Solo leveling is by far the best manhwa I have ever read. It has the best character development I have ever seen. Many characters have been given equal spaces and equal roles properly. The story is fantastic. This is a masterpiece.
Yes, the main character is overpowered. But the way he gets overpowered is simply amazing. The fights are well planned. No unnecessary fights or chapters. Simply perfect is what solo leveling is. It’s really sad that this manhwa didn’t get its anime adaptation, cause this definitely a lot better according to me than “noblesse” or “Tower of god” or “The god of high school”.
This is a must-read manhwa for both manhwa and manga readers.

NO PLOT SPOILERS

While I’ve read the Manga, my review will be based primarily on the Web Novel, which I consider to be the most enjoyable way to consume the Re:Zero story due to the more intimate understanding you receive of the characters' internal thoughts and feelings as the plot progresses.
Thus, art will be excluded from the rating.

Story - 10

Anyone hoping for something quickly gratifying will not find it with Re:Zero. The story is very slow to progress. In fact, 15 volumes in, and questions we’ve been asking since chapter 1 have yet to be answered. On the contrary, it is at a faster pace that more questions are added than answered. However, that’s not to say that it wastes time or fails to provide information. In fact, it does a marvelous job of ensuring that every chapter is a necessary inclusion. (Mayo on the side) This story is one to be savored, and I dread the day that it wraps itself up.


Character - 9

Natsuki Subaru is a flawed character; and that is intentional. You may get impatient, and you may facepalm in disgust, but there are real consequences for his personality failures, and like anyone who grapples with their own shortcomings, he will struggle and adjust in order continue on for himself and the people he cares for. Be ready to suffer and struggle with him. He very much progresses from the person he starts out being.

The other characters naturally endure their own faults. However, that does not necessarily mean you won’t find them charming or enjoyable. Re:Zero does a very good job with showing how changes in environment or knowledge can alter a character’s reactions and priorities. It fleshes out the supporting characters’ dispositions, and allows the reader to truly understand who they are and why.
There are exceptions to this, but for the most part, every character introduced in the story is cherished by the author, and breathed life into.

Enjoyment - 10

Personally, I very much prefer concise stories with dissimilar arcs and zero fluff. So it’s a testament to Re:Zero’s ability to maintain the flow of itself over its many volumes that I find such a slow progressing story to be the #1 most enjoyable in my collection.
I’ve chuckled, I’ve cringed, I’ve cried many times, I’ve had my perceptions changed, and Re:Zero constantly reminds me that it’s not afraid to rob me of what I expected to be a happy ending.
It is addictingly refreshing, and I’ve yet to find anything which can satisfy me in the same way.

I've never seen the anime, so I'm not going to be making any comparisons... So let's get into it.

Story: Great story. Really good. I gave it a 9. There are times where things seem just a bit slow, but as soon as you begin to feel that, things change and fresh problems arise.

Art: The art, at first, I didn't like. But the art style is very "cookie", and after getting used to it, I began to just grow to like it. The art is good, I actually like how the style changes with the mood, and when important scenes are drawn, the faces are given great detail and beauty.

Character: The characters are great. At first, you think the characters are pretty 2D. But as the characters grow, they really grow and change and you begin to like how people end up.

Overall: This series is very much like a soap opera. I mean, A LOT, like a soap opera. The way the scenes change from one to another is straight out of a soap opera on tv. The only reason I didn't score the overall score higher is that the "growth" of the characters are just a bit slow, and (i know I'll get hate for this) but the chapters are LONG and very very wordy. It takes forever to get through a chapter. I mean, 60 pages per chapter is nuts. I need to dedicate my friggin night to a chapter lol. Anyways, great series, and I think anyone who enjoys a good love story, would enjoy this series.

“In the world of Golem Hearts, creatures known as golems have become integrated with society, performing all sorts of tasks. These golems are created by the widely-respected "sorcery scholars," and obey the commands of their human masters without question. Noah is a sorcery scholar who strives to become the second best of his kind”.

In other words: The world is full of magical golems that each of it has a function. Noah, a golem that doesn’t that limitation, have the freedom to whatever he want in a useless way. He want to become the second best sorcery, below his master. It’s a manga difficult to recommend to someone who is interest mangas a little more different than a generic shonen fighting serie because of how basic to head to toe.

The characters are generic as the story, the main character, Noa, is the typical happy-stupid-innocent-guy like Natsu, but he is a pinch of difference from Natsu. Noah like to presume. Noah is rival, which I don’t remember his name, is like Sasuke but more emo and worst, so childish and stupid. The others characters are unilateral as a bridge with one way. The antagonist are evil because why not. There is one time-skip in the manga, but it wasn’t used in the way I though, Noah got stronger and physically mature and everything, excepting his personality.

The art style is fine. It looks a bit like the art of One Piece in its beginnings with the big hands and it straight drawings. The panels are well used, fluid and dynamic to read, the fight scenes are ok, but I think where the mangaka is good at it is the emotional scenes, he or she put some details to the facial expression of the characters.

It is an average manga, another option to kill time, but that's it, it's just an entertaining manga, it does not stand out at all. That’s why it is cancelled. A manga that doesn’t have nothing remarkable being published in a really competitive magazine is a instant bye bye.

this is the best book ever made


this book cured my cancer, i work at a hospital now and i give this to every kid that has cancer

i show this book to dead bodies and they wake up just to read it

i made a church just for this and people all over the world praise troy bolton


i stopped masturbating to hentai and i just jerk off to this, its that good

but sadly this manga kidnapped my wife and kids and shot them in cold blood, it also slept with my new grandma and threw out my phineas and ferb porn :(


10/10

This manga is somewhat messed up. The main character's name is Kaname Aizawa and he has a fricked up home life, so he always thinks about killing himself. He goes through everyday having these thoughts and doesn't really hang out with anyone. He is walking in the school hallways when he accidentally knocks into Shiina Hinami. Both of their books scatter on the ground and Kaname picks up Shiina's notebook. He opens it and is surprised to find out she has written down bad things. Like, "I want to commit suicide" things. For some reason, he agrees to follow her to a torn down elementary school. Kaname finds out Shiina uses this place to cut up and murder animals, so that's pretty cool. Throughout the story, we. find out that Shiina doesn't really have the worst home life, so I don't know why she wants to kill herself. We are introduced to other characters such as Kaname's ex-girlfriend. She also has a fricked up home life. Her father sexually abuses her daily and she doesn't report him because she thinks its her only was to be useful. The story never really appealed to me and they either don't explain and have very bad explanations of why various events occur. Hopefully it will get better after more translated chapters come out.

A short manga deserves a short review

There's 3 reasons I decided to read this manga:
1. I wanted to click on Yowamushi Pedal but my clumsy fingers misclicked.
2. People were saying it's a really sad story.
3. The girl on the cover looked disgusting for some reason, I don't know why.
and it was just a one-shot so even if it would have been bad it wouldn't have taken up my time.

I'm not the biggest fan of the shoujo genre, in fact I could probably count the ones I've read on one hand. But just because I'm a stranger to a genre doesn't mean that I have a negative bias towards shoujo manga. The ones I've read were mostly pretty intriguing and had a good story. Their stories however happened over the course of many many chapters, this one has only about 40 pages.

Yowamushi Meikyuu handled a one-shot romance story quite well. It doesn't waste much time with a slice of life angel and focuses on the feelings and actions of the characters. It talks about a (highschool?) girl who has trouble expressing her true emotions to the person he loves. She instead tries backhanded ways to get the boy to talk with her, the main one being asking about another boy from his class who she lies about having a crush on. However her actions cause her own defeat, as by the end of the manga she learns that if she had just been honest about her feelings from the very beginning things would have gone much better for her. The moral of the story is to be honest about your feelings, for if you hide them for too long you might lose the chance of ever obtaining them. And it does a damn good job of expressing that idea to the reader.

The two main characters, although being pretty standard romance characters, are believable and well done for the story to advance as quickly yet fulfillingly as possible. Although there is a side character that just exists to progress the story on and has close to no development, which doesn't ruin the story but is still a shame. The art looks okay, it does well in expressing what the characters are feeling visually.


In conclusion if you are looking for a good shounen manga that isn't too long or too heavy in a slice of life aspect I do recommend that you read Yowamushi Ped- I mean Meikyuu, Yowamushi Meikyuu. Yowamushi Pedal is just about sweaty men in tight clothing wanting to test each others limits, which has surprisingly nothing to do with romance.

The manga revolves around a book, as well as the characters of Kyungdo and Eunsae who volunteer to help out the library and find the book individually. The book seems to kill anyone who reads it or leads them to commit suicide so that they may become "immortal"- a promise the book makes them it seems.

Eunsae finds the book first, however, seeing the horror within it chucks it away. Kyungdo also findfs the book later and instead becomes obsessed with it. Seeing this Eunsae tries to help Kyungdo and try and protect him from it. Whether this is because she has an attraction to him or because she's a good person is yet to be seen.

We soon find out that Kyungdo has a dark history with the book, although by the end of the first volume there are still mysteries to unfold.

Rather than this being a horror manga that tries to scare the reader, it is more concentrated the mysteries and disturbing events surrounding the book, making it more of a mystery rather than a horror manga, though it is truely disturbing in parts.

The author seems to concentrate more on plot than horror and the intenseness of it all, not putting any of the main characters in life threatening danger. So, though it may be a good manga with a good plot and great mystery, it lacks what other horror mangas have.

Over all I would say it is worth a read.

Another typical Hq romance story. I would put this one in a "decent pile." Since it's a Harlequin story, you basically know what to expect; drama, one-dimensional characters, and a basic plot.
Story 7/10
Has a simple plot but it's okay. It was cute and I would say it was a success, since the mangaka managed to squeeze a fair amount of storyline considering the limited number of pages.
Characters 6/10
Comparing to the most of the HQ heroes and heroines out there, these are fine. And trust me, this girl was okay compared to the goody-stupid-gullible-virgin ones. The hero was tolerable on my jerk meter. Again there were worse ones.
Other characters are there basically to get the two of them together.
Art 6/10
Again, I saw much worse, this one is acceptable.
Overall 6/10
It's an okay read, so you should give it a go if you don't have anything else to read from this genre, or if you're a Harlequin fan like me.

don't expect this manga to be shoujo because its not its very mature i liked it first in the beggining but when i was reading it the scenes just seemed inappropriate and some of the happenings are really annoying and just stupid
but if you really enjoy this type of mangas just read it :)
its somehow entertaining because of the hilarios drawings and the characters attitude
