Mirai Nikki
Hated the two main characters (the main guy was such a pansy about everything) but I still gave it 4 stars for a pretty engaging plot. Although things did get a little...muddled in the last few chapters, there were plenty of interesting twists and turns that made me want to read more. Not to mention, I really loved Akise's character. So so much! Overall good read, though I wouldn't read it again!
Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Episode 1: Legend Of The Golden Witch
Cool. Gonna read the sequel
Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Episode 2: Turn Of The Golden Witch
Hmm..things got a bit confusing in the final chapter and the setup in the beginning was pretty boring, though I understand why the author did it. [Spoiler] I'm curious as to why Battler got back up though? Didn't he already admit defeat? And it's not as if he figured anything out, so does he just want to be tortured again?

So sad to see the good guys die so close to salvation!!!! The beginning with the rats really had me feeling some type of way since it seemed so possible but after random animals kept popping up over and over, I just started getting annoyed. I kinda got the feeling the author just picked whatever animal she wanted to eat people/get in their way just to add more drama. It was like a shorter, less organic version of BioMeat which I really liked (organic in this sense refers to developing the plot naturally rather than forcing it along), but may have been comparable if it were longer and therefore had more time in between infestations so they seemed less sudden/random. An interesting choice to leave the sensei alive at the end, and it certainly made for a nice comical scene to cut up the gut wrenching action up to this point. I also would have preferred to see more character development in the main character but considering the length and action heavy plot, the author did reasonably well with what she had.

Didn't like it very much- maybe the concept was so far fetched I couldn't feel any emotions from it? I didn't really understand why the MC slit her wrists- it's not as if she had homicidal tendencies even in the game so why in real life? Guess it just had to be completed in 2 chapters and that was the easiest way to do it.

Just plain weird. I really wished we'd learned something about what exactly she is but I'm also glad this wasn't any longer than 3 volumes. Aside from a few exceptions, the stories were extremely repetitive so it got tiresome to read pretty early on. She shows up, guys fall for her and get super dark circles, ruins their lives and the lives of the people around them, replicates and then leaves. I did really like that one guy who never fell for her; wished the series focused on him more.
Enigme
It was a great story!Too bad the last 2 chapters got away a bit- it could have been a 10/10! But I liked all of the characters a lot- and the creepiness was overwhelmingly well done. I do kind of wish we had a villain; throughout the story, all the "bad" guys turned good and it felt like at the end, we were just sort of left with "well, that happened...cool. Let's remember now and all be friends!" It just didn't give the feeling of victory I wanted from this manga. But, it's still a super awesome read!
