Plus Anima

It wasn't bad but the ending was a bit confusing and sudden so it kinda let down the whole story for me. So this was all because of that psycho's weird love for a doll? And how did Cooro call back his +anima? It seems like this needed another chapter or so to actually explain what happened in the last chapter. But the story overall was cute- I never needed to think too deeply about anything so it was pleasant. I do think Senri was absolutely the most developed character and enjoyed his arcs a lot.

Forgot to add to my completed list- whoops! Um...it was alright, I suppose? Though the story was fairly interesting, I don't think I'd reread it (don't really know why).

Aww so disappointed that it ended like that! Must have been axed. The series itself was pretty entertaining, though I wish I could have seen more of him living with accepting his evil but, again, there wasn't much time for anything with how rushed it got at the end. Could have been a fantastic story too...

Super awesome! We get to see a lot of good action, great emotional scenes, sensible character development, and well timed laugh breaks. All in all, this manhwa really hits the spot. I also think it was planned out really well- I can't think of a single wasted chapter. Best part is, the sequel is pretty good as well, so it's like 2 series in 1.

Interesting set up and good development in the MC. I think I've finally discovered the difference between shoujo and shounen (outside of the plot differences) and that is character development! In shoujo, everyone but the MC seems to develop, giving the impression that the MC is just a buffer for other people to improve. In shounen, the character development of the MC has a strong presence throughout the entire manga.

How awful- just when it finally got interesting, they discontinue the manga. Yet action stories that sink into just pandering to perverted audiences with panty shots and nipple peek-a-boos (I'm looking at you HSDK) can find their market. Ugh!

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!

Such a lovely story! I'm surprised it has no comments yet. It was funny, the sports scenes were thrilling, and, despite all the silly comedy, it still made me tear up a few times. I also really loved the friendship between Hiro, Hideo, and Noda (especially Hiro and Hideo). Overall, this is just the sort of manga that makes me think "ah youth!" to myself on a lovely summer day. I was a bit...disappointed(?) with the ending. Or, rather, I would have liked to see a bit more resolution between the whole Koga situation, and their futures and whatnot. Or maybe I just liked it so much I wanted to watch them keep going a while longer lol. Either way...10/10!

Love it! This author has a way of drawing ugly pouty expressions on her characters, but that somehow makes them more endearing :). Not my favorite baseball manga, but it's still a great story
