Jujutsu Kaisen 7/10

 If you were to mix Naruto, Bleach and Hunter x Hunter, you'd get Jujutsu Kaisen. A fun shōnen manga/anime that perfectly blends dark fantasy, intense action, and intricate character development. I enjoyed the show a lot, but it's not without flaws.

Yu Yu Hakusho 7/10

 Fun fact, "Yu Yu Hakusho" is one of the classic 90's anime I never watched as a kid, but then later found out about when I was in my 20's. I recently sat down and re-watched the whole series, so I could write a proper review for my blog.

Plastic Neesan 8/10

 "Plastic Neesan" is a short-form gag anime series that was released in 2011. It consists of 12 hilarious episodes, each lasting only a few minutes, so you can watch the whole show in like 30 minutes. It was adapted from the manga and stayed true to the fast-paced comedy that focuses on the daily lives of three high school girls: Iroe Genma, Makina Sakamaki, and Hazuki Okamoto, as well as their classmates.

Pellua Iyagi aka A Tale of Felluah 9/10

 This is my favorite manhwa (Korean manga) and dear to my heart. I fell in love with the art, the melancholic plot and gray characters were wonderful, too. "Pellua Iyagi" aka "A Tale of Felluah" is a romance story set in a fantasy world based on medieval type politics and society, not magic, or fighting. The arrogant Orthez has to marry the cold-hearted duke Arthur from another kingdom, both seem disinterested in each other at first, but learn to open up eventually.

One Piece 9/10

 If you haven't heard of One Piece, you really don't care about manga or anime. It's rather difficult to review a series, that's been around for over 20 years, and will probably still be around for another 10 years. I will say though, the hype is well deserved for One Piece, we got some of the best world building and power system in manga history. While I detest what the anime has become, the manga is still top-notch reading material. Plus, the live action adaption is promising as well!

Nukozuke! 7/10

 "Nukozuke!" is a unique and rather obscure manga written and illustrated by Oshikiri Rensuke. It's a short, episodic series that delves into the bizarre and super cute world of Yuuya and his two Nukos: Kei, a calico Nuko who acts mature despite often being mistaken for a female, and Sasame, a black Nuko, with a dark sense of humor. 

Noragami: Stray God 8/10

 Noragami is a popular series thanks to its unique plot and hilarious main character, Yato. Yato is a deity or god, who's trying his best to not be forgotten and help as many humans as possible with their problems. If you are familiar with Japanese folklore and the Shinto religion, you will find the world of Noragami very interesting, if not, you are about to learn a lot of new trivia!

Mahoutsukai no Yome aka The Ancient Magus' Bride 6/10

 This is the strange love story of Chise Hatori, a 15-year-old Japanese girl, who was sold for five million pounds at an auction to a tall masked creature named Elias Ainsworth, who is looking for a special kind of bride. Of course there is also plenty of action and world building going on in "Mahoutsukai no Yome" aka "The Ancient Magus' Bride", with dragons, alchemists, mages, elves, and a bunch of other magical characters we get to know little by little.

Kono Bijutsu-bu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! aka This Art Club Has a Problem! 5/10

"Kono Bijutsu-bu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!" aka "This Art Club Has a Problem!" is a comedy anime series based on the manga of the same name. I liked the manga better than the anime adaption, not sure why. Maybe because I binged the anime, and it was just the same jokes on repeat, which was too much for me. The plot is simple enough to sum up in one sentence; Usami is a member of an arts club, where no one is taking the club serious except her.

 

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san aka Teasing Master Takagi-san 6/10

 I enjoyed the manga on a monthly basis, but when they turned it into an anime, I enjoyed "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san" aka "Teasing Master Takagi-san" a lot less. I guess, knowing how the jokes will play out had an effect. The story is basically about middle schoolers Nishikata and Takagi, who is constantly teasing Nishikat until he blushes, who then wants to tease Takagi in return, but is never able to beat her at this game.
