JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run review
Spoiler alert (?)

This arc of Jojo really tickled my fancy. From the steel balls, to the rape scene, this was honestly so well put together and a joy to read.

The art, wow what can I say. Love seeing rape in full color

Johnny's character progression was very reminiscent of Part 2's Joseph Joestar, while having the same insane power creep as Part 3's Jotaro. The story also tied beautifully with the parallel dimension concept introduced in Stone Ocean, and made the whole thing not hurt my head that much.

Gyro Zepelli. The mozzarella man. What can I say - definitely the best written Jobro to date. Gyro charms the reader with his good looks, insanely deep backstory into his childhood, and balls.

Valentine - OH MY... this man was the best written Jojo villan to date due to his actually feasible gameplan. He didn't want to murder people for his hand fetish, he didn't wah wah because of his childhood arch nemesis - he just wanted to make the world a better place using his absolute power. Nothing could have gone wrong with that, right? Valentine was in such a good place the whole manga, and his absolute power was used in such a way that the system was cleverly exploited for his personal gain. It's like, modern day America or something.

I enjoyed this part of Jojo. I enjoyed it so much that I want them to skip Part 6 and bring this right to the big screen (who liked part 6 not me)

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run review
When I was introduced to the Jojo series I had a hard time adapting to the visual style and universe.
I tried watching the anime with no great success, the story interested me however.

Then I started reading the manga and began to enjoy Araki's style.
I got to Stardust Crusaders and got really hyped about the stands, it was a brand new way of fighting in mangas I discovered, and it was very exciting, I wanted to read more.

Then I arrived at Diamond Is Unbreakable, and I thought "omg jjba is the best manga in the world".
The art, story arcs, characters, main villain, Morioh Town, everything blends perfectly and gives that masterpiece.

And so it went on reading Golden Wind and Stone Ocean, I has as much enjoyment as for DIU, and when I arrived at the end of Stone Ocean, which I will try not to spoil here, I was not too sure about the way the story evolved.

And I began reading Steel Ball Run, and I think it is one the greatest things that have happened in my life this far.
It's weird to explain, but it's as if my life had changed ever since I finished reading it, it may sound ridiculous, but that manga had a deep impact on me.
The further I went into the story and the more I wanted to read.
The first chapters seemed quite long and boring, even though the concept was highly interesting, and as I got around volume 5 it became pure craziness, I just couldn't stop reading, I remember waking up at night just to read one more chapter.

I can't explain how great that manga is, you have to read it right now!

Dorei-ku: Boku to 23-nin no Dorei review
Skip to the bottom for a tldr.

Art: not the most gorgeous illustrations I've seen, but really well matched to the dark themes involved in the story. 0 unnecessary ecchi despite the cover. Really helped set the atmosphere in my opinion. Very well matched to the story which is why I rated it 9/10; those who are looking to read a manga purely for the gorgeous illustrations however should look elsewhere.

Character: It actually did a pretty decent job of developing all the characters. The characters were pretty cookie-cutter but what can you expect with over 20 recurring characters that each had unique identities and stories? My main gripe is that the main characters lacked in-depth development but it didn't detract from the story.

Story: Oh boy. Started out super interesting. Started out innocent enough and progressively got darker and darker and was paced very well in my opinion. But... Ending was so bad that it deserves a negative score, thus bringing down the average of the beginning and the end to 1. Yea, the ending was a plot twist but...wow...what a lame plot twist. Ghosts. The story was resolved by ghosts. Just...what? A story with lots of potential was brought to utter ruination by the ridiculous ending. I was willing to put up with the ridiculous premise of the enslaving mechanism because of how compelling the beginning and middle of the plot was, but the ending...imagine you are making the most mind blowingly enjoyable love with the love of your life who is willingly indulging in your wildest fantasies and loving it. You start out with the most tender, tantalizing foreplay, move on to the most passionate main course, and then, about 70% of the way through, a religious fundamentalist group barges in and castrates both of you without anesthesia. That's what this ending was. I really cannot understand why the author just threw in a ghost and ended the story when there were a million ways to end it off nicely but I can only review what I'm given.

Overall: Very much a story driven manga. The characters and the art are accessories to the story and they do an excellent job of being accessories. Problem is the story was just utter garbage. It had great potential but it was ruined by one of the worst endings I've ever seen.

Glass no Megami review
This story is all fiction.

Story (3)

You may call it a typical harem. There is a random guy with no impressive features, a science expert (not demonstrated among the series) if you wish, who suddenly meet two girls and both are just in love with him, no major effort of the guy, who with ease have intercourse with them at any moment, yeah they are full of lust, yeah this is full of ecchi scenes, however it is not still hentai.

This is in the average. Maybe if you look for ecchi, you will enjoy it, the scenes are not censored at all, the mangaka uses a white circle, which personally I find not fit. What I find annoying is the lack of temperament of the characters. In fact, the scenario is unbelievable. Two cute girls interested in a common guy who plays with them, he goes one day to one, next day with the other one. No rival to make him worry, the story is entirely made at his sake, happy end for him, I don't think it is interesting at all, do you?


Art (7)

Let's consider for the sake of the story that is Ecchi and no romance, if so what matters are if the characters are cute. Obviously the guy is not considered, it is too simple!. About the girls, yeah they are cute, not the most beautiful out there, but they are fine. About the enviroment all the scenes are in typical buildings, such as school, restaurants, departments, and so.

Character (2)
The lowest point of the manga. The guy is too hesitant so he plays around. But the most annoying characters are the girls, no interest in other people, they have all their minds focused on the main character, and that's important to them, nothing else. The friends also behave to support the behavior of the guy of playing around. This happens all the time. The girls act too innocent, as if the guy were the only one in the world, as if he held a perfect love suited for them.

Enjoyment (6)
You may enjoy the ecchi scenes, sometimes they are hot, however the 'white point' which is used to lower the nudity is not aesthetic. Rest of the pages among this manga are just boring or annoying as you read characters behavior which i also said before, a story set in an unbelievable word.

Overall (5)

ABILITY SHOP review
Ability shop is like an Aesop Fable in manga form.

The main bulk of the story is the 'life lesson' that is to be learned at the end of the story. Being a one-shot, the plot has to move quickly, with the escalating actions leading to the climax compiling quickly one after another. Although the rushed pace is inevitable given the author only had 50 pages to work with, those 50 pages were well spent building rising conflict and leading to an valuable, if obvious, life lesson. The ending was more positive than I anticipated, which prevented the story from driving it's point even further home, but the ending is still acceptable.

The art is fairly decent; there is not much to say about it. The characters are differentiable, although they may not be the most appealing in design. The art does not hinder the flow of the story, and the small action scenes don't need major scrutiny to see what's going on.

Toshiki will not be the most noteworthy character in the manga universe, but he certainly played his part well, undergoing surprisingly rapid "growth" throughout the story culminating in the life lesson that he has learned. Side characters are side characters, they are there to support the main. None of them detract from the main story, though none of them will ever stick in your mind as memorable. Heck I had to look up Toshiki's name when writing this review.

Enjoyment here is definitely the most debatable factor here in this manga between individuals who have read this one-shot. I didn't enjoy in the sense that it was a fun read, but I enjoyed the fact that I came out of feeling like I learned something. That's incorrect; the lesson taught here is rather clichéd. What I truly enjoyed was having the value of a clichéd lesson reaffirmed within me.

Honestly, the greatest strength of this one-shot is it's brevity. There are no extras to this story; no fan service, filler arcs, beach chapters, warped power levels, plot holes, plot twists, or loose ends. It just tells a story of a boy who learns a valuable lesson in life, and will likely teach it to you too.
