Hiruko review
You reader of Poe no Ichizoku or Kazeki, you know bishōnen, you love bishōnen right?
Bishōnen are beautiful, they are gorgeous, they are frail, they are sensitive, they are androgynous, they are sexy… But the one in that manga is also creepy, really creepy, and even more than that. Hiruko is an horror one-shot manga from Ryōko Yamagishi, one of the core-members of the Forty-Niners and well known for being the mother of the modern yuri genre. As it is a one-shot, I won't say more about its story than what I said above, because otherwise it will spoil everything. Although I can say I really liked the building, the tension, and the uncertainty about what it is really happening. Also the ending of the manga might seem quite abrupt at first, even a little frustrating, but after some reflexions I do think that it was the best time for stopping it. One more page, and everything will probably be ruined by some revelation that'll reduce the tension, at best. At worse, it would overkill the manga.

Zashiki Onna review
Great especially around Halloween to get in the creepy spirit. The manga is basically a campfire ghost story extended to an 11 chapter manga. It delivers what it promises, a quick and sweet scary story that you can finish in a day. Don't expect any deep resolutions at the end or explanations for motives because that is not the point of scary campfire stories anyway -it's meant to be a little mysterious - and I think you will enjoy it.
Think of it as an episode of Goosebumps or Are you Afraid of the Dark or Tales from the Crypt. I liked it a lot and will be sure to remember it as another scary story to tell during the Halloween season.

Pumpkin Night review
This manga has been really popular on instagram so i thought i would check it out. I was kind of disappointed because the art was great and i would've thought this would've been at least a volume. The story wasn't really fleshed out across the manga and we barely got to know the characters, although the cliffhanger gave a slight bit of interest and i could only hope that it might be a bit longer but unfortunately that probably will not happen. Basically if you're looking for a manga with barely any backstory and barely any info on the characters that is mostly full of
gore you have came to the right place. For me I kind of enjoyed this manga for a quick read any nothing more.

Girlfriend review
I think, this series show why teenagers or not mentally adult people shouldn't play with sex. And that sex isn't way to show or perceive a love. It can be fun but it's not enough to fill the heart's content.
But for those who can understand this moral there not necessity to read Girlfriend. Though, even if it has few sweet moments, mostly it was sad for me to read. It's a shame that parents wasn't guide their children through puberty and didn't explain them what real the love is. So that children was pushed on the painful way of raising experience by method of efforts and mistakes. And yes, they got experience, some of them understood their feelings but... they never could again start relationship with someone as pure, innocent human being....

Finlandia: Santa Yousei Gakkou review
Finlandia is a light-hearted and sweet story of a Japanese girl gone mad about Christmas and Santa Claus. The story is only short and the length of two volumes gives it just enough time to get to know the characters a little from the outside. It's a little different with being set in Finland, a country not so well known especially in the manga industry. The Christmas theme adds a little personality, but that's about all it has to it. The story overall is pretty simple, the characters are shallow and the only things to enjoy about it is the humor, which can probably only
be understood by Finnish people themselves. The art is also pretty mediocre and there's nothing much memorable or different about this. The extra story, Vinculum, that was published with the first volume, is more interesting than the main story.
Therefore I can't really recommend this story to anyone else expect Finnish people and those who are interested in our culture or Christmas in general. It's fairly enjoyable to those, but not really for anyone else. I'll probably enjoy reading it through next Christmas too, but it's not something I'd get out while laying on a warm summers day.

Frogman review
tl;dr: A manga that was a pretty random mess in terms of plot and characters but was reasonably amusing nevertheless.
This manga was all over the place. In the beginning it seemed to be kind of focused around Michiru trying to learn to swim with a bit of a pretty generic love triangle in the background with some characters that may have had potential. As it went on however, it became a mess with lots of random tone shifts as well the plot starting in a bunch of different directions but never actually going anywhere with a bunch of hints at plot threads that never materialized and a bunch of plots that begin but mysteriously disappear from chapter to chapter, all of this ultimately leading to suddenly there being relationship development but in a really undefined and unclear way leading to a really random and completely lacking impact ending. And of course, being such a mess, it was pretty hard to care about the characters all that much either. Still, going in a bunch of random directions made it feel like it was moving pretty fast even if it never went anywhere so it felt reasonably interesting overall, and the humor was pretty solid all the way through so it was at least somewhat enjoyable throughout, even if it was trying to take itself too seriously. The art style was also pretty good, and at certain shots like covers and such it looked really good, but unfortunately the average level of quality throughout wasn't that great.

Trap Heroine review
It was roughly around 19th century when great philosophers started questioning existentialism. The thought of a human being not as mere subject, but as an individual, a piece which builds the society as we know it now. Questions like:
What defines you? ; How should people live their lives? ; What is the meaning of life? ; and finally, Are traps gay? From the moment that question popped out, many-many masterminds of this world roamed their way on a journey of finding an answer. Countless attempts of seeking the truth to this thought-provoking question, stimulating them more and more. Sleepless nights, many have fallen in this one-sided slaughter without getting a hint of the answer... Despair, deep angst hung on them, until now Why, you ask? Because a notorious event broke through all the doubts and revealed the answers upon them. And that event is the creation of manga "Trap Heroine". It has it all : the uneasiness ; is that thing down there really makes it cuter ; the truth that all these years was searched for The greatness. The genius. The heroism. If you seek the answers, then this manga is undoubtedly a must-read for you. Behold and enjoy

Boy Skirt review
Kinda sad that this is going to be my first review, but this is the first time an ending has pissed me off, so here we are.
If you've read something like Prunus Girl and want more of the same, don't read this steaming pile of garbage. It's basically the same premise except the author didn't have the spine to end the story on the note it had been building towards the entire time. Prunus Girl has had a steady trajectory the entire time and ended exactly like how it should have. Boy Skirt had the same before suddenly veering in the complete opposite direction right at the end. It's a complete waste of time. If you want cute traps just read any other trap manga. There's a lot of them out there. If you want something with a similar, no, the exact same premise, read Prunus Girl. If you want a fulfilling romance wherein two people who spend basically all of their time together and clearly like each other don't get together in the end for seemingly no reason other than "because they're both guys and that would be gay," it would be an even bigger waste of time for you. The only possible way I could recommend this is if you read until Chapter 12 and just pretend it ended there. Anything you imagine is a better ending than what the author had written. The art is sufficient, and the story up until then was fine and palatable.
