Having a sweet grandmother become a magical girl is a adorable concept and it works surprisingly well! It's a great twist on the magical girl genre as the traits that magical girls typically have can be found in a grandmother, caring, supportive, loving, friendly and many more. I really adored the art style and especially the designs of the magical girls themselves, especially Clover. The art style takes heavy inspiration from 90s magical girl anime but puts a nice modern twist on it! The story isn't amazing but it doesn't have to be as the characters are the main focus and interact with ... each other very well.

Overall I would highly recommend this manga to anyone who likes magical girls or fluffy stories.

This manga is NOT for people who are sensitive to graphic scenes.

Ura Account Joshi follows many different main characters all with their own reasonings as to why they're posting on a secret account, hence the manga name. All the stories are connected in someway, whether that be through the actual main characters or simply through their similar actions. The manga can go into some darker topics and ideas but it's a great representation of how young people can use social media as an escape or validation. There are a lot of dark truths and dangers to posting very private information online and this manga does ... tackle some of those topics but I think it handles them well. It portrays a large range of different situations and solutions or even acceptance. It doesn't say one is better than the other and I appreciated that a lot.

Overall a very good manga that I feel deserves a higher rating than it has and for sure deserves to be read by more people. I adore the art style and I look forward to this authors future works. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, as the topics are a bit dark for general audiences but for those who can handle it, I couldn't recommend it more!

Repost/Edit to help explain more.
I was enjoying the manga until it's revealed the main character "gave" himself DID (Dissociative identity disorder, formally known as Multiple personality disorder). To me it felt massively like a cop out with little to no setup as to how he actually "gave" himself DID. He simply decides to form it as a tool to get revenge, the story goes into little to no detail as to how he even did this. It feels as if DID was slapped onto the story as an afterthought. I enjoyed the built up/mystery the series had for a lot of its chapters but felt ... the reveal of DID really did bring it down. I feel as though there are many better ways to utilize the core components of DID in a fictional story.
The use of real mental illness in media and entertainment is a tricky thing to portray and the way DID is portrayed in this particular manga makes me extremely uncomfortable to say the least. I could not enjoy the manga after the way it used DID almost as a fix all for its plot holes with seemingly little to no research nor creative twist to the mental disorder.

Please stop sending me hateful messages and death threats simply because I do not enjoy this manga. I'm allowed to have an opinion that differs from yours.

The way Shi ni Aruki views and treats death is very intriguing. It challenges the conventional view of death and how one might react to it or simply not react at all. The art is good and helps to express the mangas feel but I think maybe a more abstract art style would help to convey some of the feelings and concepts explored. The ending may be a bit of a cop out to some people but I tend to look at is as more of a "make up your own mind" kinda ending.

Overall I really enjoyed this manga and I especially enjoyed getting ... to know and understand our main.

For me, Wonder Egg Priority feels like a bunch of great ideas for an anime, mashed together into a strange experience that feels kind of awful but also feels awful to not like? It's a strange feeling.

The story is confusing and tends to jump around a lot. It feels like the writers didn't have enough episodes for the story they wanted to tell and had to shorten it down and cut content. The art is wonderful but tends to switch art styles when fighting, not a bad thing but jarring at first.

In conclusion I feel like the anime wanted to give an insight ... on suicide and the complex social dynamics of suicide but fell flat. I wouldn't recommend this anime personally.

I enjoyed reading this manga, the art is nice and the characters are both likable yet easily dislikable, I think it just depends on how you view them and the story as a whole.

For me, this is about two girls who are toxic in different ways and use each other. Aya is looking for someone, something, anything. She wants to be seen by someone
Sei is not over her first love from high school and tries to relive that through her relationship with Aya. At first it's Sei who seems in contorl of the relationship but as the series goes on, it turns more so into ... Aya. I adore the contrast between the panels of their first and last time entering the house.

I'd recommend it if you like toxic relationships or seeing shitty people be shitty but for most people I wouldn't recommend this manga.

NO SPOILERS :D

I don't normally like shounen but I adore this series so far. Especially this season.

The story isn't great, it's passable but it's not great. There's a lot of clichés and an almost a repetitiveness to the series as a whole. But I tend to find that with most animes that go on for more than a season or two, plus the shounen genre is extremely prominent and has well known clichés. Some of the 3D scenes felt REALLY jarring to me as well as the 3D effects at times. Though the further in the series I got ,the less I minded.
Despite all this, ... I adore it. The art is amazing but I think the sound design is phenomenal. Most characters are likable or at the very least entertaining.

To summarize, I would recommend Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen and the series so far! UNLESS you are someone that really cares about story. This show in general is not innovative in its story telling but more so creative with some smaller aspects of the show.

Manga was Discontinued.

This manga is a more realistic and dark telling of the classic gender swap trope. Our main male character Shun is gay NOT transgender, so when he's turned into a female, his reaction is that of disgust, terror and repulsion. I appreciated this greatly as it set a clear difference between sexuality and gender identity, something I feel that often gets overlooked in gender swap stories. To contrast his reaction ,were given Yuka, our female lead. Yuka was gender swapped into a male but seemingly is fine, at least on the surface. It's told to us that Yuka has a hard time ... admitting she's in a hard situation or needs help, instead she fixates on Shun and how she can help him. Yamagichi is our 2nd male lead, he's the only main character that doesn't gender swap but instead is trying to deal with his feelings for Yuka. Now that Yuka is a male, it throws into question how Yamagichi feels about her.

Overall, a excellent story that ended too soon. I wish this manga had time to reach its full protentional but nonetheless I'm thankful for the small look into this world.

This manga left me speechless, in both the best and the worst way.

**Spoilers for chapter 1 ahead**
Our main character, Kyo, is pretty apathic about most things in life, he feels empty. He decides to give the next girl who asks him out a chance .Which just happens to be a Sa-Chan. He has fleeting moments where he feels something for Sa-Chan, he just doesn't know what. 4 Years pass and he's moving away for university, where his neighbor happens to be a married woman ,they end up sleeping together. Kyo does this to see if he feels anything and the story takes off from ... there. Kyo is learning about himself and his emotions, whilst also coming to terms of what he's done. The manga also explores how other people in his life react to this and what the married womans reason for cheating is. It explores the fall out of said cheating and how different people react. Overall I'd say if you love reading about people developing and changing, its a good manga HOWEVER. The ending made me physically say "what the fuck" out loud. It can be interpreted in many ways but my initial reaction nearly made me tank this manga's ratings all together. I don't recommend reading chapter 35 if you want to end this manga on a high note.

A charming love story that explores identity and romance, whilst seeing how the two interact with each other. If you're into love stories or reading about identity in anyway, I'd recommend it.

Mild spoilers.
Although Akira's ignorance can come off as annoying to the reader, I think this story does a good job of not going into that trope. She's content with how things are, she's never really realized how much Makoto means to her as she's always just had him around. She's also never really explored who she is, her identity is in a way, molded by her environment and others opinions on her.

Makoto on the ... other hand is brimming with so much identity that it can be overwhelming and confusing. He knows it's not what's considered "normal" and hides it while also trying to hide his feelings for Akira.
