World Trigger Chapter 76 review

World Trigger Chapter 76 Story & Art by Daisuke Ashihara Review


With Osamu and Chika’s lives continuing to be in the balance, one of the most important battles in the series to date takes place. The entire affair plays out with much imagination and excitement. This chapter was very well done. It showcases Ashihara’s great artwork and it is nice to see some character development however brief for series’ mascot Replica. In conclusion, despite having gone on for roughly half a year, this arc continues to be well worth reading. 

Nisekoi Chapter 140 review

Nisekoi Chapter 140 Story & Art by Naoshi Komi Review


Instead of creating any actual tension or plot developments, as per usual, the series decides to waste the audience’s time by resolving the chapter with a wacky joke. The problem with Nisekoi is that, at any given time, the plot could be so easily resolved.  Yet the series chooses to drag on carrying the audience with it. Also of note the princess who had been at the centre of the series for a full month is notably missing this chapter. So in conclusion Nisekoi’s most recent chapter accomplishes little if anything as per usual; make of that what you will.

Sporting Salt Chapter 2 review

Sporting Salt Chapter 2 Story & Art by Yuto Kubota Review


                As a protagonist Shioya makes for an entertaining lead the problem is the rest of the series which is mediocre at best dull at worst. I feel it is worth mentioning the main cast from chapter 1 does not even appear in this chapter. The problem with this chapter and I fear will be for the series as a whole is that we are given so little time and reason to care about the story. The formula is already starting to wear thin after just a few chapters. So in conclusion, you could probably skip this series. 

Hi-Fi Cluster Chapter 3 review

Hi-Fi Cluster Chapter 3 Story & Art by Ippei  Goto Review


                With the mechanics of the world out of the way we now finally get to see the first character in the series colorful supporting cast. The protagonist is still as dull as ever but the world and other cast members make the series worth a read. The action is slick in this chapter showing a marked improvement over the first two chapters. So all-in-all the series seem to improve with each passing chapter and is a lot of fun.

elDLIVE Chapter 1 review

elDLIVE Chapter 1 Story & Art by Akira Amano Review

Thought of as crazy by all his classmates, Chuta‘s life turns upside down one day when he meets a little blue alien. Forced to choose whether or not to become a space police officer, Chuta chooses the former but first he must pass a test that further warps the world he thought he knew. Will he succeed?

elDLIVE is a great read! The protagonist is decently compelling; the comedy works more often than not, the ideas are interesting, and the series is poised to be a fun read. Amano’s art is probably the greatest point about the series. It is gorgeous, full color artwork that really grabs the eye. I really have no complaints about it.


It has plenty of potential and begins to show it near the end. Okay, I suppose I have one complaint, before the plot kicks into full gear the school life was rather dull. Otherwise, elDLIVE is an easy to recommend read!

Seraph of the End Chapter 25 review

Seraph of the End Chapter 25 Story by Takaya Kagami, Art by Yamato Yamamoto, Story Boards by Daisuke Furuya Review


                This chapter is largely forgettable. It serves mainly as a start of a pointless and out of nowhere battle between Yuichiro and his superior along with the friends they both have. It feels rather odd as they are currently waiting on an impending attack by the vampires. What I am trying to say is this fight serves little purpose than to increase the series page count and delaying the battle between humans and vampires which the series has been building up for several chapters. The art is slick as per usual but this plot thread could have been cut altogether and no one would be the wiser.

One-Punch Man Chapters 37.2 & 37.3 review

One-Punch Man Chapters 37.2 & 37.3 Story by ONE, Art by Yusuke Murata Review

                These chapters exhibit the series’ best points namely its cool art and slick action scenes. One-Punch Man makes for a great read on a regular basis. It is mindless fun. It really is a shame they were rather short chapters though as at times it feels insubstantial. In conclusion, these chapters of One-Punch Man are well worth reading and make for a pleasant diversion.
