Listen it's One Piece, one of the best selling most popular franchise ever. Everybody talks about it everybody loves it and they're thousands of people way more researched then me that will give you a laundry lists of reasons as to why this series is one the best stories in the in world.

What I want to talk about is how despite me adoring everything there is to this series, I feel in the recent years it has taken a massive shift in the wrong direction and is rapidly losing what made it special. Let me ask you a simple question. In the 3 most ...

A masterpiece. There is not a lot of things this story does wrong and a ton it gets right. It is a modern classic, becoming the peak of the mountain other manga strive for. Yes it is popular and every one lavishes praise on it but thinking it is only praised because of it's popularity is extremely shallow reasoning. It deserves it's reputation and every bit of credit it's received. This one of the most well rounded manga and stories I have ever read. It has everything you could ask for and it genuinely well written.

The story is one best this medium has to offer. ...

GTO (Manga) add
Is this the best manga ever? No. Does it have the best writing ever? No. Does it have the best art ever? No. What it does have is heart. GTO is one of the most emotional manga ever put to paper, it's a comedy manga hiding extremely relatable and emotionally resonate stories within. We get to see this delinquent with no education or experience become the greatest teacher his students could ever ask for. The school is full of complex kids with backgrounds of harsh environments, but one by one Onizuka teaches them how to walk the path of life. This is not just a ...

A underwhelming sequel that tries to hard surpass the original manga but fails at doing so.

I love Tokyo Ghoul RE: it retained it's jaw dropping art work. It's amazing character design and terrific cast of main characters. Wonderful use of squeal building upon the original and developing so much more then what we saw. However, that is the main problem, Tokyo ghoul RE: is more, too much more. At some points that's all it feels like, more characters, more plot twists, more powerful character, bigger scale, more spectacle. Fights went from small scale scuffles between two people clashing ideals and only being able to ...

An extremely good Isekai novel that stands above the rest.

In a sea of low standard garbage schlock that is the Isekai light novel genre, The Rising of the Shield Hero, stands out by being just genuinely well written. Which after reading and watching a lot of Isekai, I can assure you is very rare. Shield Hero gets pretty much everything right, it does not disrupt the formula, but takes it's to peak.

The characters are for the most, very well written. Every character serves a purpose and shockingly, most of them have character development, the characters actually have arcs and drastically change to unrecognizable states. ...

BETTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE SHOUNEN

That is essentially my overall take after reading a ton of Black Clover. There are tons of amazing things about the series and if you are a shounen junkie I can easily see this becoming your main stay. However, it's still a shounen at the end of the day, it's not very challenging to read, and it's not particularly well written in any regard. The story is just made up on the spot. Character dialogue is very cliche to downright bad. The power system is a complete mess and just there for show, character's constantly gain random power ups that ...

Tokyo Ghoul (Manga) add
Spoiler
Tokyo Ghoul is a very well crafted dark thriller that had me hooked the entire time. The arts is so distinctive and beautiful, the character designs ooze detail. It is so refreshing to see such a unique style in the modern age of manga nowadays. I can not think of a manga even similar to this beyond basic story themes and setting. Now for a more in depth spoiler filled review.

Pros- Aside from the art which is amazing some of the best manga art ever put to paper, the most glowing aspect is the pacing. This is only around 140 chapters long and as someone ...

A very solid story that will make you laugh and entertain but not much more.

Konosuba is, for the most part, a very well written comedy. It does not take itself seriously in the slightest which allows itself to put it's funniest characters in any situation imaginable. The comedy itself does not stand alone however, there are plenty of bits of world building, character progression arcs. What jokes could become mundane in a lesser work are exponentially better because of the tight character writing, any old joke is naturally phased out with an in universe explanation, the relationships of the characters change so the jokes. ...

Overall this manga is pretty average, if you liked the anime and want to continue reading it you might like it or not. After the first few volumes the original premise that entices many wares off heavily. The main "gimmick" of the series loses most it not all of its draw as the main cast of characters reaches a point of climax for their character progression. Yet despite that, the series keeps going and going and going. There are a bunch of non-important filler chapters that do not progress anything. The characters stay strong, the art only improves but nothing of importance or memorable happens ...
