Day 41 – Weekly Reads (12th - 18th)

Presenting the mangas I have read this week and I am pleased to share all the things I have read this week. I am fifteen volumes in this week and it’s not bad considering I didn’t do much this week

Here are the fifteen mangas that entertained me in the week:

• Danganronpa 2 vol 2
• Deadman Wonderland vol 1+2
• Food Wars vol 7-10
• Genkaku Picasso vol 2+3
• Machimaho vol 2
• Paradise Kiss vol 3-5
• Sorcerers and Secretaries vol 2
• Tokyo Tarareba Girls vol 1

In Day 36 and 40, we have covered a few volumes, such as Deadman Wonderland, Genkaku Picasso, Machimaho and Tokyo Tarareba Girls and like previously stated, I will not reiterate these for those who already heard it and if you haven’t then I mentioned the days for you to read, since I am both lazy and don’t want to bother you all with the same thing over and over.

Let’s begin this long chapter of reviews slash comments about the mangas that has won me over the week. We shall start with Danganronpa 2 which was procured from Kinokuniya sometime ago since they sell it cheapest for me.

This continues with the trial to find out who killed off Togami and it seems like chef Hanamura is getting a little hot under the collar as he goes from the fridge into the frying pan. After that, we continue the life of the students but before long, another death occurs and due to a video game, that is holding some truths!

I really enjoyed this, even though, compared to the rest, it was a heavy read and now I cannot wait for the next volume, but I am really impatient as usual and since it ended on the usual cliff-hanger but had a really interesting bribe, I give it a 4 out of 5 bookmarks.

As it dawns on me, I have previously spoken about the four volumes of the Food Wars and feel like I shouldn’t go on about it again, so I shall share the feelings I got from it.

I really enjoyed reading these and I seriously need to finish this story arc and I want to see what happens in the semi-finals since it ended with Soma making a bet that could result in him never cooking again, despite knowing there is up to thirty volumes that we all know he wins. I am seriously excited about the story and I plan to finally be caught up to date by the end of the year or at least be right near the up to date line. I gave it a 4 out of 5 bookmarks.

Now we have the final part of the Paradise Kiss manga reads and it was such a great read. I am even more happy to finally own the complete series since I been wanting a physical copies but didn’t realise it had one till recently and I am so pleased to have them but let’s share the synopsis of the last five.

In the third volume, we follow Yukari as she steps out of school and into the catwalk and her life has never been the same since, she’s rapidly becoming a desirable model and can’t make a single move without parental consent. When she asks George for advice, he gives her grief and not answers, and she wonders if he is worth her time or devotion.
The fourth volume features the school fashion show and a last-minute fight to the finish as the drama escalates and Yukari passes out! A mysterious lady from George’s life shows up and supports him on the big day, Yukari is conflicted if they are friends or more than that and it eats at her trust for others, but she only knows one thing, that she wants everyone at Paradise Kiss to take the first prize at the show.
In the final volume, the show comes to an end, as well as what everyone wants to do as their future is looming closer as they are edging towards the end of their school lives. Yukari is still on between wanting to follow the college route or a modelling career, which also brings her relationship with George to the crossroads that will change their lives forever. Will this be the end of Paradise Kiss?

I really enjoyed the story but not as much as I enjoyed the ending. It was amazing and I really hope people give it a read since it does seem like different compared to other mangas and it tends to break the fourth wall a lot as well. I want to give this a 4.5 out of 5 bookmarks for this series.

Now onto the final volume that I have read and also, a final volume of the series. It was a second-hand procurement and have been mentioned previously in a post but now I will share my second final views on this since I hope to share a better review. 

The story is amazing, and I cannot emphasis that this is fairly a good read and I hope people read this series if they want more of a western feel and view manga with fantasy, romance and drama. It is also fairly short, and I give it a 4 out of 5 bookmarks.

I am really amused that I read this much this week and it makes me happy to read. I am unsure on what to say further since I am burnt myself out by gushing all about the mangas and I really want everyone to give these a read too. Now, this is Mizu signing out and like me, remember to read all the things!
