High School Musical review
It's a perfect one. For every mangaka, take notes on this manga, as it's what not to do when writing!
It's based off Disney's "High School Musical" and while I haven't seen the film, I believe we can both agree that this is the worst adaptation of the story you can get, and it doesn't follow the original premise!

This manga is about 10 pages long. You can knock it out in about a minute. But should you? I believe you shouldn't, and here's why.

Story: 1
There is no story, there are just characters talking and then it ends. The synopsis gives an interesting premise, but it's never explored. The 'story' may have been present, but smashing it all into a handful of pages makes it get lost with no real evolving plotline. Don't try and shove your plot into a few pages.

Art: 1
It's an extremely generic art style that has nothing that makes it stand out. Character designs are generic, the shading is mediocre, and it's overall just something you look at. The art of manga should have something that makes it stand out, like Sailor Moon with its classic character designs or Berserk and it's highly detailed backgrounds. Even mangas with art that makes you cringe are better, as at least it gives you an emotion. But not this.

Characters: 1
The only ideas you get of them is a page that explains the characters and their relationships. It feels a lot like something you would read in a doujin, not an official manga. Even then, it's vague and doesn't really help, as you still have no clue who these people are.

Enjoyment: 1
It was minute-long fodder, and not very good at all. It was a waste of my time. It just suddenly ended and I was caught off-guard, as I was hoping that the theories that it was only a dozen or so pages long were false, but alas.

Overall: 1
It's generic and has nothing interesting for anyone. It's best you don't even consider it, as I can never get back that minute of my life I wasted on this. If you're really that bored, give it a read, it'll entertain you for a minute or so.

Time Paradox Ghost Writer review
Time Paradox Ghost Writer — a wonderful idea that could not satisfy many.

Story [6/10]

I loved the new concept that was introduced in this manga. It's perhaps the very first time I'm reading something like this, so I was very keen to learn more about it. As you have probably read the Synopsis, this story starts with a Weekly Shounen Jump from 10 years in the future and revolves around the mega-hit series, The White Knight.

While the protagonist is shown adapting to his new life, it isn't much enjoyable. He's deliberately made as a paranoid person and always wonders on how to continue the story further. I believe it could have been handled a bit better. And if it did, then we would likely be blessed with 5-6 more volumes.

Art [10/10]

The best part of this manga is the artwork, which is superb. One of the reasons why I continued reading this manga is mainly because of it. It is simply mesmerizing and if this manga had continued, then it would have surely become a favorite in many user's lists.

Character [5/10]

The main characters are Itsuki Aino and Sasaki Teppei. While Aino has been written has a wonderful character with a lot of smile and motivation, Sasaki on the other hand is always paranoid and is full of anxiety. The main issue that leads to the downfall of this manga is Sasaki. If only the authors took their time to develop Sasaki in a way that the audience likes, then it might have been successful.

Enjoyment [4/10]

The main thing to enjoy is the curiosity to know what will happen next. Aside from that, I don't think there is enough to enjoy since it is a short series.

Overall [6/10]

4 points for the incredible art and 2 points for the original idea. Though the story has references to other manga, the overall plot is amazing. I will probably recommend this manga to others since I like it, and might also buy its volume whenever it comes out.

ALLEGRO AGITATO review
When we’re kids we think of our parents as perfect. Some of us want to grow up to be just like them because the love they give is almost tangible. As we grow up we start to notice things that prove that theory wrong, and the people we think highly of and aspire to become are no longer them--parents got lost in our own transition. By the time we’re an adult we see them for what they really are, a perfectly flawed human who just does what they can and we go back to admiring them, if we’re lucky enough to still have them that is.

Looking at this manga and thinking about it now, flaws take up a whole new meaning.
The plot is simple, Shouko a high school girl with a famous mother, is tired of not being noticed as anything but her mothers daughter. When her mothers tells her that she has to move into the apartment because their house (the one Shouko lives in) is bombarded with paparazzi, she does. There she meets her mother’s new boyfriend, Ujoi, who happens to be living with her. I want to say she was attracted to him but that’s not exactly it. She is tempted by the idea of taking him away from her mother. Just to finally have one on her and so she does.

Shouko is just a teenager. She acts like a spoiler brat sometimes but at the end that’s what she is, just a teenager. As a young adult she needs a mother, someone to notice her, give her attention. But she doesn’t have that, instead she is out staged by her own mother because of being a celebrity. Constantly living in her shadow and she snaps. Her character is shallow and impulsive and she doesn’t think about anyone but her self. Actually her character if said that way is very realistically displayed.
Not to get started on the mother who I wanted to slap in every other scene. It just goes to show you that just because we age, doesn’t necessarily mean we start acting like grownups. She is a really bad example of a mother and had no redeeming qualities I could see. Not towards her own daughter anyway. Though she did take care of her material needs I guess, if that counts. Her alone takes a point off the rating for her obvious role in screwing up her own daughter, and also, I refuse to believe mothers act that way. Yeah, call me gullible.

Ujou, I’m not exactly sure of his role in all of this apart from being the guy who slept with both the mother and the daughter. I am sure he has other issues, but I stopped caring for them as words started coming out of his mouth. He didn’t seem to care about any of them and at the same time had a lost, empty look in his eyes. Maybe that was his role to begin with. To himself, he had talents (outside the bedroom) and wasn’t putting it to any use. Didn’t even know if he wanted to until they get taken away. When the option gets taken off the table is when you realize you wanted it all along. Life is cruel that way.

I felt for Shouko and her situation but her best friend's, Miu, story broke my heart. You get hints of it in the beginning because of her hostility towards men as a whole, but it’s not until a few chapters later that your suspicions are confirmed true. Being a victim of sexual abuse is one of the most horrible things that can happen to anyone, Miu knows that first hand.
She was probably harder to describe than Shouko. Not because Shouku’s problem were minuscule or not important but in my opinion pale in comparison. For the sole reason that Miu didn’t feel she could tell anyone while Shouko spoke about what was bothering her. At one point she was close to saying something but she didn’t and hoping that person would notice and ask about it, but they didn‘t.
The part that got to me was that her own best friend wasn’t there for her and was so busy with her own things that she didn’t bother to look Miu’s way when there was clearly something wrong and the signs were always there.

To be taken advantage of by the people expected to protect you is brutal for a young girl, any girl, any person actually. I can’t say that Miu’s actions were justified in what she did, having not been in that position. But I felt for her character, more so at times than the protagonist who didn’t care for anyone but herself.

The art on this one, is average. If I think about it, really think about it, the art was mostly insignificant. Yes it matters and we know it’s there, obviously, but the bigger picture was these four people and what they were going through. Although I have to hand it to the mangaka for the making them look their despair in their eyes. I saw it, if anything else.

I want to say that the ending tied everything up in a nice bow and doves flew by as cherry blossom petals fell to the ground. The ending, it wasn’t like that at all. For some characters, what happened was merely a speed bump in their drive to work. For others it was the words, “To be continued,” at the end of a book. For the unlucky ones, is killing the monsters in a nightmare and opening up the door to freedom only to find it’s another quest. Either way the ending sucked. It didn’t tell us anything. We might as well have paid for the movie, liked it enough, and then the power goes out and nothing. At the end people just walked it off, like if it was nothing. Except for the ones who got screwed, metaphorically speaking.

What I got from this manga isn’t something necessarily in the subject, but it did make me appreciate my own family a little more. So, appreciate what you have today, because it may not be here tomorrow. That includes people.

The Extra Story “Angel Night” is a more uplifting story and yet still sad. Which I think is the recurring theme of this author…
It was about a girl who's life isn't going as she hopes and being on the brink of suicide gets scent an angel to collect her soul. The characters are better in this one, by better I mean less hostile and evil.

I won’t go into depths on this one. If you get something free with your purchase, just take it…

Gun Blaze West review
Gun Blaze West - A Lost Pearl.

The problem with Shonen Jump at the time was the cancellation of some series due to not selling enough content and Gun Blaze West was one of those works. The series was canceled against the very will of Nobuhiro Watsuki, the man behind Buso Renkin and the best-known seinen manga ever, Rurouni Kenshin ("Samurai X" in Europe).

The series had everything to be successful but due to the lack of sales was eventually forgotten in the memory of the people who supported the series. I have to admit that I didn't know the series at all, but out of curiosity I decided to see Watsuki's works - I had bought a volume of Kenshin that day - and I realized that Watsuki is one of the few mangaka's who "touched" new ground, outside the Japanese cliché. When I use these last words (Japanese cliché), I am talking about what is now a nightmare in the trends of selling manga and that even so manages to go unpunished. Gun Blaze West is the only western manga that I know of and the only one VIZ has edited over the years in the industry. Watsuki is, therefore, an underrated author with the series he invested as most people identify him as the author of Kenshin and not as the author of masterpieces that at the time (these works came out) had huge success.

Gun Blaze West invests in something that once, no manga gets: cowboys. Although in the synopsis of the story, the narrator speaks of gunslingers (gunfighters in the VIZ edition), the story is about a boy named Viu Bannes who wants to know a mystical place called "Gun Blaze West", a place where only the strongest can reach in the West (which is a reference where it is located). The story is told inside the United States where our hero lives in Illinois, in a village called Winston Town, in the year of 1875. From here the story is based on actions that Viu makes happen and that is gaining little by little but always with much effort. The manga generally shows a narrative very similar to One Piece, where the naive hero begins a mission to go to a completely unknown land/place to find a great treasure (but as in One Piece, the treasure remains a secret). Viu eventually meets Marcus Homer, a species of Portgas D.Ace in One Piece; an older brother), but the character ends up giving his life to the protagonist, which for me is a reference where Oda was inspired to implement in his story, because Gun Blaze West was a much older and much more inspiring manga from the emotional point of view, at the time).
The protagonist, Viu Bannes, is always a character very attached to his friends and manages to always find some way to defeat the enemy (such as the cliché manga following that has been published, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Hitman Reborn, Fairy Tail and so on).

Let's be honest here: Viu Bannes is nothing more than a typical Shonen Jump character who looks like it was taken from a catalog of cliché heroes and everything but Viu, unlike many main characters, fits perfectly into the hero role because the play Is shonen and because the environment of the story helps the character to grow and mature as both a man and a gunman. In addition, the character is made on purpose, and so I quote the words of Watsuki: "- Viu came about from my strong wish to do a shonen-type main character".

In the second volume of the manga, there is a lot of new characters, Watsuki did very well in creating new characters from scratch and not using characters from other works of theirs (re-use old characters) and he explains each one at the end of each chapter. The manga concludes the events of the first volume, where Target Kevin burns a house where Viu and his new friends (Will Jonhson and his sister, Carol Jonhson) are for a while. After everyone saved, Viu plans to confront Target Kevin and the major of the city invites him to play a game called "Deadly Target" where he basically has to fire his weapon as quickly as possible (always before the enemy) to the point where the target is marked. After addressing this issue, Viu and Will Jonhson meet the new characters in the series: Colice Satou, the new recruit for Viu's group; Robert Rodriguez, a man who teaches Viu on how to use his gun; Uno and Dos, twin sons of Guallaripa who are determined to help their father on his journey and Guallaripa, former partner of Robert Rodriguez and father of Uno and Dos. They are characters that are implemented in the story with the purpose of remaining for some time but as the manga was canceled, the characters lost a lot of characterization and were incomplete, in addition, the fights are very fast and objective but regardless of that, the art is still amazing.

In the third and final volume of the manga, there are three new characters: JJ, a convinced armed man who travels to Gun Blaze West with his band (Watsuki describes him as being a "colder version of Marcus Homer"), Armor Baron , the first messenger of Gun Blaze West (a sort of judge) and Sarge Thunderarm, as a soldier of the United States Cavalry Army (he believed to have been killed after he took a cannonball but was rebuilt as a Cyborg in the service of the US government in order to find Gun Blaze West). In the end, Gun Blaze West is just the promise that Viu Bannes made at the beginning of the story and even with some spoilers and some repetition in the lines, the manga ends up in the best possible way.

It's a shame this manga has been canceled but even so, the end of the story has a gigantic plot twist and only demonstrates Watsuki's imagination to accomplish an end with so little time. This is one of my favorites mangas of shorted manga along with "Barrage" by Kohei Horikoshi, which is my favorite manga ever.
I can not give a score other than 9/10 to the manga, it was extremely unfortunate to have been canceled and even with repetition of the same idea of the place (which is the Gun Blaze West), I think it is worth it, and the reader can have some differentiation between manga genres while having a unique story that is almost impossible to have in Japanese comics.

Story: 9 | Art: 10 | Character: 6 | Enjoyment: 10

Score: 9
