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on onemanga, and I decided that since there were tons of new series that come out all the time, I shouldn't just be outdated.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

Billy Bat

Billy Bat is a manga about a comic artist who, one night, heard that someone had seen a drawing of his main character while in Japan. The artist decides that he can't let himself steal it and so visits Japan while trying to figure out where he had seen it. He then gets caught up in a huge murder case and there are lots of conspiracies and yeah. It's by the same person who wrote Monster. (Can you tell? I can.)

Anyway, it's really good.

I rate it 8 out of 10 for epic justice.

********

It's only thirteen chapters long so far but it's updating.

Bartender

Bartender is (obviously) a manga about a young bartender who supposedly mixes really delicious drinks. The manga is him working at a bar, helping customers and brightening people's days. It's all very interesting, though a bit cheesy.

Another interesting quirk is that the main character remembers absolutely everything perfectly(a trait shared, in fact, by the main character of the last manga I read).

The manga is ongoing and irregular, but at present only contains 15 chapters. It updates slowly, as far as I can tell...

Anyway, it's more interesting than I make it seem, and I rate it 7 out of 10. While not quite a must-read, it is enjoyable and even slightly informative.

Asterisks asterisks asterisks~~~

*******

But yes, it is very good and a short read.
