Coelacanth (2 Volumes/8 Chapters)

Coelacanth will remain one of the most elegant and beautiful artistic shorts Ive read to date, it's collective story was truly magnificent. A mysterious drama that deals with the dementia of a human psyche in conjunction with one enigmatic romance that's just all the more intellectually stimulating. The artistic genuinety posed by this magnificent piece is simply astounding, the author Kayoko Shimotsuki really did create something wonderful.

I tend to dote on the art of this piece more than anything else, though the story remains just as strong. It's so rare to see a series stick to it's Shoujo roots, all the while remaining enticing, interesting, and exciting at every turn. The artwork has some of the cleanest line work Ive seen thus far, as well as a feel for the more abstract that further enhanced what the story was attempting to convey overall.

This story primarily deals with a young teenage girl named Satomi Hisano, who just so happens to see a condescending sheep hallucination that belittles her into a state of insecurity and longing. When she was very young, the apartment where she lived burned to ashes in an explosion. An enigmatic young man named Yukinari Yanagi is somehow connected to said fire, and one unexpected meeting connects events that slowly rise to the surface.

Mars - 9/10

It's very easy to know when a romance story is good, I find. If I care enough about the relationship (and the characters themselves) to feel twinges in my chest when the two are having problems, I know I'm into something worth reading. And, when I, a guy, feel all fuzzy inside after ten volumes because the two finally do the deed in girly, romantic fashion, I know what I'm reading is up there with the best. Simply being happy and not viewing sex in an erotic manner is a big thing in the mind of a pervert!

Mars' romance isn't what I'd call original - it's an opposites attract type - but the execution is so wonderful that originallity doesn't even matter. They came together through chance, fell in love, helped each other with their psychological problems... and none of it ever seemed fake; like such a relationship couldn't occur outside of the pages the story was printed on.

It has its flaws, though. The most bothersome for me is the 'ladybody sociopath'. He was inserted mainly to highlight the darker side of the male lead, Rei, but the inclusion of a total nutjob struck me as being out of place in such a series, and it could've been avoided, with Rei instead getting violent over thugs or something like that. Seeing the sociopath get two volumes AND come back at the end rubbed me up the wrong way when I saw no value in his character.

My other issues aren't as major. One is the lack of background art, with there instead being a lot of white on show. The characters look nice, although the designs are typical of a shoujo series, but it seemed lazy for there to be so little in the way of backgrounds. My other issue is with the rushed ending, which didn't even zoom into the future or anything like that.

I can't give it 10/10, but I have put it as my #2 manga.

Hiroki Endo's Tanpenshu - 8/10

I started reading it last night, stopping because I was too tired to fully appreciate it. I got the general jist of the second story, but it didn't really sink in until I'd finished. For example, I was left going 'What?' when Mina sat and watched her dad's porn collection first time around.

It's rare to see anything that requires you to think a little for yourself; stories with meaning. I went into it all wrong.

Anyway. I re-read the first two chapters again. The first chapter was a great read once again - I loved how Aoki said his life might've been different if only that little bird he released hadn't been killed be a crow - and the second chapter was much more enjoyable. I understood Mina's character better, having a firmer grasp on her dislike of sexual things and being treated like a female, and that made it much more accessible for me.

My favourite single chapter is the third. It had no death or insane people like the previous two chapters, but I just loved how the issues of people working together on a play for a uni drama club got joined together with the play they were doing - one about a serial killer. It was truly excellent, and I'd have liked it to have been longer; maybe even having its own series.

The first two chapters of the second volume weren't great, though. The first was plain weird, involving lots of sex, a robot the sex crazy/raped by her uncle (/random) school girl referred to as her brother... which told her to have sex and a world floating in the air, supported by cables. I got nothing out of it. The following chapter wasn't exactly bad, it covering a small part of the life of Endo - explaining just why he wants to get with a school girl because of his failings when he was younger - but it also wasn't anything special.

Thankfully, however, it ended on a high (well, in terms of story-telling, anyway..), with a 130 page double chapter yakuza story; one about a love that could never be. Usually in manga, you get romantic comedy moments and a happy ever after ending. Not in Endo's twisted, and slightly more realistic world, though - instead, he has the love interest of the lead watch as his father screws his love interest, the reason being that his father pays for her keep. I didn't care much/at all for the yakuza chatter, and I ignored it for the most part, but the depressing romance did it for me.

(Is there anything else similar to the final, two chapter story out there?)

Overall, I found the collection to be unusual; different in a good way. I want to see more of Endo's work... and I'm saddened to ee the only option is to read a lengthy sci-fi series.

Forget-me-not. It's only one volume, but I guess it counts. I needed a rest from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, I love it (I love most of the mangas I read, so I guess I'm not too reliable when it comes to recommendations) but I still have 140 chapters left (and, sadly, I never pay attention to spoiler tags, so I already know how it ends and most of the important plot points; the only one I didn't know, I found out last night).

Gapz Garden: 2/10 yea fucking terrible. The story was horribly strung together and alot of it doesn't make any sense, it just really poorly written and paced, Also one guy the main girl falls in love with is pretty much a fucking psycho, he mentally and physically abuses her for 7 years and one time attempts to kill her, he randomly talks to his dead mother, who tells him to hate her and kill her, he cuts off her hair and puts on a teddy bear which he repeatably snuggles with and smells, treats her like shit, gets violently jealous when with her when she likes another guy and doesn't respond to his "kindess" which he is nice to her some times, but he never does anything really major or to make up for 7 years of abuse, and he doesn't even say he's sorry. Yea and she falls in love with him, are you fucking kidding me?
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.
