As you may see, i rated everything a 10/10. Thats how much of an impact this manhwa had on me.

This was the first manhwa i ever read, and it has shown me the beauty of manhwas.

The story? It's just great, since the beginning, it was obvious Sung Jin-Woo IS gonna become the most powerful hunter, but i still wanted to read more and more with each chapter and i basically became drunk on the story.

In a world where there are monsters and people become so called: "hunters" and where you have guilds and dungeons and everything is like in a game. But for Sung Jin-Woo, it basically became a game.

Sung Jin-Woo, the protagonist, is the weakest of them all. He is called "The Weakest Hunter" and is just getting beaten up, because he needs to pay for his mother's medical bills (she is ill and has been in a coma for 4 years). He goes into a dungeon where sh*t breaks lose, almost everyone dies and the survivors run away, leaving Sung behind. He sacrifices himself, and for that he earns the power of the "system", which basically makes his life a game. He levels up, he has an inventory, he has stats, stat points, etc. and his objective is to become the strongest hunter and face the horror again. But when he reaches this place, will it still be a horror?

Sung Jin-Woo isn't your typical "Weakling becomes way too OP to give a frick" type of MC. He is really really strong, that is true, but his power depends solely on the system, without it, he is just a mere weak E-rank hunter, The Weakest. He constantly levels up, and its so much fun to see all the jokes and its so enjoying for me to see him progressing.

Art is AMAZING. I love manhwas for the fact that they are colorized, and i love the style of this manga and the look of every character so much. Every character felt like their appearances make sense and they should be like that.

Characters? Well, this manhwa has some "fan service", but not in a wrong way. The waifus are everywhere, there are tons of girls to pick from, and every single one has their moments, or at least one. Every character so far has a personality that in a way makes you either love or hate the character, and it all just makes sense and is so well written.

My enjoyment as said was BEYOND OUTSTANDING, like, if i could i would give enjoyment even a 100/100. I know i'm really overrating this, but its just how i feel. In these 137 chapters that has been released so far (31.1.2021) i have not been bored in ANY of these and i can't wait for more.

Final Word/TLDR: I would recommend this to anyone. I had so much fun reading through this and its still publishing, so if my final thoughts change, i'll update this review, but for now, it's a solid 10/10 and i recommend it to everyone reading this.

For people that came here from the anime: you are in for a treat. The anime version (while somewhat different at times) has prepared you for only the prologue of this outstanding series. Once you get past volume 3 (where the anime ends) the story really begins! Kinusuga is a very talented author that manages to bring forward so many different and distinct characters while Tomose Shunsaku who is gods gift to man makes the most wonderful and sublime illustrations of all the characters (especially the girls). If you want to know if this series is for you then there are a few things you should know: Are you good with a lot of dialogue and not much action in forms of fighting, but more internal strife, competition, and deceit between the competing classes? Do you like big brain anti social Mcs that are really damn cool, but also give off a mysterious vibe and background? Do you like Waifus and lots of them to the point where almost any female character that has an illustration has a fan base for them? If you said yes to any of these, I suggest picking up Classroom of the elite. There are great characters, awesome and compelling plot mixed in with emotional and psychological events that are such a joy to experience. There's only 7 volumes total in physical, but you can find al l16 in the Cote disc, enjoy!

I loved this manga because it had a more unique romance concept, however, it had such an abrupt ending that left you in such a crazy cliff hanger that I have never seen before. Very disappointed how it ended because it had so much potential and so much build up.

The characters were very awesome and had a bit of romance in them, which made it better, it had its funny moments which made me laugh.

The art style was also very good and I really care when it comes to art style and this manga had it for me. I loved the art style, and some similar ones.

Really hope that they continue or I will probably have to read the light novel series.

You know , I've thought I've seen the absolute worse that shitty isekai stories have had to offer , but oh boy this story takes the goddamn cake at the top of my most hated list .

To sum it up , this has to be without a doubt the worse Isekai Revenge story I have ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes upon .

But I'll go point by point to explain detail why I hate this story :

1 . The title itself is a goddamn lie , the MC is supposedly the Healer Hero yet he can do all kind of non-healing shit . I get that in revenge stories , the power difference is supposed to be on the avengers side but I feel like the author was purposefully misleading people by making them think the MC is somehow the underdog here .

2. The story is utterly bland to a fault , while I do like me a good revenge story every now and again , this story was ruined by stupid characterization and lazy writing .

3. The sex and rape in this story happens so goddamn frequently that at times I legitimately thought I was reading a goddamn hentai . Which is basically this story but with even shitter writing to top it off . Its not even a surprise to me anymore and that's saying something coming from me of all people .

4. Every character in this story is utterly shit , the harem solely exists for the sake of sex and to be the MC's cheerleading squad/sex slaves . Which the MC has been doing since the very start which makes him just as bad as the people he's taking revenge on .

And the antagonist are even worse , their characters are so poorly and only exist for the sole reason of making the MC look good by comparison . The Sword Hero ? She's a serial sadistic rapist now . The Cannon Hero ? A pedophile who has his own network of little sex slave boys .

You know , when you need a torpedo rapist to make your MC look like the good guy , than he probably isn't that good a person to begin with .

It seems like every goddamn character in this story solely exists for the benefit of the MC . The antagonist are bad just for the sake of being bad and making the MC look good by comparison , the harem is just there for fanservice and sex .

Speaking of the MC ...

5. The MC himself is a piece of sentient human garbage whose horrendous actions are only justified by massively unrealistic Freduian Excuse which was caused by the author bending the world over backward to screw him over , to make his horrid actions look justified .

Instead of proposing an actually interesting moral conflict where the MC's horrid actions make him become just as bad as the people he is taking revenge on , the story just makes everybody else a million times worse to justify his horrid actions !

And of course , anybody who doesn't suck him off ( Literally and metaphorically ) is evil with no redeemable qualities .

In conclusion , the MC is by far the worse character in the entire series and has been without a doubt the worse isekai MC I've ever had the displeasure of reading .


Anyway , I think I've summed up everything I hate about this piece of shit . And I am genuinely amazed that this manga got a goddamn anime . Standards for making an anime must have really fallen if they're willing to animate this piece of shit .

I just heard about this recently, not surprisingly to see why, and finished it all in less than one night. I was hoping for something entertaining related to the yakuza but the closest thing to that would be the rivalry between clans...and everything else is just out the window with said clans being just high school students killing each other nonsensically with semi-explained supernatural powers in an alternate history in which they end up having to change into one that makes more sense in our own reality. Well that was quite the run-on sentence, but that pretty much sums it all up.

I found it to be quite inconsistent, switching genres between high school slice-of-life, to gory Battle Royale-like action, to X-rated sex scenes, then to action-drama at the climax, and bits of romantic comedy thrown in here and there. The story (what if the bomb was never dropped on Hiroshima because it was stopped by super powers to control time and space) in itself was interesting, but the delivery wasn't so much (said super powers controlled by high school students in clans instead of clubs, killing each other for no other reason except rivalry, and to get a good grade (they're marked by the educators of their death toll and survival rate).

The characters had a lot of potential to shine because they were interesting and likable, but not a whole lot of development considering the length of the manga.

At least the art was good and tasteful. Although it might not sit to well with other people that have weak stomachs. Or tired eyes because there is just so much crammed onto a page that you might not know where to look first or what your even looking at.

I felt like the manga had a fairly solid foundation, the main characters are unique but the side characters are pretty cliche'. The protagonist was original in the fact that he wasn't some attractive guy which was interesting to me. However, he does retain the fact that he is incredibly thick-headed (more so than average) which bothered me.

The story itself takes off fairly early however, It doesn't progress very fast and stays in the same place until towards the end. It felt like some chapters destroyed the progress made and the next chapter does the same, with this process repeating.

To me, the above would've been okay if the manga was much longer however by the time the story moved on it had concluded. I haven't done much research on this particular manga but it basically felt like it was supposed to go on longer but they decided to conclude it prematurely.

Okujou-hime had the potential but every character's personality just didn't seem to have the chemistry.

Love Death.. is kinda parted in two different stories. Which got me confused at the begining, because I couldnt say if the other volume is actually continuation of this manga.
Just after reading other reviews and recommendations I realized its one manga.

First part of Love Death tells the story of girls, that love each other so much they could kill one another..
I really enjoyed this idea and from the first page of manga I got so into it, but as I was reading on I got quiet dissapointed.

The repeating scene of fights got me bored. I hoped for something else, that would move the plot on.

Second part Nikochuu was much better. The plot was slowly moving on. The love between two girls was blooming. I found second part just great.

What I truly hated about this manga is the lenght of it, but the idea of both parts was GREAT..
Still each part could be definitely MUCH LONGER. I would like to read more of it, but every single chapter was so short I couldnt get to enjoy it as much as the idea of whole manga offered.

If you dont mind the lenght of manga and you are looking for a bit of crazy love, you might like this one.

TL;DR: Pleasant, lighthearted fare with hints of romantic friendship. Great for slice-of-life, comedy, and shoujo-ai readers!

I love Fujieda Miyabi's works. They are very easygoing works that are great entry-level reads for the slice-of-life and shoujo-ai genres. "Alice Quartet Obbligato" does not stray from this, although it has a much heavier focus on slice-of-life and character. That said, it still has hints and traces of romance for the girls' love reader to enjoy.

--

Story: Consistent with Fujieda's works, this manga has a very simple premise that acts more like a backdrop than an actual story. Four girls work to design and make clothes in the clothier shop Alice Quartet, and they talk and interact with each other as they work. There is a lot of comedy in this manga, and there is a very lighthearted and easygoing tone throughout the work. The romance comes in the latter chapters, and it does feel a little rushed - thankfully, that is far from the main focus of this work.

Art: Pretty, graceful, fancy. These girls not only make fashion, but have great fashion sense - great character and costume designs all around, critical for a manga about clothes. Clear lines in the drawing further emphasize the elegance Fujieda bestowed on his characters. Most of the panels have simple or no background, focusing instead on the characters and dialogue.

Character: Nothing unique, and all of them more or less fall into some sort of archetype. Fumi is quiet and hardworking; Suika is vibrant and enthusiastic. That said, the interactions work very well and they play off with each other smoothly in every chapter.

Enjoyment: Very pleasant, very lighthearted fare. Think of it as a snack - it's a short manga that can be read in one or two sittings, and works effectively as a breather between more serious or longer works. It's very accessible for people new to slice-of-life, comedy, or shoujo-ai, and I recommend it as one of your first reads!

Overall: I really enjoyed this manga, although it isn't particularly unforgettable or striking. If you're looking for something to tide you over or for a short change of pace, I highly recommend giving this an hour or two of your time.

Review in english:

Ikkitousen focuses on the constant struggle of the magatamas owners against their tragic and endless destinies, magatamas are inherited from generation to generation by young people who constantly face each other - because of the spirit of warriors of the time of the romance of the three kingdoms - but the plot abuses multiple cliches, and ends up bad on some scenes of ecchi, the manga succeeds in delivering great moments of drama, tension and comedy, but it's not exceptional. It is important to emphasize that the work has definite consequences based on the actions of the characters, as well as their maturation, but unfortunately we have several nonsense in the middle of it and some conveniences and easy solutions for the plot to walk. Unfortunately we are faced with Deus Ex Machinas and some things with no logic in history.

The characters are mostly charismatic and useful to the plot, many of them mature with the course of the plot, but in contrast, we have some characters that are no more than a lazy plot-device, as well as several disposable archetypes, we also have some superficial dramas to respect of part of the cast, but it is offset by other well-written dramas.

The art is good for an action manga, the framing is very good, the scenarios are well designed, the strokes are consistent and the action scenes are well detailed, easy to understand and very well choreographed, not just power shocks, but great fights with minimally decent strategies. Also got good ecchi scenes in the battles and slice of life of characters, but not ever good for the plot, but with good art.

The manga has a strong relationship with the events of the novel of the three kingdoms, in the passages of chapters we have various information about the ancient warriors who represent the characters, also details about some events, strategies and battles - which are presented in the manga from a perspective contemporary - I like how certain information is not thrown at us through idiot expository dialogues.

Ikkitousen is an ecchi of action that undoubtedly will entertain you and from time to time surprise you, although it skid sometimes and is not something exceptional.



Resenha em português:

Ikkitousen foca-se na constante luta dos donos das magatamas contra seus destinos trágicos e infindáveis, as magatamas são herdadas de geração em geração por jovens que constantemente se enfrentam - por conta do espírito de guerreiros da época do romance dos três reinos - mas a trama abusa de vários clichês, assim como acaba errando em algumas cenas de fanservice, a obra consegue entregar ótimos momentos de drama, tensão e comédia, mas não é algo excepcional. É importante destacar que a obra possui consequências definitivas baseadas nas ações dos personagens, assim como o seu amadurecimento, mas infelizmente temos várias bobagens no meio disso e algumas conveniências e soluções fáceis para a trama andar. Infelizmente nos deparamos com Deus Ex Machinas e algumas coisas sem lógica na história.

Os personagens são em maioria carismáticos e úteis ao enredo, boa parte deles amadurece com o decorrer da trama, mas em contrapartida, temos alguns personagens que não passam de um plot-device preguiçoso, assim como vários arquétipos descartáveis, também temos alguns dramas superficiais a respeito de parte do elenco, mas é compensado com outros dramas bem escritos.

A arte é boa para um mangá de ação, o enquadramento é muito bom, os cenários são bem desenhados, os traços são consistentes e as cenas de ação são bem detalhadas, fáceis de entender e muito bem coreografadas, não são apenas descargas de poder, mas ótimas lutas corporais e com estratégias minimamente decentes. As cenas ecchi são sempre bem desenhadas, nas vezes que pecam, são sempre nas vezes que não se encaixam com o momento certo.

O mangá tem forte relação com os acontecimentos do romance dos três reinos, nas passagens de capítulos temos várias informações sobre os guerreiros antigos que representam os personagens, também se encontram detalhes sobre alguns acontecimentos, estratégias e batalhas - que são apresentadas no mangá de uma perspectiva contemporânea - gosto de como certas informações não são jogadas para nós através de diálogos expositivos idiotas.

Ikkitousen é um ecchi de ação que sem dúvida alguma irá te entreter e de vez em quando te surpreender, embora derrape às vezes e não seja algo excepcional.

Desert Coral is a unusual manga, action-based but with few fights. At the beginning it might get boring, specially through volume two, but as you read on you find it will become more and more interesting and exciting. The story might be hard to get, but if you re-read it it should all become clear.
