Vagabond review
Story -
To be honest the only part of Vagabond I cannot call amazing is the story, the pacing is funky, the arcs don't blend too well and in most arc all you are doing is waiting for the climaxing huge event. Overall it at least has one that makes sense and doesn't leave you thinking "ok,,, what was that". 7/10 Art - Impossible to point out any flaws. The art in Vagabond is incomparable to anything else I've seen and is hard to put into words. 10/10. Characters - There are both fun and enjoyable characters (Matahachi) and serious and well evolved characters (Musachi). Enough said. Musachi's evolution with his ideas of strength and what it means to live by a sword are both meaningful and impactful to the reader. 9/10. Enjoyment - 10/10. Enjoyment is hard to put into words so very simply: I had fun; I laughed; I serioused; I sadded; I was amazed.

Death Note review
Deathnote has a unique storyline although it seems similar to all the others, save the world from criminals and bring peace however Light's way has got a way of getting into are minds, there is an morality battle raging in the readers mind, would you consider it ethical to use the note to end the lives of those who destroy and torment other peoples lives, could use the note to kill someone you deeply and truely despise or to kill someone in a jealous rage. Also can you kill a criminal who for all you know could be innocent.
Light and L go into a deep cat and mouse game and to me Light's way of bringing peace is a little mad (hehe). Ryuk the Shinigami is a delightful character that brings in the subtle humor that helps to balance out the dark and evil genre of the series (he's got big eyes too!). The one thing that I dislike is the fact that you didn't get many opinions of this mass murder case by the police and FBI, only one person showed that they agreed with Light's idea and this was met with disapproval. Overall a great occult/thriller classic which I think doesn't deserve it's 16+ rating because of it's total lack of violence then again I don't think that kids of 13 could take death on a massive scale.

Death Note review
Each era of anime is marked by its own trends, its own conventions, its own shows that dominate the conversation and shape public perception of the medium among fans and non-fans alike. For the 2000's, Death Note was one of the biggest, and a good argument could be made that it WAS the biggest. It achieved a seemingly omnipresent level of saturation, you could not go to a forum on any given nerd hobby without people filled with avatars and signatures from the series, and its famous lines are parroted even now. Its anime adaptation was immensely popular and reached a level of pop cultural
osmosis that was thorough enough that even people who don't care about anime obtained a passing familiarity with at least the eponymous concept. As of this writing, it is even getting a westernized adaptation on Netflix with Willem Dafoe of all people as Ryuuk.
Unfortunately, I can't really hold the series in an especially high regard for a number of reasons despite all the critical acclaim and praise that has been lavished upon it. To get the good out of the way, it certainly has a pretty fascinating hook. The ability to easily kill anyone without leaving any proof, thoroughly avoiding any consequences, merely by writing their names in a notebook, is a pretty interesting and memorable concept. It has immense potential for all kinds of storytelling possibilities, such as the development and psychological effects that this would have on the person using the Death Note, the wider sociological repercussions of a mass series of killings that seem to be divine punishment, whether it's morally justifiable to kill criminals given that any justice system is heavily skewed in certain ways, etc. Secondly, it has very good artwork. While Obata is not among my favorite manga artists, it would be disingenuous to not recognize his draftsmanship as arguably the strongest point of Death Note. It is not by any means easy to create polished and detailed art on a weekly basis for manga even with assistants, and yet Obata pulls it off with aplomb and a very strong aesthetic. My favorite part are probably his fantastical shinigami designs, which have a very "demon punk monster" vibe to them. Finally, the actual focus of the plot, the cat and mouse games between Light and the investigators (whether they be L or someone else) are pretty entertaining to watch. I don't think I was ever BORED reading the series since there was almost always something going on, some zany scheme or gambit at play that kept things moving. This was by Ohba's own admission what he was writing the manga around, and I can understand that decision since Death Note must have pulled in a strong readership when it was running in Jump due to its suspense on a week to week basis. But unfortunately, even with all those things going for it, it can't make up for what I consider Ohba's crippling flaw, which is generally that I think his characters are very lackluster for the most part. Light CAN be a fun character to watch, but I ultimately feel that he is a detriment to the series because he isn't especially nuanced or interesting. Everything related to his "development" is handled in an extremely underwhelming manner. Any scruples that he has are quite quickly tossed aside in a manner that makes later developments to paint him as a good person prior to the Death Note as completely unconvincing. He is little more than a petulant, arrogant sociopath with a god complex who only becomes more and more unlikable and pathetic as the series goes on. He has very little in the way of humanizing traits or moments, which just renders him completely impossible to like or get behind. This may have been the point, but I don't feel that it made for a good character because you can still have a complex and nuanced villain who is still someone to hate, but who also has layers and where you understand why he became the person they did and perhaps connect with them on some level against your wishes. Light does not achieve any of that, so as it stands I just don't find him to be that great. L is probably the best character in the series, a fun character to watch with enough bizarre quirks to make him feel more human than the other characters, even if it's an exaggerated animu way. I would honestly say that he is one of the series' biggest assets, every scene he is in is one where he has your attention. I don't think that I can hold him up as one of my favorite characters in anime and manga, but among the ones in the series, he stands supreme. The thing about this though, is that it makes the conflict in place have a pretty clear right and wrong. I have heard a few times about the supposed moral ambiguity of the story and the idea that people debate on who to root for, but with all due respect I just find that to be malarky. Light is such a horrendous, sanctimonious individual that it is impossible to suggest that he is in the right with a straight face. His entire worldview and methodology to using the Death Note is fundamentally and horrendously flawed and likely led to many innocents being killed, he simply cannot be trusted with that kind of power. This is someone who killed a man entirely because he insulted his ego, that is his defining character moment at the very beginning of the series. He isn't even the kind of charismatic villain who you want to see triumph. The idea that anyone should root for him or want him to win is completely laughable. I don't think most of the other characters really have that much going for them, honestly. Almost all of them are defined by very superficial characteristics that make it hard to really care about them in any meaningful way. IIt feels like Ohba only really cared about them as pawns on a chessboard to move his thriller plot along, without bothering to put some effort into humanizing them and making them compelling characters to be invested in. There was one moment in the story where one character leaves the investigation due to anger at how he is being treated, and is greeted by his daughter who asks him what's going on, leading him to burst into tears and hug her. This was one of the few instances of warmth and actual humanity in the story where I actually cared somewhat about what was happening on an emotional level, but there was never any other time where that happened. Overall, Death Note is quite an impersonal and cold story as the characters aren't really people you connect with all that deeply. Now, it is not necessarily true that you need super great and complex characters in order to have a worthwhile story. Some people may say that, but I don't think it's true, per se. If your story is more theme and idea-driven, then it is ok for the characters to be a bit more flat or to be more representative of ideas and philosophies, or be more timeless archetypes in order to make a point. The story need not be super emotional either, as long as it is interesting. But for that, your ideas need to be actually interesting and you have to deal with them in a meaningful and insightful way. Death Note never does that because it is entirely focused on its thriller elements. Ohba himself said that he wanted to leave moral judgments and sociological commentary for the audience to think about. I suppose I can understand that decision, but Death Note completely neglecting this area of the story feels like a bunch of squandered potential. All of the questions that I mentioned above regarding the premise's potential that could have been explored due to the premise are left as footnotes or passing mentions at best. This means that Death Note only really works as a reasonably entertaining thriller; it cannot to be said to be a strong character-driven drama, nor is it a poignant thoughtpiece that presents interesting concepts and gives insightful answers. What this basically means is that looking back on Death Note, I am just left feeling that the version of the story that I got from the premise was not at all the kind of story I would have preferred to get from it. I would have done a lot of things quite differently, such as significantly changing Light's character, focusing a lot more on societal effects of Kira, putting more character moments to add complexity to the cast and make you care about them, etc. But I suppose in the end I can't really be that hard on it, since I was entertained reading it. It just isn't anything more than a 6 out of 10 for me as an experience.

Hyper Baby review
The story about Maria, Maria’s sister has just given birth to a baby boy,
when she went out to visit her sister she met handsome mysterious guy and only Maria seems to be able to see him! to the end of the Synopsis. As i thought the story will be amazing as i read the Synopsis, but the story was so complicated first her new nephew he is the Reincarnation of her child then he was the Reincarnation of her husband in her past lives what's the hell i thought it will might be a great if the Author didn't put "he is her child Reincarnation" i find it very creepy and weird to have a romantic and Physical relationship with the Reincarnation of her child as her Husband and as her her new nephew (Masaki) i thought that will be a romance Between Marian and Ichirou KOUZUKI the Reincarnation of(Okaji) i was so disappointed even the end ZERO Romance i would be nice if we could see more about them. For the Story: 2 i thought it will be great but it turns out it is bad. Art: 8 i liked the art remind me of OHMI Tomu art (Ichirou) Remind me of Kyohei Touma from Midnight Secretary . Character: 8 only for Ichirou KOUZUKI he was so Altruistic towards Maria and Masaki Enjoyment : 1. Overall : 2.

Trans Venus review
I was surprised to find out this came in 2008, based entirely on the art I assumed it was from the 90's or 80's but in retrospect I guess things like ahegao weren't that big back then. While the story is predictable and barely enough to justify the action and ero scenes, the art is pretty amazing. It has that bubbly aura in faces and hair from the 80's and even in the sex scenes there is a clear interest to make it cute in a caricature way, not similar at what is considered moe right now. The action scenes are dynamic and clear even
when over-detailed and half the time you're not sure if you're reading something vaguely ero or completely sexual, some chapters are more of an action shone while others are entirely about the character masturbating. Strangely it works.
I'd recommend you check the art and decided based on that, it's not good fap material since you'd power through all the useful scenes in a couple minutes and it's not a great shonen since some times the resolution is just getting fucked by the orc. Also, spoilers, a pretty happy ending.

Tsumi to Batsu review
English and Brazilian Portuguese
Well it's basically the same as the book but in manga and for kids. I think Tezuka did a great job adapting the book to another media and thinking in another target audience. If you want to make a kid or someone who doesn't read much read a classic of literature, that's a good option. (sorry for any mistake) Bem, é basicamente a mesma coisa do livro, só que em mangá e pra crianças. Eu acho que o Tezuka fez um ótimo trabalho adaptando o livro pra outra mídia e pensando em outro público alvo. Se você quiser fazer uma criança ou alguém que não lê muito ler um clássico da literatura, esse aí é uma boa opção.

Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z review
I don't know what to say, honestly, when I was a kid, I def loved this anime version, I decided to come and see the manga, dude, you can't find more a generic, terrible written thing in Earth, this medrioc and even depressing, don't read, I don't think you actually wanted to read, but don't read it. Everything seems to be stolen and mixed, all the cliches and nonsenses from animes are there, and more, everything happens so quickly in 30 pages episodes, it's so stupid and tries too hard to be kawaii, it simply doesn't work.
It's ultra childish, even for the original cartoon, wich is pretty good and funny and even mature for a kids show,

Manuke na FPS Player ga Isekai e Ochita Baai review
Action & Gore/ FPS player in a fantasy world
Having read an absurd amount of Isekai mangas, this manga stands out in its originality and vibe. If you love the vibe of “Gantz” and the concept of“Isekai”, you should definitely give this manga a shot. !!Minor Spoiler!! ( -_・) ︻デ═一▸ Story: 9 This is the first time I have ever read a story about an FPS player trying to combat or survive in a fantasy world. Like what the synopsis said, the system the MC possesses in his FPS game (VBM) was carried on along with him to a fantasy realm. In this sense, his fighting skills, such as the utilization of guns and armors, were treated as a kind of magic of his own. The story progresses smoothly with no digressions so far. However, this is an “action-based” Isekai manga, so you shouldn’t find any enlightenment while reading. So along the way, the plot is pretty clear, our MC is going to solve his own confusion (as to how he got to this Isekai), fight bigger and scarier monsters, and try to find if he can go back to his original world. For an action based story, this manga deserves a 9 for progressing smoothly. Art: 9.5 The art has the “Sidonia no Kishi” and “Gantz” elements. It works out perfectly for this gore/action-packed Isekai theme. Also, I can see the mangaka making the effort of drawing out those fighting scenes to such clarity so that the readers didn’t need to guess what had happened. The depictions for the characters are nice. It is also good to see that the subtle amount of fan service is given while reading ;) The only complaint I have for this manga is that it repeatedly uses the same aerial background for the main city :P will give this lazy background usage with a -0.5. Other than that, this is a solid 9.5 Character: 6 Since this manga is mainly about its actions and fighting scenes, there aren’t many character developments from the story. All we need to know is that the main MC is fighting his way to go back to his original world and there are going to be side characters that will assist him along the way and might die in the process. Thus, this category deserves a normal 6. Enjoyment: 5~10 Having binged read all 17 chapters, I definitely love this Isekai manga and immediately add it on my must-follow list; however, I am scared about its update speed… ;/ Many readers have commented on how slow this manga is progressing. (-5 for possible irritation of waiting for next chapter :P ) Overall: 8 I enjoy reading this unique Isekai manga. Even though it seems that this manga does progress slowly, the people who read the novels say this manga is worth to be put on the follow list. Let’s see how this goes!

Ever 17 review
I have not seen any reviews for this so I thought I would write one. For the uninitiated out there, Ever 17 was a visual novel for the PC made by KiD in 2002. It is by far the best visual novel I have ever played, and has not only one of the greatest stories in visual novels, but (what I believe to be) one of the greatest in media itself.
It is sadly underappreciated, so when I heard a manga was being made for it, on the one hand I was glad, because it would be getting more mainstream exposure. On the other, I was very skeptical of it, and I will now explain why. Story: Simply put, the story of Ever 17 cannot be told in manga form. For me to explain why it can't work, would involve spoilers of the original visual novel. Let me put it to you this way, the way in which the plot is constructed in the VN means it cannot work in any other format. Especially with the way the manga presents things. The start of the story can be done I suppose, but as with many VN's there are multiple routes. Some anime such as Shuffle and Clannad(kinda) were able to pull this off. What I will say is that they will definitely not be able to do the True Ending. Currently the manga seems to be following Tsugumi's route. I can think of at least three of the plot twists, that would make no sense whatsoever in manga form. And these are vital plot points that can't be written around. You probably think I'm crazy, but trust me anyone who has played the VN will say the same thing. Which means the writer(s) for this manga are going to have to take some major liberties for this story to work. Speaking on what they have done so far, they have followed faithfully to the VN's story, although they have added a couple of plot points, originally not present, which gives me faith they have this planned out. Artwork: The artwork is very good! The characters and backgrounds are well drawn. Compared to their VN incarnations, the characters are drawn a little more "rounded" but apart from that they keep faithful to their original designs. Characters: The manga is not really that far into the characters' personalities yet, but I can tell you from playing the VN that all of the characters are excellent, every single one is vital to the storyline and if you removed one the story falls apart, all of them are well developed. Overall: I really hope this manga succeeds and comes up with some other ending to the story, because the way they have done things, there is no way it can follow the VN's ending. So I highly suggest you play that, instead of reading this manga.
