Whispering You a Love Song is an extremely sweet and adorable yuri manga, out of all the yuri series I've seen this is among the cutest and best of them all. Everything you'd want in a good and wholesome yuri is in this title.
The story is quite unique and executed very well. The bubbly kouhai in the relationship, Himari, has never quite had any romantic experience until she had met her senpai, the cool, tall and tomboyish Yori. She falls in "love" with her at first sight and seemingly confesses to Yori right on the spot, but it isn't quite the "love" we'd expect
...
in a romance manga like this. So with that their relationship develops as Himari attempts to understand these complex emotions, what are these feelings of hers? The differences between the different types of love, it's a refreshing take on romance and is nice to see, until finally after seeking advice from her mother and friends about these feelings does she truly realize what these feelings of love for her senpai are, and yes, they are romantic.
The characters are all lovable for the most part so far, there is some drama mixed in but it isn't irritating and overwhelming to read through unlike many other romance manga as it feels more realistic. Of course the main attraction is the main couple of Himari and Yori. Their relationship is adorably sweet, to the point where it feels intoxicatingly so, the author is merciless as extreme cuteness is constantly delivered every single chapter. The manga is self aware of this as Yori-senpai embodies this feeling from the reader as she is overwhelmed by how damn cute her girlfriend Himari is, she is even frequently illustrated having dog ears and a tail as a means of showing that Himari has behavior similar to a little puppy as she follows around her beloved Yori-senpai. My heart was going crazy the entire time I was reading this, I was caught off guard by the level of wholesomeness this manga delivers. Outside of the main couple, the side characters are great as well as they act as wing women that support their friends in their endeavor of sweet love, and even have some romance going on among themselves as well.
The art is beautiful, it has great detail and portrays the story it is telling perfectly as the art is as cute as its characters. Some panels even feel cinematic with how breathtaking they are to view, and there isn't a single panel of art that feels overtly rushed or lazily drawn as they all look stunning. This is easily one of the best looking manga I've read through.
Overall I rate this yuri masterpiece a 10 and highly recommend it, this is a must read for fans of yuri and romance.

Unlike the total failure that was the third season of Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun T delivers on what the fans want, more Railgun, and back better than ever. Everything about Railgun T is an improvement from the previous seasons to the animation, art, music, etc. The story and plot doesn't feel cut out and confusing, instead giving the viewer another fun experience with the familiar characters we have all come to love fighting against newer and tougher bad guys, and continue to develop and grow as characters with each other. Even side characters get their own time to shine in the spotlight in
...
this new season.
Well there really isn't much else to say. I rate this anime with a 10 and highly recommend this amazing sequel, it's a must watch to any fans of the series as it continues to expand.

The Dangers In My Heart is a laid back slice of life romcom that takes place in a school setting, just like many before it within the genre it doesn't really have much direction, but there is some. It's somewhat of an episodic series but does have some character growth between the main pairing of this manga. Ichikawa starts off with an overtly edgy impression of wanting to murder the heroine for some unknown reason but slowly grows closer to her and becomes more of an awkward little boy that crushes on his dream girl. Now onto the girl herself, Yamada greatly contrasts with Ichikawa
...
with her much more lighthearted personality and ditsy attitude which at times appear to be quite odd. It's cute to see these two interact with each other as they slowly develop their relationship. One of the main highlights that make the execution of this SOL stand out is Ichikawa's narration, he takes more of an observer role rather than starting situations himself, then later gets himself involved in them. He commentates on these situations in an amusing way as he does not hold back on saying the truth in his little head, making comments on some of the bitchy girls or scummy guys in his school which all makes for some good laughs.
The art is simple but looks good and works for the story it is portraying, the most attractive character by design in the series if of course the heroine herself Yamada. Just like their personalities their designs contrast each other with their own dynamic as Yamada is very tall for a girl and Ichikawa is short for a guy, in summary he looks like a gender bent version of Tomoko from WataMote with his gloomy appearance.
Overall I rate this an 8, it's a simple and casual read. I recommend this for those who want to relax and get a few laughs out of a good slice of life.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is a manga of absolute insanity, but this insanity works so well to deliver a very refreshing and absolutely hilarious take on the harem genre, and stands out from the rest of Jump's lineup. It is essentially a parody manga with the absurd premise of the protagonist Rentarou dedicating himself to get together with 100 girls, or else they die. He has no free time for himself as he tries his best and works his hardest for all these girls. As of writing this review there are 22 chapters available and this mad lad
...
already has 6 different ladies to take care of, I have no idea how he's going to get to 100 but I am sure as hell curious to see how this is all going to go down. The very premise alone pulls your attention due to how crazy it is, so you can't help but want to see more of this thrilling adventure progress.
The core of any harem manga are its girls, and this one certainly delivers. So far it seems to be sticking with the standard archetypes of deredere, tsundere, kuudere, etc. Along with some other interesting heroines. But despite the use of these trope heroines they are written amazingly and feel especially unique with the premise, some straight up accept the strange situation they have gotten themselves into by trying to rationalize it all, but some try to think normally about this but ultimately fail as this is not a normal situation. There are even some spicy lesbian moments between the girls since they all do have to look after and accept each other with this being a harem and all, for any fans of yuri this is very much a win-win situation. I'm looking forward to what the author comes up with next with this ever growing harem and what other interesting and unique things will come of it.
The art is beautiful and cute with its own unique style, the girls have mostly simple yet attractive designs. Although despite the protagonist's unique personality and actions Rentarou unfortunately looks quite generic, even with the unique art style, but that's just a little nitpick to the overall amazing quality of this manga.
Overall I rate this magnum opus a 10 and highly recommend it.

Chainsaw Man is a breath of fresh air in the realm of shounen manga, the premise is wonderfully executed with its wonderful story, characters, atmosphere and overall tone. It is such a fun manga to read and experience through as it grasps your attention and keeps you thrilled throughout.
The characters are one of this manga's main attractions, all of them feel like real people with their own personalities, growth and ambitions. The main cast have the seemingly virtuous duty of killing the powerful and dangerous monsters that are devils, but they are never portrayed as the "good guys," like so many other shounen do.
...
This also applies to the antagonists of the stories, they all have their own ambitions, and are not shallow plot devices to be bad for the sake of being bad.
The art is unique and charming, it appears to be more on the rough side but fits the story and world so well. There are many panels within the manga with great detail to behold, even more so when Chainsaw Man shows off it's grand and spectacular fights which are honestly some of the best that Jump has had to offer in recent times. They feel badass and exhilarating to read through in all of it's stylish detail.
Chainsaw Man is a manga that certainly deserves the praises it receives, it's managed to stand out in a great way in the midst of the most brutal publisher that is Shounen Jump. It gets a 10 from me and I for sure recommend this manga.
Edit: Chainsaw Man is getting an anime adaptation by studio MAPPA, as it rightfully deserves.
This thrilling manga has come towards it's thrilling conclusion, at least for its first part, as a sequel is soon to be published. If you haven't already then I highly recommend people to pick up this manga, this masterful work is honestly one of the best things that has come out of Shounen Jump in a while, standing above the rest of its competition.

This is a must read for any fan of yuri, moe, slice of life or cuteness in general. If you're looking for something more grand with an overarching and complex plot I suggest looking for something else.
Even If It Was Once I Regret It is a yuri manga centered around the adorable relationship between Chiyo Koduka and Ritsuka Hara, or more commonly referred to as from Koduka as "Landlady." Despite the rather odd start of Hara requesting service of Koduka as a way to pay her rent, be it either simply hugging or something as lewd as sex, their relationship blooms into quite a loving
...
and wholesome one despite the seemingly shallow opener from Hara.
Throughout the manga there are countless cute and heartfelt moments between the main pairing, and personally my heart was absolutely going crazy from these interactions between the two. They learn more about one another and grow closer, transcending the original reason of why Hara even began to interact with Koduka. These acts of service from Koduka, be it holding hands, going on dates, making food, kissing and of course sex aren't even really about giving service but more so just things she wants to do with Hara, the more she does these acts the more she enjoys it with her.
The art is beautiful, the cute style is pleasant to experience, easy on the eyes and conveys the story that goes along with it very well. The character designs are attractive, even the supporting characters look amazing rather than being lazily drawn compared to the main couple.
Speaking of the supporting characters, despite the much lower screen time they have they still contribute quite well to the enjoyment of the manga, giving the main couple more cute interactions to have as they spend time with these other characters, such as Koduka's friend Aoi Nishimiya and apartment neighbor Setouchi.
I insist on giving this manga a try, it is no masterpiece but overall is a very fun and enjoyable manga to experience. Even If it Was Once knows what it is and executes it's story very well for what it is. It receives a score of 10 from me due to how much I personally enjoyed it and made me instantly fall in love with the main couple of Koduka and Hara. Everything I'd want in a yuri manga is practically in here.
