Really, really meandering and way longer than it needed to be.
Shutendoji, at its core, is a cute and charming spin on the tale of Princess Kaguya. I think if you were to lay out this manga's plot on paper and stick to the basic, overarching ideas, then you'd have a solid story on your hands. However, my problem with it is that there are so, so many plotlines which add absolutely nothing to the grand scheme of things.
There are things I liked about Shutendoji. It had some nice moments and a cute ending. I think if you were to trim a lot of the
...
fat in this, you'd have a solid 4 or 5 volume manga on your hands. But holy shit someone desperately needed to tell Go Nagai to hold back his self-indulgence, especially in the last 3 volumes. There is SO much unnecessary shit that adds nothing to the narrative and only serves to waste your time.
Anyway I'd say if you're fine with a lot of self-indulgent fluff, then you would probably enjoy this manga more than I did. I didn't like this manga very much, but I can see why someone would feel differently.

I really like Kindergarten Wars. It's an unapologetically silly comedy that consistently manages to be fun and make me laugh. A lot of the running gags, although extremely similar in setup and execution, are played JUST differently enough each time that it never feels stale. I'm
The characters are all fun and likable and have sympathetic backstories that do a good job at making you root for them. The story, in all honesty, is pretty basic but a series like this doesn't really need some super complex plot or anything. That being said, there have definitely been some lorebait hints of something deeper going on
...
in terms of plot, but overall the series typically keeps its focus on "assassin kindergarten teachers fighting wacky assassins."
But what really makes this series stand out in my eyes is how, in between all the over the top comedy, it's VERY good at making you emotional when you least expect it. I'm gonna be vague about this so as to not spoil anything, but there was a string of chapters recently that actually made me cry, and I don't exactly cry easily from fiction (If you're caught up with this series, you know what I'm referring to here). Again, Kindergarten Wars IS a silly comedy, but part of what makes the series so good in my opinion is that it knows how to use the overall silly tone as a foundation to juxtapose darker, more tear-jerking moments. Both the silly comedy and the darker moments stand out due to juxtaposing each other, which I'm honestly all for.
So overall, really solid manga. I think out of all the "Assassin/spy SoL" series right now (I think that can be considered a subgenre at this point lol), this one is definitely my favorite. I recommend giving this one a try if you haven't.

This is one of those manga where you can definitely tell that the author had a story planned out, but got axed after the first volume and so the author had to sprint to cram in all their ideas in the latter half.
There are certainly some good ideas here and twists that I like on paper. A manga about a guy who gets roped into a literal extermination camp disguised as a children's home in which children are forced to be murderers? And the MC slowly starts to uncover the deeper mystery as to why the children's home is this way and who the people
...
truly in charge of it are? And none of the children (not even the teacher running it) are actively malicious but rather victims of a horrible institution? AND the MC is implied to have some skeletons in his closet that he isn't letting on? Amazing idea. Right up my alley. I just wish the end result could have been fleshed out and all the plot beats could have had impact. Like, the story ALMOST says something substantial about being trapped in cycles of abuse and being able to break free from them, but everything is so rushed that it comes off as muddled at best. I definitely get the impression that the author WANTED to convey a message with this manga, but simply didn't have enough time to do so. Without going into specifics if you feel like reading it, the ending sounds great ON PAPER, but so little time was spent with the characters involved that it just doesn't stick.
An obvious victim of the editorial axe. You can tell at even a cursory glance that after the first volume the author was scrambling to tell their story in whatever way they could with the little time they had left. I feel like this had the potential to be a good story, but it just wasn't meant to be I guess.
To end on a more optimistic note, I think the art is quite good. Very appealing mix of cute and creepy that I definitely vibe with. Even if I'm not really a fan of how the overall manga turned out, the art style definitely got me to check out the mangaka's current webcomic.

Chainsaw Man is a hard series to review because unfortunately Part 1 and Part 2 are not listed as different series.
Part 1 (Chapters 1-97) is amazing. It's a solid fast-paced action series with energetic art, great characters, and genuinely well-executed emotional moments. Aki, Denji, Makima, Power, etc are all fantastic characters. The series is fairly short, but very very good for what it is. Easy 9/10. Shit even a 10/10 depending on how I'm feeling.
Unfortunately, this series doesn't end with Part 1. Fujimoto decided to make a sequel series (and yes Part 2 is effectively a sequel even if it's listed as the same series),
...
and it quite frankly... isn't very good. It STARTED extremely promising. The new MC Asa was really interesting and I was excited to see how she developed. But after 30 chapters, the series really goes off the rails and not in a good way. The plot just, like, turns into a total mess. There's some unification church parody for a while. And then suddenly some major apocalypse-tier shit goes down. And then suddenly there's some prison break shit. The story can best be described as "SHIT HAPPENING" with zero central theme tying it all together. Asa, the character who's supposed to be the MC, basically disappears for like 25 chapters (which was almost a full year in terms of weekly publication) and goes through a lot of interesting shit offscreen while the old MC comes back and mouthbreathes doing nothing while interacting with mostly uninteresting characters. I've heard people tell me "Noooooooo you just want mindless action nooooooo Part 2 is actually super deep you're just too stupid to get it noooooooooo" but the thing is Part 2 really ISN'T deep when you get down to it. It has its themes shoved down your throat constantly (muh normal life is said like a billion times), but it fails to actually SAY anything about those ideas beyond all its posturing. It's just flat-out not a good series. It still has good MOMENTS, but the narrative tying those moments together is extremely messy and half-baked. Plus, the art becomes really REALLY bad. To give you an idea of how shit some of the recent arc is, there are moments where the shading literally leaks outside of the panels because they forgot to move the shading down a layer when they were editing. And this happens MULTIPLE times.
Part 2 isn't ALL bad; it has some solid moments and a handful of good characters. But overall, it's a mess that's both poorly written AND poorly drawn that spends way too long shoving uninteresting ideas down your throat while failing to meaningfully comment on any of those ideas at all.
If you're reading this review and somehow haven't read this series, I recommend reading Part 1 and then not touching Part 2 because it's constant disappointment.

Kaiju no. 8 is the most corporate, most soulless manga I have ever read. Everything about it feels entirely artificial, like some below-average parody of shonen tropes. This is a FAR more in-depth review than this series deserves, but whatever I had fun writing it.
Never in my life have I read a manga with as much wasted potential as this one. The first 30 or so chapters were genuinely decent and had promise of potential. The idea of an MC needing to hide his powers and live a double life is a neat gimmick, and the MC had a nice bromance going on with his
...
best friend. I liked how Kafka was some 32 year old loser working a dead-end job, and decided to give his dreams a second shot after befriending Ichikawa. They had a nice dumbass-and-straight-man dynamic going on, and it made the early chapters of the series pretty charming. I liked how the MC had a little circle of friends who knew his secret while the rest of the defense force considered his alter ego to be an enemy. Nothing great or revolutionary, but it was enjoyable. For a while, I thought Kaiju no. 8 was going to be a fun series that told a story that's somewhat different from its contemporaries in the shonen demographic.
Now if you look at the other reviews for this series, you see how over time the majority of the reviews go from "recommend" to "mixed" to "not recommended"? That's cause this shit falls off HARD. Without going into spoilers, there is a specific moment 30 chapters in where everything the series had going for it flies COMPLETELY out the window. For the past 60 chapters (2 thirds of the series as of the time I'm writing this) the series has been nothing but aimlessly fighting flesh monsters with what is by far the worst powersystem I have ever seen in a battle manga. Whatever charm the MC had as a goofy everyman loser vanishes entirely. The problem with Kafka, the MC, is that he originally worked because he was a loser who no one outside of the two other leads respected. It made him sorta charming and relatable. However, he just doesn't work when he's taken outside of that context and becomes this dude who everyone realizes is hot shit and is primarily defined by his desire to hang out with his childhood crush (Who, in spite of how much she's pushed at the start of the series, barely gets any development) and do the right thing. While I'm not against having somewhat standard "good guy" protagonists, Kafka lacks the substance or charisma that makes protagonists like that work.
And speaking of characters, the series throws so many minor characters at you, but barely any of them are actually interesting. You'll constantly get characters referring to people who showed up in maybe one panel and the story somehow expects you to remember. In the more recent chapters, it tries to make the cast more interesting by doing the whole "mid-fight flashback" thing again and again, but it overuses this so much that you can't find yourself giving a shit about any of them. I can count on one hand the amount of characters I actually give a shit about: Ichikawa, Hoshina, and Shinomiya. Ichikawa had a kinda fun dynamic with Kafka at the start of the series, but he hasn't appeared in so long he's pretty much irrelevant. With Hoshina, you can TELL the author wishes he made him the MC instead of Kafka. Despite not being considered a "main character" he probably gets more focus than the actual main character. He is at the very least somewhat more entertaining than Kafka (I don't even think Hoshina is that "good" of a character, just... fine). Shinomiya, the heroine, is genuinely the only character who I would say was decently handled. She's easily the character who has the most consistent focus and is the only character who's gone through something of an arc. Even if said arc isn't particularly unique or interesting ("I'm a strong confident prodigy!" -> *gets saved* -> "That was humiliating :( I need to get stronger" -> *gets stronger*), it's still SOMETHING, which puts her above the rest of the cast.
As for the plot... it's barely even there. The series had an initial plot hook of Kafka wanting to hide his identity as Kaiju no. 8, which was sort of interesting for a bit. However, that eventually disappears entirely. The closest thing to a "plot" in Kaiju no. 8 is that there's this one mushroom-head guy who wants to kill humanity (for no defined reason) and REALLY has it out for Japan in particular. And not having a concrete plot isn't even a dealbreaker for me, since (To compare Kaiju no 8 to an actual good series running in the same magazine) the closest thing there is to a "plot" in Dandadan is the male lead trying to get his testicles back. The difference, however, is that Dandadan has a cast of charming characters and puts them in crazy situations that are actually fun to read about. Kaiju no. 8 meanwhile has the cast fight a boring flesh monster... and then they fight another boring flesh monster... and then they fight another boring flesh monster, and so on.
Now I know what you're thinking: who CARES about all of that? Kaiju no. 8 is a battle manga, and so everything I just said can be forgiven if the series has cool and entertaining fights. After all the series has KAIJU in the title, so I'm sure most people are going into this series for the sake of reading about giant monsters hitting each other with buildings.
And therein lies the single most damning flaw of Kaiju no. 8: the fights are TERRIBLE. Kaiju no. 8 has some of the most boring, played-out, and sterile fights I've ever seen in a manga. I binge read the whole manga and I think the only fight I thought was kind of interesting was when Hoshina attacked Kafka in the second arc. While the manga has the word Kaiju in the title, the fights lack any sense of scale or weight that makes kaiju fights interesting in the first place (Another thing Dandadan does better than this manga, by the way). There's NOTHING going on in them. No interesting abilities or fun banter or strategy. They hit each other back and forth until the character with the higher powerlevel wins. I think the ONE time the series did anything interesting with a fight was when Kaiju no. 9 was having some villain monologue, and Shinomiya attacked him from behind and she sliced his dialogue box in half. And that isn't even a crazy hype moment or whatever. Just a neat-ish moment because I REALLY cannot name any other moment that I think is worth bringing up.
The power system in Kaiju no. 8 (and even using the term "power system" is being EXTREMELY generous) is by far the worst I have ever seen in a battle manga. The characters get these suits that allow them to harness a certain amount of power that varies between characters, which in practice means that they all have their own powerlevel. That's... honestly all there is. With the exception of Hoshina and his whole sword gimmick, the characters all use the exact same set-up, with all the differences like Narumi's gun or Shinomiya's axe being so inconsequential that even mentioning them feels like I'm giving the series too much credit. The choreography is messy and it's hard to understand what's going on a lot of the time, but it doesn't really matter because it all just boils down to the bog-standard set-up of "Grrrr this kaiju is stronger than I expected -> *flashback* -> *powerlevel increases* -> "I'm not strong enough yet" -> *powerlevel increases again* -> *oneshots the kaiju*. That's every single fight in this manga, until the rest of the cast jobs against Kaiju no. 9 and Kafka comes in to oneshot him because the author wants him to be Goku. I can get enjoying a manga for the sake of cool fights and nothing else, but it's just not here. If you're looking for fights, I'd recommend ANY series over this one.
As a kaiju manga, Kaiju no. 8 fails entirely. The entire appeal of kaiju movies is that you're watching these all-powerful goliaths go at each other, and Kaiju no. 8 just doesn't have that. The kaiju in this manga feel less like kaiju and more like generic fodder monsters. If you watch a Godzilla movie, Godzilla and whatever kaiju he's fighting that movie completely tower over all of their surroundings. Even if you can tell you're just watching a guy in a lizard suit, there's still a strong sense of scale. They always show the kaiju alongside skyscrapers or similarly huge structures. They do a good job at conveying the sheer gap in size between the kaiju and humanity. Kaiju no. 8 just lacks that sense of scale. None of the kaiju are THAT big, or at least it never feels like the kaiju's size actually matters. Even when the kaiju are "big," the human characters are all agile enough that they can jump up to the kaiju's eye-level in a single bound. At most, you'll get some throwaway line where a character says "Damn this kaiju's skin is too thick. I can't injure him with my cuts," and that simply isn't the same as watching Godzilla casually walk through pylons and trample tanks. And on that note, not only does this manga do a bad job at emphasizing the kaiju's size, but it does a bad job at emphasizing their power. The better Godzilla movies will spend a good chunk of time on human characters who are completely helpless against these gods of destruction. In Godzilla vs Mothra, for example, I'd say maybe a bit over half of the movie is about the military trying and failing to stop Godzilla. Humanity simply stands zero chance against this behemoth, so when Mothra comes in and puts up a serious fight against Godzilla, it feels like a big deal. Whenever a character in this manga is unable to defeat a kaiju, it's simply because their powerlevel wasn't high enough. And then what happens is that either said character has a flashback which raises their powerlevel and allows them to oneshot the kaiju, or Kafka comes in and oneshots the kaiju anyway. It's hard to take the kaiju seriously as a threat when they're constantly getting oneshotted left and right. If Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla could get oneshotted by Godzilla, no one would take these guys seriously, and yet I'm expected to still care about Kaiju no. 9 after he's gotten his ass handed to him time and time again. While it's understandable that Hoshina or Shinomiya are able to hold their own against kaiju, given that they themselves are infinitely stronger than the average soldier, the problem is that since the vast majority of the manga is spent following Hoshina or Shinomiya, their powerlevel is the baseline to which all other characters are compared. This manga TELLS us that the kaiju are a major threat, but it does a terrible job at SHOWING it.
The art is... fine. It's not great or anything, but it's pretty to look at and there are a couple of spreads that make me go "Hey that looks pretty good." Nothing I'd want to write home about, but it's worth bringing up I guess.
In conclusion, Kaiju no. 8 is not well-written nor is it entertaining. It had an interesting and charming premise, but dumped it down the drain. It feels like the author resorts to the most predictable of shonen cliches, not because he thinks they're good, but because he's only doing this shit for the money and is throwing shit that other series do in the hopes that something will stick. I haven't "dropped" this series, not because it's good, but because each chapter takes maybe 30 seconds to read so what's even the point of dropping it? The single most interesting aspect of Kaiju no. 8 isn't anything in the manga itself, but rather how this shit is somehow still selling solid numbers in Japan. I have no idea why anyone would still be enjoying this series enough to spend money on it, but I guess that's their perogative.

Inuyashiki is a heartwarming story about family, what it means to be human, and androids shooting people through computer screens. It's short and simple, yet well-executed and I recommend it to anyone that isn't too disturbed by gore or the occasional infanticide.
Story - 10
Inyuashiki's story is simple and to the point. Ichirou Inuyashiki is a kindhearted 58 year old salaryman with a crumbling family life. When he's diagnosed with terminal cancer, he's too scared to tell his family as he's worried they won't care if he dies. Overwhelmed with emotion, he takes his dog and runs to a nearby park in the middle of
...
the night. There he comes across Hiro Shishigami, a psychopathic 17 year old otaku, staring off in the distance.
And then an alien spaceship accidentally crashes into them and they die.
The aliens realize how much they fucked up and need to get the hell out of there before anyone realizes they killed two sentient beings on this planet. After realizing that they have no way of repairing them, they go with the next best thing: replace them with two androids that share their appearance, personality, and memories.
Ichirou and Hiro, after realizing what happened in the park that night, are understandably bothered by their situation. Are they the same people they were before? Can they even be considered human anymore? Both these characters find their answers to these questions through their newfound powers. Ichirou manages to learn that he's human by helping the helpless. He stands up for the homeless. He saves people from housefires. He heals the sick and injured. Hiro, likewise, also comes to realize his humanity through his powers. But instead of helping those around him, he becomes a serial killer. The rush of emotion he gets from seeing someone's suffering with his own eyes reminds him that yes, he is human.
Character - 9
Ichirou and Hiro are both fantastic characters, for completely different reasons.
Ichirou is a kindhearted, timid old man who is able to find himself by helping those around him. Given that this is a manga by Hiroya Oku, humanity is portrayed in a very (admittedly overdone and unrealistic) pessimistic light. We see teenagers beating homeless people death. We see Yakuza bosses get away with raping and murdering whomever they please. You know, that sort of thing. But as Ichirou faces this darkness in society, he's able to inspire other people around him. He's a great guy, and it's impossible not to want the best for him.
Hiro is by all accounts a fucking monster with just enough humanity in him that he feels real. He's a kid who deeply cares about his family and friends, but he ONLY cares about his family and friends. Everyone else, be they young or old, male or female, are nothing more than meatbags to him. He's a textbook psychopath with the powers of a demigod. He commits atrocity after atrocity, yet he has just enough humanizing moments that remind that audience that at the end of the day, he's still a human being with emotions. He's a character that's both interesting and deeply disturbing, and hats off to Hiroya Oku for writing him the way he did.
Art - 3
For all the praise I've given this manga, if there's one thing I don't like about it, it's the art. I know that a lot of people love Hiroya Oku's art style, and while I can understand the appeal to some degree, I don't think it works here. If you're familiar with any of his other work, you'd know that he likes to use digital processing in his backgrounds. That means you'll have 3D models and photos being traced over and serving as the background in a number of panels. On one hand, this allows environments to feel detailed and realistic, but on the other hand, when the characters in those environments don't have that same level of detail or realism, the whole image ends up looking bizarre. Again, while there are some people that like this art style, I am not one of them.
Enjoyment - 10
Overall, Inuyashiki is enjoyable, it has a compelling story, engaging characters, and some heartfelt moments, but it's also a Hiroya Oku manga, which means a lot of violence and a lot of gore. Now it's definitely not as gory as say, Gantz, but it definitely has its moments. Oku has a talent for depicting every last vein and speck of brain matter flying from a man's obliterated skull as a bullet makes its way out of his skull. Now, I wouldn't say this bothers me too much, but I know that there are certainly people who aren't good at seeing gore in media, and if you're one of them, you might want to consider skipping this one.

Kokkoku is a manga that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. It’s not without its flaws, but it still manages to be a well-paced mystery with logical plot twists, suspenseful and even horrifying moments, and characters that I wanted to survive to the end. It’s short enough that it doesn’t overstay its welcome, but long enough that it feels like a complete and satisfying narrative. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good mystery/thriller and I look forward to reading the author’s current series, Golden Girl (It sadly isn’t translated as of writing this, but hopefully someday it will).
Story- 7/10
Kokkoku starts with
...
an effective and interesting premise. Juri Yukawa is a young woman in a financially struggling family trying to make ends meet. One day out of the blue, her nephew Makoto and her brother Tsubasa are kidnapped and held for ransom. Unable to make it to the meeting place in time, her grandfather uses a family heirloom to freeze himself, Juri, and her father in time. They go to where Makoto and Tsubasa are being held to rescue them, but they quickly realize that they’re not the only ones who can move in the frozen time. From there, it quickly becomes a game of cat-and-mouse between the Yukawas and their pursuers.
The first few chapters of the manga do a great job at grabbing your attention at the start and it manages to stay consistently exciting and interesting up until the end. There’s always some new plot development or twist that keeps everything fresh and engaging. I have ADHD and I tend to have a hard time sticking with media up until the end. Whether it’s books or games or TV shows, I have a bad habit of dropping things if they manage to lose my attention. That didn’t happen here. I was consistently engaged in everything that was happening in this manga. I kept wanting to know what would happen next. The series is filled with interesting plot twists, and (with one exception) they all feel logically consistent with what had been established beforehand.
Now, as much as I liked Kokkoku’s story, I have to admit that the last chapter is… not the best. The ending isn’t AWFUL or anything, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed with the series’ conclusion. Still, a lackluster ending doesn’t invalidate a story that managed to be engaging and interesting for 98% of its run time, and for that I still consider Kokkoku’s story to be a good one.
Art- 10/10
I am not an art critic so while I might not be able to give the most in-depth or informed opinion on the quality of art, even I can still confidently say that the art in Kokkoku is fucking great. Kokkoku takes place in a world frozen in time, and the manga makes great use of liminal space to convey the world’s stillness. Previously busy streets feel empty and lonely in the absence of movement. Characters stand in wide open spaces, really selling you on the idea that they’re stuck in time. But not only does the art’s sense of emptiness sell you on the premise, it also gives multiple scenes a feeling of suspense and tension. In spite of many scenes’ stillness, these characters are not alone. There are other people who can move in this world, and most of them are out for blood. And when shit gets real, the art is just as good as it is in the quieter, more suspenseful moments. Action scenes feel dynamic and exciting. Scenes with body horror feel about as creepy as it should (and believe me there are a lot of scenes like that). I’m not gonna go into any spoilers, but there were multiple time reading this where I audibly said out loud “Ew what the fuck?” It’s possible that I’m just easily impressed when it comes to art, but I really do think that the art in this manga is great It’s one of the main reasons I recommend someone read the manga instead of watching the anime adaptation, because while the anime doesn’t look BAD, it doesn’t look nearly as good as the manga does in my opinion.
Character – 7/10
Kokkoku’s characters are simple but effective. Juri is headstrong and dependable. She cares deeply about her family and will do whatever is necessary to keep them safe. Her grandfather is likewise dependable and responsible, albeit he can be somewhat overprotective from time to time. Her father is bumbling and selfish, but he does genuinely care about his family at the end of the day. The character’s aren’t the deepest I’ve ever seen, but they work well for the story the manga’s trying to tell.
One thing that I appreciate about the characters here is that they all follow a clear line of logic. Everyone from the Yukawas to the main antagonists to even some of the random grunts have clear and understandable goals. Their actions and plans will change depending on what they learn about the situation (or rather what they don’t learn) while keeping the same basic goal in mind. This may sound like a weird thing to praise, but a lot of attention is given to each character’s motive. No one suddenly acts stupid for the sake of the plot. Every decision a character makes feels calculated and believable. There’s this one scene in particular (and I’ll try to be as vague as possible here to avoid spoilers) where two characters see some really important event happen. Both of them realize the consequences of this event and then they both instantly think about what the other one is thinking. They both come to the exact same conclusion about the situation and they make two very different decisions in a split second based on what they concluded about the other one.
And while none of the characters were the deepest I’ve ever seen, I cared enough about all of them that I wanted all of them to make it out of the situation alive. I especially found myself liking Juri and minor characters Majima and Sako a lot. None of the characters felt useless and they all felt like they contributed something to the overall narrative
Enjoyment – 9/10
So yeah I really enjoyed this manga. I was hooked from the start and was engaged up until the end. The final was kinda disappointing as I previously explained. Although that did diminish my overall enjoyment to an extent, I’m still glad that I read Kokkoku. It was well-paced. There was a very clear line of logic with the various mysteries and plot twists. It was a fun and engaging read. If you’re interested at all in the premise, I recommend you give it a try. Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe you won’t. I certainly did, but everyone’s gonna have their own opinions.
Overall – 9/10
