Shingeki no Kyojin
Koroshi Ai
Ch.57 I like it, not too much to take in and I like the art NOOO THAT CLIFFHANGER IS THE WORST NOW I HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS ok yeah yeah I got invested a little cuz they made a good team and Nikka, the new side character punk guy that used to be bad but became good, is probably my favorite
Jigokuraku (KAKU Yuuji)
106 I actually got sad when I thought the brother was gonna die but then he got the coolest power up that makes me question why he isnt the mc. Tenza dying still got me tho. I don't know what exactly it is the author did to make me be on the verge of tears every time sensei mentioned he was fighting for Tenza but those chapters near the end with sensei and nurugoi touched my heart. It was the most admirable fight which was the perfect balance to all the "cool" action in this shounen. Fighting all the dieties is so hype. AAAAAAAAAAA EVERYTHING EVERY PART WAS PERFECT AND SO GOOD IN THE SECOND HALF MADE ME TEAR UP SO MANY TIMES AND I LOVE ALL THE MEANINGS AND CONNECTIONS AND REFS AND LESSONS AND DYNAMICS MWAH

things got way more interesting when the familiars were introduced, now it's actually cool action/gore with an eerie aura the whole sexualizing kids things is really gross tho and I have to scroll past that one part of the story around chapter 22 so I can get back to the supernatural...really killed the cool buildup ok so I finished and- Im surprisingly not mad at the ending. I actually felt satisfied and the shitty reason for doing all those shitty things made sense. I'm a little confused on the whole power structure but it didn't matter cuz it's not like you had to really understand the world's rules to enjoy it. This manga would've been 10/10 would recommend to my friends if it wasn't ecchi or had children get involved with adults sexually because the emotions are so raw and powerful, the gory art's insanely cool, and the characters (specifically souichi and osamu) felt really detailed and complex. I'm gonna rate it 4 stars cuz it kinda slacked at the beginning and when we met the other sister (cuz she was too surface level to be interesting) but otherwise I really enjoyed reading it.

Finished it ;-; I'll miss it for sure the art's super ugly-creepy but every 1/20 panels are kinda cool to look at and I like the core idea of the story so Ig Im still reading after the triple h fight (~30) when Jagasaki recenters his desires around bell, manga became a lot more calm which I like. The mc is becoming more pure imo by indulging in things like romance and only fighting to survive but the simultaneous decay of triple h into their cultlike insanity keeps it fun to read. Caught up at 157 and I gotta say after all the heartache, loss, tragedy, suffering, depression, existential crises and such, it's really nice how belle-chan saved jagasaki. It was wholesome and really in character. Sure it seems a little shounen-y but "hero" mc who is in the middle of contemplating his role in the world, his effects of society, if he's good enough, what happiness is etc. vs his girlfriend who has stayed herself since ch.1 coming in with her simplest desire as a reason for him to continue living is a really satisfying solution. I think I'd hate if Jagasaki just came out of winning the fight a worse, more hateful person than before. Now he's white symbolizing purity :) Ending was kind of rushed but Norman was just a good villain and Jagaan had already gone through all his development after him so ig it makes sense.

Really funny webtoon. Had to stop reading for a bit cuz it got to real and relatable to the point that I cried (L on me fr) but yeah just goes to show that it had good drama ig too. But I didn't like it for some clear reasons like mainly, the guy never addressed all those red flags brought up at the start. It was never shown that he actually changed into a decent guy worthy of the FL. So, I ended up spending every single chapter praying on his downfall until I caved and realized it was ending soon. Otherwise it was a nice het romance w drama that I was interested to see what would happen. Also seeing the FL become strong enough to actually start a fight was such a cool character development scene, really shows how confident she's become to stand up for herself. The purity and amazing personality of the FL kept me reading tbh.

exactly what a good manga about art, an artist, and creating should be about it's also so cool how many art references there are and the vast amount of topics the author covers in only 6 chapters. Even as an artist I learned about japanese methods to create art that I've never heard of before. I also learned some art history and in a very non-boring way. The artstyle also shows a lot of emoiton in the characters' eyes.
