Default Manga/Comics/Novels reviews.

Basically similar to the TV Show/Anime Review thread but to do with the reading mediums instead.

10 - Masterpiece
9 - Great
8 - Very Good
7 - Good
6 - Fine
5 - Average
4 - Bad
3 - Very Bad
2 - Terrible
1 - Appalling

My library of things that I've read is actually quite small, so my list won't be very big.

Anyway here it goes.

In order:

Novel:
1. The Official Birmingham City Annual 2023 - 8/10 - KRO!

Manga:
1. Berserk - 10/10
2. Claymore - 9/10
3. Doron Dororon - 7/10
4. Holyland - 5/10 - I'm sure that it's fine for what it is, I personally couldn't finish it though. Something felt missing.

Comic Book:
Will update this list at a later date.

Light Novel:
Haven't read one yet.

Manhua:
Haven't read one yet.

Manhwa:
1. Sadistic Beauty - 4/10

Again I'm gonna divide the reading mediums apart for fairness sake.

Novel category
Manga category
Comic Book category
Light Novel category
Manhua category
Manhwa category



I'm gonna run and hide now.

On-Hold:
Salem's Lot
The Stormlight Archive: The Way Of Kings
Chaos Seeds: The Land: Founding
Vagabond
Black Torch
Shaman King
The Rats
Uzumaki
Biomega
Ibitsu
Batman Hush
Batman: The Killing Joke
Spider-Man: Birth Of Venom
Batman: Year One

Honestly guys out of all of the series that I've read, people need to give Berserk a shot.

I've just read the 41st Volume and it's honestly superb, even after that many volumes Kentaro Miura was still able to write a really interesting story before his unfortunate passing.

I honestly don't think that there is anything in fiction better than the Berserk Manga, I'm not trying to sound like one of those Berserk fans that slags off other works of fiction in order to build Berserk up, and I love many Video Games, Animes & other forms of entertainment out there, but imo the Berserk Manga can't be beaten.

It has everything a consumer is looking for, great character writing, brutal violence, a brilliant Dark Fantasy world, and even a half decent Romance (which is a massive compliment coming from me) and look I know that technically that this can be seen as spam, but I'm doing a first that I haven't done on my 13 years of being on TIBB.

Please read Berserk! If you're even half open minded to it's style then you will love it, I rarely praise a series like I am praising Berserk, but imo it is an 11 out of 10 experience, and tbh even that score feels too low.

To do with Claymore.

I'm really enjoying it, but
Spoiler:

I'm sad that they killed Miria off, she was a really good character imo. I suspect that Clare's "death" is a fakeout because the series is essentially about her journey.
