This manga is, first and foremost, something that doesn't know what it wants to be. Will it be hentai levels of porn, or will it be engaging plot and interesting development? It tries to do both, and comes off as jarring, and, at the end of the day, self-contradictory.

Let's start off with the story, as it's something that I think is this manga's strongest point. It has a plot that makes me want to read more. The mystery it generates is top-tier, and the twists come hitting hard and hitting fast. Looking past the exterior of misogynistic porno, and you get yourself a genuinely interesting, and fascinating plot. Who is the doll? The answer will leave you with more questions than answers. Where is this Isekai world? The answer leaves you with more questions than answers. Why does our MC jump between the two worlds? It hasn't been answered yet, but I'm dying to know. This story is undoubtedly its strongest point, and it's what will keep readers coming back for more. Spoiler territory ahead. The mature themes of this manga are evident as soon as the manga gets past its opening stages. The first time he dies, we get a pretty shocking image of him, badly wounded, in a hospital bed. This wakes the reader up: this is no generic harem hentai isekai. This is comedy the same way Angel Beats is a comedy. It tries to be funny and ends up putting you into a depression. The fact that he travels by getting thrown out a window by the person he "loves". The fact that his classmate is most likely deceased. The fact that the Earth has basically been destroyed. The fact that the "God of Jealousy" is probably some kind of AI Intelligence or Bioweapon (or both) rather than just a plain old god (although that would be feasible too). Either way, this is definitely keeping me hooked.

Art does its job. Everything is clear, there are no questionable decisions, it's just straight-up good art. Gotta say the ruins look fucking awesome though. For those who know what type of ruins I'm talking about, yeah the toppled buildings really lend a sense of scale.

Characters. Oh boy, where do I start? You have our MC, who is your general goody-two-shoes with a bit of rapist mixed in there (he's power tripping like hell). He's rather interesting, but he doesn't come off as a character, but rather comes off more as generic protagonist until the sex scenes hit, then he's just there to satisfy the dom fetish, which leads to this clash in personality. Then, the girls. Oh my lord, what have they done to you? Your favorites are back! The Yandere, Tsundere, Kuudere, etc. now with 10X more fanservice! Let's be real, females in anime are always portrayed in a problematic light, and this just cranks it up to 11. You're not here to talk about social justice, I'm not here to talk about social justice. I didn't read this manga to care about social justice, I read it cause it looked like trashy hentai goddamnit! Beyond the portrayal of that specific gender which some may take offense to, the characters are rather dull. It feels like the authors took a dartboard of single character traits and just tossed darts with names on them. This one says "Galia", oh, and it landed on Batshit Insane Cannibal ok... Moving on, Vanille? "Has an attitude". Alright, Lumi? "Tsundere". Perfect. Instant characters. They do the job, they aren't unlikable by any means, but they're about as flat as a washboard (insert boob joke here).

Well, that's it for this review. I definitely enjoyed it, although the excessive amount of S E X certainly did take away from the stronger parts of the manga. The truth is that this won't be for everyone. It will probably offend a good deal of people if they read it. However, it's also clear that at the end of the day, it's got a killer plot, and I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

So, this manga was enjoyable for a short while, I thought it had potential and might be good for some laughs, but nope. I first read 15 chapters because at the time that was all that was out, the story seemed interesting at first: Dude finds himself in a new world, finds out a god cursed everyone and his only options of saving them is to either plow them all or kill that god.

Story: What I said just about sums it up thus far, the sex scenes were if i remember correctly far less forced in during the first 15 chapters, but after putting the series on hold for a good while and reading up to chapter 23 everything the story had going for it that I found interesting has been tossed out just about because the past several chapters focused *heavily* on sex scenes that didn't really further the plot in any way and only occasionally did stuff that furthered the plot. I feel this should be the other way around, this is essentially hentai currently because there is pretty much no plot to be had and constant sex scenes for the sake of having them.

Art: The art is the best part of this, it isn't awful. It is in my opinion slightly above average, so I gave it a 7. It's not particularly beautiful or anything, but it is high enough quality that I don't have to worry about eye injuries.

Characters: I gave the characters a 5 to be nice, if I were a professional critic they would probably be rated much lower closer to a 3 or a 2 to be honest. There is hardly any personality to the characters, the character with the most personality is the main character Youta and his can be summed up with "Shounen protag".

Enjoyment: It was enjoyable for a while, but now not so much. I am going to continue to read it for now in the hopes that it begins to focus on the plot more, but chapter 23 ends in a way that makes me think ch 24 is gonna be another sex filled chapter and maybe at the end some plot development. So, I gave this a 6 because while I am disappointed with it at the moment I did have some fun before and I am hoping it will focus on the story more once the mangaka (to put it politely) cools his jets.

Overall: I gave this series a 6 because as I said I did get some enjoyment out of it and the premise seems like it could've been better if he took another route with it, perhaps rather than specify they need to be plowed to be saved from the curse, it just skips to him trying to help them kill that god. But, the mangaka clearly wanted to make something with a lot of sex in it, so naturally he went the route that he did. I have hopes that the mangaka of Elfen Lied can redeem this series to some degree, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it at this point.

From the author of Elfen Lied and various other manga, Parallel Paradise is a story about the delicate subject of gender differences, sexuality and society as a whole. All of these topics are handled in a delicate yet hard-hitting way that really glorify the best parts of female empowerment and feminism.

The story portrays an utopia run entirely by strong independent young women. They live in a world where there haven't been male humans in over 3000 years until a day when an unlikely male hero is transported there from our world. Now I know what you might be thinking: "This is an Isekai manga? Must be crap then." This is a bias I advise you toss aside for now, since unlike most isekai this isn't a typical story about a character going through an average RPG storyline of gaining some mystical power, acquiring his own harem and going on a quest to defeat some for of evil deity. While this story might feature those elements at some parts, this is a much sophisticated story that really breaks new ground in the possible potentials of isekai manga. The male protagonist in this story is merely a driving force to show you a magnificent land ruled by capable female societies. In no way does this character end up becoming a mary sue who manages all the issues of the world by himself. On his quest the MC bonds with many female warriors with whose help he manages to overcome many hurdles. The gender differences do come into play a bit but in no way does it focus on either male or female superiority in this story. The author is clearly a feminist at heart and has a lot of knowledge on this subject.

There is a lot of great things in this manga which I do not wish to give away with this review. I urge you to read this manga if you are interested in gender equality and female empowerment. An absolute masterpiece.
