Following Kentaro Miura's announced death I felt the need to just share what his life's dedication has done for me personally.
There are many reviews on Berserk which will be much more analytical and more in-depth about how Berserk deserves the title of the best manga of all time. Rather than that, Berserk and what it means to me is something dear to my heart. There are not many things in the world that can impact me as a person, something like being in a relationship, but for a piece of literature to change and impact me is something only a masterpiece like Berserk could do.

Yes, the characters are definitely generic and fall into tropes, but that doesn't ruin the entirety of the series at all.
I personally find the story to be entertaining, even if I know the author is intentionally creating drama through misunderstandings of its characters. I mean, the whole point of the manga is that there's a group of teenagers who live in the dorm, who want to know more about each other while also juggling secrets between them (obviously being that they live stream). When people come into reading a manga with the mindset of "oh i hate tsundere tropes, they annoy me", then of ...

this manga was one of the more enjoyable isekai's i've read.
an isekai where the MC is given the "evil" trait, and acts on it, without just blatantly trying to be edgy and ruining a sense of what makes a believable or an enjoyable character. the story is clear (and obviously ongoing), with some complexity in terms of other nations which will be further explored in the future and a growing nation and ideologies within it. the characters aren't just tropes and are genuinely enjoyable for what the series offers. it's also enjoyable to see the characters interact with each other. the MC is incredibly unique in ...

Another cheat skill ecchi genderbend isekai, another day.
This one is another generic genre, but it's relatively enjoyable. There is a bit of ecchi, but it's not overloaded (...yet) The art is clean and easily recognizable as a fantasy manga and the MC is relatively likeable and generic. The character designs aren't anything noteworthy so far. It's always somewhat enjoyable to see an OP character relaxing in the middle of nowhere not realising their own power, but it's a bit too overdone and now it's not anything special. It helps that this manga doesn't take itself seriously and drops some lighthearted jokes sometimes.

Sweet manga that made me re-evaluate whether I want a human gf or not.
This manga is a sweet, lighthearted, fluffy and quite comedic romance manga which doesn't take long to get into. The characters aren't anything special, but they are very easy to get into. I found myself not liking some of the character designs at the beginning, but they eventually got used to them. The art is nice, there wasn't really a time I found a panel ugly or unpleasant to look at. The enjoyment is definitely the main highlight of reading this manga, seeing a couple's odd relationship continue to grow is all I could ...

Another day, another Cheat Skill manga with an absurdly long name.
But in all reality, this manga is just another slight cliche manga, with nice art and a bit too generic pool of characters. Characters feel more like tropes rather than anyone to care about, and the MC is rather forgettable. The story is pretty generic so far, and I doubt it plans on becoming anything special as it updates. One good thing this manga offers is a surprising amount of fluff, there are some cute moments in this manga. And the artwork is very clean for such a basic manga. Character designs are pretty generic fantasy but they ...

Tomb Raider King

Tomb Raider King has always been enjoyable, from its characters and the comedy to some of the action scenes in this manga. The art is consistently nice to look at as well.
However, while it's enjoyable, it does have it's flaws. Constant complaints about the author abandoning powers after just recently introducing them, repetitive villains that keep coming back and sometimes a lack of drive. Regardless, it's great to see characters interact with their companions and seeing some parts of history being explained and imagined in the way of the relic. Overall, the focus was never the story or super in-depth characters, but more of the experience of ...

Quite possibly what is known as one of the top crime detective manga out there.
Ouroboros is filled with a diverse character list and clashing motives. When people have such huge motives, what will happen when someone goes against them? The story is a long string of complexities, all of which have their small branching stories and interesting moments. Each character gets time to show what they believe in, and justify their way of living before it is compared to another character's, and the climax is seeing who's justification for being alive was better. The art is always clean and allows each character to look distinct. Thugs with ...

Another day, another isekai.
A king reincarnates into a girl's body with all of his holy power intact in a world unknown to him. This is quite a cliche battle junkie manga, where the MC is searching for stronger opponents to fights and on the journey fixes any problems that arise. The art is really clean and is consistently nice to look at. The manga is somewhat enjoyable and has some fluff moments, but not worth rereading or anything. The characters are somewhat generic but are designed/drawn nicely which helps keep it enjoyable. ...

This is one of those mangas where it's so sweet that you'll probably contract diabetes and throw up rainbows.
But in all seriousness, this manga is just about misunderstandings and how they can cause cute situations. You do not need to care about shogi in the slightest to like this manga. The art is always professional and clean, making the manga panels always nice to look at. The characters are done really well, I turned the chapters thinking I'd never like a character, and maybe 10 chapters later I'm already calling them cute and caring about them. Each character follows a certain trope and never betrays it. This ... |
