50 Manga Series Challenge (2013 edition) (2/50 read)

Welcome to Manga Rants, a world dedicated solely to reviewing manga! Here you will find manga from most genres, since I shy away from nothing; consequently, you may find works ranging from shoujo to horror or even guro.

You can browse the reviewed manga:
- by genre: action | comedy | drama | horror | josei | psychological | romance | science-fiction | school life | seinen
shoujo | shounen | slice of life | smut | supernatural | yaoi
- by mangaka
- by status: complete (12) | ongoing (0)
- by type: oneshot (4) | series* (8)
- anime rants: shitty animation and stupidity galore!
- alphabetical list (all reviews)

* 3+ chapters

How do I rate manga?
Originality + creativity: 2 points - how often it was done, and how well it was done this time
Characters: 2 points - evolution, interaction etc.
Realism/believability: 2 points - does it make me roll my eyes or nod in agreement?
Flow: 1 point - disjointed or complete?
How much I enjoyed it: 3 points - because it's an opinion after all

Other notes
I am a fan of yaoi so I review yaoi titles as well. Don't worry - they're properly flagged and don't contain any explicit images or descriptions.

Deserted Place by MIHARA Mitsukazu

I wasn't really planning to review this, but I came across my Mitsukazu Mihara folder while sorting out mangas and -naturally- began reading ^_^" One thing led to another and I said to myself "hey, why not give it a shot?" This proved to be a chal...

Wild Fish by HIIRO Reiichi (yaoi)

The second yaoi feature! Alright, after all these good features, I figured I'd go more into the territory of "meh", which is precisely the most dangerous one because it's just so difficult to say why something is bad yet also not that bad...
