One Piece review
One piece is one of the most well thought manga i have ever seen!
One piece does a great job in delivering the manga to all audience in my opinion. As an evidence, one piece become the highest grossing manga in the world. As a shonen story, one piece gives a dream, fulfillment, and enjoyment to every audience as it packs a lot of funny, emotional, and cool epic actions. One piece also shows a diverse backgrounds (places) and characters of the people and places (each people are different and some of them have unique personality). In the other sides, while not emphasized, one piece also delivers deep knowledge of morale and some dark tragedies (Coup d'etat, country's destruction, slavery, racism, revenge , corrupt people, tyranny, black market, underworld, some dark secret in maintaining the peace, etc). Some children and people may not notice this while reading one piece; However, as the older and knowledgeable the reader get, the reader will view one piece differently when rereading it once again. Some people believe that the characters do not show a lot of character building. However, I believe this is true and a right choice from the author, as, in fact, changing character is an actual hard thing to do in real world (in majority of people). While some persona may change, there are always some things that will stick with the characters. Moreover, all the main crews are selected few who are especially made to be unique and important. I also really like that the main protagonist itself is like a child and think simply. The main protagonist is stubborn and reckless, but also pure. While it may look so shonen-ish, but there is more from the main protagonist action when he is always protecting his crew. As for the art, while not the best in the world, the author has done splendid jobs. The author is able to draw lots of character in every panels within one week. To add up, the art is also amazing, and it gets better (Compare the first volume with the newly out volume). Even the panelings are wonderfully well thought, making people get excited when every chapter has finished. Lastly, i would like to mention that the plot of one piece has actually been decided since the beginning of the series. While some things may be added or changed, the main plot will always still be the same. I can darely say that all the story, panels, flow, and dialogue, even in tiny bit, have been carefully thought by the author!

Death Note review
Alright, first let me say that, the manga is infinitely better than the anime. INFINITELY. But, with that being said, I believe the manga should have ended at chapter 58/59. After that, it's just a crapload of "yeah-right" and "ooookay" and "bullshit". Seriously, I hated the second half of the story. However, the first half was so ridiculously good, that I just couldn't give the manga a bad score.
With that being said, on to the details. Story Brilliant. I can't think of anything else that has even come close to something like this. Entertaining, smart, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. You'll want to read the chapter after chapter to find out what happens next. Art Looks good to me. Figures are drawn well and the females were good looking. Character By far, the best part of this show. The characters were...alive. You felt like you really "knew" the people. Almost like reading a book there was so much detail. There aren't any that follow a typical "stupid" or "cliche" trademark either. Thank god. Enjoyment Well, as I said, I didn't enjoy the second half of the story. After the first half, my enjoyment level plummeted. Read the second half, if only just to say you have. Overall Do yourself a favor and stop after chapter 57-59. You'll enjoy the manga a lot more and probably be happy with a well thought out ending (as opposed to the chapter 108 thrown together ending).

Overlord review
In the author's own words:
"The main character of the book is a skeletal mage, leading a large evil organization like the last boss of a game. I don't believe the main characters in novels and movies who rescue people without asking for anything in return. Readers who acknowledge that prioritizing yourself is the right mentality will enjoy this book. It's very direct." After reading it, he was right. Story + Character + Enjoyment - This series is in the view point of the invaders instead of the more common angle of the invaded. It takes heavy inspiration from d&d and other mythology and has a distinct "strategy + game" feeling to it. The protagonist of Overlord isn’t the type who only deals with the danger right before them, but one who will take the initiative to accomplish his goals and gain benefits for himself. Detailed descriptions and subtle future hints are abound but do not defer in the enjoyment even for a reader who does not like reading that much. The characters are all well characterized and developed even for those who do not have much screen time since the direct writing style really brings out the personalities in a clear and concise manner. Art - Beautifully drawn art by so-bin that fits the series and everything in it. Marvelous. Overall - 10/10 If is something to compare it to it would be Tolkien books. Truly a masterpiece in the making not just in novels but in all of literature.

Sumire Hakusho review
"I wanted to blossom discreetly. Not even once have I ever thought of showing myself in the sun, because I saw what becomes of the flowers of the dark seeking light, and I know with certainty that it doesn't suit me to be shined upon."
Sales assistant during the day and prostitute at night, Sumire Hayashi is a woman that has never known love in her life and is therefore unable to love anyone back. Cold and inexpressive, this doesn't prevent men from falling under her charm and she's aware of it. Her mother having lost her sanity and having committed suicide, desperate to see her husband ever again, Sumire is determined to never become like her and makes up a detailed contract where she sells herself in exchange for compensation ; for a single night or for a month, to a young man or to an old lady, she even accepts to become the mistress to married men… All that matters is that this way she will not have to be betrayed and she'll forget about her pathetic existence for a while, and maybe, maybe she'll have a slight idea of what it means to love, even for a limited amount of time. Chapters here see Sumire having a relationship with different men and trying to keep what she does outside of work secret as rumors are quick to be spread. The real problem in Sumire Hakusho is that it lacks a proper plot line or a main narrative drive, most of what happens doesn't really have any point to make as to women's status in society or in making the titular main character develop. I can admit some chapters help build a melancholic side by their vacuity and meaninglessness but half of the subplots are literally useless and could be cut off that it wouldn't change anything to the story. The subplots are forgettable and often rely on cheap bullying and violence without making any point just to make us feel bad about Sumire. The only meaningful relationship there is is the one she has with a blind shamisen player, the only person she will ever truly love and who will die soon after their meeting, but nothing happens after that to make it have an influence on the story. It doesn't even have any conclusion whatsoever and the lack of thematic depth makes it feel all the more worthless. It's also one of Kamimura's works where his art barely shines at all with the exception of a couple spreads and the chapter openers. That wouldn't have been a great flaw in itself because even without being showy, he can as well greatly picture emotions and the dilemma his characters go through. No, the big problem is how cartoony the whole thing looks, be it with its atrocious chara-designs and ill-bodied proportions of most of the side characters, but also with the cheesy type of humor that shouldn't even be here and ruin the mood whenever it occurs. Her fat friend from work who acts as the comic relief would be a prime example of a character that constantly acts disproportionately and is more annoying than she is funny. Sumire Hakusho had a promising beginning and could have been a great manga if only it knew what it was doing and presented more compelling ideas during its runtime. Finished as it is is, Sumire Hakusho stands amongst the weakest Kamimura titles and I can't decently recommend it.

Takayukashiki Shoujo review
When I first started reading this manga, I had my doubts about it, cause it was very similar to Doraemon, but after some chapters, its similarities will start disappearing.
The plot is a bit difficult to follow, but you get the hang of it when the author got where he wanted to go with the story. I had my doubts about the art at the beginning because it really wasn't the kind of style that I like, but I ended loving it. The character development barely exists, but that isn't a problem because the story is short enough to not have any. I really liked this manga overall, it obviously isn't a great anime, but it's a good one to spend an afternoon reading. Rating: Story: 5 Art: 9 Character: 3 Enjoyment: 9 Overall: 7

Bloody†Mary review
Although I only read Volume 1 (the rest were not available to me yet), the story seems good, but not outstanding... what is outstanding: this is a full-color manga! Every single page is rendered in bright colors, really helps to show off the blood, amongst other things.
I like this so far because the artwork is a real pleasure to look at, and the story is interesting enough to keep me going. There was not much time to develop depth but there was time to have action (fighting) and some nice H-scenes (which seamlessly fit in, this is not a hentai work or something done just for the sex, it is integral to the plot). It sorta reminds me of the TV series Torchwood... only, in manga form or course... Well, I will write a deeper review when more volumes are available to me.

Misumisou review
This manga was not bad, but it wasn't really all that good either. The setting seemed like a realistic small town, but it seemed like everybody in it was a violent psychopath. It seemed like this was supposed to be a message about bullying, but the middle school-age bullies are so cartoonishly evil that it's impossible to take the story very seriously. On top of that, (pardon the probable spoilers) the only villainous characters that ever show anything even remotely sympathetic or even human do so shortly before or as they die.
The other reason this doesn't really work as a message about bullying is because most of the characters that are victims of abuse are just as bad, if not worse, than the abusers. I'm not even sure what the thing with the teacher toward the end was about, since it didn't actually factor into the story in any way and just seemed like trying to fill page space. Aside from that, the story did accomplish the goal of making the main character and her family sympathetic, even if the author had to go to insane lengths to justify what ends up happening. Despite that, I still ended up feeling bad about enjoying the later action, because I couldn't shake the feeling that on some level, this story was just the author's excuse to show children mutilating each other and the message about bullying was just a vehicle to make it a bit more palatable.

Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka review
Overall, I found the manga to be very solid and much more satisfying then the Anime. The story is pretty straightforward and primarily focuses on romance. It's basically your typical love triangle manga with the necessary twists, HOWEVER, it's not as twisted as the anime.
Considering it was only 11 chapters long, I was pleasantly surprised that the manga ended the way it did. Unlike the anime, the manga will not pull the rug from under your feet. I don't want to drop anymore hints, but I will say this though, if you didn't like the way the anime ended, you will probably like the way the Manga ended. To be more specific, you will either like it or hate it depending on whether you're on team Yuuhi or team Minato. If there was no Anime and it was just the manga, I would probably have the overall score somewhere around 8 or 7, but I have to give it a solid 9 due to the fact that I HATED the way the anime ended while I liked the direction the manga went.

Shooting Star Bebop: Cowboy Bebop review
I'm a big fan of the Cowboy Bebop anime series, I've seen it numerous times. It's a classic for sure so I thought I'd check out the manga adaptation.
Story 4/10 First thing is that this manga is a reboot and has different storylines for all the characters. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if the manga actually had a story at all. The anime was mostly episodic but had the main plotline of Spike, Julia and Vicious. This manga tries to do something similar to that with the Scorpion storyline but falls very short. I didn't find the story very interesting and was often bored. Art 8/10 The best part about this series was the artwork. It had nice shoujo artwork. The characters were stylised in the artist's own style which was nice. Character 5/10 The characters don't really stand out from each other. Spike isn't the cool guy he was in the anime, Ed is annoying instead of funny like she was in the anime, Jet isn't the cranky cool guy and Faye is hardly in it. I don't remember what the antagonists were like since they barely mattered. Enjoyment 4/10 I often got bored. The manga just didn't feel like Cowboy Bebop. It felt like a generic space story with a Cowboy Bebop skin. Of course, with no audio, it doesn't have that awesome musical punch that the series did. Maybe Cowboy Bebop just isn't mean to be a manga. Overall 6/10 I give it a boost for the art, which was cute and nice shoujo art. Otherwise, this is a forgettable title. Which is a shame.
