Hamster Club review
Hamster Club tells a story of adopting and raising three dwarf hamsters through a 4 panel comic strip style. The main element of Hamster Club is it’s cuteness. One volume of the book is usually around 130 pages and it has 6 volumes so it’s not a long read.
The story is quite limited with the 4 panel format. There is no coherent story to follow most of the time. It’s just small individual stories. But the point of Hamster Club isn’t to tell a grandiose story, but instead a cute one. And it does deliver on that. Hamster Club made me smile more times than I would like to admit. Alongside the story, the artstyle brings a cuteness factor. There are artists who make better panels and such, but Hamster Club has to be one of the cutest manga I have seen. The designs of the three hamsters and their expressions just melt my heart. They could be a little more realistic ofcourse, but I feel as if realism wasn’t a priority. Speaking of the hamsters, there are three of them. Their names are: Shigecchi, Endoo and Pooh. They all have a great personality. Shigecchi is stubborn, Endoo is hysterical and Pooh is lazy. The design enforces these characteristics. Also there is the writer’s self insert as the main human character who owns the three hamsters. I like how every character is executed. There of course could be more depth, but as I already mentioned that isn’t the point. I enjoyed reading this wholeheartedly. The story isn’t anything special but that’s what makes Hamster Club special. It’s a comfort manga for me. Something I can read and turn myself off.

Red Sprite review
This is more of a first reaction, rather than a full review. I will update it as the story progresses.
Red Sprite is a manga that started in SJ right after Bleach ended, yet it received close to zero hype, thus not many people have heard of it. The author, Yagi Tomohiro, is also relatively new to the manga industry, having only drawn one more series for SJ, which never took off and ended after 20 chapters. It's safe to assume that the expectations for this series are not set too high. STORY: I was pleasantly surprised by the story. The mangaka has managed to create a unique setting, which is a huge plus in today's saturated shounen industry. In only 11 chapters he has managed to create a solid world and has given the reader enough information, so as to prevent confusion, while also not giving out too much. The ordeals thundercore humans face are also very realistic, hence the main cast's troubles stick with the reader. The progression of the plot is also a potential selling point for this series: this series is quite fast paced. For example, the main character doesn't start off as a total weakling as in other popular shounen. Instead, the first arc begins after a time skip, during which the MC has acquired enough strength to be able to protect himself and his crewmates. The first arc is both unique and standard. That sounds contradictory at first, but while the premise of the arc is the search for the protagonist's childhood friends, the way the mangaka goes about developing it is different to what we've seen in most other manga so far. As for complaints I have with the story, I guess I'm not entirely sure where exactly it is headed at this point. Sure, the protagonist has set a goal for himself, but since it's different to the goals of other shounen protagonists, I can't see where this is going. That might be a huge advantage to this series, but the mangaka is treading on new ground, which means that there isn't a set recipe he can follow. Instead, everything depends on his skills as a writer, something which he hasn't proved yet. CHARACTERS: There is not much to say about the characters at this point, since it's too early. The main character is a classic shounen protagonist, somewhat similar to Luffy in my opinion, since he is quite strong, confident and immature, yet has those few moments where he exhibits unexpected maturity. There is a relatively large cast of characters, but most of them haven't got enough time yet, so I can't comment on them. Two people that stand out are his two childhood friends. They have been fleshed out quite well for the time being. ART: In the beginning the art was average. It wasn't bad, but it left no impression on me. I'm happy to say that lately I have seen steady improvement and certain panels, where the mangaka "flexes his muscles", were very impressive. I can see this turning in a very good looking manga in the future. (I'm not in the position to write a paragraph about enjoyment yet. This is too early to judge) OVERALL: I think this series shows a lot of promise and I hope it turns into something great. However, I can't be sure about it for two reasons: First of all, it hasn't got much attention. That's very scary, since this could indicate a premature cancelling of this series, which would be a huge shame. Secondly, I feel that, while it has the potential to become a relatively popular series in SJ, there is also a high chance of the author making a mistake developing the story, due to not following any paved path. This means that there is a high risk of it crashing and burning. Ultimately, I feel this deserves more attention and would definitely recommend that you check it out. Edit: Well, it got axed. Sad, but expected I guess.

Revenge Game review
I will first start by saying the idea this story is trying to make is a little better than the general death game idea. A group of students are forced to kill each other or die one by one by the hands of the person they bullied. The problem comes from how it is made in the story. The motivation of the bullied kid doesn't have enough weight and is quickly explained within half of a page. None of the students seem redeemable or have enough growth to feel like they deserved this. The story feels rushed and if you are looking for good death
game stories, you best look elsewhere.

Big Order review
Big Order is a manga by the same author as Mirai Nikki, and it's very easy to see the resemblances not only in the art style, but in the characters and story as well. It's kind of like a combination of Mirai Nikki, Code Geass, and Devil Survivor 2. This review contains several references to those shows, but there are no spoilers for them either. Currently only 11 chapters are translated.
Story - 8/10 I found the plot to be a little confusing at times, but I can still explain it pretty well. The world has many people called "Orders" who each have a different power based on whatever wish they initially made to a mysterious being called "Daisy." These orders started appearing many years ago, but the most famous and infamous of them all is the protagonist, Hoshimiya Eiji, who is known for the "Destruction of the world." Ten years ago, Eiji made a wish which led to the world beginning to kind of fall apart. Countless people lost their lives, and he has since become hated and feared worldwide. But all Eiji really wants to do is protect his step-sister, Sena. For a while, Eiji was just acting like a normal high school boy who skipped class often. One day a new girl named Kurenai Rin transfers into Eiji's class. For the first time in his life, Eiji thinks he is falling in love with someone. But, if you've read Mirai Nikki, you know there's no way the female lead of this manga that resembles it so much could be normal. But don't think Rin is a complete clone of Gasai Yuno either, she's actually quite different. Anyway, later that day, Rin shows up outside of Eiji apartment saying that she just moved in above him, but she lost her key. When he lets his guard down, Rin tries to kill Eiji. It turns out ten years ago, Eiji's wish kill both of Rin's parents. She has been searching for him for years, has finally found him, and now wants to kill him. Rin attempts to kill Eiji, but he escapes. In the process, he also finds out that Rin is an Order with a power that allows her to regenerate her body making her invincible. Rin goes to the hospital Eiji's sister, Sena, is at and kidnaps her in order to draw Eiji out. She also has troops and a helicopter with a machine gun waiting at the hospital to kill him. In order to save Sena, Eiji finally uses his Order power which he has not used in ten years. That's the one thing I really love about this manga. Eiji's power is one the most creative and unique powers I have seen in a long time. He has a power that marks his territory anywhere he goes, and only other Orders like Rin can see it. Anyone or anything that is inside his territory can be controlled by him through this strange creature that appears every time he uses his power. By using his power, he forces Rin to do several things: Not kill him or Sena and to stay within his territory at all times. As much as Rin hates this, it has now become physically impossible for her to kill him. After this, the organization that Rin works for called Dazaifu led by Hiiragi and nine other Orders are revealed. Their plan is to help Eiji gain world domination, which ties in with his wish that he made to Daisy ten years ago. But that doesn't mean the organization, and Hiiragi specfically, is really on his side. Character - 7/10 Now it's time for a Big Order/Mirai Nikki comparison - Hoshimiya Eiji = Amano Yukiteru + balls - Kurenai Rin = Gasai Yuno - the love + revenge against protagonist - Daisy = Murmur + Deus ex Machina (there's not much explained yet about her and some mysterious other person/being though) - Dazaifu + Eiji + Rin = 12 diary holders - Hiiragi (this may be a little bit of a stretch) = Akise Aru - Heavy Rockstar = Uryuu Minene The character designs, especially for Eiji and Rin, are fairly similar to those from Mirai Nikki as well. Eiji really has a bit of Lelouch Lamperouge mixed into him as well. His desire to save Sena resembles Lelouch's desire to save Nunally, but Eiji is far less flamboyant and charismatic. Rin, unlike Yuno to Yuki, does not love Eiji. She only goes along with him because she cannot kill him due to his power, but that does not stop her from trying. She only protects him so because she will not let anyone other than her kill Eiji. Hiiragi is really a bit of a mix between Akise Aru and Yamato from Devil Survivor 2. His motives are unclear for keeping Sena hostage and helping to preserve her life from her life-threatening disease. Eiji does not trust him, and I can't blame him. Daisy is the mysterious being who resembles a girl kind of like C.C. (another Code Geass reference). not much is known about her of the other being with her except that she goes around the world granting people's wishes and turning them into Orders with special powers. Art - 7/10 Being by the same mangaka as Mirai Nikki, the art obviously is extremely similar. Some fighting scenes are a little hard to follow, but the emotions portrayed by the characters in this dark manga are wonderfully portrayed. Not much to really say, if you like Mirai Nikki's art style, you'll like this and vice verse if you don't. Enjyoment - 7/10 The story is a little confusing at times and the large character cast of the Dazaifu is somewhat confusing. Only around 5 or 6 of the ten Dazaifu Orders have even been showed so far aside from just giving their name and showing them alongside everyone else. Pros: - Eiji's power is awesome and he's not a wimp (personally I like Yukiteru despite that fact, but just saying) - Rin is not quite as good as Yuno so far, but is still a great female lead - The art is good in darker scenes - Character designs are good despite some not being that original Cons: - While it has elements of Mirai Nikki and Code Geass in the story, it has Devil Survivor 2's confusing plot elements mixed in - Fighting scenes are sometimes confusing - Large character cast for only 11 chapters that has not been fleshed out yet If you like any of the three anime/manga that I have compared Big Order to, then I suggest reading this. It may be a little confusing, but hopefully that will change as the story progresses.

Mousugu Shinu Hito review
Everything you thought about the harem genre to be destroyed in one manga.
This manga has an exceptionally dark story line that has a mix of mystery together with the story. I would describe this manga as something really 'messed up'. People breaking down and losing control of their logical thinking and going to extremes to survive. In other words, the story is much like a 'death game' story where everyone will stake everything to survive. Character developments are well done. The characters change and adapt through the course of the story and have interesting backgrounds. Its a story that keeps you engaged and wanting to know what will happen next and how the characters will continue to change, for better or worse. So if you're up for an extremely dark and disturbing, psychological manga, then this is for you.

Nidome no Yuusha wa Fukushuu no Michi wo Warai Ayumu review
STORY: It's basically Shield Hero, but the foundation isn't as good as the start of Shield Hero. They just skipped to the part where he got killed, I hope they add some stuff first like how he was deceived. Hence it's only a 7.
ART: It's fine, the gore is there and I can feel the intensity. 9/10 CHARACTER: This is the path that I wish Naofumi took in Shield Hero, not the Hero kind. Even the sidekick is a twister raphtalia. 10/10 ENJOYMENT :8/10 too early to judge since it's still quite early,but it's very good so far. OVERALL: 8/10, i'd recommend this is if you tokyo ghoul and shield hero

Hot Gimmick review
Don't read this. It's not worth it, even as a "it's so bad it's good" type of read, and, if you're the sort of person who was interested in the premise due to it sounding like it'd appeal to bdsm tastes: it doesn't get that far, so this manga isn't even that good for that.
If anything, this manga is a cautionary tale of what happens if you have no spine and let people push you around. A story like that by itself isn't bad and in fact can be interesting, however it's extremely tone deaf and almost insultingly predictable, it's a very typical "jerk guy and doormat girl," taken to its worst levels. It reads like a bad y/n wattpad story. If that's your thing, then you'll like this story, otherwise, steer clear. I will concede and say that the art is appealing, the character designs fit each character well.

Hatsujou Material review
wow. my first review... here we go.
this manga is not the kinda thing i read. it's a love story and thats not my cup of tea but hear me out this manga is good on a funny way. the manga is about a playboy that can get into any girl pants he wants. (lucky, i wish i lived in mangaland) one day he see a girl and wants in her pants and he gets shoot down. the playboy is, at this point pissed and will do anything to get the only girl to ever turn him down. this manga was fun for me to read. i really liked the offbeat-ness of it all. i hate the shojo art but a fun story kinda makes up for it. it was really short coming in at 1 volume with 5 chapter but i feel the shortness is a good thing not a bad one. i really like the story, it was funny and kinda dare i say....cute? i'm a manly mans man and like to watch stuff blow the hell up real good but it was good to read a love story that was very well done and not over-the-top lovely-dovey. so if you can get passed the bad artwork, you'll find a little hidden gem and a great read. and yes, i really did read this and like it. a solid manga that pulls in a 7 to of 10.
