I'maMangareader's Reviews

The wacky artwork of the penguin drew me to this manga as it just emanates Japanese humor. However, there are better stories out there that got less volumes than this series did. You have housework tutorials, a hardworking penguin that gets no reward and the occasional side character.

What MangaPlaza needs is a lot more cute and innocent stories like this. A manga that fits this criteria that comes to mind is called Kimi to Iru to (or in English When I'm With You) by Kagami Fumiwo which was originally liscensed by JManga at two volumes but as they are now defunct and the Japanese publisher of kimi to iru to is Futabasha (one of MangaPlaza's partners), it would be great if MangaPlaza picked it up and translated it to completion!

If you have read Love in Focus or Living Room Matsunaga-san and liked the setting of each story, then I'd recommend you give this a try.

What you may have noticed about this manga is that there are two of them on MangaPlaza. They are the same story but two different formats. And I commend it for that. Having the choice to read either the original format or a vertical scrolling format for other manga and not just have some stuck in the scrolltoons format would be a good feature for this website.

While taking inspiration from the older works of its genre, it still can't beat them in terms of story. The artwork is great, but the character development could use some improvement.

As the description of this oneshot on MangaPlaza appears to just be a copy paste of the story Another Side of You by the same author. Here is a short summary so you can accurately judge if you want to read this or not:

Students balancing their dreams alongside reality, the honor student in their last year of high school still doesn't know her future aspirations yet.

If oneshots are going to be available in english, you would usually find them as amongst other single chapters in an anthology book. So these single oneshots are becoming a staple of manga subscription services.

It's not often you will find a single oneshot (short story contained within one manga chapter) get licensed for English readers. But it seems that the majority of tsunami minatsuki's library is available to read.

So from my understanding, this version of sailor moon just has updated cover art, a revamped translation and more pages per book (approx 300 each).

While the title of this series reminded me of a manga I had heard of before, the overall settings are quite different from one another. Plus, what's so bad about being an otaku? Someone having the confidence to like what they like and not care about what others think is quite admirable in most cases.

This was on my to read list for a while but I decided to take it off of the list. Not because it is bad or anything. The concept seems rather cute. I just have a lot of manga to finish.

The girl on the cover reminds me of the FML from a series called Yagi-kun to Mei-san by Bikke which I would definitely purchase if MangaPlaza were to license it!

While music manga is hard to connect with as you can't hear what the song they are playing sounds like, this story looks like a rather rhythmic read.

The first half of this series stays true to the title of the manga, seeking revenge on a character per chapter, but the second half just turns into a love triangle and drama.

With a successful Netflix adaptation and many versions (some being free) on apple books, here you have yet another version of this floaty yet dramatic tale.

For those of you who are wondering why these British plays are being turned into manga, it is because OELs exist, which stands for original English language. These stories have been drawn by manga artists but the manga itself was not initially released in Japan first. So no translation has been done.

I can speak for most manga readers when I say that we don't care for manga adaptations of stories that have been told time and time again, through many different media types. We want translators and editors to spend their time working on new and original stories, true manga that was published in Japanese magazines with shounen or shojo demographics.

This might be good for those studying Romeo and Juliet for an english paper at school and find it easier to memorize the story with images. But having so many different adaptations of the same story already, its getting quite tedious.

More like a bored rich girl who feels the need to poke her nose into other peoples business. This story is not for me.
