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.

Scarlet by MADARAME Hiro (yaoi)

When I first read this manga I was coming off of Hiro Madarame's "Akuma" series and was...quite disillusioned. The cover promised hawtness and it did deliver in that aspect, but the characters. U...

The Monkey's Foot by OSAKA Mieko

Dear readers, what I have for you today is something different from what I normally review. It's neither shoujo nor yaoi, though it does come close to the first in regards to the art. I came across it by accident and, oh boy, am I ever so glad I d...

Akuma na Eros by SHINJO Mayu

In my quest to somewhat reviltalize this world (by actually posting in it), I've decided to take another look at one of my first incursions into the shoujo smut genre, Akuma na Eros, and mercilessly take it apart. It's a story of moping t...
