Bloody Monday Season 2

I just thought I'd add that so far Bloody Monday Season Two is quite good, though the main character does appear to suffer from 'Beginning of Second Season Main-Character-itis'. Yes, that is a long title for a disease, but it is fitting considering that sometimes the disease can last for a painfully long time.

Monday Bloody Monday

I have finally finished the manga 'Bloody Monday'! Be proud of me. XD

How long: 96 chapters. There's also a season 2.

Bloody Monday is about a hacker named Takagi Fujimaru who accidentally discovers a video with footage of a massacre, many people all succumbing to a very unnatural, very gory and bloody virus(dubbed 'Bloody-X'). Then, with the help of his friends and the organization his father works for, he goes head-to-head against a terrorist organization in an attempt to stop the upcoming tragedy, 'Bloody Monday,' from occurring.

It is a very interesting and captivating manga which I highly recommend

I rate this manga 8.5 out of 10.

Now I must go read Season 2 and then start the next on my list, Blue Heaven.

Sorry for the wait

Sorry for taking so long to finish Bloody Monday, but I am determined to finish reading Watchmen, and I'm worried that if I read manga before I finish it then I will open the book backward again...

I know, it's funny for me to be poasting this, considering how long it took me to finish Black Cat, and also because of the fact that absolutely nobody reads this, but whatever...

Anyway, as soon as I have finished Watchmen I will be reading Bloody Monday like a fiend again, so expect a review within the next week or so.

Blazer Drive

Blazer Drive is a manga with 17 chapters. However, each chapter is around 60 pages long, so it takes longer to read than one would expect. It updates monthly.

Anyway. It takes place in a society where they have developed 'Mystickers', which are similar to stickers(but larger and they don't fall off until they've run out of energy) but they have special powers. (ex. Lightning mystickers generate electricity, etc.)

On the day his brother 'dies,' the main character, Daichi, receives(from his 'dying' brother) a mysticker that will generate unlimited electricity. He is then told that he is a 'Blazer,' a person who can control mystickers. After he learns this information he is thrown into a Blazer faction(by a friend of his brother(who looks like he should be from TWEWY)) and rival and evil Blazer organizations start to target him.

It definitely falls under the category of 'GENERIC SHOUNEN,' but it's still good, funny, and interesting.

I rate this manga 7 out of 10.

It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either, and it was fun to read.

*checks list* Next is Bloody Monday!

Extension to The List

So, I was looking on onemanga, and I decided that since there were tons of new series that come out all the time, I shouldn't just be outdated.

As such, I'm looking through all of them and adding them to the end of the list.

The new ones are:

Ikigami
Magic Insulator
Switch
Knights
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
Needless
Q.E.D.

Yeah.

They look interesting.

I'm gonna go edit them into the bottom of my The List poast.

Black God / Kuro Kami

Okay, I admit, this is short time for me. I only read 3 chapters. Meh, I know, shun the Naki and stuff...

This looked promising, but it wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. The summary said it was about dopplegangers, which I've always thought were an interesting concept. But no, it wasn't that great... It was confusing and hard to follow, and I felt like reading it was a chore. I don't torture myself when reading things. Except Detective Conan, and that's just so I can say I've read all 707 chapters and then talk about how awful it is. I'm only sometimes masochistic. XD

Anyway. Also, the art style annoyed me. It didn't look like manga. It was also hard to follow.

But yeah. I'll give this story the benefit of the doubt and rate it 4 out of 10.

I'm sure it's very good to some people. Those people just aren't me.

To each his own.

Now on to Blazer Drive! That looked promising!

Black Cat

Why hello there, my 0.537 readers! I'm sorry for not poasting in a while, but Black Cat was 185 chapters long.

Anyway.

Black Cat is a manga about a sweeper(bounty hunter) named Train Heartnet, his partner Sven Vollfied, and Eve, the 'Little Princess'.

Train is an ex-member of an organization called Chronos, and all they really tell you about Chronos is that it is big and powerful and secret. Anyway. Black Cat is the story of Train and his companions as they go to defeat Train's ex-partner Creed, who wants to be god(where have we seen that before?).

Along the journey, Train and his companions meet new people, reveal their pasts, and get some nice, lovely character development.

It's kind of cheesy in its theme, but Black Cat reminds me of a bunch of awesome manga/anime/video games.

It seems like a combination of:

Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Tales of Symphonia
Alive - The Final Evolution
S-CRY-ed
And a bunch more that I had in my head while reading the manga but have now forgotten. Trigun and Cowboy Bebop the most, though. Train even has his own Rem, though her name is Saya and she's more of a love interest.

Anyway.

I rank this story 9.5 out of 10.

I'm tired of the asterisks thing, they are useless.

Anyway.

On to Black God(or Kuro Kami)!
