*Caution there is a lot of ecchi moments in here. Not full on nudity but close.

Overall 7/10:
This is a decent series with the biggest flaw it has is the fact that it is such a short series. The story is decent, the artwork is nice, the characters have good development, but the length of the series just made everything seemed like a rushed when you're like 3/4 ... through with it. Overall I would recommend this since its a short but good read.

Story 7/10:
The story is really interesting. It has a pretty decent plot not too complicated but enough to keep the reader intrigue. It is a decent love story but you won't realize much of this not until later on in the manga. Of course this series is filled with lots of ecchi moments. There is no chapter that is ecchiless, so if you're not a fan of that, then this might not be your cup of tea. But if you look pass the ecchiness it is a decent story that you should give it a try.

Art 8/10:
I personally like the artwork of this series. The characters look really nice and the ecchi parts are of course pretty generic but good either way. The clothes are simple so its not that complicated.

Character 6/10:
The character development is pretty good in this series. The only thing it kind of lack was the cast, but with such a short series I can see why it mainly focused on the main character Machiro and Shirou. The character development between these two are pretty decent and is really cute. It is just sad that there wasn't a lot of character development for the other characters.

Enjoyment 7/10:
This was a pretty good read. At most it should take you like 2 hours to read because it is such a short series. The moments in the manga was really cute and funny sometimes. But those ecchi moments can kind of get old.

Shizukuishi, has a very strange problem. She constantly wets herself, and one day meet Kouki, the main protagonist. He accidentally drinks her pee and somehow they are connected by this strange light. Now he has to protect her along with his older sister Kaoruko, while Shizukuishi keeps on wetting herself.

Story: 2/10
Iinari! Aibration is a truly strange manga. It is a combination of ecchi and comedy with very little plot. All of this surrounding and involving Shizukuishi wetting herself. Every chapter would have her wetting herself over and over, sometime to a point where it is like a waterfall. Not exactly a pleasant picture. It is ... a comedy in nature but the gag surrounds itself in pee. Yes, pee. Every comedic scene it has almost always deal with peeing, like someone has to hold it in, or something like that. The story itself is really hard to grasp. It first starts of as slice of life ecchi comedy then somehow it tries to turn itself into an action ecchi comedy with a deeper plot. Sadly there is no deeper plot. It just seem like the story is spontaneous in nature. Whatever that came to the author’s mind was put into the story with very bad connection to the main plot.

Art: 7/10
The artwork is actually pretty good. Probably the main reason I was drawn to this manga was the great artwork it had. Of course with great artwork, comes with many scenes of good ecchi moments. Every chapter would have a pretty detailed picture of Shizukuishi or Kaoruko in a really ecchi scene.

Character: 3/10
The amount of character development is truly lacking. Shizukuishi is the always wetting herself girl, while Kouki is the guy that always tries to protect her. Also Kaoruko, Kouki’s older sister, obviously has a huge brother complex. The story starts off with a love triangle right away as Kaoruko tries to fight for Kouki’s affection, but he is too focused on Shizukuishi, and the fact that she is constantly wetting herself.

Enjoyment: 2/10
Honestly, I kind of regretted wasting my time on this manga. It did have some funny moment that made me chuckle. But the comedic gag was always with pee. So that was kind of disgusting. The ecchi scenes were good, but again, it was pretty nasty at the same time because it always dealt with pee.

Overall: 4/10
Overall Iinari! Aibration is a really strange manga not recommended for the average reader. It is a really ecchi manga with decent humor, but mainly it sticks with fanservice and very little plot. If you are looking for a good romance or comedy with good development, I suggest looking somewhere else. But if you’re looking for a no plot, just plain ecchi and comedy then this manga should work for you.

Yururizumu is about a young man named Suzuhara Hibiki who has a love for onsens or hot springs. He would travel around and record the numerous onsens he has been to. Until one day he says a spells that awakens the “Onsen Guardian” whom is a young and beautiful girl named Mahiru. Somehow, she can’t get back to the “World of Onsen” and now she is stuck in the human world. So she decides to stick on with Suzuhara.

Story: 5/10
The series is surprisingly short. The idea of having these spirits like beings that resides in onsens is a decent idea. It had potential to go ... much further but it didn’t. The story is somewhat of a comedy as each chapter shows the daily life of Suzuhara with Mahiru. Mahiru is totally clueless of the human world, and because of this sometimes cause trouble. The first half of the series gave the impression that it would be longer, but the last chapter just rushed everything and ended the series with a huge lack of plot development. Overall it had a somewhat ok story, it would have been much better if it was longer.

Art: 5/10
The artwork is nothing special. The main characters were pretty detailed and came out pretty good. Since this was a really short series, there were really little background characters as the story focused on the main characters.

Character: 4/10
The biggest flaw of this manga is probably the lack of character diversity. The characters are limited to basically 4 characters. With very little supporting characters and a very short story, it is hard to have a good plot and character development. Suzuhara Hibiki is the typical male protagonist that gets stuck in a harem. He is clueless to all the girls’ feelings, but is still the nice guy. Mahiru is your generic clueless klutz that tries to make everybody happy, but sometimes cause more problems than solve them. While Fujishiro Yukari is the tsundere class president that obviously likes Suzuhara. Even with those 3 in every chapter, there is still a great lack of character development and makes it hard for the reader to become attached or feel much emotion for the characters.

Enjoyment: 5/10
Yururizumu is an ok manga series. There were a few laughs in it, but it was just disappointing in the lack of character development. The artwork was fine, and wasn’t that special, so it made the series less spectacular and a tad bit more boring.

Overall: 5/10
Yururizumu overall is an average manga series. The story seemed like it had potential to go much farther than the 6 chapters, but sadly it didn’t. There is almost no character development or plot development. There are still some laughs to it, but beside that there aren’t any other noticeable points to point out. So if you’re looking for a really light and short read for a few laughs, Yururizumu should be alright for you. But if you’re looking for something a bit more serious and interesting, I suggest skipping this manga.

*Please beware of this manga mature sexual content*

Koibana Onsen, the place where love blossom, is a family run-inn by 3 sisters. To no surprise, it is a perfect atmosphere for a couple who just want to escape the world and express their love. It is filled with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and wonderful open air baths that just make the perfect mood. However, one day Akiyama Kazuhiro, after being dumped by his girlfriend and feeling bad on cancelling the reservations arrives at the inn. This is the first time a customer has come in without a partner, so the 3 sisters decides that they will ... try their best so he can have a good time like the other customers. After seeing how hard the girls worked, Akiyama decides to work there with them and help love blossom.

Story: 8/10
Koibana Onsen is an ecchi, slice of life romance type of manga. In the beginning, when Akiyama starts working there at the inn, it is filled with ecchi situations and some slight humor as he adjusts to get used to the inn. These somewhat standalone chapters are stories of the customers coming in and the different situations that love could create. Like two young lovers eloping or even a couple having their honeymoon. But as the story goes on, it becomes more focused on the romance. The transition from standalone ecchi chapters to more romance oriented chapters was done very well. The romance part of this manga does not simply focus on the romance between Akiyama and Nonoka, but also the supporting characters romance, like Moeka the youngest of the sister. The story at first may seem like a generic ecchi manga, but as you read on, you will find that it gives a pretty good love story.

Art: 6/10
The artwork of the story is pretty decent. The characters look alright, not much detailed put into them though. The variety of background characters is done pretty well since, each chapter has a new couple and they all look pretty well done and not repetitive.

Character: 8/10
The character development was truly well done in this manga. The love between Akiyama and Nonoka really does start off as a seed and slowly blooms to full love by the end of the series. The series does not only focus on Akiyama’s and Nonoka’s love, but also the love of the other characters too like Moeka, the youngest sister, and Fuuka, the oldest sister. So don’t be surprised by the lack of character development at first in the beginning of the manga, because as it goes on, the seed will slowly grow into a beautiful flower.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I thought that this manga was a pretty good manga. It was really ecchi, but ignoring that fact, it had a pretty good story line. The beginning started off as a nice slice of life, ecchi, comedy kind of feel that made it quite entertaining. Then it slowly becomes more focused on development and finally ends in a pretty good romance story.

Overall: 8/10
Overall Koibana Onesen is a pretty good ecchi/romance series. Since Koibana onsen is a place where love blooms, there is obviously a lot of loving going on there, so if you’re going to read this manga be prepared to see some pretty stimulating stuff. It has a decent storyline that goes at a nice pace, and does a superb job of slowly changing from a bunch of standalone chapters, with not much development, into chapters that is more focused on development. The transition happened so subtly that it was impossible to notice it. So if you’re looking for a nice read with decent plot and character development, Koibana Onsen should be good for you.

Mahoromatic is about a battle android named Mahoro. She is part of Vesper, an organization designed to deal with human-aliens relations like the Men in Black. Unfortunately her operating time is running out, and the only way for her to “live” on is to turn off combat mode and live a peaceful life. She chooses to become Suguru Misato’s maid and changes Suguru’s life.

Story: 7/10
The idea of the story is pretty decent. A combat android switching from goddess of war mode to a peaceful maid and serve a high school boy. The manga goes in a slice of life kind of pace, with plenty of ... ecchi moments and nice laughs. The plot of the first half of the series seem like a pure slice of life/romantic comedy sort of sense. But as you read deeper into the series it becomes a more serious turns as plot is quickly developed, but not in a rush that leaves you confused. The chapters are usually standalone chapters, very similar to a slice of life, and narrates the new life Suguru now have. Every now and then there is a serious turn as a new enemy appears and Mahoro has to fight it. Most of the times they are not serious battles. And after the battle, the peaceful comedic nature of the manga returns.

Art: 5/10
The artwork is really plain. The main characters are detailed just enough to distinguish them as the main characters, while background and supporting characters barely have any details at all.

Character: 7/10
The character development of the main characters Mahoro and Suguru is well done. The first few volumes make it seem like a typical slice of life/romantic comedy that would have little character development. But as the series goes on, character development is quickly achieved and done pretty well. The supporting characters on the other hands have almost zero character development. Mainly the supporting characters are just there as either fanservice or as part of a comedic gag.

Enjoyment: 8/10
The series was pretty enjoyable. It was filled with laughable moments along with heartwarming moments. The only part that may have been a problem was the last chapter/epilogue that may cause some confusion, but beside that, the plot is pretty straight forward and is easy to understand. Though, it could cut down on the fanservice a little bit. And some comedic gag was pretty repetitive, but overall it was a pretty fun read.

Overall: 7/10
Mahoromatic is a romantic comedy/slice of life manga filled with many surprises. Most of the chapters are standalone at first and seems like there is no plot development, but as you read on, it nicely develop into a decent plot, without the reader feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the sudden seriousness of the situation. The jokes it has are pretty decent, and the main character development are also quite heartwarming and done at a nice pace. Overall this is a manga series with decent plot that you should give it a shot if you like a nice paced romantic comedy/slice of life manga.

Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa, or Harisugawa in Mirror World, is about a young boy named Harisugawa Tetsu, who has a crush on Satomi Mao his childhood friend who is basically the school idol. He is stuck in the dreaded friend zone and cannot find a way to get out of it. Then one day Satomi buys a strange mirror that traps Harisugawa in it. Is this a misfortune that has befallen him? Or is it an opportunity for him to get closer to Satomi?

Story 8/10:
Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa a fresh new romantic comedy, where the hero, Harisugawa, is trapped inside a mirror ... and is trying to find a way out, but at the same time has to worry about protecting his crush, Satomi, from the swarm of guys chasing her. Each chapter is almost like a cliffhanger, leaving the reader wanting to read the next chapter and is filled with many jokes and laughter. Even though it is filled with laughter, there are still many touching moments that makes it fall under the romantic comedy genre. Technically the series was supposed to be longer, but the magazine decides to cancel it. Making the last few chapters somewhat of a rush, since the author had to quickly end it. However, the author does a remarkable of job of ending it. So those "rush" chapters doesn't feel like a rush and still maintain the flow of the manga.

Art 9/10:
The artwork of Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa is really nice. The characters look great and the background is fairly detailed. The author does a spectacular of displaying the characters emotions through the art style.

Character 8/10:
Unlike most romantic comedies, Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa has a really small cast consisting mainly of Harisugawa Tetsu, Satomi Mao, and Matsukawa Saki. Harisugawa has always been Satomi's guardian since childhood, protecting her from harassment from classmates to even saving her life, but because of that he was trapped inside the friend zone. Satomi on the other hand is totally oblivious to Harisugawa's feelings of course and is a total klutz to top it off. Matsukawa is Satomi's tomboyish best friend and knows that Harisugawa is heads over heels for Satomi, but doesn't tell her friends out of fear that the two's friendship will be compromised.

Enjoyment 10/10:
This series was really amazing. Its a fresh new story that had so much potential but was sadly cut short. Even though the announcement of the series being cancelled came in the middle of the whole story, the author did an amazing job of closing it without the reader feeling rushed and doesn't leave any sort of confusion. Overall Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa is a great new romantic comedy that is filled with both laughter and touching moment. It is a great short manga that you should read if you are looking for a good laugh and a fresh new plot.

Just a warning: I read Girls Saurus DX first then I just went and finished Girls Saurus (the prequel) just right now.

Girls Suarus DX is about a guy named Chiryuu Shingo. At first he seems like an average high school boy, but you later finds out that he has Gynophobia, or fear of women. Now at first it seems that there shouldn't be much of a problem, all he has to do is just avoid girls. That is the very problem. Because of his "cool" nature of trying to avoid girls, girls tend to like him. so he has a flock of girls chasing ... him. How is he going to get rid of his phobia?

Story: If you have read Girls Saurus, then you won't be surprised about what is going on and would get the nature of this manga. IF you haven't read the prequel skip to the next paragraph. Basically for those of you who HAVE read the prequel, it is a continuation of the madness that happened in the prequel. Girls Suarus DX is filled with the same kind of jokes and laughter. If you liked the first one, there is a chance that you might like Girls Saurus DX. If you are hoping for more plot/character development, you shouldn't bother reading then because it is almost the same as the first except longer and more laughter.

Now for those of you who HAVE NOT READ the prequel. Girls Saurs DX is somewhat of a comedy manga, with practically no plot development. If you are worried about missing anything in the prequel, don't be. Basically Girls Saurus DX does a great job of explaining things in the first few chapters about Shingo's problems and you should be fine. Now I will warn you that this manga has no plot/character development, if it does, I would have to say really little, or it took too long. So if you are looking for some decent plot in a romantic comedy like scenario, this is not the manga for you. BUT if you are looking for a short read and a laugh and don't have to worry about any important development, then this should work out for you.

Art: The art is pretty decent. The characters don't look too bad. They are well drawn, and the detail putted on them looked pretty good. Though many scenes are repetitive. So don't be surprised of the repeated scenes of Shingo's vision. Basically he sees every girl as a "dinosaur" hence the title Girls Saurus.

Character: As I stated above, there is almost no or little character development. In each chapter, Shingo is confronted with a problem (mainly dealing with girls). Now he finds some way, sometime pretty creative, to try to solve that problem. But in the end, he would get overwhelmed by girls or something like that. So it is repetitive, but funny to a certain extent. So if you are looking for a few good laugh, this should be a pretty good manga.

Enjoyment: This was a pretty short and fun read. I was surprised that the series ended so fast. Though some jokes get quite repetitive, but I just thought it was interesting how the author is able to stretch possible a plot that is worth maybe 10 ch max into 66. I have stated before that it is pretty repetitive, the idea yes, but the delivery no. So it was quite entertaining as I finished each chapter wondering what and how it will happen to Shingo next.

I'd appreciate some feedback whether or not this review was good or bad. Thanks!

Ai Yori Aoshi is about a young women named Sakuraba Aoi and her betrothed partner named Hanabishi Kaoru. They were engaged since they were young(An arrange marriage that would benefit both the Hanabishi and the Sakuraba families), but Hanabishi Kaoru left the Hanabishi due to a traumatic and abusive childhood caused by them. So the story starts with Sakuraba Aoi trying to find her beloved after not seeing Hanabishi for 18 years. In those 18 years she had spent her time training diligently to become a good wife for Hangabishi(cooking, flower arranging, even wearing traditional Kimono everyday). Then one fateful day she meets him in ... a train station and their story begins.

Story: Ai Yori Aoshi is a romantic comedy that by itself differs from the average harem/ecchi types. The plot is fairly simple. It is 153 chapters, but when you read it, the story flies by fairly quickly. Mainly the chapters deal with the development of the relationships between Sakuraba Aoi and Hanabishi Kaoru as they try to understand each other, and reach true happiness together. Now that just seems like the average romance genre, but here comes the slight twist that makes this a pretty good romance and harem manga. The depth of the side characters makes the manga more interesting and enjoyable. Instead of having those side characters that are just "there" maybe for like a short arc, Ai Yori Aoshi takes it to the next level by making the side characters/love rivals have more depth. Like they first start out with no feelings or unsure feelings for Hanabishi but slowly realizes their feelings for him and start showing signs or attempts to capture his heart. So this is what makes Ai Yori Aoshi a pretty good mix of heart touching romance and comedic harem/ecchi type manga.

Art: The artwork was pretty plain and simple. Which helped reflected the nature of the manga. The scenery are always detailed and looked really good. The characters themselves looked pretty good and simple, not too much of the overly huge eyes you would see in most harem manga/anime.

Character: A strong point of this manga was probably the depth of not only the main characters like Hanabishi and Sakuraba, but also the side characters like Foster Tina and Miyuki Mayu. Not to spoil too much here, but what you will find in Hanabishi is that he is quite different from the average harem male. Whom most of the time is considered a "loser" in their series. In Ai Yori Aoshi, Hanabishi is not a "loser." He is actually quite intelligent, reliable, and caring. You can easily see this in the beginning and constantly throughout the series. Unlike other harem protagonist, where their "good" side is usually seen when it is used to capture a girl's heart. Sakuraba Aoi is also quite different from the average female lead in the sense that she is sure of her undying love for Hanabishi and also her ability to keep cool and self restraint. Where in most female leads in this genre they are unsure of it and when they are in a relationship they become somewhat overprotective. Now the supporting cast themselves are also quite complex. As you slowly learn about their problems and feelings the further you read. The depth of these supporting characters is probably by far one of the best I have ever read. And as mention before, there are multiple chapters that is used to help understand the supporting characters, so the story isn't just entirely focused on the two lovers, but also the people around them.

Enjoyment: This manga was a pretty fast read. Being a fan of harem and romantic comedy genre, I was not disappointed about this series at all. Instead it has raised my standards of the the genre and is a good example of what could happen if the authors of romantic comedy and harem genres tried more to cut down on the ecchi and add more depths in the characters they have created. So I would encourage you to give this series a try and hopefully you would enjoy it as well.

And I would really appreciate if you could give me some feedback if my review was good or bad. Thanks!

Kobe Hitoshi, a young guy who sucks at sport and school, basically a loser in life who's bad luck never seem to end. But he has one amazing talent, computer programming, mainly A.I.s He created so many programs, but his most pride and joy would be Program 30, Nambe Saati, who he actually likes. Then one day, Saati comes to life as in moving from 2D to 3D, and becomes his girlfriend. Now the madness can begin hahaha

Story: The plot is again not so complex as it is a romantic comedy and somewhat of a harem series. Though in it simplicity, it was a pretty ... touching and funny short read about an A.I. trying to learn how to be human.

Art: The artwork is pretty simple. Not too complex and decent. The scenes are somewhat nice. I especially love how the author makes the cyber world looks like an ocean, that part was pretty cool. However there is the exaggeration of those ecchi scenes. I just feel like every chapter Hitoshi has to somehow accidentally grab one of the girls boobs or flip their skirts etc. But overall it had some good artwork.

Character: For those of you who have read Love Hina, there is a great resemblance between Saati and Naru, like they look so alike. Well for character development, there was some to an extent. Good enough in my opinion for a somewhat short series. The character development for Saati and Hitoshi was quite a lot for such a short series as both become more mature, and Saati starts to become more human, while Hitoshi starts to become more independent and have more confidence in himself.

Enjoyment: This was a pretty good short series. Though sadly I felt that it could have been longer, especially near the end, it was a real rush as the author had to hurry and end it. Personally I really liked this short and sweet series and really wished that it could have been longer. Well hope that this review was helpful. If it wasn't please comment on why it wasn't and if it was please comment too so I can improve my reviewing skills!

School Rumble is mainly about Harima Kenji, Sawachika Eri, Tsukamoto Yakumo, and Tsukamoto Tenma. The story revolves mainly around these 4 characters and switches between these 4 characters and their point of view, giving a really random like manga.

Story: There is not really plot at all, it is more like a day to day, slice of life manga. So if you are looking for a somewhat decent plot, I would have to say that you shouldn't read this manga, BUT if you are looking for something random and somewhat funny, School Rumble would probably be one of your best bet. The story switches point ... of view between the 4 characters: Harima Kenji, a high school delinquent who is madly in love with Tenma and write manga. Sawachika Eri, a rich snobby girl who is always getting in with misunderstanding with Kenji. Tsukamoto Yakumo, the freshmen perfect girl but extremely quiet, and her older sister Tsukamoto Tenma who is a naturally born klutz, that make you wonder if a brain even exist in her head sometime. However in all of this chaotic randomness and comedy, there are times where things get more serious. Now in my opinion School Rumble is like those 500 piece puzzles that a piece by itself doesn't make anything, but once put together you get a pretty good satisfying story.

Art: The artwork is decent. The characters aren't too complex and are nice and simple, but are definitely funny. Also the scenes are really varied but mainly takes place at school, but again it is pretty good, not great.

Character: At first you see that gosh this series is just random, and that there can possibly no character development. But surprise surprise there is, every now and then in this carefree and comedic manga, there are times where things take a serious turn. At those time you can see the character development between each character. The characters can evoke so many emotions from happiness to sadness, which is quite great for a pretty random like manga. Now the supporting cast is just HUGE in my opinion I had a really hard time trying to remember who was who, but luckily, they're only supporting characters :P

Enjoyment: This was a manga serious that was quite entertaining. Gave me plenty of laughs, and there were many times where it was touching, but overall it was great manga. One great thing about it is that each chapter could almost practically be stand alone, so even if you take a somewhat long break from School Rumble, it was really easy to pickup where you left off and kept the momentum going. But overall it was really random manga filled with laughter, but sometimes it was just touching and those parts just added to the quality of this great manga. Hope this review was helpful. If you thought that this review was helpful or not please comment and say why please, so I can improve :D Well hope you enjoy this manga!
