HEN

Description

From MangaProject:
Chizuru Yoshida is not your typical high schooler and she's all too aware of it! She has a talent for getting what she wants from her male lovers and often comes across as cold and manipulative. In truth, despite her experiences with guys, she has never been in love. That's until her school's fateful arrival of a newly transferred student, Azumi Yamada. It was love at first sight for Chizuru. Indeed an unexpected turn of events for the story's vixen. Not only was she in love, but with all things another girl. Chizuru goes through a brief stage of anger and denial and tries to convince herself that she couldn't possibly be attracted to such a simple-looking, shy and naive Girl. She constantly thinking of Azumi, so she finally resolves to become friends with her, but it's not too long when she starts to push things along with Azumi.

Two straight can be bent together lol

Turning a promiscuous straight girl yuri and for another het girl at that, all in the name of her first love? Takes a-lot of manipulation, and until that point the manga is well done IMO. After that it’s derailed into a disjointed homo simp gender doesn’t matter in love bs that rightly needed to end in their separation and reflection, but ends in the same old we made it in the end. No character development happens so the “happy” end just brings with it as much confusion as the beginning.

its good but

its very good but sometimes boring but still good, and eemm the ending kinda rushed and i feel sad for both satou and Azumi , especially Azumi damn, like u love this person and this person loves u back, announce it to everyone and said that someday they will get married in USA, but then suddenly this person moves school and lost contact to you and you see in tv that person pregnant and will get married with other person, and suddenly comeback again like wtf u take me for? that is that's what Azumi been through lol, just because lack of comunication, thats why comunication is important man- i mean atleast Satou doesn't get false hope and he just catch the feeling in the ending too like Suzuki and Satou doesn't really have anything to tied them down unlike both female couple in here, and Chizuru character kinda trash tho and still sad tho, yeah both of them kinda sad, no its sad.. but the ending in concert kinda touching tho

edit : Damn after read the prequel i very very sad about Satou and Suzuki too like damn damn

Don't jump the gun that easy

Everyone that have read Gantz knows the potential of this autor, even a guy like me that don't like those mangas where the characters can be deleted so easy and most of the ones you like end up in the grave i have to admit it was a very good manga. So, use your brain here before burn the guy alive, i bet my balls the author was not about to finish the manga since he was adding new chars to the story. Prolly due to personal/publisher issues he has to cut it out, you should be thankful it at least have a end, sometimes is not the author who decides when to finish a manga.

However that doesn't have anything to do with your opinions about the manga, they are all very respectable ones and a rushed end is a rushed end no matter how you look at it, but think twice before blame the author cuz prolly he is just another victim.

Hmmm

True to the title, it's a very strange manga. The first half of the manga is pretty interesting, but then it just go down hill from there. The story is sometime good, sometime bad, sometime confusing, and then sometime I just want to delete the whole manga, especially the last volume. If you persevere, the ending wasn't bad, although it wasn't good either. It's just...average. The art is simple, and will probably need sometime getting used to. Overall, unless you don't any any other manga you want to read or if you have to waste, then give this a read. Don't expect too much from it, though.

How did THIS lead to Gantz?

Hen is a textbook example of how NOT to write or even draw a (Seinen) romance. It´s truly unbelievable how every element narrative manages to fail on even the most basic level. The art is downright ugly, the protagonist as an unlikable slut, none of the characters make sense, the continuity is a mess, the sexual elements are all creepy and the laughable ending is badly researched. If you can even call it an ending. I frankly have nothing positive to say and only finished as i couldn't believe how difunctional the series managed to be at every turn. Listen to me and my fellow reviewers and don´t even bother. Stick to Natsu no Zenjitsu (9/10), Zankoku na Kami ga Shihaisuru (8/10) and so on. The previous version of Hen may even be worse than this one btw.

Terrible Manga, not recommended to read.

by Jack_Davis

Rating: N/A

Terrible story, art and characters. Lots of poorly drawn Het sex. Yoshida Chizuru is one of the worst protagonists you'll see in manga. No character development is found here, and whole plot falls apart after ch.63. Simply put, its a Manga you definitely want to avoid.

lets say first half is interesting, half of whats left is kind of readable, last quarter: worthless especially the ending. art is also awkward at times especially ears really put me off. can only be a light read chars have almost no development at all if you have a lot of time in your hands with nothing to do take a look or else just look for something better.

side tracked

At times, I found the artwork awkward. The ears were rather big and some characters looked almost sick from how skiny they were. But it was funny and quite surprising. The characters were good and the plot different. The only thing I'd complain would be the ending. There were presented new characters in the last volumes. Good characters. Interesting. But just as they were presented, the main characters almost disappeared. They would show up here and there, but they were totally side tracked.... And I would have liked to see a little bit more of the aftermath of both couples..

Falls apart 2/3 of the way through the story

by cecropiamoth

In this manga the writer suddenly shifts the focus to a whole new cast of characters from chapter 64 (of 93) on! Why would any writer do that? After all, we HAD spent 63 chapters getting to know those initial characters, and they were all very interesting, IMHO. Readers build up affection for good leading characters as they read, and all but throwing away a set of such characters 2/3 through a story is a recipe for failure

And WHAT characters were introduced! The main one was a guy so tall he looked like someone with the size but not the muscle to be a professional baseball player. In his sheer excess he seemed to be a manifestation of that phenomenon that's almost universal in shoujo that the leading man be super-tall, sometimes grotesquely so. I guess those manga have to give Japanese women what they fantasize about, but why trot out one of the same type of guy in a seinen manga? My understanding that seinen manga are mainly aimed at men in their 20s. Did the publisher of this thing think that a bunch of standard-sized (i.e., medium to short) male Japanese readers were going to enjoy seeing that guy sweep onto the stage and impregnate an a crucially important female character.

As for the big-breasted, manipulative girl, well, aren't there a whole lot of those in the world? Of course there are, and that makes their strategems interesting, and makes even more interesting a depiction of how such a woman might change for the better, which is what we have in the first 2/3 of this manga.

I read this a long time ago, but it still sticks out in my mind as being TERRIBLE. I don't even know how I got through it, honestly. Though it's tagged as yuri, I found many aspects of the plot and characters to be downright homophobic. Some of the characters were completely disgusting, though they were meant to be protagonists. I didn't hate the main girl as much as other reviewers seem to, but there is indeed nothing about any character that makes you want to root for them. The ending didn't even make sense. Don't waste your time with this, trust me.
