I love Gintama, it had been such an integral part of my life and balancing the seriousness while still. making the comedy take first priority as it is a gag mange. It's the story of a man who has lost everything he needed to live for, and eventually finding it. The trio which eventually becomes akin to a family, the ever expanding cast of characters.

Sorachi-sensei is amazing when it comes to the characters and making you care for them, even more so when it came to female characters. Something that did amaze me a lot was how he didn't define girls as one thing ... or another, but purely by who they are and pushing boundaries to what is usually shown on screen and what isn't. There's a reason why Kagura is my favourite female character, even as all of them are an absolute delight. And when I read it, feels like it isn't just narrowly defining them.

Not to mention, the sheer insanity of some of the arcs, but only makes me appreciate and feel that Sorachi-sensei is a genius when it came to making things work, bringing it into places that I didn't think would be possible but also able to then switch back to serious arcs.

Overall, this was a masterpiece that I will fondly look back upon and reread.

Story:(8/10)
The author of this manga is the author of Gintama, so if you know Gintama,you should know that there's going to be ridiculous humour.If you're a fan of Gintama, you probaby like this manga.The story is just about a very weird love between Izayo Gorugo(the girl) and Mondo Fujieda(the boy).

Art:(9/10)
The art was Great!In the end,Mondo Fujieda look like Gin-chan from Gintama.And Izayo Gorugo look like Sarutobi Ayame from Gintama(only with black hair and definitely not a masochism!

If you don't like Gintama,I don't think you will like this manga.

Hmmm Gintama... I think I wil fell empty when this manga ends but I will still have a really good memories with it.

I started with Anime and when I moved out to Manga in the first time it was so hard for me to read it there's a lot of words and fast dialogues, but slowly and step by step I fall in love with it and it has become the best Manga I read so far.

The best thing in Gintama it's not the story that based on a critical period of Japan's history, between Edo period and the early of Meiji period ... or the comedy or the characters even if a lot of them based on real people but the touch, the soul of Gintama, the Mangaka Sorachi Hideaki, has succeeded in making something unique, in this story you can lough a lot in the same time you can feel sad or crazy, It's not based on the fighting or comedy or parody but on the life and that's what make it special and unique, you can find what you need or seeking for, in this manga.

A lot of time they making parody on more than one thing in the same time and this's what make it funny and hard to understand too, what they are doing? On whom they are mocks? And this's what make some people fond it not funny or they don't know what's going on? It's really amazing to read something makes fun on Ashita no Joe and Hajime no ippo in the same time as example and this's what's make it great.

Story : Some people think that Gintama it doesn't have any story they are just mocks people and make fun on another Manga or Tvs programmes..., but it's not true. As I said the manga is based on true facts and periods in Japan's history, and I can said based on what I read the author refer the Amanto and the first invasion of the Edo to the time When commodore Matthew C. Perry's four-ship squadron appeared in Edo Bay in July 1853 and what's called 'End of seclusion', that's what makes Gintama great it's based on Japan history in a comic way, and the author as I think he's try to presenting another view of this period.

In these last two years from the Shogun Assassination Arc and the manga but the comedia and parody aside, and go with the main story of the Manga deeply.

Art : It's really awesome and I fond it Improved from chapter to another, It's good in drawing of shapes, identikit, effects but ine the most part the background being empty and you can't recognise if it's night or day.

Character : When I talked about the Gintama touch I meant the Characters too, I think and as I saw there's just one detested Character is Tokugawa Sada Sada in the whole story even the villains you will love them, like Utsuro, Oboro or Hitotsubashi Nobu Nobu in the last, also you can't pickup your favorite charachter here when you will read this manga you will like them all because each one of them will make you smile and happy.

Sakata Gintoki is the main character and it's based on Kintarō (Sakata no Kintoki) a folk hero from Japanese folklore.

Here are some characters and what's they based on? :

Takasugi Shinsuke is a friend to Gintoli and he is the leader Kiheitai he's based on Takasugi Shinsaku the real Kiheitai leader who found it to fight against Bakufu for revenge to his teacher Yoshida Shoin (who is Yoshida Shouyou in the Manga) and his action lead to Meiji Restoration.

Katsura Kotarou the most funny and crazy character in the manga and he's based on Kido Takayoshi.

Enjoyment : There's nothing here to say more than Gintama is really meant it.

I don't think that you will wast your time in reading this Manga at all.

A one shot from the creator of Gintama, which is one of my all time favs, 13 was a great short read. Basically, a boy falls in love with a shy girl, tries to befriend her but instead majorly insults her. But the twist is that she comes from a family of assassins. Fast-forward to high school, the girl returns for her revenge.

The art was good, it was similar to Gintama with simple lines to the characters faces. I liked how they approached 13, the main characters perspective, as a narrative. ... They managed to develop the characters despite it being a one shot, which was impressive. Overall, it was a pretty good read.

This is the first time I've completed reading a manga,so here's my review. This manga is a typical love to die scenery story.When your reading It, Its kind of like love forces you the point of lashing out to your lover. In real life Its considered a more personal issue of action than by an action of not understanding somebody clearly.Also the author was the author that was for Gintama.The manga is a Oneshot. It has a very chill vibe when you read the 39 pages. It somewhat misunderstanding to situations on ... life, Just like in real life where you and somebody keep arguing on certain lively topics. I really loved in this manga was that the 2 main characters drawings/situations fit the story so clearly and That they stood out from the other characters in the story. What I really didn't like was the drawing style of the characters of the random supporting characters that were in the manga. They couldn't stand out like the regular main characters.

I put the story at a 9 because It left a certain type of gap that the story has with the characters and the manga but couldt have had a dramatic ending.

I put a 9 for the Art because It fitted greatly but not perfectly, I love the main characters but could't fit through the other characters.

I even put a 9 for the Characters because they were great but didn't fill the gap or "goal" that I was expecting. I would love/wish for another reincarnation of this manga though.

I Put a 10 for Enjoyment because you can enjoy all the sorts,styles,emotions, and competition events.

I put a 10 for Overrall because the manga looked nice but I'm hoping a anime series(or an OVA) and I'd still would love to see another one of these short stories but in a anime or longer manga format.

Lastly I can recommend to you guys that you can read this,hope you enjoy It .

This seems like what would be produced by someone on crack and acid at the same time. Okay maybe not that crazy, but I'd say pretty close to it. At the same time, this manga is so loveable.

The three main characters, Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura, are some of my favorite characters in any manga or anime because of their personalities and interactions with each other . And it's nice because it can be so weird yet still usually have some sort of storyline to it. Although there are some chapters that are just completely out of the rest of the story, they're still really ... funny and aren't like typical fillers that make you frustrated.

The art is also worth mentioning because I found it nice to look at and the styling went well with the type of story being told.

kinda funny, kinda not. with a focus on action and comedy, it follows a continuous loop of 3-4 gags(sometimes connected, some standalone) followed but a "serious" action filled arc. this gets repetitive quick and makes for a terrible reading experience.

the gag sequences really just serve as introductions for the action focused parts and are really just a tool for cast expansion. thes first couple of times you go through this loop you enjoy it. there's thrills, laughs to be had and pretty cool swordfights. it seemingly has little to na flaws. as you continue to go through the loop and the novelty begins to wear ... off, it becomes a struggle to read through. the jokes become stale, the cast becomes so utterly uninteresting and forgettable, and the fights really don't have anything special to them.

it really isn't worth reading.
