The art is just breathtaking. Colourful but in a melancholic way. I know it’s weird, but it gives off the same feeling as a rainy afternoon. A beautiful dark and even twisted at times story, spread with mystery elements. **may contain spoiler continue with caution** I didn’t expect the twist at all. It really caught me off guard and I wasn’t prepared for it at all. I felt empty inside after reaching the end of the story. I was totally heartbroken for the life Zach lead. It really gets to you. I need to read a comedy right now to cheer myself up!

Reading this manga was a wild and emotional ride. The premise is quite simple, man goes back in time to rescue his classmate and fix an injustice. BUT it is so well executed and meticulously thought out down to every little detail. During the second part of the story, this turns into a battle of wits. Two men fighting for their own cause, one to protect his loved ones and let justice prevail, whilst the other to justify his insane worldview and his sickening actions. Just genius! It has everything I personally look for in a story • mystery, interesting plot, lovable characters. At this point I must add that the mother is by far my favorite character. She is strong, independent, intuicive, thoughtful and caring. She deserves the world, really. A wholesome and heartwarming story! A true masterpiece!

The Abandoned Empress

Complete | Ina, yuna | 2000 released

I'll try to be objective with this one. *Spoilers ahead, continue with caution * So the main lead is the queen (second to the empress) and is being hated by the emperor, because in his eyes she has received more affection from the people he had desperately yearned affection from. So, he is cruel to her! He actually rapes her, redicules her every chance he gets and eventually executes her and her family. The protagonist turns back in time and has the chance to rewrite her story. She chooses a different path, works hard and becomes quite accompliced, making friends and having beautiful interactions along the way, including two lovable boys who fall in love with her. So far so good. That part of the story was excellent in my opinion. I enjoyed every moment! Unfortunately she rejects the kind hearted men who approach her and ends up with the cruel emperor, who through the twist of events, changed and came to love the protagonist, but again he remains the same man who was capable of such cruelty in the past. He wasn't under any spell, everything he did was out of his own volition. And now for the true tragic heroine the original empress, the one from the first time line. She was transferred into this world by accident and was told to marry the emperor. She didn't know anything about this new world but somehow she managed. After a few years of marriege she got neglected by her husband, abandoned by him, after giving birth to his child, and eventually murdered. In addition to that she got back in time only to be transfered into this strange world again. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. *Spoiler free zone * There are some major plot points I consider deeply problematic but I cannot ignore the fact that this was an enjoyable read. It had its fair share of drama, adventure and decent amount of funny scenes that made me giggle. So all in all I believe that this is a good story with some flaws. If one is willing to see past them, then give this a try.

An extremely dark storyline, handsomely executed in my opinion. We were introduced to the character's backgrounds and we could fully understand their motives and reasoning for their actions. This should be a given in any manga, but unfortunately it is not and thus I have to acknowledge it whenever I see it. Great sequence and rhythm between the scenes. There was not any dull or even unecessary plot point. The art was also quite beautiful. Though, I think that there was more to be be said considering the type of story this is. I wish there were more chapters. 4/5

OMG THE LAST CHAPTER!!! i need to know if there is going to be a sequel to Sweet Home . There is so much more to this story !! Anyway, I liked Shotgun Boy more than sweet home. I have no idea why. Maybe because it explained more as to why the monsters came to be. Nonetheless both Shotgun Boy and Sweet Home are definitely worth the hype! I just wish to see the characters from both stories fight together the monsters. Is that too much to ask ?

This is one of the few mangas that actually gets more interesting during the second half of the story. Don’t get me wrong it’s pretty good from the very beginning, it just gets better later on. I really loved Bastard and Pigpen, so I had pretty high expectations for Sweet Home and I wasn’t disappointed! I would love to see a sequel to Sweet Home, as there are a lot of things open for interpretation. It would be great if we got to explore the premise of the evolving humans and furthermore the universe of the story after the first few weeks of the monster apocalypse.

Having read Glen I had pretty low expectations for this and.... I was right to do so. It had potential but in the end it's just another boring story without any particular interesting aspects to it. I feel that the sacrifice of the pink haired girl has no impact to the reader, because the the author hasn't done a good job developing the characters and establishing their relationship. Random things happening at random. Waste of time. It's a pity since the art is so beautiful in all of the author's works.

It had potential to be interesting. I mean, jealous omega plots a rape against another omega, who ends up being marked in the process. Drama, drama, drama! The execution though was not good, or at least lacking in more ways than one. There weren't enough scenes to establish the connection between the uke and the seme, who was more like a side character that made appearances here and there. He had no personality and no back story. Their ending up together and talking about love felt forced. Also, the evil omega's boyfriend showed up to apologozise and claimed the mc was his fated pair? What the fuck was that? Totally unnecessary plot point. As for the second story, I am not into polygamous relationships or alpha x aplha stories, so I am clearly not the target audience here. Not going to read this again, but if you really have nothing else to read this is decent enough to kill some time if your afternoon plans get canceled!
