Hello lovely manga readers! I wanna keep my writing skills sharp, so I've decided to start doing regular manga reviews on a blog, with the intention of trying to get more people to read great manga that's not quite well known to the mainstream public. My personal choices would be stuff like 1/2 Prince, Onani Master Kurosawa, Life, etc.

So, my request is, if you're bored and have nothing to do, please go to my lists and find something you think is worthy of a good review! Anything from my Complete List, Completed (18+), Reading List, and On Hold List are all game. Recommend as many as you want! Novels are alright too.

If there's a manga I haven't read that you think really needs more attention and a good review, tell me and I'll see if I like it. 🙂 I'll link my reviews back here for anyone who wants to see them.

Thank you all!

EDIT:
A new review goes up every weekend, usually Sunday. 🙂

Done so far:
Nickelodeon review
Hotel review
Cheese in the Trap review
From Far Away review
Hibi Chouchou review
Olimpos review
Horimiya review
1/2 Prince review
Legend of Sun Knight review
I'm Not in Love With a Sea Dweller review
Those Who Chase the Butterfly review
Eclipse Hunter review
Liar Game review
Shino-chan Can't Say Her Own Name review

Thank you~! Those are all awesome suggestions, will definitely be using some.

It took me a while, but I finally got my website set up. 🙂 Nickelodeon review can be read here.

I'm planning a review for Hotel next, then Cheese in the Trap. It'll be updated at least weekly. Feedback is awesome if you happen to be really extremely bored with absolutely nothing else to do.

works on Hotel review now

Why don't you submit your reviews on this site as well? They'll be more useful here than anywhere else.

I'd suggest:
A Boy Who Fishes Dreams
Olimpos
Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai (TSUZUKI Setsuri)
Ai ni Yuku

I love all the reviews you've done so far! I can't seem to find a 'follow' button anywhere...

Those suggestions sound great! I'll use some of them next. 8D

Thank yoouuu! I never actually considered needing a follow button before...I'm revamping my site to Wordpress, so once that's done, I'll make sure to add one! I'll tell you when I finish, but hopefully it'll be done within a week or two. 8,D

Whether you think of this as a joke, Ichigo mashimaro. It'd certainly be an interesting one.

Thank you for more suggestions! 😀 I haven't read Ichigo Mashimaro before, but it looks cute, I'll check it out.

Hibi Chouchou review is up by the way. I forgot to mention, I update every weekend (usually Sunday).

I've been trying to learn PHP so I can adapt my site to Wordpress...It's coming along slowly...I got so distracted I hadn't even thought about which manga to review next. DX But I think I'll go with Olimpos, can't resist that 5/5 art~

EDIT:
Olimpos review is up. 🙂 Hmm, I think I'll do Horimiya next.

Horimiya review is up! What to do next...

Ack, forgot to mention a 1/2 Prince review is up! I might only be able to do series I know really well until the RL workload eases up. 🤢 Actually, I'm thinking of doing a special author feature since I know Yu Wo's works fairly well.

Legend of Sun Knight review is up! And now:
I'm Not in Love With a Sea Dweller review
Those Who Chase the Butterfly review
Eclipse Hunter review
Liar Game review
Shino-chan Can't Say Her Own Name review
