"Work, sleep, work, sleep... what a dull existence
Why even live?!
No hopes, no dreams
Everything’s predictable...
Suicide is salvation
But when you wake up in purgatory...
...and it's the same world you left?
One option left
Let's turn this fuckin' world upside down"

Anjuu no Chi

Don't listen to the Negative Nancy in the other review.
This is a fantastic manga that is a complete mindfuck. The lines between reality and fantasy are constantly blurred, and as usual, Naoki Yamamoto uses comedy and sex to hide the true darkness of the world for his characters. The art is fairly simplistic but Yamamoto draws some pretty backgrounds and spreads when he wants to. The characters are all unique and interesting and make every chapter colorful and full of comedy. I would recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of mangaka like Kyoko Okazaki or Paru Itagaki. The zany humor, cute art, ...

Kimetsu no Yaiba
(Manga)

Even for a battle shounen, Kimetsu No Yaiba is one of the most shallow, underwhelming stories that I've ever read to completion.
Between the lack of world-building, the shallow characters, to the abysmal final arc of the series, this series is genuinely a complete trainwreck. Even other mediocre shonen series like Tokyo Revengers and Boku no Hero Academia is mountains better than whatever this was. Maybe the worst part of all these series is the main antagonist, Muzan. There wasn't a single point in this series where a single plan of his made rational sense. If you're going to have one penultimate villain for your ...

I've read a lot of manga, but Vagabond is by far the best.
A lot of times in storytelling and in life itself, significant themes are strength and power. These two concepts have defined the history of this planet as wars have been fought and blood has been shed repeatedly over the concept of strength. In the Sengoku Era of Japan, this is interpreted as being the strongest warrior under the sun. Every samurai, ronin and fighter, in general, strives to reach this point, but 99% of them fall along the way. Shinmen Takezo -- a.k.a Miyamoto Musashi, is no different. His journey is ...

Tobaku Datenroku Kaiji

I am really confused as to why this part has not had an anime adaption yet. Even as someone who went into this part had ZERO IDEA about how mahjong is played (especially Japanese mahjong at that) I was absolutely engulfed by the story very quickly. What was supposed to be an easy win for Kaiji and the former, "45ers", turns out to be a lot more of a bargain than Kaiji fought for. The casino boss ended up being such a scumbag character it is great and as always in a Kaiji part, betrayal thy name is well every character. Plus, a certain monsters
