Akatsuki no Yona review
I began reading this manga around five years ago. I remember reading the first few chapters, finding myself busy, dropping it, then coming back around to it. I'm so glad I did!

Minor spoilers below!

Story: 10/10

I love the story of Akatsuki no Yona. I have reread this manga so many times, and each time I fall in love over and over. The plot sounds so cliche and it is listed as shoujo. While I don't think that listing is incorrect per se, there are many dark elements within this story. There's violence and tragedy, but there's also hope and willpower. It's extremely enchanting to read.

Art: 9/10

The art is actually stunning. The mangaka can draw everything beautifully and when we get colored pages I absolutely fall in love. My one point off is for the earlier chapters (which you only really notice if you reread the manga), but my god has the mangaka improved!

Character: 10/10

This tale is absolutely character driven. All the characters have their own personality that they add to the party and I cannot help but love all of them! There's also a HUGE amount of character development for all the characters. You watch as they grow and discover new things about themselves and each other. Personally, Yoon is my favorite character, but all of them will situate themselves somewhere in your heart.

Enjoyment: 10/10

It's a fantasy story to get lost in, what else is there to enjoy? But in all seriousness, I have kept up with this manga for so long because I an enjoy it so much. I have favorite chapters and arcs that I can come back to and read whenever I feel like (or reread the whole thing if I have the time)! I usually cannot reread material, but there's something about this manga that draws me back over and over.

Overall: 10/10

Akatsuki no Yona is not your usual shoujo harem, but rather a story about overcoming trials and perseverance. It's dark and gritty at times and heartwarming and silly at others. Its cast of characters are all delightful, the art is stunning, and its story will no doubt hook you.

Stravaganza: Isai no Hime review
"I want to know the world outside these walls"

Claria is a Queen half a day, and an explorer the other. She likes to explore the outside of the city walls and often goes to this incredible and marvelous world taken from Alice in Wonderland. Fairies, Lizardmen, even giant monkey-like creatures, she does this on a daily basis to escape her responsibilities at the castle, and whilst doing so, she always wears her distinctive steel helmet to hide her identity.

Isai no Hime tells a fantastic story about a world where humanity is not a the top of the food-chain. Humanity has built cities taken from an era similar to that of the Romans, and they reside always on defense of creatures that might invade at any second.

Little dialog is needed to tell this story as it relies more on it's amazing art.
Few mangas look as beautiful as this one, and the style can even be compared to works by Miura, Kentarou(Berserk). The details are just perfect, the imagination behind the costumes, the historial theme, the armours, monsters, and the characters are on a different level. Outstanding through and through with each chapter.

Although it does follow a main storyline, Isai no Hime often leaves you hanging waiting for the plot to continue. It prefers to further some side-stories with some comical relief and ecchiness that do well to change the dark tone of the story but distract from the seriousness and greatness of it's main storyline. Nevertheless, the story is told so well that you feel fully immersed in this fantastic world from the first chapter.

Claria, our main character, needs few words to express her goals. Her interactions with other creatures and the environment speak for themselves. Little does she speaks that she often transmits with actions, she's a strong character with an indecipherable personality.

One of the most underrated mangas due to its mature themes, Isai no Hime creates a wonderful and stunning world that excels in the art department but lacks in plot continuity. With an intriguing main character and an extraordinary storyline, this manga will make you wish you lived in that era.

Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai review
If you want a masterpiece or a life changing experience this is not for you, but if you want a sweet and hilarious romantic comedy to lighten up your mood I definitely recommend Ao-chan Can’t study.
I often see the same kind of long reviews that say too much and nothing I actually wanted to know. I HATE SPOILERS, but I also don't want to waste my time with a story that starts great but decays and ends poorly or one where, after all their trouble, the couple doesn't end up together.. for no reason at all.

So I thought I should review in a different way, YES or NO answers to the questions:
- IS THE ENDING GOOD?
- DOES THE MAIN COUPLE END TOGETHER?
- IS IT WORTH MY TIME?

***If you don't want to know the answers to these 3 questions you should stop reading right now.***
If you're like me who just want to know if the story is worth your time, go ahead. So without further ado:

Is the ending good? YES
Does the main couple end up together? YES
Is it worth my time? YES

BRIEF FULL REVIEW: This is one of the few stories that made me cry from laughing, it’s HILARIOUS, the mangaka’s comedic timing is off the charts. The art is fairly good and fits the genre. The manga is currently completed and the anime adapts until Vol. 05 Lesson 20, it goes up to Vol. 08 and Lesson 36, 42 chapters in full with some extra ones. If you came from watching the anime you don't have to reread it, they adapted exactly the same as the manga, even the same panels as scenes and facial expressions. The manga is as funny as the anime adaptation and does go a little further on the story, but I feel like the story wrapped pretty perfectly the way the anime did it. I felt the manga stretched the story a bit too much for no good reason, but it’s still as good as the anime.

I intend to make my reviews brief, focusing on answering these three questions. If you like this kind of review I try my best to write in all animes and mangas I've experienced, so you can see a complete list of reviews next to my name just above.

Thank you, you're welcome and peace out. ^^

Sola review
(This is my first review)

(I only was able to read the first volume as Broccoli Books went out of business)

I am a big fan of the Sola anime and once I learned it was based off a manga, I bought the manga in a heart beat. Now is the manga as good as the anime?

-STORY-

I would have to say that it was only average. The story itself is great, the idea is brilliant and it made a fantastic anime but the storytelling was mediocre. The whole manga is only two volumes, which is too short for all the content the story can provide. The story is told in a very fast paced action and it skips a lot of details. There are a lot of "filler" scenes as well as characters do random pointless actions that really don't have a spot in the manga. It also has a lot of plot holes throughout the story as new questions are created in the story but barely any of which seem to be answered before creating more questions. That issue is further complicated with how fast events occur, there isn't enough time to really digest what is going on and it makes the whole story filled with potential relatively confusing.

-ART-

One of the first things you will notice about the manga is the characters look very unique and likeable. The female characters are designed cutely. One of my favourite bits of the artwork is the character expressions. Their facial expressions match the characters' emotions absolutely perfectly. The artwork is relatively simple though, there isn't much depth in any of the art, there can be some good frames but there are also frames where there isn't a background or really any detail at all. That's one of the biggest problems of the manga, the art needs more sophistication.

-CHARACTER-

As mentioned before the characters are very unique and likeable. The girls are cute if you need that in your manga. The characters are quite realistic actually having motives for their actions. There is huge depth in the characters especially that they all have back stories that link them together. The characters' pasts are also very mysterious which keeps the reader wondering for the truth.

-ENJOYMENT-

The story was very fast paced and it was very much hard to understand without either re-reading or reading very slowly. I never found any scene in this particularly funny even thought he manga tried at a few points to be funny. The mood of this book would of also been better if it was a bit more consistent since the manga has a lot of points where it is serious followed by points where it is not serious.

-CONCLUSION-

If your a Sola fan, you might consider it because the events are different. If you are looking for an interesting plot but don't mind spending extra time to try to digest what is going on, consider looking at this, but I highly recommend watching the anime instead.
