Ugh, the art for this is horrible. The supposedly beautiful young miss that the main character is going to take care of honestly looks psychotic with her serial killer grin. Not sure if intentional or accidental, with how bad the art detailing is, and the full color palette. The gist of this promo is that an overworked young woman dies during her train ride back home, and winds up being isekai'd into a world of a webnovel where she's a maid of a villainess. Been there, done that. Not creative, not compelling. Unless they change the artist for this if it gets serialized, it's really nothing worth reading.

One of the Big Three, it has great side characters but never manages to do anything with them. It's more character-driven than story-driven, but somehow still fails in the character development aspect. The story itself becomes quite boring, because it's obvious Naruto will win in the end. Still, it's an enjoyable read.

Bleach

One of the Big Three, it was good until after the Rescue Rukia arc, in which it just became a generic shounen chosen one fest. Still worth a read. None of the characters become developed past their introduction, which is a miss.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

Continuation of Boruto, with an obligatory time-skip which makes everything worse. Don't have high hopes for it, but we'll see.

Ayashi no Ceres

One of the worst things written by Yuu Watase. She must be off her rocker thinking this is one of her masterpieces. She thinks she's subverted the romance trope and made the series mature and difficult to understand or a conversation-starter... Please, get over yourself. It's none of those and the scientific stuff was so wishy-washy and unnecessary. She needs to get off her high horse, seeing as she can't write proper romance for shit.
