Issho ni Neyou yo by Takao Shigeru

            Genre: Shojo

            Length: 6 Volumes - 35 Chapters

            The art of Issho ni Neyou yo is cutesy with detailed eyes and simple hair. Clothes are relatively simple but they grow cuter and more detailed as the manga continues. Backgrounds aren't particular to note, half drawn and half tones. There’s not much to say for or against the art, what you see is what you get. Not to spoil anything, but the main male in this story constantly wears children's cartoon masks so the way that emotion is played through them is very well done, as well as conveyed through just the lower part of the face, too.

            Ichiko Usami has run away from home and has no where to go, tired, cold, and alone she has almost given up hope finding someone to stay with but will do anything to stop from returning. When a person in a mask startles her, she falls and loses consciousness but no before tentatively accepting the masked man's offer of help. Ichiko awakes in a strange house full of people who seem to having nothing in common with one another but act as a family. She wants to accept their kind offer to stay but when she finds out a child is also staying in the house she suddenly wants nothing more than to run away.

            Don't let the cute art fool you, this manga has a lot of tragic elements to it. I'd say this is a love story between broken people. So its not a feel good shojo, but it has its light moments. The characters all have their own eccentricities and the story follows through their strangeness, and gives you a good long look at the main two. There were some skips between chapters where you started a little confused at how it connects to the chapter before it. It also moves fairly slowly, but I didn't mind that until the very end, all the same the ending is satisfying; you even get a love story you weren't expecting in the background. Its not a story to be read over and over again, but I would look at it again in a few years time. I enjoyed it on a rainy afternoon and that’s just about all you can ask for on such days. The story is compelling and the characters are easy to go along with.

           4/5 Recommended possible crying material if you happen to be in the mood.

Shadow Lady by Masakazu Katsura

Art and story (c) Masakazu Katsura

Shadow Lady by Masakazu Katsura



            Genre: Shonen (bordering on Seinen)
            Length: 4 Volumes - 24 Chapters and one special


            Same mangaka that made I''s and, apparently, did the character design for the anime Tiger and Bunny, just in case you wanted to know. Art is fairly polished. The character designs and faces are actually very similar to Trigun in a lot of respects. Hair is angular and what used to pass as 'anime hair' in the 90's meaning people with awkward looking bangs and gravity deifying spikes (think Yu-Gi-Oh and Cloud from FF VII). I often find such hair off putting personally. Body proportions are a little chunky, this being a sexy manga the main character is often shown with as little clothing as possible so you see a lot of poses that don't look sexy even though they are supposed to be. If you disagree, I suppose you can blame the fact that I'm a girl, but this isn't an improper body image problem it is legitimately the way it is drawn. The backgrounds come and go, sometimes they are blank, but the city shots are usually good so the blank ones seem less obvious than they are. Clothing is, for girls, cute and girly with proper flow and drape, actually anything that’s not a magic suit is usually fairly modest, and it is generic shirts 'n' jeans or suits for the men. Shadow Lady's outfits are very, very tight but, except for a few unflattering wrinkles in the skin tight leather, are still designed well and are fun to look at.
            Aimi is painfully shy she can't even look a person in the eyes when she is speaking to them, even towards people she knows she turns bright red and rushes away quickly when dealing with them. But Aimi has a secret waiting at home for her, a secret that allows her to leave behind her stuttering personality and be free. At night the thief known as Shadow Lady prowls Grey City, and this outgoing and shameless thief is actually Aimi in disguise. Thanks to her magical compact of eyeshadow, Aimi can take to the night whenever she wants to steal whatever she wants and the police can do nothing to stop her. But when Aimi falls hard in love for a man will she give up Shadow Lady for the normal life?

            One part magical girl manga, two parts phantom thief manga, and five parts upskirt shots, Shadow Lady has its charm; a charm that keeps you reading despite the many many panty shots. The humor helps a lot, too, as it is almost making fun of it's own genre while just being plain silly. Shadow Lady herself is just a ball of fun while she commits her crimes, but there is a plot, of a sort, that deepens through out the four volumes. Truthfully, it could have been longer (not its fault since it was canceled), but you do get a fairly good ending even if it isn't as satisfying as it could be. Really, I don't know what to say about this manga beyond that. Its simple and fun to read what more does anyone need to know? Even though my copy was a Dark Horse comic version that flipped the pages so I kept reading the panels in the wrong direction, I enjoyed it. The special at the end is a bit like a re-telling of the story with slightly different character designs, its not amazing but it gives its own twist to the premise that’s fun and light. Doesn't add anything to the main story, just to warn so you are not disappointed.



4/5 Recommended, don't mind the buttocks.

Himitsu no Himegimi Uwasa no Ouji by Kauta Mato

Himitsu no Himegimi Uwasa no Ouji (Secret Princess Rumored Prince) by Kauta Mato
        
            Genre: Shojo
            Length: 2 Volumes - 9 Chapters and a oneshot at the end of the first volume

Art and story (c) Kauta Mato

            The art has an amateur look to it, but not in an off putting way just the proportions are a little shaky at first. The faces have variety and the expressions are easy to read, the eyes are a little simple but show up well under the chunky-spike type hair. The hair itself flows and falls well and has excellent shape through out. Clothes are medieval-esque, at the most part simple but the details are nice to look at when they catch your eye. Body types are thin with wide shoulders for the men and just thin for the ladies, but clothes fit well on the frames. I don't recall too many blank panel backgrounds, either, most had at least some half tones. Once in a while hands looked a little awkward but it wasn't even noticeable after the first two chapters.
            In a world where princes run around with their shirts open to the second button and princesses are allowed to go any where they want with a one person escort, lives princess Aldina of the kingdom of Roochen. Recently rumors have been springing up about her getting engaged with a prince of a small country who has such a terrible reputation that people have begun to take pity on their sheltered princess. Taking the initiative for the first time in her life after hearing her maids gossip, Aldina cuts her hair short, dresses as a merchant's son, and goes to visit Galnia, her fiancee's kingdom, to see for herself if the rumors about him are true. Despite the fact that she is only supposed to see prince Izzy and leave before she is caught, Aldina finds herself literally falling into the prince's lap. He seems very unlike a prince, but can that mean the rumors of his wild nature are true?
            At two volumes this manga is perhaps stretched a little, but it has a solid ending so it makes it hard to mind the several chapters that used the same plot. I almost categorized this as a cross dressing manga but the cross dressing parts are really only surface deep so I'm not going to count it. Prince Izzy is the strong and quiet type while Aldina is the easily flustered type and that is a good combination for cuteness. I, despite the very vague nature of what exactly these people are prince and princesses of, thoroughly enjoyed this manga. I've never minded vagueities though. Art is solid, shojo fluff is solid, and the couple is solid. I've read way worse royalty getting married manga (and books) in my time. Its not heavily dramatic but there's plenty of action and what not to keep one amused through out. I'd read it again, for sure. The included one shot is even good, and some times just skimming those things are enough, I wouldn't skip it next time, either. It wasn't a long or deep read but for what it is, a fluffy shojo about royalty, it is of high quality.


5/5 Very Recommended

99% Cacao and Slice of Black Chocolate

99% Cacao by Yoshioka Ririko (based on a story by Satou Takako)

             Genre: School Shojo
             Length: One Volume - 3 Chapters

             The art style is unique but at the same time it often looks... strange. Body and clothes are good, a little pointy from time to time, even body movements were good. Still, the faces could get funky, especially in close ups, the eyes have excellent shape and expressions but mouths often looked like they were at a different angle than the rest of the face. The face itself was dumpy looking and when added to the fish mouth you get an odd combination. Like I said, it's the author's style but I simply could not get past it while reading. Backgrounds were more often there than not, this being a school love story, it was mostly class rooms but they looked well done, too. Strangely, the best thing art-wise was the wounds, they looked really realistic.

Art (c) Yoshioka Ririko Story (c) Satou Takako

            Yuka likes things sweet, and not just when it comes to foods, but friendships and loves, too. When her friend gets rejected by a boy when she confesses, Yuka vows to hate him like any friend would do. So Yuka thinks nothing of it when she gets close to the boy in question's classmate and things get so sweet just the way she likes them, until Yuka finds out the boy lied to her and he is not the classmate but the boy himself, the boy that her friend actually still likes despite rejection. Suddenly that sweet peace Yuka loves so much is shattered and she doesn't know how to fix it.
             This couple made me go 'awww' a few times, but it's more of the troubles than the good times in this story, the bitter chocolate it's named after is a clue to that actually. Character wise I don't really have any complaints. Yuka is so worried about everyone that she lets things get away from her, and that's something everyone can sympathize with. The art was distracting from time to time but the story was really enjoyable. It's just what you expect from a vanilla school story nothing more and nothing less.

             
3/5 If you can get past the art it's prolly closer to a four.






Slice of Black Chocolate by Mitsukazu Mihara

             Genre: Shojo
             Length: 8 Pages
 
             Gothic art with black lace and black feathers. The clothes are well detailed, the eyes are not but facial expressions are good. Body and hand motions are easy to see and absorb as well as being natural to look at.
              A silent (in manga form 'unworded') story about a man trying to impress a girl who clearly has no interest.
             A story with no word bubbles and such gothic art has no right to be this cute. Seriously, I read it through like three times in a row because its so good. And remember, its only eight pages long so if you don't like it, it'll waste very little of your time.



             5/5 Super recommended don't mind the length.

Wild Cats by Reiko Shimizu

Wild Cats by Reiko Shimizu


           Genre: Shojo? Kind of?
           Length: One Volume - 3 Chapters



       Art style is older shojo, the faces aren't particularly expressive and the clothes are plain; people are very varied, though. Backgrounds were half and half, and when they were there they looked good enough but they weren't special just mostly trees or walls. Now, the animals, which are a major part of this manga, look very well done in both realistic poses and cartoonish ones. All the cats look really good, the dogs are little less realistic but are still very cute. That goes for the action of the animals, too, its all very natural looking.
       When he was small Ryuuichi found a box of abandoned kittens in the rain and took them home to take care of them. The biggest he named Cesar, who, it turned out, was not just any kitty but a great and terrible lion. The two form a special bond and begin growing up together. Cesar has grown in their past six years together, grown and grown and grown, but she just can't seem to be fierce and graceful like a cat should be. Ryuuichi told her he always wanted a cat like a lion but somehow Cesar is a lion who doesn't want to act like a lion.
       I've read this manga before but I had no recollection of it and I think I know why, Wild Cats is completely unremarkable. Let me set this up: it is a pet's perspective manga with a lion. A LION. You'd think that'd make it memorable but it somehow misses the mark, its just 'blah' all over from art to story to character. Its redeeming factor is it's humor, you can't help but laugh at a huge lion acting like a spoiled house cat. Cesar herself, especially in the last chapter, is so very cute and lovely that you sympathize with her instead of the person actually afraid of the beast. Yet Ryuuichi is no where near as interesting as his pet, probably because he never thinks about that fact that he owns a lion and lets it roam around town freely. The best chapter is the last one, the middle chapter has very little to do with the lion at all and the first is just so predictable that its a chore to read. Maybe as a grown up I can't immerse into the story because I know the dangers of having a large cat as a pet, usually you or someone else gets maimed and the cat is put down, so this story about a boy who picks up a lion mixed in with regular kittens is cute and novel but its also disturbing. There are no consequences for this pet lion living in the middle of a town and no one even bats an eye that its happening. Again I shall repeat: it seemingly roams around town freely with out anyone caring! Even if you can get over that, the disjointed story is a put off, too, its really more of three one-shots about the same characters than a comprehensive book. If you like outrageous shojo stories it could be worth the read but barely so (this coming from a cat maniac!). If it was crazier I'd like it more but instead all you get is disappointment.

2.5/5 Cute but ridiculous and not in a good way

Crimson Hero by Takanashi Mitsuba

Crimson Hero by Takanashi Mitsuba



           Genre: Shojo Sports
           Length: 20 Volumes - 81 Chapters with a few extras and two one-shots



           Same mangaka as Akuma de Sourou (The Devil Does Exist) so I knew what the basic art style was going to be like, lots of spiky hair and punk styled clothes. Still, this manga is obviously written after Akuma de Sourou because the style had matured. The distracting blush lines were reduced and faces are significantly slimmer. Clothes are very well done, along with the hair, there is the spiky-spiky hair that I expected but it wasn't everywhere. Body motions and poses were good but there were a few body issues that bother the eye from time to time. Firstly, in the beginning there were many manly girls that I should have assumed were girls considering this manga is primarily about women's sports teams but kept thinking they were men because they looked like men due to their very wide shoulders. Perhaps its largely, because they are volleyball players, most of the cast is really tall and I'm sure that made proportions hard to nail. This man/women issue resolved itself eventually, the faces are what really confuse you and they become much easier to distinguish later on. What didn't help was the wide hips often given to men and women alike, making the full body shots look rather dumpy. This artist also has this way of drawing mouths that really has dynamic motion but that leads to gaping mouths on every panel, or if not gaping, showing more teeth than necessary. Most of the time you don't notice the mouths, until a very dramatic part gives you more mouth than anything else. Still, nothing devastating, the artist has much improved her art and integrated her style seamlessly into what can pass for a trendy type of art style. It feels more like Akuma de Sourou in the beginning but by the end it seems very grown up. All around, its good to look at.

Art and story (c) Takanashi Mitsuba

           Nobara is the first daughter in a family that runs an old-style Japanese inn and is assumed to take over for her mother when she grows up, but Nobara can't find anything girly in herself and she can't stand dressing up and being graceful. All Nobara wants for now isn't lessons and serving customers but playing volleyball! She even entered a high school with an excellent volleyball program so she can spend her school days on the court, despite her mother's refusal to acknowledge her dream. Yet, at the first day of school, Nobara can find no trace of the women's volleyball team anywhere and when she asks she is informed that such a weak team was disbanded the year before. That won't stop Nobara from having her rose colored volleyball school life, even when it causes her to run away from home, Nobara begins to assemble enough people to recreate the volleyball team at Crimson Field High and share her love of the game with those around her. To survive she may have to work as a house mother for the male scholarship students' dorm but she will do anything to play volleyball.
           Be aware, at twenty volumes you are in for a long haul of shojo. I'd say it's about 50/50 in terms of volleyball action and school drama, though the line does tend to blur at times, that puts it at a lot less sports action than a shonen sports manga. Personally, I liked that, this being the first girly sports manga I've read besides Girl Got Game and that manga is something completely different. The story itself is sports cliched, but when you want to read a sports manga you expect these things. There is a true humanness in this mangaka's characters, and in Crimson Hero you get more of the same, seeing people by their flaws makes for good love stories after all. Sure, there is some shoehorning on a few of the rival teams where you suddenly must care for the opponents (what kind of sports manga would it be with out that?) and there were a few I simply couldn’t care for, but that was only when it was whole chapters about characters I wasn't going to see again. There is a big cast list too, and after a while some of the backgrounders, when spoken of by name only, got mixed around in my head. Big cast lists do lend to re-readability and this manga is published in English so that is probably more of a positive than negative. My main problem with Akuma de Sourou had been the long waiting mixed with a sudden fix that did match the length it took to get there, but with Crimson Hero I didn't get that feeling as much. It helped that the tournaments and such kept the time line moving, but all the same, it isn't as painfully drawn out as Akuma while still having the heavy dramatic read. Sometimes its hard to read that type of romance but the sports sections help things along, too. Here and there there were some word bubbles composed in a confusing manner and I would read them out of order, it was annoying at the time but looking back it didn't much effect my reading enjoyment. The action isn't the best, its actually impressive at times, but several instances the volleyball matches are carried through with still shots and score boards changing numbers. Hmmm, I feel like this review sounds really negative overall but this is a really good manga that, though it feels twice as long because of DRAMA, is a joy to read.



          4.5/5 Really Recommended

My Hero! by Fuyu Kumaoka

My Hero! by Fuyu Kumaoka


           Genre: Shojo, school life
           Length: 2 Volumes - 8 Chapters


           Art wise, everything looks polished and good from start to finish. The eyes are a little plain but they show emotion well, and the mouths are drawn with shaky lines but its obviously the artist's style and it adds to the comedic effect anyway. Clothes are quite stylized in a saggy pants way, so they look really cute in chibi. Body movement is pretty amazing, even during the slapstick parts, I think they are well worth noting. Backgrounds, on the other hand, are simple and just there.

Art and story (c) Fuyu Kumaoka

           A classic love story that starts with boy asking girl out and girl saying no because she thinks boy is a total weirdo and creep. Jun notices a strange boy who comes into her class every lunch period to stare, its been a month and he doesn't say anything but its obvious he's staring at her. Its been so long Jun even remembers his name, Yutaro, though they've never spoken and when he suddenly confesses Jun can't bring herself to say anything but 'I'm sorry.' That doesn't stop Yutaro, though, he just tells her they should go on a date and that he'll be waiting for her at the amusement park no matter what. Jun doesn't want to go with the boy who just seems to get stranger and stranger the longer she notices him, but there is something about the whole situation that won't let her leave him alone.
           I laughed a lot reading this manga, Yutaro is so brazenly and haphazardly pursuing his crush that most attempts at being cool are thwarted by his own vigor, and Jun is so awkwardly falling for him that she ends up running away or screaming at him instead of explaining anything to his dimwitted self. Its a beautiful adolescent couple brewing here, just wonderfully not syncing up to the point where they are hardly ever on the same book, let alone the same page. The title is ironic here in the most drastic sense, no one is anybody's hero because no one can be in love and be cool, these two prove it impossible beyond doubt. I would like to complain that they do not become a couple soon enough but the ending is so good that it wiped all those complaints away. These two trying to understand each other is so well drawn and written its sad when its all over.

This pic wraps up this manga perfectly

           5/5 Super Recommended silly shojo.

Fushigi no Maria-kun and Majo to Yajuu

            Last Halloween Spectacular post! This time its a manga and a one shot about strange loves. I very much enjoyed my spooky reads, even though I read more shojo than gore, I hope everyone had as good of a holiday as I did. I'm pretty sure I won't find any Thanksgiving manga to read so I'll be back to reading whatever I feel like after this.

Fushigi no Maria-kun by Dai Shina

Genre: Shojo
Length: 2 Volumes - 9 Chapters (1 One-shot at the end of the first volume)

Art and story (c) Shina Dai

           The art, at first, was a little out of whack in proportions; heads were too big and the eyes took up more face than they should have. Some of that remained through out, like the big teeth that showed when someone smiled, but otherwise there's not much to complain about here once you get used to it. This manga has a unique look with the eyes and expressions, the eyes have a certain shading or tone that is used that give them good depth. The clothes are fairly non-descript or school uniforms, in fact I don't even remember anything beyond button up shirts on the boy and sailor suits on the girl. The hair has nice shape and form, the main character has a combination bowl and pixie cut not seen outside of manga and anime and the love interest has those cross bangs that meet at the bridge of the nose and some how criss-cross into an x on the forehead. Some background people can look strange once in a while, though. Body poses are good, I don't remember noting any strangeness. Lots of tone backgrounds, which are preferable to blank ones, of which, this manga did not have an abundance of.

           Toko has a childhood friend she has been looking after and protecting for ten years and whom she cherishes more than her own life. Toko is a normal human who goes to school and helps out with the neighborhood association when she can. Toko's friend is just the same, except he is not a normal human, in fact he is not human at all but a vampire. Maria-kun is actually one of the last pure-blooded vampires and has been declared by Japan as an endangered species. Toko feels responsible for Maria because she brought him into human society but can the feelings they have for one another develop beyond 'childhood friends' when Maria's situation causes no end of troubles?
           I got to tell you, this manga tells you what for right from the beginning. The first panel on the first page after the chapter title page reads "My childhood friend is a vampire" and then goes on to be very silly. Silly shojo manga is a genre I love to read so I was hooked when, on the second page, the vampire in question is passed out in a trash can. It was a little wordier than I expected at times but not excessively so. The action, as well, wasn't particularly amazing but it was followable. There isn't much depth to the drama, but it is cute enough to get away with it, besides the characters themselves are well though out personality wise. The end felt a little rushed and leaves one wishing they had just a little bit of seeing the two as a couple but it is satisfying. I felt like it had a new look on vampires and the typical vampire/human love story. If you are looking for a story that has lots of intrigue, keep going, but if you want a school-life romance with a vampire instead of the typical classmate stop here and you will not be disappointed. I'm not saying there's no vampire-related troubles for the two of them but there's also a lot of staple shojo drama, too. Maria-kun is also very shy so you get to squeal at the cuteness quite a bit. I think the best parts were when it poked fun at itself and its genre with just how normal the male lead is despite being an inhuman vampire, though his name is Maria and it is a little strange to hear a boy being called by that name. I think one more volume of this manga would have made it even better.
           The one-shot at the end of Volume one is even stranger to look at than the main part of the manga, it is obviously much older, but the story itself is okay. It's a bit choppy and the drama is a little 'so what'-ish but for a one-shot it isn't too bad.

4/5 Recommended vampire love fluff.

Majou to Yajuu by Ai Fujio

           Genre: Shojo

           Length: One Chapter - 38 Pages

art and story (c) Ai Fujio

           Art is typical shojo, not much to say for or against it. The clothes are nice, and the animals hit a good in between of cartoon-y and realistic. Backgrounds are half trees/half tones and not much else. There is nothing off putting in it

           A fearsome lion falls in love with a human girl and asks a witch to grant his wishes to make him more suitable to her. Can changing himself completely allow the lion to be happy and no longer lonely?          
          Like a little fairy tale to read at bed time, this manga has cute and sad moments. Feels much longer than it is, it feels like a full story instead of just a snippet. I really enjoyed it, and I think it'll stick with me for a long time to come despite it's generic people art.

           5/5 Super Recommended.

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo and Obake Life

Happy Halloween! I picked two "spooky" ghost stories just for tonight, a two volume manga and an extra one-shot. I had hoped to get more manga read for this season but tomorrow's post will be the final Halloween Spectacular for this year. Enjoy.



Shinrei Tantei Yakumo (Psychic Detective Yakumo) Story by Kaminaga Manabu and Art by Miyako Ritsu



           Genre: Shojo
           Length: 2 Volumes - 9 Chapters



           This art is a little generic but drawn really well. The eyes are bright and expressive and the characters are all individual looking. The hair is a bit plain but has good shape, the clothes are nicely drawn and the girl's clothes are cute and fun to look at, and the emotions play really well. Body proportions are on the very lean side, which I don't personally like but look proportional in this manga. The movements are well done, and action is easy to follow.

Story (c)Kaminaga Manabu and
 Art (c) Miyako Ritsu

            Haruka has a friend in the hospital after a supposed courage test ghost sighting and she is at the end of every avenue she can think of to help her friend get better. After hearing about a man on campus who has spiritual powers, she decides to give him a visit just in case. Yakumo, the man in question, who hangs out in something called the 'movie research club' room is gruff and rude to her from the start but she endures for the sake of her friend. Until he starts saying things he has no right to know and tells her he can see Haruka's dead sister following her around. Haruka runs away but she wonders if, in doing so, she has thrown away her friend's only means of getting better.
           Nearly had a panic attack when I looked this up because I thought what I had read was an incomplete file, but this manga is based off a set of light novels and has two different manga published under the same name, and the confusing part is they start out exactly the same except the art is different. One is longer than the other, though, and is currently on going. Still, Shinrei Tantei Yakumo (as far as the version I read anyway) is a good example of the 'unlikely duo' murder solvers in shojo form. Solving crimes with ghosts is a fairly old plot but Haruko and Yakumo have a really good partnership and the ghost are so human it has a lasting impact. This is a good manga of substance where different types of people are looked at but every one, this being a crime solving manga after all, admit to their murders in the end. I wanted to delve a bit deeper into Yakumo's past but you don't really get any of that so it can be a bit disappointing in that respect since you get to know a lot about Haruka right off the bat. Still, what you do get is solid and fun as well as spooky. Maybe the other version excels where this version fails, if the plots are as good as this one its probably worth a try.


4.5/5 Very Recommended


Obake Life by Takahashi Ichirou



            Genre: Shonen
            Length: One Chapter - 45 Pages

Art and Story (c) Takahashi Ichirou

           Very unique art on this one, yes sirree. Hair and eyes are done with bold strokes and look very defined and confident. Clothes, too, but the girls' clothes have a definite softness to them. It feels like a mix between One Piece and Soul Eater. When you look at it at first it seems odd, but then you realize the art and story go hand in weird hand.
           When a young girl who can see ghosts is cursed by a grudge manga, she finds herself in a panic, during which she meets another ghost who vows to protect her. Or at least he says he will, once she agrees to marry him.
           Uhhhmmm, where is the rest of this manga? Anyone? This deserves, at least, a whole one volume of wacky hijinks by itself. It did not go where I thought it would after reading the first few pages. The action was a little hard to follow, it being ghost action that can be forgiven, but the plot more than makes up for any other wrong doings. So original and the ghost boy is just bizarre in the best of ways. I want to read it again just so I get more of him. Slapstick and just a touch disturbing, it left me wanting. As far as one-shots go, this was really amazing.


5/5 Very Recommended one-shot.
