Koe no Katachi review
This review is a bit difficult for me to write, because I had high hopes for the ending but instead I didn't get exactly what I had hoped, but not a horrible ending either. To begin, the story is very good. The author was not afraid of having the main character looking bad. The maturation of characters is refreshing to see, and the innocence and kindness that comes later in the manga is pure. A plot that right's wrong's in the past is great, and this one was written quite well. The ending is where the plot loses points. It's an anticlimactic story, but that's kind of on par with the slice of life genre, but the whole manga is slowly building to what readers thought would be a large confession with a happily ever after ending, but we didn't get that.

The art is great as well, although some faces Shoko makes is hard to read. But in terms of background art and such, pretty great.

Characters are fantastic. Nasty characters are really nasty, and I like that. The author didn't shy away from going all out, even to the point where I asked myself if I was going to even cheer for Shoya when he got into high school lol. Some of Shoko's reactions are a bit odd, and difficult to really understand but I guess that was a way the creator kept her sort of mysterious.

The enjoyment of the overall story was very good, I couldn't wait to read the next chapter because I thought it would end up a romantic ending and I live for those lol. Unfortunately I never got it, but the possibility of feelings coming forth was enough for me to keep wanting more.

Overall, its a good book. Very heavy at times, and tearful, but in the end it did a great job and telling a great story.

Kisei shite Level-ageta n da ga, Sodachisugita kamo Shirenai review
During this review I will refer to this novel as 'Parasite.'

Story - 7/10.

The Main Character, Eiji, gets brought before the Goddess, Rux (lately the translation has differed to calling her Ruu, I will call her Rux for the purpose of this review).

After being told it is impossible for him to go back to his world he is given the opportunity to get a "Class" from the possibilities inside him. Unfortunately, as a NEET he only has the "Parasite" class, reluctantly he chooses it and is on his way.

As is normal, after being transferred and given some items by Rux he makes his way to the nearest town in the hopes of testing his power.

By using his power he can make himself stronger without the need for actual combat.

Now onto the actual criticisms. Because he can become stronger this way he has no reason to leave the Inn. It is 9 chapters before he even takes a request and in the same chapter he gets his first kill. He spends his days watching his level ups (you can see status in this alternate world) and just lazing about.

Further, its also around 53 chapters before you get even the slightest hint of what I believe to be the main overarching plot. Secret Organisation? Sounds like the final boss to me.

In short, the story is told at a snails pace. Most of the time he lazes the day away if you can tolerate a slow story then keep reading, if not. Well, dunno what to tell ya.

Character. 6/10. There is only development with Eiji, slowly you see Eiji grow out of NEET mode at times, currently he has grown respected enough to be offered nobility by another noble but he is the only one so far to have any semblance of development.

Other characters include Rux, Ally and Veil. Ally pops around quite a lot but only some small info is known about her, although I get the feeling the story is going into her character arc at the moment. And for Veil. Pretty much just air. Nothing is known about her.

And he just communicates with Rux from time to time.

Enjoyment. 9/10. I quite like relaxing stories so I have no issue with the snails pace, the story is quite interesting and the fight scenes are told with enough detail that you can imagine it well.

Overall. 8/10. Parasite is not for everyone, I like the relaxing pace as I mentioned prior but others will be disappointed with it. The biggest criticism I have is that characters get brought in fast and they get forgotten faster.

His summon. Veil. The Robed man. Farewell, we hardly knew ya.

In short, you have no attachment to anyone but Eiji and there's barely any there either. But for people who want a slow read check out Parasite and if you're looking for a more action based novel. Try elsewhere.

CROSS DAYS review
Let's get this out of the way: I love school days. The anime is on my favorites. Trust me, as much as you want to avoid this manga anyway, it's twice as shitty if you're actually a school days fan.

The first thing that you have to understand is that this is NOT an "addition" to the franchise. It doesn't add extra detail to the original plot or anything like that. It takes place on an alternate timeline where the school days harem ending occurred, effectively killing any drama there and creating a stupid anticlimax. This series is actually pretty big on anticlimaxes. There's at least 3.

There was actually a happy ending. Yeah. A happy ending. In a part of the school days franchise. The worst part is that it looked like the ending would be tragic and slightly redeeming, although the tragedy seemed kind of forced in the first place, but tragedy was somehow (it was literally physically impossible) averted and it was shit.

School Days is known for not following conventions of the industry, but this manga did just that. The two MCs were inexplicably shipped by the MC's sister for the sake of the plot. The MC dressed up like a girl after an extremely convoluted line of reasoning convinced him it would somehow help his situation. Why? For the sake of the plot. School Days was a clever deconstruction. This is a cliché shounen romance slash gender bender.

The characters were empty and dull. The main character was a pathetic loser with no redeeming qualities and the heroine was a very typical tsundere. The characters from School Days were simplified or just changed completely. Makoto became a generic villain, Taisuke became a cliché and possibly homosexual bromantic foil, which is the very archetype he originally deconstructed, Sekai became nothing but a slut, and Kotonoha was as boring as always except she never really went yandere. Setsuna was my favorite character in the anime, but here she is reduced to an unimportant plot-device. None of the characters were good, realistic, or redeemable in any way, form, or shape.

The ending of School Days is the best part for most people. Well, in this manga Makoto is an even bigger douche, and a rapist to boot, but he ends up fine. One funny thing about the original series was Makoto's flawless skill with the ladies despite being a bland loser. It was satirical and entertaining. Him losing this aspect of his character, and not being able to seduce the female lead really made him less entertaining.

I would have honestly preferred it if Makoto ended up NTRing the main character and subsequently adding the trap version of him to his harem, or just making him kill himself. The best part of this manga was the protagonist's reactions to Makoto's sexual escapades and the one of the best parts of the original series was the tragedy. This series ultimately failed to capitalize on either of these things and just ended up with wasted potential.

Really, the whole thing was nothing but wasted potential, which completely kills the enjoyment factor. The art was quite lackluster. The characters were dreadful. Overall it was a bad experience that, despite its length, I wouldn't recommend to anybody, least of all an actual fan of the franchise.

Ouritsu Mahou Gakuen no Saikasei: Slum Agari no Saikyou Mahoushi, Kizoku darake no Gakuen de Musou suru review
Personally, I haven’t read a wide range of manga, but I’ve read enough to determine how pathetically generic this is. All it took was a couple of chapters, and since then it’s continued to go on a steep decline. There’s always a chance that it could improve in the future however judging on the path it’s going, it looks like this will only worsen.

Story - 3
Mediocre af, seems like the mangaka doesn’t understand what plagiarism is, because I would say 90% of the plot so far is taken from other big names.

Art - 6
The art is alright it but there’s nothing special about it, the characters mainly have a bland art style and the couple of fight scenes so far have been quite badly illustrated. The one main positive I saw, was that the magic effects looked kinda cool, but that alone can’t make up for the rest of the art.

Character - 3
Typical OP mc ;-;. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he also has literally no emotion. He’s always expressionless and the aura he’s supposed to give is a badass one, yet the mangaka failed miserably in portraying that. The rest of the characters are also completely 2D and aren’t even worth talking about.

Enjoyment - 5
I know I’ve made it sound completely and utterly trash, (which it is) but each chapter I’ve been anticipating, well not exactly, more like hoping something special/unique/cool happens which is pretty much the only thing that drives me to continue reading this. (Oh yeah, and maybe future encounters with the girls)

Overall - 5
Considering there are only 6 chapters translated so far, I wouldn’t completely encourage you to ignore it, because it’s not my job to drive away potential viewers. The manga has only 6 chapters translated so far so isn’t a massive waste of time if you don’t end up liking it. However, if you’re not one for the OP mc who doesn’t know what smiling or crying is and has a special ‘skill’ which results to inconceivable power and a harem, this might not be for you. I’m certainly hoping for this to improve, but as I stated before, there’s next to no chance of that happening.
