This basically covers the rest of the fights against the students/classmates of the JuJu's.

I really liked the way each fight gave us some flashbacks to flushout all the characters. I mean it's a tactic animes/mangas like Yu Yu Hakusho and Naruto did, but it works here. It also relates to the fights so that helps a ton. I really got attached to characters I never much cared for before. Especially a freaking Panda...this series is weird but works so well.

Also, the humor is spot on here. So many great Lolz moments and the fight scenes get better and better. So easy to follow, look great, and plenty of them. The bad guys take a seat this round, though the last two pages let you know shit is about to get real.

Jujutsu Kaisen started decent but now it's getting really good. Love to see a manga improve volume by volume. Give me more. A 4 out of 5.

The end of a era! No really, this is like the first major part of One Piece ending. Also Vivi is now gone and it makes me sad because she's like the hottest.

So Luffy goes against croc again and this time he's learned a little secret. So the brutal fight begins and man oh man by the end we get some epic moments. On top of that the political war ends in a great and satisfying way. I also think the start of the next arc, after get over the brief intermission of monkey man and the strawhats, starts getting good. This is where Luffy is most badass for me.

Overall, it's still great. One Piece has great writing, awesome art, and solid pacing. Now we're on to my favorite part of the series! A 4 out of 5 for this.

Wow this was literal trash.

Every wanted to read a zombie story with tons of panties shots and no redeeming characters? Welcome to Highschool of the Dead.

Zombie genre is over-saturated to begin with. So if you coming to try it you better be unique or at least fun. This is neither. This is generic zombie tale in school. Every single character is annoying, cry baby, or just a brute. There's no different. Every girl is weak and fragile save for a sword user. Oh and don't worry about plot or character development, you get the panty shots you've been wanting. One after another. All the same type of stripped panties with girls of all the same over dramatically skinny and sexually charged poses.

This wouldn't be so bad if the story was decent. Or we had decent characters. But neither is here.

I guess the art is okay? Blah. Fuck this series.

Sure getting my moneys worth on this Shonen Jump app. $2 a month people. Get on it!

So this is about Ryunosuke and his new sister. Well, his father brings home a little girl who is almost completely disabled and tells Ryu that she'll be his new sister. Super reluctant at first he takes the job as older brother. When he learns that he might just care for her the story explodes into the Super natural territory and monsters come hunting.

This was fairly shonen but in a way I was intrigued by the world and characters. I really liked the brother/sister dynamic and felt it worked well especially in the 2nd half. The twist on the father was great too. I also enjoyed the fights, especially at the end, both well drawn and exciting.

While I think it was cliche at points and far to much babbling/exposition at times, it still made me want to try the 2nd volume. A 3 out of 5.

As the title suggest, the rematch is on.

Kakashi verses itachi but this time kakashi has Naruto and Sakura to back him up. On top of that we have Lee and Guy and the crew verses Fish Face. So all this is happening while Garaa is getting his creature thingy sucked out of him. Plenty of intense battles, pretty good emotional bits, and a ending that leaves you wanting more.

Naruto as a title is surprising me because I was pretty invested in this. Not quite on a 4 star but a easy 3.5. I think I might enjoy Naruto more this time around.

Bleach continues to get better and better as we finally reach the best part of the manga.

Ichigo has to save Rukia but in order to do so he has to go through all of soul society. First he must face off against the underlings before he gets over to the Captains. This emotional fueled volume not only has him showing off his new skills but Chad and the Quincy master as well. Action packed, stakes rising, Rukia given hope, and some well placed emotion bits help elevate this title to the next level. A 4 out of 5.

Defenders stars Luke Cage, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist just like the TV show and...it's much better than the TV show.

Bendis might get a lot of hate but the guy made Luke Cage popular, had one of the best runs ever on Daredevil, and Made Jessica Jones who she is today. So with that they must team up when Diamondback comes into town wanting to run shit. It's not easy for the four to team up and even when they do they might have their hands full with this guy.

This is actually a lot of fun. Good humor, great fight scenes thanks to the awesome art, and a fast pacing story. I think the Punisher is written really bad here though. Like he does a lot of stupid shit that makes no sense. I think Bendis secretly hates the Punisher lol.

Overall though this was a ton of fun. Gonna finally read part 2 soon to finish up this limited series and hope for more Defenders down the line.

The first chapter is nice and chill. Like hey, come, let us all be friends.

THE EVERYTHING GOES WRONG. Kidnapping, abuse, murder, vampires vs vampires, and more. It all comes into crazy fighting, emotional bonds form and break, and even a blowjob stuck in there. This is a much quicker paced volume than 1 and lots of brutality but I'm already sucked in. This author might turn his best work here. A 4 out of 5.

This volume was messy at first but the ending got me hyped for what is to come.

So as expected, a new race comes into play and they want to get rid of one of the lanterns group. Sadly it's the Blue Lanterns. The nice guys who only help people. WHAT THE HELL, MAN!? But we gotta do what we gotta do and the new Guardians all team up to protect them against Blue Beetles crazy Scrap race people.

Like I said the start was jumbled and too much happening at once. Now as easy flowing as volume 1. But luckily about 2 issues in it begins to change course and fix itself and I really ended up enjoying it by the end. The last few pages really build up some horrible shit heading their way and with Kyle alone now, how will he face it?

A 3.5 out of 5.

Whoa it has been a LONG time since I loved a new issue 1 (basically issue 1 as Mariko takes over the reigns on WW.

This has everything I love about wonder Woman. She's a leader, a protector, a fighter, and freaking adorable!!!! You get a brief glimpse of who she is at the start and then we head into her everyday life with her new building neighbor. They go shopping and terrible thing happens where a mother almost kills her own child over mind control. So Diana investigates and finds out she might be facing a old foe.

This is exciting and fun with amazing art. Mariko KNOCKS it out of the park here. I'll be adding this series to my pull list. Finally. Wonder Woman is BACK!
