If you’re like me, you watched the anime and thought it was cool and decided to pick up the LN, then you have made the right choice. In my years as an otaku, I have read countless novels. And out of all of them, YouZitsu stands out as my favourite. It could even rank among the top 50 best books I’ve ever read, not just light novels. I do highly recommend reading from the beginning, because the anime mischaracterised Ayanokouji to an insane degree (although I guess at that time his character wasn’t very developed) and the Author really has a flair for narrative prose. This review will be pretty short since I’m not going to discuss the philosophy of this novel, and that’s where most of my opinions are.

Story and Prose : 9/10. Each story is crafted with a clear goal and solution, that isn’t so esoteric as to leave readers lost but still difficult enough to pose a challenge to understand. The reason I cut a point is that sometimes the pacing can be too slow, especially in the later chapters. This makes people want to skip pages. Apart from that, pretty much faultless. (Note: this is obviously in relation to other LNs, a translated work will naturally be inferior to something in its original language)

Art: 7/10. Nothing much to report. I like it, but there wasn’t really anything transcendent or stunning. It’s all just solid. 7/10.

Character: 10/10. You’ll just have to take my word for this. I’d have to go into spoilers to explain, and I don’t want to do that.

Enjoyment: 9.5/10. Apart from the aforementioned slow-paced bits, I don’t think anyone could have a bad time reading this. It’s intense, funny, light, dark, serious and terrifying, and it’s able to flip between them without the slightest bit of narrative whiplash.

Overall: 10/10. Without a doubt the best written LN I’ve read since spice and wolf. That’s no small praise. Read it, please. You’ll understand why the author was disappointed with the anime.

What this manga revolves around can simply be described in two words, wheelchair basketball -- but that surely does it as much justice as calling nights dark.

If you've seen the movie Murderball, then this series is a essentially and almost entirely just the manga format of what that documentary has to offer in terms of issues relating to people of the disability -- but from a Japanese perspective of course. As a side note, if you haven't seen Murderball then get off your ass and do so!

Takehiko's brilliance can be seen immediately in his art. It is his own and it is unquestionably excellent and recognizable -- my personal favorite among manga artists. What makes his work so superb and endearing are his characters. Upon reading any series of his, be it Slam Dunk!, Vagabond, or this one, the immediate impression of the characters is that they are just that, characters. They have very specific personalities and their mannerism and dialogues and all other aspects to them are very specific to them. An obvious observation yes, however, this does wonders in providing a certain realism and depth concerning the ability of the reader to relate and understand the scope of what the characters within Inoue's mangas, and do so with an incredible grasp of who and what the characters represent with a certain clarity that is in my opinion genius.

Every page, and even the ones with not a single word communicate vastly the experience and environment of the characters within them and the thoughts and minds of these common yet distinct people that you will have the gratifying experience of encountering in a manga.

Fun. Emotional. Endearing. Memorable.

Please, spare yourself and do not read this manga.

You might think there is something worthwhile here. The art is pretty good, and the premise seems interesting. The first few chapters seem like there might be something there.

But it's a trap. There is nothing of value in this manga. Stay away.

It was axed, so nothing is explained and the plot never comes to a resolution. Furthermore, every character except for the two mains is either a slut or a rapist, and the two leads spend remarkably little time interacting with each other.

So, most of the manga is spent with the main character brooding about the mysterious power he has received (which is never explained), wondering what he can and can't do with it (again, never explained), wondering who the girl is (never fully explained), or wondering what to do about all of the horrible people he finds himself surrounded by.

So if you want to read a dark, brooding seinen romance, go look up Ciguetera or Sundome or Nozoki Ana. If you want a seinen romance with some fantasy or mysticism, try Umi no Misaki or Ashita Doborou. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.

Parallel Paradise is what Okamoto Lynn is truly looking to pursue. Compared to her previous pretentious works Parallel Paradise is the best he has, if this were adapted
definitely would be the best Hentai in the industry.
Following the current tendency this is an Isekai so you can insert yourself and fulfill the adolescent sexual fantasy and be able to desecrate your waifus who also want to be desecrated. Read my comments below in more detail.

Plot: 3 = The first 60 chapters is decent but then it becomes mediocre due to the story jumps abrupt to fast forward destroying almost all the little logic it had.

Art: 6 = The backgrounds are copied from photos and the character design is quite generic

Characters: 3 = They are all stereotypes and if you have seen anime before you can already know what they are going to say.

Enjoy: 6 = I Enjoy the first half very much with how erotic and perverted this manga can be and also certain scenes that are ridiculously funny. But as I said earlier in the middle of the Manga much of the logic is destroyed and the plot falls a lot also affecting the erotic.

At first, I thought that this is just another normal Isekai.

Then… turns out… yes… this is just another bland Isekai which makes you realize that putting your finger(s) or **** in a glory hole is the most intimate action with the structure… wait what? [o.O] ok I did laugh a little since this is also a comical Isekai manga


Story: 6.5 (Living in the house= becoming the strongest in Isekai -> slowly creating a harem due to being the most powerful man in the Isekai just by being a hermit? :0 )
Art: 9 (not bad at all, but definitely not the top tier. The art definitely makes this manga enjoyable to read though)
Characters: 5 (the weakest category of this manga. The characters setup is simple and straightforward)
Enjoyment: 8 (did not use my brain at all… ok I lied… I kind of use my tiny male brain to read this manga… you will know what I mean :P)
Overall: 7 (just a normal yet forgettable Isekai manga)

I knew about Asatte no Houkou from the anime adaption when I was in middle school, and it was a pretty fine anime. Today I pick to read Asatte no Houkou manga version.

At first I was only going to take a glimpse of the manga because I already knew the ending from watching the anime. But I was surprised that the manga is a total different story. It still talk about wishing stone, but the story plot is totally different. I wonder why they change so much.

So I was curious and end up finishing it in one go. I must say the manga's story is way better, but just like the anime , the ending failed to make the story awesome. I was so hype but when I got to the last chapter, I was disappointed.

8/10 for the story, cause I still enjoy other chapters, except the last one.
9/10 for the art, I like that can of art style,
9/10 the character design is great and I like the story for each character
8/10 I enjoy at first but totally disappointed for the last chapter
8/10 OVERALL, gave the same rated as the anime, I still like it and would recommend to anyone that like romance with supernatural stuff.

This manga is a bit better than your average light novel adaption trash. I didn't know anything about this manga before I read it. Apparently there are different paths or something that the main character takes. This manga follows the Celia path.

The main problem with this manga is the story. The plot is all over the place. It starts with a dream sequence but then it turns out the dream actually happened in the past. It doesn't help that most of the girls look the same so you can't tell who is who. I thought this would be interesting because of the jousting but the jousting takes the backseat to the crappy romance plot. Of course, I didn't continue reading this for the plot. I continued reading it for the "plot".

The ecchi parts in this are your average fall-over on main character, guy grabs boob misunderstanding, up-skirt panty shot kind of thing. However, where this manga shines above most others in it's class is the nipples. These aren't the girly nipples you are used to seeing in anime and manga. These are women's nipples. They are puffy and big on the big breasted women, and more modest sized on the smaller girls. They are fantastic and are shown quite often in the manga.

The nipples and the very end of this manga are the only things that set this apart from other crap of the same genre. If you aren't interested in that then don't read it. The jousting part is usually skipped over; you see a flash of lances then the next scene begins. If you just want a quick read with a semi-satisfying ending and boobs, then I would read it.

Having watched the anime, and gotten some enjoyment out of it, I was pretty keen to get hold of the manga version - which was based on the anime (or game).

Sad to say, I was disappointed - as I usually am when the manga is produced after the anime.

Squashing 24 of anime related plot into 2 volumes is ill advised to say the least - the manga rushes from beginning to end so fast you nearly develop a severe case of whiplash. Apart from the two main protagonists, Nemu and Junichi, the rest of the characters are effectively side-lined, making no more than cameo appearances, if that.

Character development is zero, plot development is rushed and has gaps big enough to sail a tanker through.

If you're interested in the title - rather watch the anime.

Well ... at least the art-work is good ...

Kill la Kill is my favorite anime, it was one of the first anime I watched and it marked me strongly. I, all innocent, was excited to know that there was a manga version. I found it strange that there were only 3 volumes for a relatively long story, but I started reading without fear.

After finishing, i have to say, the adaptation of Kill la Kill for manga is one of the most poorly made adaptations in all possible aspects, in art, story, even the characters seem not to be the same.

Much has been lost in this adaptation, and that is only one of the main points. The development of many characters that were great, in the manga was lost, some barely presented themselves. They cut out many important anime events and made a disgusting and dishonest cliff hanger ending.

The comedy remained ok, the art is a little cartoonish which kept the comedy minimally fun, but the main factor of Kill la Kill, its action, is very poorly drawn, and it ends up that the main course of the work is transformed into a mediocre and emotionless fight. I mean, even the relations of the characters on the manga make the fights emotionless.

But definitely the worst thing of all is the ending, which is hurried and poorly structured, which just slaps you in the face and says it will not bring the good things from Kill la Kill for whatever reason. Simply cutting all the advances, plot twists, development and incredible events that the work provides.

If you want to consume Kill la Kill and enjoy all the goods that this work has, watch the anime without looking at the manga.

True beauty is honestly such a let-down. As a long time reader i'm super disappointed. True beauty started off as an amazing manhwa, it was interesting and kinda a new concept.

The art for true beauty isn't really anything to complain about, it can honestly be really pretty at times. The main complaint i have about True beauty is the repetitivity, as soon as the manhwa started gaining more and more fame it started going downhill. The creator pleased the boring newer fans instead of sticking with the original plot.

Love triangles are already annoying but i feel as though the creator has dragged this out, the same thing that happened with Lookism, another popular manhwa.

I started ready true beauty because of the interesting plot, romance, and the drama. Not a extremely repetitive story that reuses the same tropes over and over again.

I may be a little but harsh but i felt as though this manhwa needed some criticism.
