In only two volumes, this reworked version of the original .hack tetralogy makes the story seem better than it is. The art is both faithful to the games and well-drawn, and the characters' personalities come across vividly, in spite of the short length.

I preferred the more FUCKED UP, rape-filled imaginary back-story. Just a 'JP school thug--fight!' series, tho Ichi's mental block x tears did add to it. The Osaka guy's arm-twisting was BRUTALLY awesome. Needed more of that "pinky promise" from behind. I preferred the more FUCKED UP, rape-filled imaginary back-story.

Takahashi always manages to make simple concepts heartwarming and amusing. However, her flaws as an author are always present in her work: repetition (though the boxers were quite varied) and a poor/lack of an ending. A vg, though not perfect series.

Aside from the 'blackmail/rape will get you love!' theme of the third and fourth one-shots, this collection is decent. Those interested in stories full of unrequited love and jealousy would enjoy at least the first two one-shots.

7BN is a disappointing Parasyte knock-off. Appealing art and good anti-social characterisation raised my hopes. However, its lack of plot - typical of similar titles - ruined it once v3 began a juvenile attempt at evolution world-resetting. 7BN is a disappointing Parasyte knock-off.

Convoluted and lacking an interesting story. Hisano wasn't a sympathetic lead, and her feelings for her love interest came down to lust, which left me feeling cold. Not the best short manga out there. Convoluted and lacking an interesting story.

The lead screwing 100+ women before making his childhood promise with his love into reality devalued it. No likable characters in an unfocused, uneven series.

The first story was clearly the prototype for all of Suenobu's best work. Her storytelling and drawing abilities were both unrefined when she created these shorts, but even then her talent shone through. The shoujo fluff, 2-4 chapters were decent.

Similar to FB. A bad boy gets turned into a cat by the heroine, they edge closer, a reverse harem forms and a rom-com begins. Mizuho's art is charming, but she can't DO action. Canceled when it was getting good, with Ura teasing Yayoi by seducing her. Similar to FB.

The first story had a great combination of silliness and realism; highlighting how scary it would be to get lost in the wild. The following story was touching - it revealing how writing love letters can move hearts closer together. 3&4 were average.

Uzumaki introduced me to Ito's work, making me buy all I could. Some of the stories were too daft to be scary and the ending was terrible... yet the combination of horror and absurdity is what make's Ito unique.

A collection of recycled content. Girl gets attacked by monster; girl gains power; girl gets used as weapon; girl discovers those using her created the monsters. The villain even tried to create a God to reset all. Nice death ratio, but unimaginative. A collection of recycled content.

Repetitive and lacking polish. The abuse mainly being restricted to dolls made the tragedy lack power. Each too-short-short offered Kitoh's message(s) and little else. No attempt was made at explaining why, or how, the living dolls were created. Repetitive and lacking polish. The abuse mainly being restricted to dolls made the tragedy lack power.

The depiction of bullying in this story (and how it affects the mind of a person) is so realistic that I have to assume the mangaka based the story on her own life. The only thing that let it down was its horribly rushed final chapter.

Such a sad yet beautiful 'waiting to be executed' romance; completely free of childish pish. A must read 'Crime & Punishment' story that begins at the end. In only 8chs, it came close to making me cry. I feel it would've succeeded had it lasted longer. Such a sad yet beautiful 'waiting to be executed' romance; completely free of childish pish.

Ando's FAR better at dealing with rom-coms than thrillers. Shoujo's very own take on Tarzan. A jungle boy slowly comes to terms with civilization and, after many laughs, wins the heart of the girl he moved in with. Not remarkable but is a lot of fun!

This is why you don't play with fireworks, kids. Short, sweet and a little depressing. If it had lasted for longer than 50 pages, it probably would've been even better, but there's no denying it's powerful as it is. This is why you don't play with fireworks, kids.

Such gorgeous art, depicting a near-naked girl licking her juicy lips, was irresistible in colour. The needless lighthearted/dumb bits, American stereotyping and lack of an ending took away from the fun. Why didn't Takeru show her lustful desire for Kou!?

Porn with A+ rom-comedy. Much too 'samey', though. Ms. Tsundere would deny her love, have sex--repeat. The sex was short, while the romance was left until late. Ms. Tsundere's eyes were big & her bust small(ish); lowering the attractive art's smut value. Porn with A+ rom-comedy. Much too 'samey', though. Ms. Tsundere would deny her love, have sex--repeat.

First half is Kill Bill 'FEMALES vs MALES' vengeance awesomeness. 7 normal girls, trained by a lovably cool Yagyu Jyubei, against 7 killers. REALLY GOOD! Then, retarded SUICIDAL MONKS political intrigue pish & Jyubei killing as the girls are ignored. HUH?

A SOCIAL COMMENTARY internet era vigilante thriller. Immersive art realism. All but one of the cast = PLOT DEVICES; resulting in detached heroine scream LOL. The epilogue detailed how ABSURD the plot was. An excuse for kid appeal INTERNET VIGILANTE KEWL. A SOCIAL COMMENTARY internet era vigilante thriller. Immersive art realism.

Characters with human failings dealing with life. Sometimes the mood isn't right for sex; people in relationships get too used to each other/fight--REFRESHING! Yoshino not giving up on Akio & Akio changing for her = LOVE! A lame, trollish 'final chapter'. Characters with human failings dealing with life.

Has all the hallmarks of classic Junji Ito but - "I'M SO SORRY!" - not his best. Turning the absurdity of brains melting into horror, w/ JP apology culture social commentary, was cool. But recurring duo + 'EVIL electromagnetic waves' were.. eh. Shite end. Has all the hallmarks of classic Junji Ito but - "I'M SO SORRY!" - not his best.

If you're looking for an easy to get into, charming rom-com, YdA is good to go with... but the lead might be a lil' too pathetic for some, and the way Nagisa constantly needs chasing may irk others. Also, the story drags on for FAR too long, needlessly.

Not inferior to 'Aku no Hana'... yet it was cancelled. Goes from supernatural peeping to mind-break territory--the lead's first love switching from "NO, IT HURTS!" to being a whore. Covers uncomfortable ground, but the twistedness made it more than smut. Not inferior to 'Aku no Hana'... yet it was cancelled.

Suspense was built well, and the lead linking his stalker with a girl he bullied added depth. But its crappy ending left it in Ibitsu's shadow. The stalker wasn't explained and the lead's 'girlfriend' took up too many pages to have such a minor role.

Rushed CG rip-off. From the cast to the alternate Japan discrimination, it's there. But, unlike CG (S1), the 'mind games' = Noa pulling out a new invention, or deus ex machina. Once zombies join in, it's a "page-turner" in the 'PLZ END!' sense. Cancelled? Rushed CG rip-off. From the cast to the alternate Japan discrimination, it's there.
