Tianjiang Xianshu Nan, or Tian Jiang Xian Shu Nan, is one of my favorite manhua/s. I frequently re-read it to this day.

The art is very good, even with the watermarks (it eventually gets better). It's very vibrant and colorful, with plenty of pretty visuals.

The characters are likable, and effectively comedic.

The story is engaging, with many story arcs and long chapters. It is one of the few stories I know that breaks-down gender roles and stereotypes. Believe it or not, the protagonist doesn't end up with the tsundere bad boy!

Overall, it's a good read, and one I thoroughly recommend.

If you like Mizutama Honey Boy or Otomen, you will probably like this for the breaking-down of gender roles alone. In terms of art, it has a similar style to many of the translation team's other manhua projects.

This is a unique manga. Dubiously underrated.

The protagonist is a guy called Totono.(weird name)
He is smart, calculative and not at all shy to voice his thoughts.
Every chapter has a murder mystery and yet the feel of the manga is very light, enjoyable. Can even say it’s funny. Even philosophical at times.

Story: 9
I love episodic manga, with a little world building. And this perfectly fits the bill.
We see whodunit murder mysteries, and very logical explanations and deductions.

Art: 8
This manga has big focus on dialog rather than the art. Yet, the art is really good. Clean, beautiful.

Character: 8
Characters come and go, their personalities are shown in depth. Various layers are seen. We don’t know much about the main guy though. He’s a smart guy, won’t say he’s charming though.

Enjoyment: 9
Exhilarating. Read all the available chapters in one go. Start reading and I bet you won’t be able to stop. Reads like a Agatha Christie novel.


So overall I’d say this manga is a must for people who like : murder mystery, detective, psychological, seinen, and episodic manga.

Don’t read if you want fights or romance.




And if you find any manga like this please tell me, I would love to read that.

Thank you for reading my review!!

Bro I been watching anime for awhile now i always been bored of animes where the mc becomes a hero saves the world and has a harem this was amazing change. the day i read this manga i felt this si the one something good

the day i realized that im a Sadist

Idk its just me i always been more fond of the villain than the hero in any anime

Villains are just idk they just feel right

Story 10/10 for me

ART Manga Art is pretty good gonna give it 9.5 Out of 10

and my enjoyment of the manga and anime adaptation 10/10 Love i wish there were more anime where the mc just does as he pleases using people as tools or pawns to reach his goals

Story: 5

The thing about the story is pretty much how the author's feeling during the time he drew and wrote the scenarios (In my opinion, I could be wrong). It doesn't follow a line which a normal story has. I consider it to be a borderline-hentai, slice of life manga. The story never seems to be progressing ( MC with the girls ). Considering these fact I'd give it a 5 for it's effort of keeping the *story* on track.

Art: 7

The only thing I give a better rating is the art. Even though not realistic ( big oppais and all ), was enjoyable to read through. At some time repetitive but w/e who reads it for the story, only the art.

Character: 5

Like the story, the characters never seem to mature, always doing the same thing over and over (ecchi stuff) without changing really their thoughts. MC and his harem always think dirty and do "stuff" when left alone, like always. I think characters that are being added throughout the story are unnecessary fact that all character are proportionated same but "think" different.

Enjoyment: 5

The only thing that could be enjoyed for me was the art, really. If there's more chapters I wouldn't read more because of it's climax predictability in the chapter.

Overall: 5

To conclude, I can't recommend this manga. Due to the fact it's story lacks real continuity and difference chapter from chapter. Even considering the author's effort to change the setting each time there's no real difference chapter-wise. Even though the art is enjoyable not seeing the "whole thing" can be boring when reading through. This manga focuses more on oppais than anything, not the full meal. If I were you I'd consider reading a hentai doujin at this point, not this manga. Anyways if you're an oppai guy or softcore guy you could enjoy reading this manga but for me it lacks a lot in story and character development so I'm not continuing reading after this chapter [32].

It's weird to say that, but Coin Laundry Lady was the first manga I read in my life. And I, back in 2019, starting to read manga with a lay mind, managed to say right away that this manga is bad.

The story has a very specific Asian comedy mood with especific elements and it was not good, the mixture with terror is an interesting idea but its execution is trivial and ends up spoiling both items. The first chapters introduced things in an interesting way, but soon afterwards the proposal is contradictory in completely changing the focus of the story.

Art is something memorable and remarkable, both for being good at the beginning of the manga, and for its drop in quality after a few chapters, it lost many cool details and still lost its best quality.

The characters are one-dimensional and without anything noticeable, Maoko, the protagonist who lives in the washing machine, can be a nice character sometimes, but otherwise, they are all very bland and with superficial relationships. Who knows what characters really have to do with the plot, because some are presented but minimally used.

This manga is not good, it is simply not good, the enjoyment with it gets to be sad, considering it doesn't even entertain.

Mod Note: This review was initially posted for the one-shot, Kiss de Mezame Sasete., and was subsequently merged into Dame Ijiwaru H.

For mature shoujo readers, this story isn't worth the minute it'll take you to find it online to read, so you're better off not bothering. The artwork is beautiful, but nothing exceptional, and the story is so trite, you'll wonder how it’s taken so long to finish. I'm not complaining about the premise. It could have definitely been something great, only the execution and abruptness of the plot and scenes pulls the potential down.

So Rin's father owes the Sagiri family a LOT of money, and as collateral, Rin is taken "hostage" by Kaoru, not hostage really, but she's staying in their house for the remainder of the repayment period, and Kaoru has made his intentions of what to do with her after the week is over VERY clear! So ok, you expect a bit of forced kiss here and an indignant shove there, but surprisingly you find neither. Instead you find a rational heroine who doesn't give into the attractive Kaoru but stands up for him when the occasion calls for it. Also, Kaoru isn't riding the hedonistic wave that he should be, considering his clichéd role in the story, but he has a gentle manner and does thoughtful things which endear him every once in a while to the reader.

If you were to read a harlequin romance of 180 pages in 3 pages, this is how the plot would turn out. The story just wasn't able to develop two solid characters enough to lend them credibility. To the mangaka's credit, she tried to weasel in lots of developments and conflict oriented scenes in the one shot, but the dialogue was unmoving and the expressions remained a bit staid and static. Overall, there are a few well drawn tender scenes as well as some you'd expect to culminate differently than they do, so you applause the mangaka for steering clear of predictability.

If you absolutely must read another underdeveloped shoujo, then you may like this one for the moral uprightness of both the characters as well as the artwork, but you won't end up enjoying the sporadic pace too much. You want to be able to sympathize with the characters, but you don't get enough time to. Ultimately, this is a somewhat forgettable read albeit one with subtle differences which sets it apart from the dime a dozen shoujo romances with the heroine finding love after being forced into close proximity with her prince in wolf's clothing.

Well, I really didn't have the intention of reading this. Just happened that I was passing by a local comic store and they were selling the three volumes with discount so I said: "Why not?"

I was very surprised when I realized this work was done by the same author of Ikkitousen, which brings me to first important point about this manga, the art is beautiful. As you can expect from a man used to drawing the bodies of beautiful ladies, Godeath is no exception. If you only want to look at beautiful art, this is the manga for you.

About the characters, pretty much 90% of the cast are women. The good thing is that they all have different personalities. There's the shy one that enters into beast mode while fighting, the cute aggressive loli that changes her personality as the story progresses, and of course, there's the hot tomboy. All of them give the story a little bit more of appeal.

Now, talking about the plot itself, there's not really much to tell. It's a battle between Masons and the Vatican. The MC gets involved in the war because of personal reasons and she gathers friends during her journey, while fighting against a main antagonist. The problem with Godeath is that you feel everything happens way too fast and obviously, that won't let you have some proper character development. Maybe if the story had at least three more volumes, it could've been better.

My conclusion: Read it for the art, don't read it for the plot.

A story about unblissful revenge. A sea of hatred with some islands of love, but those islands are in the middle of nowhere: this is what this manga is. It's also about kids being severely bullied, or in messed up families, or with broken dreams. The manga is a sad story where if someone does an inhuman and horrible thing, the victim doesn't rise above the hatred, but succumbs into it. It's an endless cycle of hatred in an unrealistic world where people are their worst thoughts. Imagine the worst thoughts one can have, and actually incorporate them into the actions of an individual, and you get what some of these characters did. Their actions are horrible and only making them become more miserable. It is a Hinamizawa small town of bullying and victims that eventually become bullies. There's no ray of hope for anyone, everyone joins the vicious cycle and gives in to the fear and anger provoked by their traumas that come from bullying or domestic abuse.

The only redeeming quality is the fact that "Misu Misou" actually succeeds in transmitting the feelings of being a victim and of becoming a perpetrator. It's too bad that it lacks the realism element due to the insane actions that are happening. The incredibly cruel and numerous deeds that are happening in such short spans of time would exist only in the imagination. And realism is necessary here since everything is about the real problems of bullying and domestic abuse. The art style very beautifully grounds the dark nature of this manga, characters may have some creepy body proportions and sillhouetes, which again reflects the creepiness of the world, a good thing overall.

This manga is very mediocre in it's story and character development. While some things are explained, they are done so in a poor manner (such as in the mother's reason for her actions towards her daughter).

The romance is a case of "instant" love with almost little to no development between the engaged parties. The love rival part of the story is also horribly short and could have easily been left out of the story without really changing much of anything, it just added that the drama that was missing from earlier on in the manga.

I was quite skeptical when I picked this up, as the plot seemed very well suited for kids. I still think it is, but I still very much enjoyed it. A story involving magic isn't new, but the way the spell had to be undone is cute and romantic. And I was surprised how much I liked the romance, because love as depicted in oneshots is incredibly rushed and makes no sense. But with Sora having already been in love with a girl and then showcasing their daily relationship little by little, the mangaka did a superb job of letting things progress at a smooth pace, possibly done easily in 50 pages. The art also has this carefree look to it which reminds me of a simple breeze, adorable and yet not too sweet. If you don't mind it being a oneshot, I'd recommend this to anyone who'd like light love: 8/10.
