The Youngest Princess

Art is somewhat lacking, the princess is not cute at all. She's supposed to be the most powerful mage in the world, but conveniently cannot use her powers. She's not really that intelligent. I'm a little bored by this writing. It's not fleshed out and not that enjoyable to read. The best parts of the webtoon are her interactions with her new brothers and father, and that's the only reason this gets 3 stars from me.

The art is really pretty and the story is tear-inducing. I love how the heroine is always struggling against her fate, and you can see her succeeding somewhat, since she manages to sway the Prince's heart with her persistence. I think out of all the male love interests, the Prince is the right one for her, despite having treated her so poorly in her past life. I just wish she could become stronger and be able to stand on her own more, instead of relying on the males to save her all the time. Update: I have reached the end, it was meh. Not worth the journey. They end up happily ever after without much conflict, and it just wasn't satisfying. Personally, I don't give a crap that she chose the prince, but it felt like his competition didn't even try, which is what irked me the most. Allendis disappeared after the first half, with only occasional pictures of him to remind you that he still exists somewhere. Carsein was never that great of a romantic partner, he's too upbeat and more like a friend, so it wasn't going to happen, but come on, he just parts ways with her like that? I don't buy it. Everything wrapped up too quickly, and it wasn't believable. I don't think the Prince and Aristia earned their happy ending. While it's true he didn't commit any of those horrible things from the first life, he hasn't done anything to redeem himself properly in this life, either.

I am a child of this house

The first half of the story was very touching, but the main lead grew up too fast and became overpowered. It no longer focuses on the interaction between her and her new family, and it's quickly leaning towards a romance between her and her first knight... For that, I'll be docking a star. Update: It's getting too melodramatic. I don't like this webtoon anymore. Too much weeping and whining and nothing happening.

Noragami

One of the best manga I've read, the anime is also great. It's going dark very steadily, as I've always suspected it will. Honestly, I think this manga will have a tragic ending. Hiyori is slowly taking a backseat in the story, and it's focusing more on Yato & Yukine & Father. I hope Hiyori will be able to take the spotlight again soon, since her interaction with the other main characters is what makes this story work so well in the past.

The Titan's bride

It's pretty awful and the art is not that great. Story is nonsensical and I don't know why the two male leads are attracted to each other.

Assassination Classroom

Complete | MATSUI Yuusei | 2012 released

Koro-sensei is a truly unique and iconic character. The supporting cast is not always used to its full potential. The only real distinctive members of the class are Nagisa and Karma. Also the love interest for Nagisa, but I forgot her name since she was mostly a background character. The ending is bittersweet. Sometimes I wish they spend more time with the whole classroom and their crazy antics rather on the killing aspect. It's overall a great manga, but it doesn't make it into my absolute favorites.

Yu Yu Hakusho

This manga is really good, but the author ran out of ideas near the end, sadly. I'm not a fan of how this ended, but it's worth reading just for the whole section up to the Dark Tournament. The beginning where Yusuke becomes a good person and realizing the impact of his death on his friends is very touching, and it made me cry.

Restraining order of Ant

Ongoing | Chong Chong Jia Jia,Wuya Sanbu | 2000 released

I'm so conflicted about this webtoon. The art is one of the best I've seen, but the plot is one of the worst. It's like someone took a trip while high and starting writing about their visions. Nothing makes sense and it ends abruptly. Such a waste of good art. Thankfully, the sequel is a little bit better.

Great humorous side stories for Noragami. Beautiful art, as always. I don't think there are any more chapters for this title, since it's a short collection.

Noragami - Clash of The Gods of Calamity

Ongoing | ADACHI Toka | 2000 released

It's a nice short side story that explains the ending of the first season of the anime. I think there's only two chapters? Beautiful art as always.
