[Spoiler Warning]

Go to another world stories are easy to write, it is an undead horse that will keep having people ride it, hit it, mock it, praise it. At this point even "subversions" have become its own cliche.

So anyway, Re:zero, a show that is pretty bad, which was basically torture porn for 2-cour. A lot of people already shat on the anime so I may as well do it for the source.

At the time of writing, I have finished all the LN and gotten into the next arc of the WN, and ohhhhhhhhhh god is it horrible.

Plot - 3

First of all, the writing is terrible and no it is not the translation's fault, the actual writing is bad, as it is hard to keep track of what the scenario the author is describing. It is very bland, descriptions lack the whimsical charm of LN but are not artistic enough to be taken seriously. In addition the pacing is atrocious. Three arcs in and around 10 theoretical vols, we still have no idea what's the story behind this world or get any progress in the king election. In fact the story introduce a bunch of witches who explains...roughly nothing important, and serves only to provide more mystery.

And that is what Re:zero is, it is a dumb mystery that is really generic if they just explain it straight to you. In fact 3 arcs in, the main plot could be explained pretty much as "yandere girl (probably Emilia as a twist) likes scum, so fuck up world for scum, probably due to time travel or something."

And there is no funny plot or hijinks or anything interesting besides the shitty mystery and torture porn.

Character - 2

Oh boy Subaru, fan boys defend him for being "super realistic teen" and all that garbage. But then you find out he is the chosen one, oh yes, turns out the book that the witch cult have prophesies his action or something like that. And he have high compatibility with witch powers, what ever that is.

Did I also mention the witch did all the crap for him to make him feel better about himself?

Yeah, excuse me for not sympathizing with a scummy whiner whose the source of the problem!

Oh yeah, and his whining never get better, in arc 3, he had a talk with his father in a dream illusion. And you would think he is now a changed man as his father says he is proud of him. Nope, next few chapters he is sprouting hate speech at the twin tail loli from the mansion for saving him, being a vile scum once more. This isn't realism, this is an edgy teen with bipolar disorder. And you know what the author rubs it in by saying, he meant to create such a scummy character and it was quote on quote a deconstruction and criticism. I don't think making a straw man counts as criticism, as much as I hate these go to another world story, few of them sink to the despicable low of Subaru, at this point you are no longer making a deconstruction but a hate fic. Not helped that Subaru suffers or succeeds on a whim, when he fails it is because a random bullshit pop up, like the rabbit monsters in arc 3, when he succeeds it is through luck because a character suddenly does exposition for him telling him literally what he needs to do next.

Yeah fuck Subaru, as for the other characters, they don't get much spotlight cause this is Subaru's story so we are stuck with this asshole forever.

Overall - 3

This novel is garbage, whether in WN or LN format. There are ways to have a scum MC, if you are tongue in cheek about it and satirizes it. But that is not what this is doing, this is having torture porn and scum MC while being 100% serious, resulting in everything being unlikable and characters acting like they are complete morons.

Friends-eater classroom is a complete mess of a manga. I would not recommend reading this at all. If you want to read it just because there are some gore scenes, skip it. There are other gore mangas that do it a lot better.

Story: 2/10
I was actually surprised to see that the manga subverted some expectations and had some twists to the usual clichés of the genre. I would have loved it a lot if the execution wasn't that atrocious. The manga suffers from a weird pacing issue: even as the game progresses, you can't really sense a "progression" in the story. Characters behave the same way in game 15 as they did in game 3.

Art: 6/10
The artist does a decent job, but that's all there is to it. Characters have a pretty generic look and the gore is ok.

Character: 1/10
Jesus christ this is bad. This is really bad. A student sees another student that they really like dying right in front of them and they're a-ok in the next day. The characters feel so unrealistic that it alienates us the readers quite a lot.

Enjoyment: 3/10
Eh, it could be worse.

Overall: 3/10
I definitely don't recommend it. Skip this one.

This manga could have been good, But it wasn't
This manga could have been all right, But it wasn't
This manga could have been mindless fun, But no where near that

I usually don't get emotional with media like this ( Except Maou no Hajimekata that piece of shit) But this is one of those exceptions where for this one made me mad for some reason i don't know. One of the reasons why is cause i hate wasted potential.

This could have been a fun or good manga but i when i got around chapter Two i started getting my doubts and around chapter Six is where it all falls apart.
~~ SPOILERS~~
I'll be focusing on the parts that annoyed me the most.


So it's all basic at first but then all these dumb and unneeded things happening. Random scenes that serve no purpose to the plot, Cliche characters and very awkward scenes with rape almost happening that makes David Cage blush. There is also a dad that wants to bang his daughter.

But none of that is compares to later. We have an MC who wants to get back into his body. All right that's fine and is what one would expect from a story like this. But then all through out he is doing this idiotic crap such as going against the Spirit Monk helping him advise and doing things one wouldn't do as a girl, Being a general douche bag and even going back into the females body when he has a chance to go back into his. It wasn't to save anyone or anything he just decided to go back into the Females body and still say how he wants to get back into his body.

Chapter Six we have the worst weird bit of them all. So he ended up telling his friend the truth of what happen after him finding her almost get raped by the MC's male body that had a spirit put into it. Later when the MC and his best friend go and visits the comatosed body in the hospital. They are able to switch the MC's spirit back into his original (This is something else stupid but wont get into it ) The friend then is going to tell the nurse he woke up but he ends up slipping and hitting his head and then his spirit is put into the Female body the MC has been in for most of the manga. This is not needed at all and for them to solve the only conflict in the entire story happening isn't a good idea. But this is also stupid because we are told that this is very rare and has never happen before... So the one person to have this happen to is also best friends with the person that is gonna be the second person to happen too ? Let alone the fact that it is the same body the MC has been in for the entire manga ? That alone is stupid but this entire development is even worse because the MC should have stayed being a girl for a couple of reasons but mostly the fact that this is the only time he is likable as a character. He is nothing but a douche bag for the rest of the story.

After the giant mess that is that scene we are then rushed through a bunch of crap happening so fast that it was hard to keep up. We are told that the MC ( Now in his original body) Is in a relationship with his best friend ( Now in the female body that the MC was in) This comes out of left field and his friend just agrees with it. Then a little later they are getting married.

That's all i'm gonna say about that part otherwise i'm gonna be here all day and frankly i doubt many people will have even searched up this manga let alone see this review and read all of it.

But the ending that ends at chapter 8 out of a 10 ( Was canceled) chapter story is completely dumb, Enough said. Now you might be thinking well if it ends at chapter 8 how can their be two more chapters. Well i'll tell you. It's a completely different story with the same plot and that fucking monk spirit. It is the same thing but instead it's a girl being put into a male body. The Monk doesn't even offer to help her he just said's either die or live in this body now. With the character of the first story he spent a shit tone of time helping him for no real reason. Now he isn't even giving her any help. There is also the fact that this happen to another person when we are told this has never happen before. I don't really know what else happen sense i just skimmed through the rest but the chick in the guys body goes and starts being feminine and trying to still date this guy she had a crush on. Mind you she is in the body of a 24 or 26 year old and she is now harassing this school boy.

~~Spoilers Over~~

This could have been good. Have the entire story be based on a man who died and is now in a female body and him having to deal with seeing everyone around him deal with his death or coma. Have him reflect on his past deeds and what he regrets. Get rid of the Spirit Monk and have the originals owner spirit be attached to the body still. So he is the only one who can see her but she can verbally interact with the guy in control of her body. Letting us see her reactions to her body doing things not normally done by her. Maybe have the FMC and MMC switch control of the bodies at random. Have this entire manga be about someone dealing with their death and how that has effect their family members and also themselves and have it be about a person not being able to fully interact with their family even though they are still alive. Have these two story work with each other showing how the chick learns that she could die any minute while being able to say goodbye to anyone. Have the MMC want to be able to comfort his family and be comforted by them but he can't. Have it be able a bitter-sweet drama showing how the deaths of people can affect others around them and making sure your at where you wanna be when you die. Have some comedy be in there too. By the end of it have the FMC be in control of the body and have the MMC in the FMC last position. Or something for a bitter sweet ending. Have the guys come to terms with his situation and have no regrets and let him pass on.

this one shot of inio asano will either make you think "damn this shit was a good one shot" or "what the fuck did i just read?"

the lack of context may upset you, but i believe this was written in a way to make the reader go with a certain scenario so the story can make sense to him, and that is great, because it opens many points of view on the story and keeps you glued to it through out the short read


I recommend this, infact, go read it right now. Would I consider it a masterpiece? fuck no, still worth it tho.

hi everyone,

Enjoyment - 8
its really intersting manga and Different from any other isekai manga thats why i enjoyed every chapter of it im dying for new chapters.
finally
excuse my poor english and i hope you try to read this manga

If you are intrigued by darker themes but when you actually encounter them in various works are unable to stomach the horror, this might just be the manga for you!
At a glance Dead tube appears to contain themes to satiate even the most disturbed reader, however in actuality none of the characters have sufficient depth to bring even the most disgusting scenes justice. Ultimately this completely undermines even the most grotesque imagery, and the emotional impact on the reader is therefore limited.
this could be excusable for our protagonists, as the premise does give premise for them being emotionless, however the supporting cast ultimately fails to do this manga justice.

Some of the things that made Bleach a great series for a short while was it's premise, world-building, and cast of characters. With the exception of the two protagonists that so far work really well together, this story has very little to support what they contribute to the whole of the series. And while Kubo is always going to have a knack for strong characterizations, there is too big of a flaw here with it's premise for an epic battle scene between witches and dragons to overcome. Let's begin with it's setting "Reverse London" (not entirely sure what it means still) the biggest symbol that serves as foundation for the construction of it's antagonists is the London coat of arms which consists of dragons. (Or, maybe ahem, flag of Gryffindor) It's such a hokey plot device compared to something mysterious like the Hogyoku which added an extra layer to the overarching story when Aizen uses it to create Arrancar

There is a very strange mix of modern technology introduced here as well that doesn't seem to fit at all with the tone of the series where we are given little to no backstory on Ninny.

It seems to only serve as a distraction for the more interesting questions about the enchanting and otherworldly aspects. The "Soul Society" in Bleach is a beautiful departure from the stereotypical Death God setting whereas "Reverse London" is, I guess, sort of like London, but not really.

Our main character Yuuya Kamigasaki is a seemingly normal high school student, however he is also known to have the tendency to open unlocked doors and drawers. It is no surprise that one day he is told that he will reincarnate into another world as a hero. Don't all RPG heroes open every door, drawer and chest etc to get all the loot? And so the princess from another world tell him he can reincarnate in another world as a hero. Sounds cool right?

However there is a twist and spoilers ahead. (Spoiler is only for until Chapter 3)

What she didn't tell him is that he needs to die; It's reincarnation after all, how can you reincarnate when you are still alive and well on Earth? And so in an epic twist the princess is trying to get him killed to be reborn in another world. As the chaos ensues the demon lord comes over as well, for the purpose of protecting Yuuya Kamigasaki from dying and preventing him from reincarnating. Suddenly the good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys.

Oh, there is also a childhood friend involved and a lot of plot.

This is my first review, so please bear with me if it's kind of bad.

This Manga could go either way for the reader really, it had quite a bit of potential and could have went further if it had a little more support. It is a shame that it didn't, Zombie powder had an interesting story and plot line, the story of the Rings of the Dead and the Zombie Powder is rarely something seen in Manga making its story more original than most, along with good action scenes excellent fight sequences and some bizarre moves, and plot twists, it's more than enough to keep someone interested.

The artwork was good and clean with attention to detail, there was isn't a scene where to much there is to much happening in one image that could be eye distracting for the reader. Good character art, loved the main character Gamma's hair do. The only real downside is that it could be considered somewhat simple.

The characters of the story, are fairly well balanced and developed, each have their strengths and weaknesses, and can take care of themselves during a battle without relying on the main character to help them out all the time, compare it to the Bleach Soul Society arc, Ichigo being the strongest of the group, was depended on the most , this annoys me in Manga's when most of the main cast are dependent on the main character, it lowers the value of the characters till later on in the series (clearly evident in Bleach).

The main character Gamma along with his partner/friend CT Smith provide the major fighting power for the group and action scenes for the story, Gamma providing comical humour usually more present in his actions whereas CT Smith provides more sarcastic, subtle and somewhat mocking humour to balance it out. Gamma being the swordsman uses a wide variety of techniques and battle skill easily over powering the majority of enemies (with some techniques vaguely reminiscent of Ichigo's techniques), CT Smith provides marksmanship with incredible skill seen shooting out the pins of the wheels of a moving train without missing a shot. These two provide the main force and best battle scenes of the story.

The setting for the story is in a somewhat futuristic/sci-fi western universe, with guns, outlaws, bandits,etc, has a slightly more original setting and is similar to the Trigun series setting.

Overall, if your a fan of Bleach, then you should enjoy Zombie Powder (since it was done by the same Mangaka Tite Kubo), or at least give it a look. The story, characters and action scenes are great and it gave me a good laugh. My only problem is that it ended to abruptly and was left with that unfinished feeling, so for that i would give a 7 overall, i would like to have given it a 7.5 but that score isn't there, and if lasted longer and finished off without leaving such an open ending i would have probably given it an 8 or 9.

Still worth a read anyway.

Desire Climax is a Shoujo, Smut, Romance, Drama manga that initially feels like all the typical smutty manga I have encountered but it ends up having a remarkably in-depth story. It’s a shame that the story becomes really messed up, later on.

Mio Omori is a high school girl who’s supporting her destitute family but her current job barely covers the basic living expenses. In need of some money, she receives the offer of being the maid for her extremely rich landlord however the son (Shoei Jinnai) happens to have an ulterior motive to her working there. In the beginning I was like “what the heck!” as the set-up just seemed rather cliché and unrealistic. However what initially felt like a simple ‘hates him but falls in love with him’ story actually developed into something more, with some dramatic plot twists and surprising developments.

Just like how the story develops into something remarkable, so do the characters. Unlike the usual dim-witted shoujo heroines, Mio is a caring, capable girl and sadly she can be a little easy to take advantage of; on the other hand Shoei (a.k.a. Prince Junnai) is still the typical two-faced guy that only shows his true self towards our heroine. However these two happen to have a troubled past together, which is what makes the romance between them fascinating. As for the supporting characters, they do a good job in actually supporting the story, by making their own mark and being the source of some surprises.

What also does a good job in supporting the story is the artwork for this manga, which can be described as exquisite. The individual characters look well-drawn, with nice defined features and you can tell that the mangaka put some effort into them, as well as the background environment.

Overall Desire Climax, started off as an interesting shoujo manga with some elements of comedy scattered throughout. Not to forget this is mostly a dramatic romance, with an unnecessary amount of randomly placed smutty moments. Though halfway through, matters become far too complicated, as the story goes off on tangent moving unto some ridiculous matters (e.g. love affairs). Knowing this, it’s really just about asking yourself; whether this is the type of shoujo manga you’re looking for.

*Be warned, there's A LOT of sexual content.*
