First time is a harm, second time is a charm
This manga is the sequel to previous manga and is set in the same universe as previous Kodoku. The theme of it is still the same but is somewhat refined than prequel. What changed then? Is art what influences you to think its a better story? Or was the prequel there just to flesh out this sequel in a better way? Short answer, it is both (according to me).
I will try to summarize my own feelings towards this manga in a few sentences.
I loved it. I definitely liked the darker themes and the puzzles in the
...
manga but more so its connection with the prequel that at the end of manga constantly lit up my light bulb in the brain. Rather than feeling hooked, I felt I was in a movie hall watching an amazing story unfold in front of me.
Absolute cinema moment for me.
For people highly disappointed with Dokumushi, they should definitely read the sequel for they will be overjoyed. For satisfied readers of Dokumushi, it will be like getting a blowjob while winning all the gambled money.

Dokumushi manga is themed around the idea of actual dokumushi which in simple words means to find the most poisonous insect by making them fight eachother to death. This occult manifests itself in a closed environment replacing the insects with humans and thus the story progresses.
I will be honest, its a shitty story. It has a cliche story line, something along the lines of occult battle royale. But, one can just skim through it just to pass their time. It is a shitty manga which exists to tell us about the meiocre content that exists out there so that we can appreciate the good
...
horror content.
I personally like this manga to the level that I can say that its a good manga that I would read once and move on. Its like ordering an unknown dish from a restaurant you like but you dont really like it or hate it. Its not tasteless either but its not noteworthy either.
If you like shitty gore with absolute trash plotlines (I do), this manga is for you.

"New workplace, new me. I won't let anyone find out that I am a hopeless otaku! Yes, I have changed my wallpaper to something normal." No, this is not you but our shujinkō(主人公) Momose Narumi who is a fujoshi or a yaoi fangirl.
This story is about a girl who doesn't want her colleagues to find out that she is into BL even after becoming a part of working society. The twist is ,of course, when she mistakenly bumps into her childhood friend, Nifuji Hirotaka, who knows about her "hobby" in the same workplace.
"First mission assignment, silence Hirotaka." And of course our Hirotaka is dense and
...
emotionless which is opposite to Momose's personality.
The story develops into something more interesting in each episode and slowly they find other colleagues with same type of hobbies. They interact and become friendly enough to talk about it.
The story progression is somewhat special because rather than character development, what's more observable is that the characters are opening up to eachother which in my opinion isn't character development. Pacing of story is not to fast or too slow but isn't exactly comfortable either. It's something difficult to explain the pacing so watch for yourself to understand it.
The character setting is really fantastic. First, we have Nifuji, a game otaku.
Next, we have a fudanshi(though he never refers to himself as that in whole series), the guy who loves Yuri, Kabakura Tarou.
And lastly, a comrade of Momose, who's also into BL and a cosplayer, Koyanagi Hanako.
The best part about this character setting could be seen in later episodes when other people from workplace were shown and their views about them.
For me Kabakura-senpai was simply the best not because he and I share the same interest but because his VA is Sugita Tomokazu. Sugita-san is also VA of Gintoki.
The animation was what would be expected but it wasn't anything notable. Could say it was decent. The representation was somewhat appreciable since there were a lot of references from famous anime and to games both directly and also in background so look out for them in anime. I especially loved the scenes where they would play online games and their game avatars would look like them.
Special Mention
I truly liked the character Nifuji Naoya, younger brother of Hirotaka. His presence itself was heartwarming and his VA was just as amazing as the character.
This was my first office anime so I am not sure if I will find something better than this in genre but I truly enjoyed it and don't think it will change in future.
All in all, I really enjoyed watching this and would totally recommend you to watch this especially otakus who are contributing to society.

This is a short series but I really loved. One of the resons being the title was deeply connected with both story and character which only catlysed it to give it a good end. Yes reader, it has a good end so dont be anxious and read it to heart's content.
The flow and development in story was just right. It could also be termed flawless. Even though story being a little simple, the representation was amazing. Every scene had some meaning attached to it, not only from MC's POV but also from side characters that appeared in it.
Even if it was a story about criminal
...
in prison, its scene were rather dull than expected from setting which was not a bad thing but rather heartwarming and empathetic. The art was decent and not over the top so it melded well with the story.
All in all this was just a vague review to make you read this manga.

I saw the review before and was not quite satisfied with it so I am writing this review.
First of all this was the other manga of Nujima that I read, the first being Maidens, Mysteries and Mysterious Disappearances. I fell in love with art. When I say art was 10, I rate it by clarity, detailing, character silhouette and its synergy with story.
"So Torako is a clumsy girl who breaks everything, hmm interesting" was my first impression. Wrong was I who thought this. She is a superstrong girl who cant control her strength! Yes, she is muscular and damn if she isn't tall.
The characters being
...
delinquent and all girls was quite enjoyable. It's difficult to say that there was character development but with guarantee it can be said that you will always read it with at least a grin if not a smile.
The end was quite enjoyable and last chapter just was too good. There is however a story development to look forward which is quite justified.
All in all this was just a vague review to make you read this manga.

This is my first review so pardon for any mistakes whatsoever and hope that what I want to convey reaches you.
This story is based on the world where dreams can be extracted and be watched as a movie. Wonderful ,right? NO wrong, it's not. Well the end will justify this if you read it.
What really made me like this was the sci-fi element of story and how well author bend it for bringing out great emotions out of just a few scenes. The art is so-so i.e. characters are differentiable from eachother.
Yes, I enjoyed it? I still have mixed feelings about how story ended because
...
of psychological element and the just ending presented.
All in all this was a vague review of this oneshot to make you read it.
If this was 3rd placed, then how good would be the 1st and 2nd placed oneshots would be. Food for thought!
