Solo Leveling review
Solo Leveling is a super enjoyable read, one of the best manhwa i've read. If you're a fan of OP MC stomping people this series is definitely for you, but that isn't all, something about this series is quite different and it always brings you the hype for each chapter.

Story 8/10
At first you might be skeptical about it, expecially if you followed shounen genre or series like One Punch Man and Overlord. The story is nothing revolutionary, but overall it's still very solid and enjoyable... this is your classic "from zero to hero" but with the skillset very similar to the "player" in RPG game, if you followed another manhwa "The Gamer" you'll feel extremely familiar with this series.

Art 10/10
One of the best aspect of this series, the art is so beautiful and looks very cool, everything (the fights, the expression, the characters) are so well drawn.... props to the artist for this.

Character 7/10
Honestly i don't find most characters are super appealing aside from the MC, some characters might feel reasonable and relatable but surprisingly i didn't find anyone outshine or in the same place as the MC. I only read the manhwa so far this might change later on, but overall it's an ok from me.

Enjoyment 9/10
Every chapter is hype, the author did a good job to cut the parts where you feel "wow, so cool" or you can't wait for the next one. Some of readers might unable to see the hype as i agree that the story is quite cliche, but hey even Kimetsu No Yaiba and BNHA are very cliche but people are still enjoying it, this manhwa gives the same vibe.

Overall 9/10
I can understand the hype around this series, this series delivers well... it isn't your harem art online or incest OP series, overall it's a good read, you should also tried it, definitely have a chance to compete with another Japanese shounen mangas.

Gakkyuu Houtei review
Gakkyuu Houtei is somewhat difficult to classify. It belongs to the mystery, psychological, and (dark) comedy genres, and is a very unpredictable work. If you like Phoenix Wright, you came to the right manga. It follows the line 'yeah, advocacy can be very cool, entertaining and shonen-like!', and mixes serious themes (just wait to see as the end of the story approaches) with childish themes and elementary school problems.

The author uses irony and changes in the points of view to deceive the reader to always think something a lot darker than what is really happening. You'll understand me when you read the chapter about the 'white powder addiction'...
And if you think this way, 'everything is NOT as dark as I'm guessing', you will got everything wrong, too. This story never ceases to surprise the reader.

The story revolves around an incident that happened years ago when an entire class of small kids and their teacher was murdered, and just three people survived. The three were taken to a school for delinquents, as they were blamed for the murder. One of them was our protagonist, Abaku Inugami. Now that he's in another school, he has to solve many cases in the school court.

The manga overall is so funny and full of kids that in some point you start to think that there will be no 'serious' cases (murder, drugs, fights etc), and when some of those things actually happened (especially in the end), I felt somewhat uncomfortable, like the tone of the story had changed too quickly. GH tries to criticize the school system a lot of times. Abaku takes a lot of chances to criticize the funcionality of the human mind in pressure and fear, and the way adults see kids. That's why I think about this manga as a psychological title too, though a mild one.

The art is wonderful, Obata surprised me again. He's as good with shonen-type art as he is with seinen-type, like in Death Note. You can feel like you're playing a Phoenix Wright game.

The other points (characters, story, enjoyment etc) got mediocre scores from me because this is a good manga, not an excellent one. It serves its purpose well and amuses the reader, but there's nothing especially memorable there. At least it ended with only 22 chapters, or it would become repetitive; it has exactly the number of chapters needed for the story. The fast pacing compensates over the simplicity of some situations.


***THE NEXT PARAGRAPH CONTAINS SPOILERS***

I just couldn't like the ending. It may surprise some people, but for me it was a conclusion so simple and silly that got me frustrated. I also couldn't think the teacher murdering all the students was in harmony with the feel of the story as a whole; it was too heavy. The teacher had a nervous breakdown?? What kind of reason is that? Too silly to justificate something so serious as a school massacre in a shonen with 11/12-year kids. If they wanted to talk about a serious theme like stress in people who work with children, I don't think this was the right way. It was a disservice.

***SPOILERS END HERE***


Gakkyuu Houtei deserves your attention. It's a perfect manga to read in 1-2 days to have fun and some surprises. I'm looking forward for an anime adaptation, GH would look very good animated. And please DON'T expect this to be a Death Note with kids. I said DON'T!

To Heart review
One of the cutest manga I've ever read.

Story

Though it's a bit cliched (the whole unrequited childhood friend high school love aspect) there's plenty else to enjoy. It's a comedy after all. I think the story serves to bring out the characters more, which makes more sense in this kind of manga, as it's more of a romantic story than anything ground breaking.

It also seems like a harem manga, yet I have mixed thoughts about this. On one hand there are a ton of female characters, but on the other they aren't exploited too much to much to make things uncomfortable and the story's mostly told from a female's perspective.

Art

Everything is drawn so cute. Really. It doesn't seem like the characters are in high school based on the art style, yet even this is a appropriate for the manga. No complaints about their childish looks though!

Characters

All of the characters have little idiosyncrasies which makes them even more endearing. Most of them have their own story attached to them, which serves to make each of them a little more dynamic than first expected. There's the ditzy girls and the mysterious girls and the instigator, your typical high school bunch.

Overall

The best word to describe this manga would be "cute". Everything from the characters to the art are drawn out in a very endearing way. It's quite simply a comedy with a ton of ditzy characters and awkward situations and very enjoyable because of these qualities.
