Basilisk

Complete | Yamada Fuutarou | 2003 released

I see comments saying this manga was confusing or hard to grasp but it's a pretty simple story to grab hold of. It seems complicated because of all the names/backstories of each character they introduce (20+ in only a few volumes = tons of information) but don't let your attention be swayed by that. Just understand that at the start of the story the two clans Kouga and Iga that warred for 1000 years and were forced to form a truce are now given free reign to fight again. Now these clans seemed to be getting on fine and two ninjas (one from each clan) were in love and were scheduled to be married a few days after the truce ended up being dissolved. So the whole story is following how the relationship between the two clans (and by proxy, the lovers) dissolves over the course of a couple of days simply because of the war-mongering nature of the ninja. It's pretty interesting to read and the action scenes -of which there are many- are well drawn.

Not bad? Missing a chapter and the stories aren't the best but I like the art style.

It was an interesting concept and great art, but I just couldn't get into the story somehow.

Honey Bunny

Complete | Ikuemi Ryo | 2000 released

Didn't like it. The guy was an asshole in the beginning and an asshole at the end and the girl selfishly chased after him like an idiot. And I'm certainly not taking his side, but if someone explicitly tells you to leave them alone and that you're a bother, selfishly trying to force your feelings onto them isn't love; it's an unhealthy obsession. I just couldn't find anything to like about this manga, unfortunately.

Chibi Vampire

Complete | kagesaki yuna | 2003 released

I'm giving this a rare 5 stars because of the way this manga allowed us to connect to the characters, particularly to Karin's family. I adore the end of this manga, where we got to see just how deep their love for Karin went (it makes me tear up every time T_T). But this is a story I would absolutely read again, despite seeming to target a younger demographic than me

This was nice. It was a bit sad, though, that they could only reunite in death but I guess it's good they all got to be together again?
