axima's manga / #Shounen(20)

Dungeon Seeker

Complete | Sakamoto 666,Mizukiyoshi Juro | 2000 released

Got through a bit more than half so thought I'd leave a review. It seems promising but then they start introducing people stronger than mc which is a no-no for power fantasies, and it tries to get all deep in the ending.

I was Sold at the Lowest Price in My Class, However My Personal Parameter is the Most Powerful

Ongoing | Ryoma,Cambria bakuhatsu tarou | 2019 released

I don't dig mecha but I'd actually like to see more. MC seems like a rly cool and upstanding dude without being one of those 0 personality horndogs you normally get. Edit: Dropped, got bored.

Resurrection of the Catastrophic Hero

Ongoing | Lee ho-yeon,Park do-hyun , redice studio | 2019 released

Not MC calling his best friend by the wrong name for so long he stops correcting him. Hugo and Taeksoo aren't even similar. My favs are the ones where MC was a bigshot, then comes back without any time reverse so he's just like "ey guys I'm not dead" then wreaks havoc. This one apparently isn't even made for combat but production, but still has the most raw power. We haven't yet delved in to the consequences of all his shit being up for grabs due to his deceased status and I can't wait. EDIT: Grammar, where art thou? EDIT 2: Istg almost every manhwa with multiple seasons is actually 1 season split at random because it sounds better than "indefinite hiatus"...

The Player Hides His Past

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Ditch that normal fucker inside of the crazy MC and it's perfect. Who cares about some average joe cringing at the cool guy in charge of the body? He's hot, gets strong fast, has OP skills (not like system skills, he's just built different). I wish he'd show off more though. He's not hiding his power but he's utterly uninterested in showing it sadly and nobody else has gotten around to finding him and asking questions.

The 18 Year Old Spy

Ongoing | 김주인 | 2019 released

It's been so long since I started this I don't even remember much. The action I think was pretty fire but the other charas are very meh? I don't recall a whole lot of time spent at the school even though he's a student. I don't care about him saving his sister or anything but the thing with that one girls dad was cool.

Everyone Regressed Except Me

Ongoing | Writing | 2022 released

I was gonna give this a 5 but the loli ruined it. It's kinda dumb that everybody has it out for MC like he's the only player who was strong before regression but what about the other 20 that entered the final dungeon too?? Like why is it fine for all of them to get even stronger than before by stealing MC's shit if it's equality you're after? And anyway 1000s of weaker players getting random op stuff that used to be mcs is still a downgrade to having one really strong person that knows how to take full advantage of it. The way other characters keep literally being given cheats just so they can catch up to MC is irritating af idk who thought this would be fun, and I mean literal cheats like the monsters themselves are helping the loli BC apparently it's fine for anyone other than MC to be OP. As for why I hate her, she gets everything handed to her, and her personality sucks. I know shes older because regression but wtf is this weird crush situation? Not to mention her thinking she's the shit when really she might as well be useless, even though MC flip flops between pointing out that she's weak and acting like her abilities really do something. Last chap her only job was to stay outside the gate but of course noooo she knows better so she went in after MC. I'm sure she'll ride his coattails here too and think she's so amazing and helpful. Her showing up decreased the difficulty of the gate because again literal cheats but this is just straight up worse because now MC can't level up by killing the high level monsters, he has to sit on his ass with a couple goblins for 3 hours instead.

My Exclusive Tower Guide

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Not loving MC's abilities but the personality is interesting. Not quite full on altruist but still weirdly forgiving and willing to help. The tower itself is pretty cool even though I generally prefer gates, in this one each floor has a different objective and the whole group is stuck in it together. EDIT: It got good for a short while but then they had to introduce the murderer woman and ruin it. She plans to kill everybody but then has all the generic FL traits/scenes it's giving tonal whiplash and MC is stupid for not killing her right away. Dropped.

Tokyo Aliens

Ongoing | Naoe | 2019 released

I only read the first volume but I just had to come here and say it's really gay. I'm telling u this is ship material I smell the BL baiting from a mile away. Had to check the tags and still they'd better make it canon. Gotta love the last page of volume 1 providing some fanservice of my man Sho. I'm surprised this was published under shounen since those usually don't try to cater to a female audience much and this got 0 panty shots just hot and cute men doing cool things and being a little homo along the way. Art is really good I love it.

Angel Densetsu

Complete | Yagi Norihiro | 1992 released

I read this years ago and forgot so I never got to rating. All I know is I thought the comedy was excellent. The romance is so minimal I'm not sure it deserves to get tagged but it was a little cute ig.

Phantom Busters

Ongoing | | 2022 released

It's not afraid to have a little fun and the comedy is great. The characters are the highlight, they're all quite interesting. It's cute how they really do feel like close friends. Glad to see a shounen MC that has a bit more going on than just being ambitious and selfless. He's a great guy yet can still be lazy or blunt at times, feels more like a real person.
