@BasicEden Thanks for calling me back. The first chapter is light on story, but I'm interested to see where it goes. Also glad to see that someone updated that wretched summary. I have a feeling that this one might fizzle out from lack of translators, though. Only one chapter and the TLs are...

Dropped. I loved Kenichi, so I gave the same author a chance with this one, and I think that maybe 26 chapters isn't enough to decide if this will be great, but I can't get into it. It's like all the irritating parts of Kenichi with none of the great parts.

267 chapters and I'm still waiting for this to get good. It's clearly just going to rinse and repeat the same dull storyline for every arc. The author can't even be bothered to make any interesting aliens. They're just humans with different-colored skin and some of them have animal parts now...

I like this one. Such a few short, action-packed chapters and it's already set up a pretty interesting dynamic between the main character and main villain, given some depth and foreshadowing to the story, and added some pretty solid emotion. I'm impressed; it usually takes a while longer than...

Korean webtoons have officially become more popular than Japanese manga. This is mostly based on the fact that Korea publishes to the Internet instead of printing books, but there are some quality manhwas out there. The next obvious step is for Korea to (finally!) get into anime, which they...

The hell is this description? Are you trying to make people avoid it? "The father went to war before he was born. His grandfather died .. blah blah blah... so basically dad went to war, grandad was killed watch this boy grow and eventually meet his father. And there is something to do with...

I'm going to rate this manga a "temporary 10" specifically to counter these lamebrains who are giving it a rating after a single chapter or two has been uploaded. I'll give it a real rating once it's matured and developed a bit more and I can see what it's all about. So far it's at least...

Holyland is still one of my favorite mangas. Anything by Mori Kouji is worth a read.

@DaoLaw I still haven't ever made the jump into reading light novels. Maybe I'll give it a try with this one. @kurosa You realize that DaoLaw was agreeing with me that the manwa is shit, right? The light novel may be great, but this manwa is crap. If you didn't understand that from the...

@Nerdy The translations for Korean manhwa (assuming they're popular enough) are almost always up-to-date with the releases in Korea. There is significantly less work required to do a Korean manhwa translation compared to Japanese manga, so the translations are usually less than a day behind the...

Dropping this one: Too many "gotcha" moments and convoluted political situations. It's not that I'm not smart enough to understand, it's that I'm smart enough to know when a writer is trying to fake being clever. Anyone can seem clever if they simply withhold information from the audience and...

This has become a little too goofy for how it began. I love a goofy manga, but that was never what Vinland Saga was, and I've been reading this for over 10 years. Thorfinn's 180 character change was pretty interesting and logical, but started the manga down a path toward this hammy mess it's...

And...this is the moment when Berserk died in my heart. I've been reading this manga for 16 years, and it feels like 14 of those years have been waiting patiently for Casca to regain her senses and for ONE damn good thing to happen for Guts. And finally! Finally, we get to see her wake up, only...

I don't understand the hate for this one. I think it's a well-crafted story that moves at a rapid pace and comes to a pretty solid conclusion. Way better than so many popular manga that drag on and on for over a decade and then just weakly whimper to an ending. I enjoyed it.

This is awesome. I'm surprised that something this good has escaped my attention. It's a pretty amazing feat of writing to make you hate the enemy and then immediately sympathize with them once they're defeated. My favorite part of this is getting the back stories of all the defeated demons and...

Dang, did not expect to enjoy this so much. It's pretty simple, but not in a bad way. The straight-forwardness of the situation means we can care more for these pretty complex characters. Even some of the nobles, who could easily be mistaken for irreparable baddies, have enough depth to make...

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It was a neat concept with some pretty nice plot twists--though nothing super twisty--along the way. If you're interested in a genre-crossing series that isn't too deep, this one's good. If you venture through the comments, just note that most of the whiners are...

This series is immature, and not because of fart and piss jokes. It reads like a couple of teenagers are making a self-indulgent homage to all the things they like. It needs to slow down and give its characters some breathing room to gain some depth. 8 chapters in and we know nothing about...

Hard to believe that I started this manga when only a single volume was translated. So long ago...I never could have imagined where it would lead. I almost stopped reading after the first great shock of the series because I felt betrayed by the author. Years later, hundreds of chapters, and...

Honestly, I think I only read this out of respect for Allen's efforts. This comic is boring. Too many names, too many throw-away characters who get far too much spotlight, same recycled plot for every single arc, and Mu Siyun's OP-ness and ability to be anywhere at any time through use of his...
