Vagabond review
The artwork of Vagabond is simply outstanding. Inoue Takehiko understands exactly how to fully capture the reader in his brush strokes that change to an insane degree depending on in-story situation. I have never seen anything that comes even close in leading the eye along the gorgeous artwork. Even if you don't care at all about the characters or the story, the art alone would make it worthwhile to read this work. The in-story calligraphy is nothing to sneeze at either.
The story roughly follows Yoshikawa Eiji's take on the life of Miyamoto Musashi, undoubtedly one of the the greatest swordsmen to have ever lived. The depth of his understanding of fighting and the art of the sword still eludes droves of sword students today. Starting this manga, I had read Musashi's Go Rin No Sho and the original Yoshikawa Eiji book and I think this made the experience all that more enjoyable. Some of the decisions Musashi makes along the way are much easier to understand with the background knowledge gained from Yoshikawa's book and there's various throwbacks to philosophical understandings Musashi expounds upon in the Go Rin No Sho. Like Yoshikawa before him, Inoue takes various freedoms in timeline composition from what are the current best guesses about the life of the real, historical Musashi, but it's an action manga after all. If you see the characters as adapted from the Yoshikawa novel, then the level of adaptation is simply outstanding. They come across exactly like in the book, especially the three leads Musashi, Kojirō and Matahachi. Takuan, too, takes very well after the book character. If you haven't read the book, then the characters are still extremely well defined original characters, with clear goals, inhibited by human error and understanding, certainly utterly comprehensible in their life choices, whether your agree or not. If any manga deserves the designation "unrivaled under the heavens", it's certainly Vagabond.

Okusama wa Joshikousei review
What the fuck.
That was my reaction to every chapter I read. Okusama wa Joshikousei isn't really an outstanding manga. The story was ok, not really special and got very annoying rather fast. They could have stopped making the manga after ~chapter 50. The art was decent, not my favorite but that is a personal thing. Also there were a lot of boobs panty shots, so be prepared! The characters are flat, annoying and partly really weird. The only character I kind of liked was Kyousuke. Mizunosaki Sasuke was the most horrible of all. Oh my god. I can't describe how fucked up that kid is, I was so glad when he started appearing less. I'm not sure if I really enjoyed the manga. My overall reaction is stated above but I kept reading anyway. EDIT: I'm still reading it, the story got me a little bit hooked. Kyousuke was my favourite character but he fucked it up big time. It's just getting more dramatic and worse. Awful characters are added to the story and decent characters are ruining themselves. The main characters should just divorce and end this, their relationship is quite toxic. EDIT 2: I finally finished the manga and I'm glad that it's over. The story just got worse and worse and more awful characters were added, one even topped that kid Mizunosaki. The end fell flat for me. Even though I disliked reading the manga, it could have ended on a better note. After the climax they just went right back to their lives as if nothing happened and the pages before didn't mattered.

Mushihime review
Let me first say I had high hopes for this manga, because the art is truly beautiful, but sadly it falls into the category of horror mangas with great art and mediocre everything-else. It is enjoyable, but with that kind of art it could be great, and it's not.
Story: 4 The basic concept is actually alright, and it could be good. The problem is that after a while the manga is not about the story anymore, it's about the horror scenes. The pacing was kind of weird for me at times and the science of the whole thing is pretty silly, you can see it doesn't work like that even if you're not a scientist. They also tried to connect the story with japanese mythology at some point, but that fell flat too. For me the way the story was used felt very silly, and I cringed at times. Also, what's with that ending? Art: 9 This is the reason I kept reading this manga, the art is phenomenal. I don't need to say much about it, no problems there, top stuff. Characters: 5 Did the characters make sense? No. Did their motives make sense? Also no. Munakata maybe I get, she's half crazy, in pain, half-insect, ok. The rest of the crew is plain weird, except maybe the protagonist's friends. This is typical of horror mangas, the characters just don't make sense, but usually they try to explain their philosophy. The manga is a short one however, so I understand that there was no space for that. Enjoyment: 6-7 It was a fun read, and some scenes were breath-taking, if you want to kill some time it is a cool little horror manga. Overall: 6 If you enjoy monsters, violence and horror this is a good choice. However, if you expect a structured story and good characters this is not it.

Cheat Kusushi no Slow Life: Isekai ni Tsukurou Drugstore review
Disappointed in his corporate slave’s life and being unable to see anything enjoyable in the life overall, Kirio Reiji, one day, finds himself in the world that he has never seen before. However, this does not scare Reiji, he is glad to finally part with his old and monotonous life. Although, the only skills, Reiji acquires are appraisal and potion creation, which he later develops, Reiji manages to earn the respect of many people, whom he has helped. Now Reiji together with his companions open their own drugstore and their new life begins.
It is quite difficult to come up with something new to make an isekai story interesting and somewhat unique. Cheat Kusushi no Slow Life: Isekai ni Tsukurou Drugstore manages to do it: its protagonist does not acquire any superpowers and, of course, he is not immortal; he is just a simple young man. However, the two skills he gets are appraisal and potion creation, which immediately help him find a new companion, in the world he knows nothing about. While it might seem that there is nothing special in being able to create medicine, it will be wrong to think so. Reiji immediately wins recognition of the villagers and even opens his own drugstore, and so his new life begins. Honestly, this manga is quite good. It does not involve harems and fanservice is almost nonexistent in this manga, so the manga has everything to enjoy the story. While it is still a mystery, why Reiji is transported to another world, I do not see this piece of information needed. All that matters is that he is in a new world, Reiji tries to find out more about, he, together with his companions, start his own business and help people, and it is quite enjoyable to follow. Reiji meets many people, who ask him to create them from love potions to something that will scare wolves. And that is the whole story so far. All in all, quite an interesting manga. Those who like slice of life, this manga might be what you are looking for. Do not expect any epic action scenes, Cheat Kusushi no Slow Life: Isekai ni Tsukurou Drugstore is just a heartwarming slice of life that takes place in another world. By the way, it will get a TV anime.

KIMI NO AI DE MOTENASHITE review
Oh well what can i say about this one shot manga. First of all i like the story, yeah its something you kinda know what will happen at the end, but i really enjoy reading it. Who could imagine a guy working like a butler with a "fake personality", the character got his own personal reason for working at it. Later a girl meeting him working and then finding how he really is might be shocking!
I personally recommend it, i really enjoy it and well loved everything of it ^^ !

Renai Shijou Shugi review
The manga started out very good in my opinion. After reading a couple of chapters I thought this would turn out to be a very good story. But the manga soon takes a turn for the worse: it's very repetitive (always more or less the same things seem to get in between the main characters and they.just.don't.learn.) and overly dramatic. One could argue that most shoujo manga are overly dramatic or not realistic, but Ren-ai Shijo Shugi really stands out. Sadly, that's the only aspect where the manga is outstanding. The characters are mediocre, don't really develop and don't have any significent character trades.
The artwork is good and "typical shoujo". Last but not least: There's a lots and lots of smut, so anyone who's mainly looking for that should be quite happy with this series (you should be prepared for various rape scenarios, though).

Honomieru Shounen review
Still a very new manga, so far 17 chapters and 2 one-shots.
The story is very interesting and enjoyable even thought the story still building up to something, so far it's introducing the characters and a bit of action. I love the art style and how the demons/spirits looks so far, you can really see the dedication of the mangaka and omg I already have a new waifu (if you know you know LOL) I give an overall 8 because even though it doesn't have that many chapters, it's really interesting plot, can't wait to see how the story develops. (i'm bad a t english xoxo)

Esoragoto Note review
Esoragoto Note is a short, simple shoujo manga with a very, very tiny amount of romance. It tends to jump around a lot during the 5 chapters and ends with only one or two of about a handful of plot points being settled.
Story - 4/10 The manga has a fairly typical hospital setup. A girl named Ririko has spent most of her life in a hospital and wishes for nothing more than to be able to do the things she never could. She is friends with a boy named Ichiru and is taken care of by the new male nurse Toki and her doctor Hakase. The manga almost follows a slice of life style (if your life was spent in a hospital) and is about Ririko's different interactions with the guys around her and her dreams. Ririko has written down in a notebook many different things that she wants to do from carving 100 pumpkins to sunbathing to skydiving. When she finds out one day after being in the hospital for ten years that they have finally found a donor for her, Ririko is not really sure how to react. She might actually get a chance to do all of the things she has dreamed about for years (despite most of them being very childish). While this setup had potential, the story did a poor job of developing each plot point and ended up skipping to the next plot point too soon. Also, being only 5 chapters, the story does not really get a chance to develop very far. Art - 6/10 The characters are generally well drawn, but there was too many times when the characters were drawn as chibi (very short and small). It prevented the manga from ever developing much drama and really was not funny enough to help it comedically. One plot point of the manga is about how the female protagonist never or hardly ever smiles. While I understand it's part of the story, it still results in her hardly ever showing any emotion. She barely even shows negative ones as well and most of the time the guys aren't much better. Most of the emotion shown is irritation or happiness which is usually shown by making the characters chibi which I felt drew away from the emotion as I mentioned before (sorry I just really don't like overuse of chibi characters in anime and manga). Character - 4/10 The characters are simple and don't get much development due to the short story and multiple, jumbled plot points. Ririko's goals are nice and somewhat unique, but they don't go much into depth about any of them. The rest of the guys are fairly generic with all of them looking out for Ririko (in Ichiru's case Ririko is also looking out for him). They all have very, very small traces of romance of with Ririko but nothing ever happens with it. Not that it really needed the romance and it probably wouldn't have been any better with it anyway, but a little more development between the characters would have helped. Enjoyment - 4/10 It's a decent story about a girl trying to overcome her health problems and fulfill her dreams, but it just has a lot of problems along the way with its execution. The small, non-romantic harem consists of generic guys, Ririko is pretty boring, adn there is too much chibi in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this manga and would instead recommend checking out "Rec: Kimi ga Naita Hi" which is a much better short shoujo manga about a person with a crippling health condition.

Ultimate Antihero review
I would agree with others this is just average, to a bit above average. I cannot go into much detail as to not spoil anything and some may consider this so just note I would give it a 6. If you read the maybe spoiler and are okay with it then I would give it at least a 7, as it did mix things up and I did not see certain things coming. I read a lot so most things I see coming as they were already done by someone else.
*Maybe considered spoiler* The ending is not closed right. In fact it is left open ended. This ruined it for me to end with the same problems the world started with. If there was nothing that could be done then it is fine but that is not true. At the end of the book series all the knowledge on how to stop their issues is acquired by our main hero, and within there abilities even if it was over time. Even though there will not be another book written this one was not closed out even with such a good available. I problem solve for a living so I ruin books like this for myself a lot but this one was super easy to see the solution to. Which was sad because it did do a lot of things differently and mixed it up so much even sometimes I was ow man this is going weird places and I do not know if I like it but in the end it was different and I did enjoy the writing style
