JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run review
Steel Ball Run absolutely deserves the title of "Best JoJo Part". The other parts of JoJo have numerous flaws, and even though I love them to death I am more than willing to admit that Araki is not infallible. His manga is not usually thought out ahead of time, and often it's fairly obvious that he didn't have a conclusion in mind when he writes. Sometimes this works, and other times it doesn't work as well. But Steel Ball Run is such a tight narrative that, with such amazingly written characters and such an enthralling story that I'm not sure I can name any flaws.
Araki's art is magnificent here, his paneling is arguably at its best, and his character designs are as wonderfully unique as ever. The writing stands out as especially great. While in other parts some characters would get last minute backstories, or rushed development, Steel Ball Run makes sure to introduce characters and motivations naturally and realistically, and this makes the world feel all the more real.
Going beyond just story, the fights are fantastic in this part. I'd argue that Stone Ocean is the low point when it comes to the action in JoJo, but in Steel Ball Run every fight is action packed and interesting. All around, this part of JoJo is simply perfect, and that is not a term I throw around lightly but I genuinely can't think of any negatives about this part. Truly Araki at his best.

Alright, I'll keep it short.

The author also draws hentai manga.
It shows.
The author also drew princess resurrection, but in this case, it doesn't matter.

This title is technically ecchi title, but in practice, it is borderline porn, and only a tiny step away from being a hentai manga.
The author is seriously into humiliation, as well.

So.

The thing revolves around a detective investigating various odd cases. The detective's assistant is a web-camera (with a neet working through it remotely). The cases are mostly an excuse to put the heroine and other people into various degree of undress, or into some sort of perverted situation.

The art is so-so, it is clean but it is a bit simplistic with less "3-dimensionality". THe stories are not very complex/engaging, also the heroine has one hell of plot armor, and is always saved from whatever perverted situation she wandered in at the last moment. Side characters are not always this lucky. Lots and lots of nudity, full frontal nudity, non-frontal nudity, perverted situations, perverted characters, and implied and not so implied sex. It is still technically not porn. Surprisingly.

There seem to be some overarching plot in the series, but it is barely covered, and there are tiniest hints of it dropped in places, as one of the recurring characters seems to be more than she seems.

So, all things considered, not recommended unless you like nudity and people in uncomfortable scenarios are your thing. On other hand, can't say it is horrible, because there are worse things out there than this.

Bara no Maria review
Smartly drawn, the front cover was the first thing to scream “You’re gonna looove this!” at me. The main character, a tough, red-haired, orange-eyed beauty named Maria Rose, is a safe cracker in the slums of the city. She works for large sums of money to repay a debt in order to get her sword, the “Fake Consuming Inferno”, back. Maria works with a band of people who include Katari, whose head turns into that of a fish at random moments, Azian, the Maria-obsessed, somewhat perverted, dramatic romantic, the clever Tomato, and the timid Safina. They must go on a mission to an artist’s dungeon to raid it. However, this proves to have unexpected complications.
The art in itself is reason enough to read it—However, it has some people debating over whether it is shonen enough. Likewise, it should appeal to both gender tastes. This manga would be just the thing for lovers of action, comedy, romance, and fantasy. The characters are wonderfully designed and witty in their own ways. (And Katari’s head invites opportunities for hilarious fish-head jokes.) Maria is the kind of no-nonsense heroine that a successful female-lead manga needs. She is no damsel in distress. Bara no Maria has a satisfying potpourri of romance, action, and comedy (“…Can it be that your eyes and nipples are switched?”) that is sure to have your eyes perusing each skillfully drawn page with anticipation. The story waxes Black Cat, so people who love that manga will looove this! In a few words, this manga should be more popular.

Disturbing.

I stumbled upon this manga while looking for something short to read. Suicide had always intrigued me as it is the very essence of giving up and finding solace in death. It is one of those few things that those with the will to live can never understand and for that reason I was eager to read this manga.

Story: Unfortunately this manga had more of a horror taste (perhaps to be expected) than a profound psychological one and I was left relatively unimpressed by the time I had reached the end. The manga is quick to shake you as it begins with a scene of mass suicide; nothing is explained. While the shock-factor may intrigue you at first as it did me, I quickly found that this was the only thing that enticed me to finish the story. They did not delve deeply into the minds of the girls who joined the club nor did they explain much of how the protagonist felt - things simply happened. And perhaps it is my lack of exposure to Japanese culture but in spite of the protagonist's tragic upbringing I felt myself unable to relate or feel sympathy while feeling that the whole thing was unrealistic and simply designed to be disgusting. By the end of the story nothing is resolved. There is no depth. The story succeeds in its role as a horror manga however and for that reason I reward it a7/10

Art: The art was quite good and effectively magnified the story's dark and disturbing flavor. Bodies are drawn in proportion and 'impacts' are realistic to say the least. The character's were all consistently ugly. They are not afraid to go the extra mile. Everything is done to make this manga look as disturbing as possible.

At this point I don't really feel like analyzing the rest of the categories as I normally do. The characters like the story, were 2-Dimensional at best. And while the story was enjoyable in the sense that it kept you reading - it won't add anything of value to your life. The story was not insightful. The art was not astonishing. The characters did not make you cry or smile. This manga was meant to disturb. It is designed to shock you. And that is what it does well. Had they gone more in depth into the idea of suicide, how and why it occurs for different individuals and considered the topic on several levels while maintaining the existing mood of disturbia, it would be much better. Overall: 6/10
