 volume for an entire new plot premise may lower it's enjoyment level for some, but it pulls it off well. The only returning characters from the anime are Nadie and Ellis, with Ricardo and Liliro appearing in the backround of 2 panels. It's sad we don't get to see the manga versions of L.A. of Jodie, but Alice is a good replacment for L.A./Rosenburg. The art is a quite different but it's still quite good. The amount of nudity can be a bit overdone, but for the most part it's tastefull. More or less.
If you liked the El Cazador anime and ecchi manga adaptations (Think the Mai Hime manga, ecchi-wise), this is a great manga for you.

This manga is simple, nothing extraordinary (don't expect a deep or crying story) , but yet the story is beautiful. It's a little bit mysterious due to the few dialogues and the sceneries, and talks about a man who ran way of his life in the city to live in the forest with a bear.

The art style is very unique. Well, it may look kinda lazy or "unfinished", but I think that's what make it beautiful and different.

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to pass time and read a short and unique manga, without many dialogues, but yet pleasant to read.

THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW
Tl;dr - You like supernatural, comedy, a bit of drama with breath-taking illustrations and art?
YES? READ
NO? SKIP IT LIKE THE PLAGUE

Amentia

What exactly does the title mean?
Google defines it as "severe cogenital mental disability" or "mental retardation".
This question will ultimately haunt you till the end.
Whatever Amentia means to you is what the series is trying to portray and interpret to you through the various confrontations and incidents that will happen in the manhwa through the eyes and perspective of the male main character (Lee Wi-Jin).

Story- (7/10)

The male main character (Lee Wi-Jin) is a siscon who likes to his serve his "impeccable" and "perfect" little sister (Lee Wi-Na). His little sister (Lee Wi-Na) mocks and despise him for doing so. He has powers which makes him able to manifests copies of things which he uses to create copies of his little sister (Lee Wi-Na).

One day, he (Lee Wi-Jin) meets a black-haired transfer student (Sung Shi-An), a Waker, abruptly tries to kill him after he tried manifesting a copy of her sister (Lee Wi-Na) on the school roof top.

My thoughts on story-

The synopsis of the story is some-what unique with all this 'delusions' and all this weird settings. It does not take much effort to understand the story as it is really straight forward. Wakers (people who hunt delusioners) do not like delusioners as they break the balance of the world by manifesting and making things that are not supposed to be real while delusioners manifests things which will benefit them. This kind of story is nothing special as it is seen in many kinds of manga/anime/manhwa with similar plot and storyline.

Art- (9/10)

Well, what can i say? If the cover art/illustration does not draw you in, i do not know what does.
It IS serialized by Comic GT, which is famous for their aesthetically pleasing and wonderful illustrations. Heck even their website looks amazing and presentable. But i digress, it is made possible by an artist called "INI" who draws almost all of the illustrations and art work done for this manhwa with sometimes help from the people of Comic GT. The 2 main heroines drawn, Wi-na and Shi-An are drawn really-really beautifully, which to me, is really a great eye-candy.

The colour palette used for the characters and the backgrounds does not overshadow each other which makes reading the manhwa a really enjoyable experience. It also does not stray away from this concept of blending in many different colour such as having many different colour combinations showing the experience of the artist knowing colour blend very well with vibrant colours. This makes every character unique. This makes the series feel very memorable. I do not really not much about art and colours so much but all i can say is that it looks like the illustrator spent ALOT of time and dedication in illustrating it.

Although the main male character (Wi-Jin) looks like your stereotypical boring and average male protagonist, i got to give credit in trying to make him look different than those average 'kirito-like' looking protagonists by having messy and wavy hair.

Character- (6/10)

Eventhough it is a unique take on trying to fit in a sis-con protagonist (Wi-Jin) with an arrogant and perfect sister (Wi-Na) which is like from a side character tropes of an anime/manga/manhwa, it does it well enough to not make any big inconsistency which really affects the development of the story.

Shi-An on the other hand feels like a "plugin" character so that there will be a contesting female heroine for the the main male character (Wi-Jin). Both back stories will be explored further but the obvious hints of Wi-Na's backstory was really intriguing and fascinating for me to explore further towards Wi-Na's backstory most of the time since she IS the cover art/poster girl (Maybe it's just me).

The other characters are not really interesting at all which makes them forgettable easily since they do not really progress the story but will only be there to progress a certain part or create tension towards a certain
event/incident.

Enjoyment- (8/10)

I personally love the funny and perverted humour injected towards the 3 characters daily interactions such as Wi-Jin's obsession towards Wi-Na and Wi-Na being too bossy towards the Wi-Jin (Maybe im a masochist?). The suspense and the build up to know the root cause of the problems were understandable despite it being stretched-out for a bit too long although foreshadowed since the beginning. The other "small" arcs building it up towards the end was anticipatively worth it as the resolution and ending was some-what bittersweet although rushed to an extent.

Overall- (7/10)

It is a really entertaining manhwa to read IF you have spare time. I would recommend to those who likes to read supernatural and a comedic premise with a hint of drama. It has a really good looking illustrations for the readers to enjoy and be entertained (and put as their profile pictures; of course).

Conclusion-

This manhwa is not for everyone unfortunately. It appeals to those who prefer and favour the supernatural and comedic genre through the use of very vibrant and colourful illustrations.

Finally, what does Amentia means to me?
It means a person who is stuck-up in trying to change what had already happened to suit themselves and forgets what it truly means to be living in reality.

Since this is the first review of this manhwa so far (13/05/17), hopefully i answered all the questions you had for this manhwa.

[Slight info about the raws]

I bought the raws for Amentia from Comic GT directly, so please show your support to them by buying from their website. Currently, there are books published for Amentia which are available in Japan and Korea. Only 2 volumes of the books have been published and serialized which are fully coloured by Comic GT (there are also additional artwork and illustrations!).

[Trivia]

In an interview with the illustrator, INI (Pen name), there was initially a name planned for the series before "Amentia" but he decided that "Amentia" was a better name than the one originally planned for the series. There is no mention of the original name given to this series.

From the mind of Hiro Mashima, Edens Zero is a space fantasy manga following the adventures of Shiki Granbell and Rebecca Bluegarden on their journey to find the goddess of the universe "Mother". While many people make the assumption that this manga will be filled to the brim with "nakama power", like it's predecessor Fairytail, Mashima has actually done a fantastic job of subverting those expectations while poking fun at his own trope. This manga is full of compelling characters, interesting plotlines, and fascinating twists. I thoroughly enjoy this manga and will continue to read it weekly as long as it runs.

First Impressions: The series had great pacing at the beginning, first chapter was brilliantly portrayed and easily kept me interested. Not too many characters, which made things simple and easy to keep track of. The urban legend that is the main premise of the story was explained very early on, which made things easier. Overall, the first few chapters do a fantastic job of drawing readers in.

Things I liked: The way the story started, it jumped right in, Good suspense, The origin/backstory of the Lolita ,Pacing, THE PLOT TWIST

Things I didn't like: tory needed more empathies on the relationship between the protagonist the other characters, (such as the younger sister, friends, family) because when these characters are killed off, its hard for the reader to empathize for the protagonist if the said characters didn’t seem to close to him originally. A little generic, with the way the suspense sequences were carried out especially.

Final Thoughts: A bit generic for the genre, the deaths of characters were predictable (not the way they died, but if they died or not) I did like what they did with the plot twist and the backstory/explanation of the Lolita or the urban legend

Looking at the synopsis of Domestic girlfriend you must be wondering, this is a perfect plot for a threesome hentai and bingo!!!! You are correct this is an erotic manga, though most people might deny it, it is one.

Just like everyone after seeing the first episode of anime, I got curious and started reading the manga just whether to continue to watch anime or not after. But after 24 hours I'm in chapter 200, with a vision of writing a review.

There is a saying that looking for a plot in hentai is really stupid, but in fact, this has one, just like every other romance manga (like Nana) where MC is in love triangle and has a problem in selecting whom without hurting the other. I would say that the story isn't great or anything if you look at it from a shoujo/romance manga's point of view, in fact, it has a storyline like that of milking money out of a weak plot. But if you look at from the hentai point of view, I would say it has a more realistic scenario than most hentai. 

I'll stop here about the pros and cons and dive into what the overall plot is with minor spoiler (which aren't spoilers but just my opinion):

From all the chapters I've read I can understand where this manga is going, Basically it looks like any other harem story where MC is a nice person and all the girls start falling for him, but I think it's all just to keep the plot going as the main objective is that MC must love both step-sisters and eventually marry both of them and happily live ever after.

But what I liked the most was, it tackles some realistic topics like the competition in the literary world, the marketing techniques etc (of course being an author is easy to write it as being acquainted) which is what I liked in Nana(manga) which deals with the music industry. 

Coming to character development:
Well, character development of the 3 MCs is good. In fact, like many mentioned it started out great in early chapters but with the cast growing enormously it was obviously difficult to concentrate on everyone, so that's a major drawback but of course why would anyone want to observe this in a hentai.

Rui: She is the younger step sister who is like the cute dense waifu character who has weak (wrong) communication skills but manages to get what she wants as she expresses without being shy. I personally vouch for her.

Hina: She is the older sister who is like the cheerful ideal girlfriend who gets hurt while trying to meet the expectations of people while suppressing her own feeling. I like her as she is just like me who is a bit realistic and mature in thinking. (but I personally like Rui over her)

Natsuo: He is a writer and an ideal harem kingu but I kinda liked his character (though I hate a harem MC) as he is actually aware of his surroundings and acts accordingly unlike some Mc’s who kiss their girlfriend in front of other crush or give in to seductions by cheating on their present girlfriend. Although he starts out immature but in the long run, you could see him handle things well.

Other characters are basically there to either break or make the relationship possible between MC and either of the two sisters.

Some people might be offended thinking that incest is being involved but the MC is acquainted with both the sisters way before their parents marry and they aren’t even related by blood so I think there is nothing wrong with the plot. The jokes are handled well, not too much exaggeration but not too hilarious either, but it has really good irritating plot twists which keep the story interesting.

Well sorry for writing such a long review for a hentai, overall it wasn’t a trash, but it’s a good hentai with some realistic elements. Just read it for erotic pleasure, it doesn’t deal with any life teaching topics, it’s just your normal soap opera with twists at the end of every chapter. It’s worth the time if you willing to read an erotic manga :)

P.S: Did I mention the words erotic and hentai too many times, well I''m sorry :P

I think it was Tezuka (main male lead) that really made me love this manga.

Story: Overall the story isn't anything too special. As mentioned in the plot, it's about a girl who becomes manager for an actor. Then there's romance.

Characters: I feel like many people like character development, but personally I feel like characters don't always have to grow. In fact I think for this particular manga, romance played an important role, and the fact that the characters didn't change actually made me enjoy this manga that much more. Nothing in the story drags, maybe except at times, how dense the characters might be about the others' feelings.

Romance: No spoilers, but really if you're a girl, you'll more than likely like Tezuka's character. This is one of the few mangas where a male character is so completely honest about his feelings. For me it was a really refreshing, genuine kind of honesty. Hahah, what in the world does that mean? IDK that's how I felt. Different people will have different opinions.
ALSO, in terms of how the romance develops I would say the romance comes really early on in the story. It is also more noticeable from the male vs the female lead, but overall, I'm satisfied.

Art: I'm not too picky. I first thought of Chou yo Hana, then i looked it up and the two are by the same author xD makes sense. The main leads look exactly the same in my opinion.

Overall: Huuuh, he is my ideal male lead. I realize this review sounds more like a review about Tezuka, but he's the reason why I enjoyed this manga. Girls, if you're looking for a manga to read that has an honest, kind, bickering/angry, protective, and understanding guy, this one is for you.
