NaNa review
Overall I think NANA’s main selling point is “realism” and that it’s a pretty realistic look at the Japanese music industry, though dramatized, of course. The characters feel like real people and the relationships, which are really an extension of the characters, almost never go in foreseeable directions. Some intriguing backstory has come to light and I'm in suspense on several fronts -- I really want to know whether things will turn out okay for these characters.
But at the end of the day, I think Ai Yazawa's Paradise Kiss is better, because it is tighter. Nana is full of drama and suspense and heartbreak and really messed up characters, but it tends to drag, especially in the later volumes.

Sentou Hakai Gakuen Dangerous review
I have very mixed feelings about this manga. This manga is incredibly stupid in every single way to the point it'll make you think it's a parody or something, however to me it never actually gave the impression that it was trying to be a parody. In all honesty it gave me the impression that it was trying to be a somewhat serious story but failed miserably at it. Do to this I have a very hard time trying to figure out what exactly this show is trying to be? If it's trying to be serious, it failed miserably to a laughable extent. If it
actually was trying to be a parody, then it still failed miserably by not making it clear what it was trying to be. It's kinda like Big Order in that aspect. This manga has all the potential of being a story that is so bad it's good exactly for that reason. If you liked those types of shows than I would recommend this manga, it's has a lot of trash humor, gore, sex, super powers and fights all done in the most ridiculous way imaginable making for an entertaining but very trashy read.
The story is practically nonexistent. As stated earlier it failed at displaying to the reader exactly what it was trying to be in the first couple of chapters as the more ridiculous stuff that happens occur a couple of chapters in the story. The story also tends to jump around a lot leading to a very confusing mess of what the hell is fucking happening. That and the fact that none of this really makes any sense kinda lend itself to the idea that it's a parody of some sort, this honestly just wasn't enough to convince me of that to be honest. The basis of this story is just a battle School type anime kinda like Kill La Kill but with more gore, general perversion, and overall stupidity which is kinda sad in a way that it is indeed more stupid in every category than Kill La Kill but at least that show made it clear from the beginning what it was. Art is pretty standard for a battle shounen type manga. This works pretty well for this manga as there are a lot of fights. There are a few specific panels that are actually above standard in quality but I could count that in one hand. The character designs are also pretty standard although I'll give special credit to the head of the yankee group that is from one of two major factions. His design is absurd with a noticeable difference in art style from any other character. This made him stand out very well and kinda matched the whole idea the manga was trying to go with him. Probably the best part of the art at least to me is specifically the panels of some of the more ridiculous elements of this manga and showing them to my friends. Taken out of context or even with context these panels are hilarious and I would recommend you to at least try to do the same if you plan to read this. Characters are a hot mess. Basically taken from the Bleach school of thought as in to introduce as many characters with cool powers as possible to distract from the fact that none of these characters develop. You'll only like one or two characters at most if your lucky and most of them are only there for a few chapters before they are killed off. You'll usually be more interested in the powers than the characters themselves sorry to say. Most of the time the characters are introduced to then use their powers and then die a couple of panels after. All characters are pretty expendable and it'll never shy away from the gore so if you are that type of person this might be your cup of tea. Some of the more notable characters in the show don't really get development either, like with one character most of her development was skipped after the fact and we only get small glimpses at this. Perhaps you have a higher tolerance for this type of shit so you may like this type of show dispite it really not being clear on what it's trying to be if you like really bad shows, perverted and gore shows and older fighting school anime or all at the same time. This wasn't for me but I still find reading it at least being a story of memes and lolz.

Spotted Flower review
If you are into harsh turns of events, then this manga might be something for you.. otherwise most likely not.
The story follows a lovey dovey married couple who are expecting a baby. It mostly focuses on the issue that the husband can't get excited over her anymore, which entails many funny situations of how his wife tries to change this. Nothing too dirty or oversexualized though. The couple is cute, characters have a nice chemistry together, it is a light read without requiring you to follow deep interactions or some complex storyline... if it wouldn't be for the (currently) final chapter, which simply throws everything over board. Said plot twist left me with a bitter taste about the entire story, so that alone already was a big minus for me. What troubled me the most though, was that (at least from what is shown about the characters so far) that turn of events felt completely out of place for me. Sure, a good plot twist should be unexpected, but it should not go completely against a characters behaviour up to that point, unless there would be a good reason to it.

Dead Tube review
I will not spend time writing 5-6 pages of review for this total malarkey.
This manga is horrible. The protagonist only enjoys filming murders and the female lead is the worst character to ever exist in this manga. This manga is way too edgy. Too much nudity, sex and gore are the pivotal elements of this ratshit. If you want to have a peaceful mind skip this manga. Just don't read it for sheer curiosity. I only read 6 chapters and man this was insanity at its pinnacle. TAKE MY ADVICE HAVE A PEACEFUL LIFE. ART: art is very good. Each gore scene is drawn with precision and patience. STORY: Terrible Enjoyment: If you are a fan of gore. This manga will be a fun ride and might be the best one you ever rode. OVERALL: As i am not a fan of gore. This manga was just malarkey to me. But if you are an aficionado of edgy manga you will surely enjoy this. In this manga humanity is infinitesimal but callousness, greed and animosity are exorbitant.

MAMOTTE AGEMASU review
This is a manga consisting of 3 one-shots. Overall, the stories did nothing for me.
The first one was about a strong, handsome delinquent who falls in love with an intelligent girl who was supposed to go to an elite High School but on the day of the entrance exam, she, unfortunately, got sick and therefore stayed home. After that she had to attend a horrible school for rather unintelligent people. One day, when she is supposedly being attacked, the guy saves her. And then they start to fall in love, blah blah blah blah blah. There was absolutely nothing original to it. More over, I don't even think it had a story line, and if it did, it was poorly executed. All I remember is that the guy got in a lot of fights and was the leader of some gang or whatever, but when he was around this one girl he blushed and acted like a little kid. I mean, I'm sure some people like that type of stuff, but I guess I wanted something deeper, or something not as cliché. The second one just kind of annoyed me. The heroine is at first crushing on the vice president because he 'saved her'. So she tries to get on the school council so that she could get close to him. But the president, the one who gets to decide who gets on the school council, ends up using the girl. For her to get on the school council, she has to be his assistant. Then he ends up pretty much demeaning her but somehow she ends up liking him. I'd like to think that no girl who has self-respect would let herself be treated like that... The last one was very cliché. A guy blackmails the protagonist into dating him for five days with pictures. And for some reason, the girl hates Christmas. I'm not really sure what that had to do with anything, but apparently the pictures used for blackmail were taken on that day. I really don't think thats a good reason for hating a day. And we all know that although the guy completely violates the girl, she's not going to stick up for herself but instead will fall in love with him. Stories: 4 It was decent. I can't say it's great, but I guess it wasn't completely, hopelessly awful. I kind of wanted to just drop it by the time I got to the last chapter, but I wanted to add another COMPLETED manga to my list, so I trudged through the last 30 or so pages. It's tolerable. That's it. Art: 9 Now this was my favorite part of the manga. I know for a fact that if the art wasn't this beautiful, I would have dropped it at the very beginning. The art was gorgeous. Character: 3 Well, for one, the girls had no backbone and sometimes I wanted to slap them and tell them to just stop being so stupid. I mean, it looks as if they don't like being violated but they still let it happen. Then they say 'Oh my god, I can't believe I let that happen.' Over and over and OVER again. As for the guys, the first one was supposedly dangerous and everything but then was like mush when he was with the girl. The other two guys were just controlling. Enjoyment: 4 Well, I guess I had a good time getting angry at the characters so that has to count for something, right? The story itself wasn't the best but bearable if your bordering on insane because of being very bored. Overall: 5 The only reason it's a 5 is because the art was stunning. The story was...eh. Nothing special. Just another manga that's not going to be memorable.

Lagoon Engine review
Story: The story is comprised of mini-situations, all of which are touching and meaningful. What's great about the story is that not all of it is serious, there are some funny moments. For example, in one situation, Yen Ragun questions the gender of a character, which leads to an awkward resolution.
Art: The art is very good, but sometimes during battle scenes, there are too many swishing things flying everywhere, but it's still good. Characters: The characters are great! All of them are unique, such as Shintaro Nagasaku, the Ragun mother's editor likes to crossdress. Enjoyment: This gets a 10 because the art compliments the characters whom compliment the story. It all adds up to an enjoyable reading experience. Overall: This manga series gets a 9, great!

PxP review
PxP is the latest Oneshot of Yoshizumi Wataru.
- Okay, when I started reading it I thought that the story wouldl be more mysterious, but I got is wrong. The story is really nice and sometimes funny. The art was really really good! Compared to Marmalade Boy (one of her old manga, which I very love) and Ultra Maniac the art is a masterpiece! XD The characters really suprised me. I thought their personalities would be different, and overall I really enjoyed this Manga. Everyone I think can read it and enjoy. While reading it I really had a good time.

Tenjou Tenge review
This manga starts out very strong, it's extremely enjoyable but fizzles out two thirds into it and gains this rushed feeling up to the end. Most likely from the author's desire to quit and focus on their more popular series, Air Gear. In terms of art, you won't be disappointed, great detail and sharp lines are everywhere. There is quite a bit of humor, gore and nudity. Definitely not a story for the kiddies. It'll get really wordy towards the end, again that rushed feeling so I don't recommend this series for "some light reading". Some characters are given depth and others are overlooked, side
stories left hanging, again, that rushed feeling comes into play. I'm disappointed with the last chunk of the series and thus had to lower my original scoring from ten to eight. Oh, and ladies, this is a seinen for a reason, don't expect a love story or fun drama.

Shiyakusho review
The Story Of A Manga is about A Place When People Dies And Must Fill out A form for Descending to heaven or be reborn or going to hell. (I might be wrong about this one)
the manga got a great backstory. How these People Died, what caused the death of their life. some have a tragic backstory or some are just a murderer throughout the story. Well, the Ministry Of Death/Death office comes to help them to decide whether their life descend to heaven, hell, or be reborn again as a human due to their things in their life. Overall That's what I got to say in this review much longer review will be a spoiler to the manga so yeah 9/10
