Medalion's manga meter

[bigtiddyoneesan]

You are forgiven

huh... so far this is how the manga feels.

11 chapters in and im not sure what to say.

Spoiler

Aight so this is Yugami our beloved mc.

He's a weirdo and like the people around him, i never fully grasped how he thinks.
He only follows his own ideals & set of rules, with an iron will.

And this is our 2nd lead Chihiro, who seems to be a semi normal person, if not a bit shy. But an open minded individual.

She just transferred and is struggling to make friends.

They are seat neighbours and over time befriend each other. I guess Chihiro's personality contrasts well with Yuugami's.
I'm at a loss i don't really understand what i'm reading so i don't know what to say about this manga, so i will instead do an autism spectrum test answering based off Yuugami's actions.

So far i'm mildly interested in the events & characters and I do think they are well written and all, i just have yet to see what makes people rate this so highly.

I would rate this 7 out of 10 of
I think i would need to read this more to get it but reading 20 chapters for this is review is unreasonable.

well, i might rate the first eleven chapters around a 7-8 too, but i would also say it's at least better than some higher rated manga on your scale (a 10 on IseGure???). but thanks for reading it. overall it's peam, especially the later chapters. Yugami is the archetypal sigma male who you can't help but respect. also yes he probably has autism.

Yeah, I can't really rate the mangas the same way i would do finished ones. Shorter mangas naturally get a higher rating because for my reviews their plot is more complete. Same for slapsticks or 4 komas. Longer mangas often are slow burns that reap insane rewards after a while, but i cant just read them completely here. So i don't get the full experience.

Your honeyed words have moved me, sister of vast mammary glands. I'll read it at a later date, after i get this review thing done.

Mangametry ain't so easy, eh?

 

[medalion]

Here is a recommendation so anonymous and obscure nobody would ever expect it.

I read it completely.
It's a short gag manga. There isn't any plot, just the same joke scenario playing out in different ways.
The mc's lack of care about really anything is something everyone should strive for, he's not even bothered about spontaneous teleportation between worlds.

Unfortunately the jokes were mid for a humour connoisseur such as I. Not even jokes about 2 dudes kissing smh.

I'll give it 6🫙 out of 10 🫙.

Since Season 3 starts in nine days you should read Grand Blue.

 

[GipoScribantino]

Do one-shots count?

If they don't go read Helck I don't know.

If they don't go read Helck I don't know.

Distinguishable scribble and frames on dung would count as rateable for the manga meter. The rules are pretty lax.

 

[athayanezant]

olrite, @medalion since you asked me to post manga to review and I refused to post hentai, so here's one from me. it's kinda oldschool but yeah, read it when you aren't busy, gang!

Initial D

 

[medalion]

Holy Brownie is one I found randomly a while ago and I've only read like the first few, last and Austrian painter chapter. It's from the guy who also made the Excel saga, which I really don't know much about other than the anime and manga being kinda different stories? It looks really interesting to my ADHD (just look at the tags!) but also kinda weird (a product of its time?) so I need another opinion.
Edit: feel free to skip this one

Back to reviewing it is.
Nothing will be skipped here, all things will be reviewed. And they will be immaculate, equal & inevitable.


The manga is about 2 fairies doing the will of god.
In terms of reading it's oneshot chapters in different universes and future & historical periods to make certain events happen through domino effect & causation to guide the world to it's right track. These events can be from a doctor discovering a new treatment to stories like, homonculus, sci-fi space ship, a generic demon lord & hero fantasy.

Spoiler

Now what's the content of these chapters? Mostly this.

Okay i'm kinda giving a misleading picture here but there is about 1 sex scene per chapter. For it's setting there's quite a lot of it.

Phio & Piola are the main characters here. They can pretty much do anything and are never in any danger. Their interactions make the tone of the manga light comedic and the events are portrayed that way.

I think the one theme that is consistent in this manga is it's absurdist events & comedy. This is a comedy manga.
In the first chapter they make a biblical event by descending to a nineteenth-century town from the sky with angel wings shining, that shine is actually radioactive particles. Killing everyone who witnessed the event with radioactive poisoning later, then they fly off into space.

I found the events & humour mildly interesting.
I'll rate this 6 out of 10

Goodbye, Iveta

Oneshot about the meaning of life.

Spoiler

Story follows the perspective of an ancient alien peeping tom. Snooping about the life of this one individual on earth.
We go through their life pretty quickly. This seems to be the theme in the manga.

Here's how i would interpret it's message.
Life is small and fleeting by nature so appreciate those moments in life.
What you do in life and what goals you set for yourself produce your own moments of happiness or sadness and all those thing together create meaningful life.


I honestly can't relate to this stuff. I really don't get it. I hate my life. If you're ever struggling or have hardship this philosophy won't help you pull through.

It's a fast read. Reading someone's perspective on things is interesting in it's own way.
I'll give it 6 🌭 out of 10 🌭

 

[AVGMR]

glad you read this oneshot.

Spoiler: thoughts

I interpreted the message a little differently where it wasn't talking about appreciating moments in life but the culmination of humanity itself and how our existence is so powerful. Showing all the different reactions that people have with the question "what's the meaning of life" just shows how different everyone truly is whether for better or worse. We are all different and this wide range of answers from people on earth proves our existence itself isn't meaningless. And I find this message very beautiful personally. I get why you couldn't relate to it or interpret the message differently. I hope have a better life in the future

 

[GipoScribantino]

Oh, you're back at it. Here is another one to keep you busy.

GraPara!

So in the setting mc is a fan of a failing gravure idol Katsuragi Sakura and starts supporting her. Allowing her to live with him and being her gofer/manager? From there on he helps her on her career and gaining popularity. It's not stated but it's obvious the mc likes her and that's where the ntr element evolves from. This pretty much is a fetish manga that works on porn logic.

Spoiler

This manga doesn't spin my wheels and I really struggle to understand the point of a lot of the scenes/events.
Mc is shown as a pathetic loser, albeit kind hearted.
This is portrayed with how mc himself feels, how he fails at the things he does and how powerless he is. To make the plot make sense & be able to emulate ntr the mc comes off as a naive idiot.

They portray Sakura as this innocent girl who just wants to reach her dream of becoming an idol through gravure modelling. To make the plot & ntr work she also comes off as a naive idiot.

There's a lot of wrestling(even a cool wrestling costume) in the manga. Most of those involves other dudes touching, trying to diddle or struggle snuggle Sakura. While the mc watches or protects her. With lot's of other random sex scenes.

Oh wow a dramatic moment where the mc shows their determination and will power.

These are the following panels, why did they draw the fucking dudes face like that? Like is that supposed to be comedic? Is he some sort of joke fucking character?

Imma hop in to the mind of the author. So earlier the girl was offering to fuck the mc, but circumstances blew it. So the above panels showing her fucking another dude is supposed to already give you a taste of ntr. The dude who she is fucking is not important. The fact that she is fucking another dude is the important bit. They just needed to cram that in, it's so random this is slop.

I wouldn't be surprised if the author was jacking off, got a brain aneurysm & fell into a coma. While comatose lying in the hospital bed he experienced this dream and now has put it on pen & paper.
It's all dumb but it's hard to get mad at it because it's impossible to take seriously. it's like getting mad at a clown for wearing big shoes unfit for them.

This is how i felt reading the manga.

An ntr fetish manga with bad plot. Tbh i liked @gimme_yuri_plz first suggestion more because the writing is better.
Idk, I would rate this 3 🍄 out of 10 🍄
That means i have to bump GYP's first manga to a 4.

So I can't edit the 1st post anymore. Uh maybe i'll do a google doc like tiddysan. If i feel like it. This thread is so scuffed.

Thank you for enduring this torture! lol

I don't have a problem with the cheating. What really ticks me off is when characters are completely brain dead, specifically women. And the cherry on top of it all is the disgusting trope of the girl who gets raped and ends up enjoying it 🤢🤮

This time, I have a non-trolling recommendation: Asahina Wakaba to ○○ na Kareshi
