One Piece review
I'm very sorry to have put 5 to probably one of the biggest cornerstone of shonen history, these are my motivations tho

One Piece starts off as one of the greatest shonen ever written, the characters are good even if cliches and the story stretches over tens of volumes and kilometers in a pirate world where the greatest thing to be found it's not the one piece but the freedom for yourself and your friends and companions.

One Piece stays great for very long arguably it stays very important even after the time skip (let's say that Rufy challenging Big Mom in Fisherman Island it's a great ending of the good part of the manga), it is very well drawn in the beginning at least concerning the page layout and how the visual narration take place (in the beginning some of the fighting may resemble Toriyama's awesome fighting in the first volumes of DragonBall).

the first part of One Piece it's probably a 10 not because it's the best written manga over there but it sure is an emotional well thought and incredibly important one, the second part of One Piece is probably a 1 that's why i put the 5 star rating, now i'll (very shortly) talk about what's wrong with these new chapters.

Oda seems to have completely forgotten of what made the first part good, he can't draw anymore, he relies on splash pages where something big happens and he just fills them with close shots of the characters usually reacting to this event, he tries to fool the reader with fake deaths and repent in like 2 chapters where the character involved is still fresh and strong, no drama anymore, at least no real drama, only pathetic one like the social and political background of let's say Dressrosa or Wano, nothing comparable to Nami's background story or Sanji or the first meeting with Zoro, or let's say the time he rescues Nico Robin. Not only this he also tries to slow down a manga that has already reached almost 1000 chapters adding useless and shitty chapters no one cares about on maybe some secondary characters doing nothing. He still is able to do something good (the mini saga of the reverie or the flashback with Gol D. Roger) but he just cares in stretching the bore out of us.

I don't know what happened if it's an editorial choice based on the sales of the manga or if he doesn't want to let go a great opera that's going around for years but please Oda let's take us back to the freer man in the whole see and to that promise between Ace, Rufy and Sabo

Death Note review
Fu*k yeah!!!
I want to make love with this manga's collection. I want smothered it all my love.

Reading this make me feel like riding a jetpack while having double miniguns and fu*ked all the dinosaurs into extinction by time machine.

It's so good, I feel like I was frolicking at the back of a hairy polar bear while riding a unicorn while watching godzilla and some random monster from ultraman fighting each other.

I know it's a little bit late of reviewing this but I have to do it in honour of this masterpiece written by some genius mind of some japanese dude.

I even suspect that that the writer was drinking a shiny tear of bald eagle while writing the manga.

Ok, let's cut to the chase.. the Review.
The story is undoubttly have any plotholes (for me, I don't know if any Death Note fans out there have any). Every action, event and path for the storyline in the manga is just good and make sense in any way or another.
They don't have boring storyline at all, they just kept us entertained and suspensed railing on for waiting the next chapter.

It's a story about an excellent student, Yagami Light that really have a remarkable sense of strong justice run through his veins. Well, wait 'till you see when he possessed the Death Note, he went from Genius to batshit insane of a mad murderer.

Of course, what comes around goes around.. here comes the Detective infamous of it quirks and child-like behaviour,L.
Of course, the clash of minds begin and the odds one will be eliminated.


****MAJOR SPOILERS******
L IS DEAD! RAMMED BY A CARGO FULL OF CANDY!!
************************

As for the continuation. another Detective by the heir of L himself.. N and M ,Mello. The stories went a little bit of confusing but you can pretty much catch it up all the way~

That's for the storyline, other than that I can't reveal anymore. I know putting spoilers are ridiculous because this manga is considered fossil by today's date, but have a respect for the new reader that never enlightened to read this manga on how good it is.

The art is a little bit different from any typical manga you ever read. Because they keep it realistic and seriousness. Of course, even I would've crap this manga if they done any MOE stuff in it.

The character are well DONE! They have the story portrays as a hardworking genius battles with a natural genius. Each character have it's own interesting attribute and design that we could differentiate one and another.
Their motives are clearly shown, their personality and others.

If you ask me, my favourite character would be L. Of course, it's highly typical with other Otakus out there.. but I like him because I can relate pretty much everything with him and little bit from N.
I'd say L is more smarter than N but with a little bit more of an initiative but in logic skills, N takes it all the way.

Overall.
It was great, I recommend everyone should read the manga alongside the BB case itself. Yes~ the Los Angeles Beyond Birthday case. Probably the most mind twisting and gore, but explains on how Wammy house operates itself.

Akatsuki no Yona review
The story start is kind of fast, so it's easy to get hooked. From the beginning there are things happening. Story in general has lot of potential but in my opinion has a lot of flaws. One of them are politics. Author's handling of politics is mediocre at best. Lot of things about politics of whole manga doesn't make sense. This is hard to explain without spoilers so I can't dwell on it too much, but let's say that pretty much everything from succession, laws, government type, political structure, general audience (people, officials etc) reaction to political affairs etc are done fairly poor. I do understand what kind of manga this is, and I understand that it is bound to dwell more into interpersonal relationships and drama, but politics are integral part of it (manga starts with politics) so I think author should've handled this one better. For example the manga starts with coup, one character kills the king, Yona isn't the heir (but she is?), her husband is supposedly next king (well what kind of succession is that), she is chased from castle, the usurper proclaims himself a new king, gets coronated really fast, and you know what? No one gives a damn. Is it so easy to usurp the throne in this country? Beside all that, usurper (if succession was a common primogeniture) was supposed to be the next heir in the first place, since apparently succession isn't absolute primogeniture since Yona isn't heir (but still maybe she is?).

I also do not like character development of certain characters. Main character kind of start getting some major development, which then starts to diminish and author kind of neglects it for the sake of some other things. While on the other hand, some characters get some, let's call it 'undeserved' and 'unrealistic' development because of the way story is build up (which has some major flaws. I do not like the way author handles intepersonal stuff. Especially since latest chapter when Yona comes back to her home and is seeing her father's murderer always, but author makes it way too sympathetic toward the murdered to the point you can't help but feel bad for the whole plot up until latest arc. Main love is also too cringy even for teenage characters. Author builds their relationship in every other chapter, but doesn't build it at the same time, and kind of puts it on hold just to make people wait for them to start getting some "free time" again.

Beside that, I think that storytelling is also fairly mediocre. Story is interesting in beginning, and all the way to the a bit more than half of the manga, but then starts lacking. One of the reasons are repeatable situations in which main characters get themselves into. After that, actions of main characters later on kind of do not make sense, especially since the start of the latest arc. Author relies too much on interpersonal feeling, relationships, dram etc rather than making sense in many other essential parts of the whole plot. Author creates some mysterious things from past and makes people wait for their revelations, and also makes some interpersonal stuff that makes people wait for next chapters, but fails to make sense in other plot stuff (many other plot stuff).

It was hard to explain this without spoiling too much but I kind of tried. It would've been easier and you would understand my points better if I spoiled some more stuff, but whatever. In general, story can be enjoyable if you're mostly interested in interpersonal feelings, drama, relationships between characters etc and not care all that much if author makes sense of certain aspects of plot.

Samurai 8: Hachimaru Den review
This is a cursory review through chapter 5. The series is very young but there are already some glaring issues.

The positive is that it's a shonen manga written by veteran Masashi Kishimoto with art by Atsushi Ookubo, who does a good job emulating Kishi's art style. The fundamentals are there.

The story so far has potential but where exactly it's going is a mystery. Naruto wanted to be Hokage, Hachimaru wants to be a samurai. The difference is Hachimaru becomes a samurai right out the gate in chapter 1, so where to next? That said, I'm rating a 6 because what we are seeing is going largely unexplained, which wouldn't be so bad but there is already so much being thrown at you that it just makes you think "What is even going on here?"

Related to my story gripes, I'm rating the art an 8 because the art is great, but is very busy, makes heavy use of white, and action sequences add to that feeling of "What is even going on here?" Someone says "Here's my attack!" then there's a couple panels of gobbledigook followed by the end result.

The characters are typical shonen characters. So far, the only ones of substance are MC Hachimaru (typical shonen protag) and his dad (knows more than he lets on). There's also a mentor character but they've yet to be fleshed out.

All in all, this series has legs, they're just the legs of a newborn deer. Coming from someone who wrote such a sprawling story in Naruto, I'd have expected more, but it's not bad enough to tap out before seeing a little more.

Baka to Boing review
tl;dr: A manga with amazing art with a story that starts out pretty well but falls apart horribly.

This manga was interesting for the first half or so when it was focused on both of them just helping spirits move on. The premise is interesting and though stories for the spirits were a bit too slowly paced, they were interesting enough so I would say it’s a concept pretty well executed. Character and relationship development of the main couple was pretty slow, but it was moving along and I was getting invested in it. The more long-term side characters introduced with these stories were interesting as well. The comedy was also pretty good. About two thirds of the way through it dropped this concept of helping spirits completely in a way that made it feel a lot like everything up to that point was pointless. But the bigger problem is that the new plot line was messy to the point of being bad. The plot completely loses cohesiveness and makes no sense because the rules are pretty much arbitrary. It focuses only on the two main characters, thereby throwing out the good job it had done with side characters so far, but doesn’t particularly do a good job with them either and though their relationship did advance, it didn’t feel like that advancement was substantiated and hence didn’t have that much impact. It goes in a random direction without it being clear what exactly it’s trying to do up until the ending, at which point it provides an incredibly unsatisfying ending that leaves a bitter aftertaste. One thing this manga does have going for it from beginning to end though, is that the art is amazingly good and really nice to look at.
