Hazure Skill

Ongoing | kennoji,araki fuu | 2019 released

Review: I honestly liked this, despite the fact that it has harem. I like the protagonist. He’s overpowered, yet well educated. He gives another definition to the word, “normal”. I like the story and how he wants to live an “ordinary” life. I like how irony is used in this situation. I don’t mind him having s*x as long as it doesn’t affect the plot. For some reason, the female leads didn’t seem too annoying to me.

Assassin de aru ore no Sutetasu ga Yuusha yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi Nodaga

Ongoing | Akai Matsuri | 2000 released

wow this is really good despite the romance subplot. the story feel extremely riveting and i think this is a gret example of “show not tell.” we learn more bout the world as the mc traverses it. plus, the mc’s companions are all relatively likable. the hero’s constantly thinking about the mc lmao. AND I LOVE YORU. anyway, i find the mc’s assassin class cool, and the art is very appealing. but why did the commander have to dieeeee

Really good! I thought it would just be about a hitman, but this slightly delves into a dystopian society. The MC didn’t choose her occupation really. Her identity as a refugee and her unfortunate situation is quite telling of the real world. I wouldn’t confine this manga merely to the genre GL. This is definitely a lot more than just romance (though I wanted more *sniffs*). It’s a comedy, thriller, romance, dystopia all wrapped into one. The themes of morality were also strong here. Despite this not being the longest manga, all the characters are quite nuanced from the MC to her girlfriend’s father, a priest, to the other two hitmen targeting the MC. I almost wish the ending wasn’t so open because I want to know what happens after the conflict is “resolved.” Anyway, awesome read! 11/10 If you haven’t read this yet, what are you doing…
