one piece is the story about journey. one piece story is the biggest story in anime because it is wold scale story, literally. it is bigger than Game of throne scale.

so journey to every side of this world that in control of one big organisation "world government". gain ally and facing so many great character. there is so many strong people and pirate that even rival the world government in the search of one great legendary treasure call onepiece.

overall, the story have everything, like super power, mermaid, zombie, robot, ninja, just imagine it, it is there. the politic is so deep, many sad moment, funny moment, bad ass battle, plot twist, everything along the journey. and the art is unique.

one piece has everything that long running series has fail to over, that why it is so popular and the fans keep coming.

To keep the review spoiler free as possible from both webtoon and light novel.

Story wise: its nothing new and it's not as good as to warrant a masterpiece, this is the classic zero to hero, although the mixture of fantasy and game-like system does work pretty well, which is why I really enjoyed it.

The art is extremely well done, kudos to the team who brought out the potential of action which is honestly the best quality of the serie.

Overall action is good and world building is decent, however character design is dumpster tier, so don't really get attached to characters since every single one but the MC is completely irrelevant and the story would work the exact same way without em. Also the character development is pretty much only reserved to the protagonist, which isn't bad per se, especially considering the title of the Manhwa but still makes it pretty dull.

TBH though it is a good read, the summoned shadows and the overall lore of the world makes it pretty darn easy to enjoy (once again kudos to the art). overall I would give it a 6/10

The Ending was awful so the my Overall Rating is far lower than what it was before it reached its conclusion. Without that Ending, I'd have given it a 9.

The story progressed rather naturally and, despite the failure that was its Ending, it's a series I'd recommend. The art was nice and consistent. The themes were good and the handling of being Deaf was far from stereotypical and disrespectful. The cast was nice too for the sake of the story.

There's really nothing to overly praise or overly criticize. Minus the Ending. That Ending was a travesty for such a well-done story. Didn't expect it to be as good as it was after that One-Shot, either.

Steel Ball Run is what I would consider the perfect manga.

Story.
The story of part 7 is such a massive improvement from that of the other parts, it's hard to believe it's by the same artist. The setting of a race kept the pace of the journey consistent, meaning none of it dragged, and none of it was rushed. The way the characters' goals change as they learn more about what is going on behind the scenes of the race is extremely interesting.

Art.
The art is not only masterful, but also hugely creative. The detail put even into minor panels is phenomenal, even compared to some of the manga known for their detail, such as vagabond. The way Araki uses perspective and angles is something I've never seen in manga before. The panelling and action makes it so easy to read, which is why I read the whole part so quickly. The coloured scans online enhance the art even further, to what I believe is the best art I have ever seen in manga. It is barely comparable to the previous parts, which were still fantastic.

Characters.
The cast of Steel Ball Run is a fraction of the size of the other parts, meaning we get to see much more in depth how and why they act, especially since their backstories are more plausible than, for example, Giorno's. This makes the story much more easy to invest in, as I was constantly worrying about how the protagonists would escape some situations.

Enjoyment.
My enjoyment was easily the most I have had out of any piece of fiction I have watched or read so far. The natural interactions, the occasional hilarious moments, a brilliant antagonist and much more all led to a fantastically immersive and emotional journey.

Overall.
Everything considered, it is no surprise I am giving Steel Ball Run a perfect score. There is genuinely nothing I can criticise about this masterpiece. If anyone is considering reading Steel Ball Run, I highly recommend you do. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is now, having read this part, undoubtedly one of the greats in manga history.

Singeki no Kyojin (SNK) AKA Attack on Titan's main appeal is its unsettling imagery, gore, and its insane plot twists. The twists and turns in the plot are what strap viewers into bingeing the roller coaster that is this series.

Story: 9, The story is, like I said, full of wild twists and turns. The anime starts by setting a really dreary tone about the harsh reality the characters face living in the fear and shadow of the titans, but, without spoiling too much, uses this pessimism to create one of the hypest plot twists I have ever experienced. Only one of these plot twists falls a bit on its face, but its at the beginning. There is a bit of an odd, convoluted overall mythology in the series that doesn't make a whole lot of sense at times, but its been getting clearer as the series goes on.

Art: 7, One of the reasons why author Isayama-sensei had such trouble getting SNK getting published in the first place is that his art style, although certainly passable, is not too great. The line work has quite a sketchy feel, which sometimes can add to the unsettling atmosphere of the story, but most of the time it can feel, for lack of a better word, sloppy. However, Isayama-sensei renders the faces and forms of the titans extremely well, and his style gives them an extremely unsettling air; it is with his human chacters, with whom we spend the most time, that get shorted because of the somewhat sketchy art.

Character: 10, SNK has an amazing cast of character. They're quite diverse and from all walks of life, varying in gender, sexuality, and background. SNK has a good amount strong female characters and there is almost no fan-service, which I personally enjoy. Isayama-sensei has said on twitter than he will not be confirming the sexuality of any characters, but there are a handful of LGBT characters nonetheless.

Enjoyment: 10, SNK gets you hype. Its characters, pacing (though a little wonky at times), and plot twists all contribute to make reading SNK a great experience. However, just to note, one critisim of the manga is that it can feel like 'imperialist propaganda'-- and to be honest, I don't really know what that means, but if you want to avoid things overly political, I think it's important for me to share. I still give it a 10 for enjoyment though.

Overall: 9

Bro this manga is just a straight up masterpiece,

The story: 10/10

I mean do I have to talk about the story lol, this is one of the few mangas where I actually get real into the story like most mangas have a bland story that I just force myself to finishing but this manga was different it had amazing storyline that you probably won’t see in most mangas nowadays since most of nowadays mangas are super repetitive. But this manga has decent romance (there was few romance scenes) good comedy and amazing emotional moments that will tear you up.

The characters development: 10/10

The characters development in this story are really amazing like in the beginning musashi has a blood intent in him but the more the story goes he started controlling his intent instead of being a savage beast lol he was always staying away from people at the beginning and never let his guard down for even a second.

The Art: 10/10

I don’t need to explain this.


Enjoyment: 10/10

This like one of the only mangas that I enjoyed the backstories like some other mangas will Have a boring bland back stories that you sleep while watching.

*Spoilers*

This manga started off very good and I couldn't put it down, but I felt it just went on too long. It should have ended around volume 7-8. The story arc with L vs. Kira was great, an almighty battle of wits between two geniuses. The next arc after L dies, with Mello and Near just seemed boring to me and diminished L's significance. I thought it was kind of lame that when L died there were a bunch of other kids from the orphanage that could just take his place. For this reason I even stopped reading and have this series on hold.

Also, there was SO MUCH exposition and explaining in this manga series. There is explaining of rules and explaining of theories and explaining of plans, it got very tiresome to read after a while. I found myself re-reading pages because I was confused.

Overall I would give this series an 8 because the art is fantastic, the story is very original, and I really enjoyed the first story arc. However, I will say that I don't think it is as amazing as people have built it up to be.

fullmetal alchemist is set in what would be a real world europe setting. its about 2 brothers who are i guess you could say "genius" alchemists for their age. their father is gone and its only their mother who passes away due to an illness, they try to use the alchemy they learned to bring her back to life but fail and in the process 1 brother loses his whole body as the other loses an arm and a leg but manages to use what he learned to bond his brothers soul to a suit of armor. the whole goal is the series is for them to correct their mistake and fix their bodies. there is a lot of friends and foes made in the proccess of their goal and they grow up maturing along the way, lots of laughs and tears and makes for an exiciting shonen like manga. there is a TON of action so dont worry about that. i highly suggest this as a starter manga

Monster is a puzzle that completes itself throughout the storyline. The author puts you in the place of the protagonist Dr. Tenma and questions the mysteries surrounding Johan Liebert that one by the way is one of the best constructed characters a work could have, Johan has a very complex and mysterious history. Which makes the reader join Tenma on this journey to unravel the twists and turns about the character, this leads to a plot with several questions and Plot twists, all well thought out and well developed.


However, it is not only that that makes Monster one of the best works ever produced, the secondary characters have their importance in the script so that you can link everything to an unexpected event, Urasawa Naoki is a genius in the field of psychology, he can create such a deep dystopian mind that it really impresses readers, following this line of reasoning throughout the work you will understand this mind that is a maze that has fallen into darkness making it a character with utter emptiness.

Monster is a work for those who like investigation and mystery with many questions and an interpretative ending that is magnificent at the same time.

"Look at me! Look at me! The monster inside of me has grown this big".

I'll try my best not to give any spoiler

Story 8/10
For someone who doesn't like historical story, honestly giving 8 out of 10 is really good. There is no confusing term or something that confuse me while reading it which happened to me sometimes with other manga. I am glad i picked this story although i have already consider wheter to reat it or not so many times.

Character 10/10
ALL OF THE CHARACTERS ARE INTERESTING. All of them have something to tell, something to convey, something to connect. Each characters have different personalities and it is interesting to see them interacting with each other. By what i mean all is ALL OF THEM. Yes, including water tribe general, general joo doh, general moon duk, general geuntae, even sided character like tetora, or captain gigan (I LOVE HER SO MUCH anyway lol).

Art 10/10
Well, it is good. The drawing can make you actually feel something. The rage, the conflicted expression that connect with the dialog. I just love it.

Enjoyment 10/10
It is to the point that i am obsessing about it lol. when will the next chap is up

Overall 10/10
Believe me, even if you don't like historical manga, try it. It might be your loss if you don't.

Despite being one of the highest rated novels on MAL, I must say I was pretty disappointed with this work as a whole.

At a first glance, the story appears complex in the ways it's mysteries unfold but in truth it's more convoluted and frustrating than anything. We have magic "boxes" that grant the wishes of people given to them but only to the extent that a person believes their wish can actually be granted. While this concept is interesting, it's rarely used in any sort of relevant way since all of the boxes can generally be divided into those that have real world consequences and those that don't. Overall the rules for boxes are fairly vague and it's often that vagueness that is taken advantage of in order to allow our main protagonists (Maria and Kazuki) to succeed in rather unsatisfying ways most of the time.

Speaking of protagonists, I really didn't like either of them very much. Kazuki has a fairly weak and meager personality and while he does get development it ends up feeling rather sudden and disturbing. Maria, on the other hand, has a more assertive personality and appears very intelligent but seems to fade into the background in most volumes beyond volume 1. I cared far more about the trio of side characters: Daiya, Kokone, and Haruaki and their backgrounds and stories than either of the main protagonists. I honestly would have rather read a story dedicated to just those three and just remove the two main protagonists entirely which is why volumes 5/6 are my most liked. If volume 7 had been remotely as enjoyable I may have been more willing to recommend this series, but, in all honestly, it was a very tangled and disappointing conclusion to the series.

There aren't any really deep or meaningful takeaways I had from this story and it's themes either which was particularly disappointing in a story that involves the granting of wishes from often times misguided humans. Absolutely none of the "antagonists"/box-users were unique in motivation or backstory and felt like rehashes of stereotypical villian backstories that, while sympathitic, are widely overused and cliche.

I don't think "The Zeroeth Maria" is a terrible or even bad story, it's okay, but considering the time and monetary consideration that goes into reading a light novel I would recommend you pass on reading this story.

Made in Abyss is one of the very few mangas that I have read in one go, mainly because it draws you into its world through the use of its unique art, story, and characters. One moment the story will show the reader how twisted and disturbing the abyss is and the next will leave you in awe of how beautiful and epic the abyss can appear in certain moments.
Even making a dangerous man-eating creature appear majestic at times.

In terms of world-building, it was a good choice to flesh out the abyss and the island it belongs to as beyond the island is not all that important when it comes to Reg and Riko's journey, though it has been talked about a few times throughout the story.
Speaking of beyond the island, Bondrewd an antagonist and a wanted man from another country has become one of my favorite antagonists of all time.
(Have been obsessed with him for quite a while after reading, though most people who've read the manga probably hate him #bondrewdbestdad)

Bondrewd is a man devoted to knowledge and will stop at nothing to pursue it, sacrificing people as a means of acquiring knowledge and has become so warped that he cannot see the wrong in his actions.
Along with Bondrewd, the main protagonists Reg and Riko are very likable, Riko is brave and knowledgeable but physically weak and reckless.
Reg is physically strong and cautious, but at times acts cowardly and is emotionally dependent on others.
And both characters develop throughout their encounters in the abyss overcoming their weaknesses both on their own and through supporting each other.

Story 10/10
It may seem like a basic set up for an adventure story, but has many surprising twists and turns in the story.
Especially after the point, they meet a character called Nanachi in the story and dive into the Bondrewd arc. Though it was already pretty surprising before that point anyway with how the curse of the abyss affects people when they descend and the things that were revealed about both Riko and her mother.
Art 9/10
The Art fits perfectly with this manga giving it a unique look fitting to the story and can transition from light-hearted to dark moments effectively.
I also love the design of each layer in the abyss, each having its own look and creature designs unique to that layer.
At times it was hard to make out what was going on in a scene, which wasn't that often for it to be a major hindrance.
Character 10/10
A lot of well designed and likable characters such as Ozen who has more depth to her than at first glance and is a major link to Riko's mother.
Nanachi is a later addition to the main cast, who is shy and distant at first but is found to be kind-hearted yet haunted by her past.
Then there are the characters from below the 6th layer that all have strange personalities and have mystery surrounding how they came to be.
Also, many of the inhabitants below the 6th layer believe in the importance of possessions, a little more than they should. (my favorite being Majikaja)
Enjoyment 10/10
As I said at the beginning couldn't stop reading until I had reached the current chapter and had to wait for the next.
Overall 10/10
A must-read for fans of fantasy manga, though don't be fooled by the cover, this is by no means a light-hearted read as it contains quite a few disturbing scenes and dark subjects. And the deeper they go into the abyss the darker it gets both literally and metaphorically.

Characters: You know the characters are great when the titular character doesn't show up for several chapters and the manga does not suffer from it one bit. We find ourselves rooting for villains such as Boros and especially Garou later on in the series, even dreading the main character's arrival because he would make quick work of them.

Art: Yusuke Murata creates masterpieces of artwork with every chapter. No one can claim that the art in One Punch Man is not a strong suit. I have never seen a manga artist convey action the way that this mangaka does.

Enjoyment: This series has been a consistently enjoyable part of my life since I picked it up 3 years ago. The artist makes the experience extra special by interacting with the community through his Twitter and regular live streams. Would recommend this to anybody regardless of age and preferences. Hype levels: Off the charts.

One of my top rated manga, it has an uncommon and interesting story, due to the mysterious vibes it gives off mostly because of the lack of background information. (There are many clues around the series which i personally think that they are currently in a post apocalyptic earth whose humans 'dissapeared')

Character
Although, the change of personality because of a traumatic experience is similar to other mangas such as Tokyo Ghoul. The main character of Houseki no Kuni whose name is Phos has a particular character development that differs from them. Maybe it is probably because of her/his lack of perception and the ways she/he tries to achieve her goals.

Overall
Aside from the character development and the unique story, I think this manga also provides a nice food for thought because of the philosophical chats about relationship, growth and others which I appreciate.
However, a negative aspect of this manga is the amount of time it takes to release a new chapter.[T_T]

"Today will be tomorrow's yesterday"

The time is set in future where rising sea level has flooded most of the costal areas. The story
of Alpha Hatseno, an Alpha 7 M2 series robot left by her owner at a countryside coffee shop,
she acts fully like a human being running the coffee shop named 'Cafe Alpha'. The story
surrounds Alpha as she is synchronizing with commoners in behind the backdrop of a
futuristic country-side Japan. The story begins with Alpha making a shopping trip to
Yokohama. Marionette and yet like an elegant woman Alpha's character is able to captivate the heart of most of the male readers.
About the manga in General, YKK is a 'mono no aware', a Japanese concept that awares us of
the transience of things and describes beauty. The fragrance of the country side and it's
transcending charm, sober warmth of long scooter ride through desolate streets, a coffee
shop in the country side with entertaining customers, the sober country people, scenes like
the setting sun and mysterious essence of the ocean gives it a color blooming atmosphere evoking overwhelming feelings of nostalgia, reminding us how time is fleeting.
Ashinano is one of those few mangaka who can make you feel the warmth through his
pages, the warmth as if a blurry reminiscence to those days when you were light headed and
comfortably numb, those days you still long for, a nostalgia drive. Very much unlike the
usual manga where you find string of events with cliches and other elements to stew it up.
This infact exhibits the traits of a country novel and short stories, with simple events and colloquial monologues. It is a piece that syncs with readers of all ages though only for
people with a certain desire for this warmth. Most amusing part is the characters, how
natural they are and able to blend through progressing events with just simple acts and that
again captivates the readers, it's as if the readers can relate them to their daily lives. To sum
it up YKK is as simple as amazing it is.
