[Specialty: Hope + Mystery + Plot]
This series is interesting, it started off with something like a game like "Chaosic Rune", and was quite tragedic. However, it steered away from the dark path that "Freezing" took, which was constantly filled with tragedies. From chapter 2 or 3 onwards I began feeling that it would be one of my fav adventure-filled series.
Note:Abt 55 pages for first chapter, after that abt 40 and abv.
Story:10
I give 10 for story+potential and 9 for story up till now.
The story is quite interesting. It reminds me of many different storylines I've read b4,

A quick note at the start, I have only read 10 chapters of this manga up to this point as that's all that I can find currently. So this will be more of a first impressions rather than a review. That being said lets begin.
Shitsurakuen is a rather strange manga that I've had a hard time deciding whether I actually like it or not. The premise is pretty original (in a ways) and the characters seem likable enough, but something in the back of my mind keeps telling me I shouldn't be liking this. It is kind of hard for me to put my finger ...

A story with so much promise it fills me with regret every time I remember its beginning and rage when I remember its ending.
I really enjoyed about 90% of the story. The art is good; it never felt awkward or lacking; nor did it impress me though. The characters were strong and vibrant; they really sold the world they inhabited. As for enjoyment, if you can read the whole story, chances are that you will either love it or hate it. Its not the kind of story you can read without caring about one way or another. It made my heart race with anxiety, anger, despair ...

Okay, let me explain my scoring.
I love the art, it's a pretty fresh take on the 'harem' genre (it's rare to find harems centered around a female character), and most of the characters are pretty interesting, even if they start off as stereotypes. It does borrow HEAVILY from Utena, however, in terms of themes, a fairytale Greek chorus, and mechanics of the game played at the school, but it does switch it up enough to not be boring. There's also comparatively less fanservice than most harem manga. However, there's a lot of things wrong with this manga, and 99% of them have to do with ...

minor spoilers, mostly for the dumb ass ending
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * when abusers cry that they're the real victims and the author paints them as victims of society is where i draw the f**king line -forced to write a longer review, the ending is actually legitimately trash, glorifies self victimization and says it's ok to be a massive abusive piece of sh*t bc lol we live in a society, romanticises forgiving people who prolly shouldn't be forgiven just like that, no further questions taken at this time Art was pretty cute, though to ...

The story of this manga is based on "Paradise Story" which is often included in the story and well-made to cover the whole events in the story.
This manga is having a slow start and will leave you different perception more you dwell with the story. It's not a simple one but full of surprise and deep thought. The art is greatly drawn and kept like that until the end. Characters, battles, and events are drawn nicely throughout the series. Throughout the story, I don't like how they abuse the girls in the story, making my enjoyment so low but more you know story, this story ...

Alright i have three words for anyone who likes this manga "Revolutionary Girl Utena" the story line and many other plot devices remind me so much of this older anime. I always loved Utena and Sora reminds me so much of this I can hardly wait for each chapter to be released. Anyway id say that this is a must read.

This story was promising from the start and almost till the end but just an abrupt ending. I won't say they were wrong it had abrupt ending but just hit the intended the spot in me.
So, about the manga. It was promising, interesting and till the end. The story was changing as the volumes were passing by and almost completely changed at the end, appreciation to the author for that. The ending was unexpected and a bit abrupt but as I said it hit the right spot. It do had harem vibes but it is mostly subtextious from my side not sure for all. A good ...

Feminism is one that this manga trying to bring, although not deeply being conveyed, as it is being shadowed by the premise of action, with this, the manga perhaps bring us to another perception that gender being the problems. Although that, the manga still considerable for the readers, but not for the one that had bias for it, although it is already being hinted it is shoujo ai.
For the plot in this story, basically it is the usual power up, love, although it is a bit swaying romance, it is trying to tell about how the domination of one gender toward the others trough a ...

To sum up Shitsurakuen: girls are just objects, guys are dicks.
Just imagine a story based on this, but instead of the girls being used sexually, they are being used as "weapons" in some bizarre game. The guys collect girls in some sort of weapon harem and only the guys that "own" their "weapon" can touch them. This is the premise and it doesn't get much better. The main character, despite being a girl somehow is one of the "knights" like the guys and isn't classed as a weapon. So she jumps in all SUPER GENGKI and saves the day by saving all the girls ...

Story (3): It has a somewhat good premise going on, but it reminds me to much of other mangas like Soul Eater with the girls turning into weapons and the masters being the boys. It's a girl battling against sexism and bias in a school where girls are seen as nothing as tools, sounds like some feminist ideology to be honest, and that's not why I'm giving it such a low score. I did like what the first few chapters told, but as soon as it kept going, it got confusing, dull, a chore to read through and the ending just leaves us with too
