Kuro no Tantei
it's ok, the ending felt rushed. the mysteries were relatively simple, compared to other detective mangas. the art style is cute, but not really suitable for this kind of story; everything felt light-hearted and the atmosphere never really felt all that heavy when times called for it.
Ashita wa Ieru Kana
ending knocked off half a star. was cute story but needed more closure, esp for the childhood friend
She likes Homos, Not me
the themes and intent was there, but it was poorly executed with the relationships and stereotypes. if there was a point to the age gap relationship with the married man, well, im just not see it. and I'm not gonna act blind to the issues in the story, but simplifying the story a great deal to just incest, pedophilia is self-manifesting what the author is saying. in any case, the mc's internal struggles and process of coming to terms with his sexuality feels realistic and was touching. it might be a bit too melodramatic but he's a high schooler and society in japan frowns upon homosexuality. also, yall being too hard on the girl; she's a high schooler for god's sake
Shin Angyo Onshi
ch7. girl that is why u should wear clothes. it's so ridiculous why she still not wearing any actual clothes; she's practically naked; it's so stupid, especially in a battle with a sword wielder who can materialize invisible sword ki, not to mention superior to u in skill so why on earth is she still not wearing clothes??
edit: the ending was satisfying and bittersweet. it was a bit hard to get into in the beginning bc it felt somewhat directionless with the mc's motivations, but the plot after the backstory reveal accelerated and i binged the entire series. the story's very intense and thrilling and the art's phenomenal. the mc's a well-written edgy loner character. and the other charas are well-written morally gray charas as well (ie the ki swordsman, and hong gildong's bandit group). ill say the most glaring flaw would be the sando's scantily dressed self; it's just pure fanservice.
