Manga PLUS – September 2024 One-Shots

The Deep Sea of Words

Mugisuke

Oh this was good. Sad but the proragonist moves forward. So nice that he has a caring coworker and thoughtful teacher. Plus Karo in the deep sea exploratory vessel was super cute.

Watch the Repair

Gottani

A very visual one-shot. I’m not that into bikes but if you were, I think you would be able to hear and feel the movement of all the parts in the panels 😊

The Dragon Knight High School Girl

Kakuchoshi / Ren Takaoka

The story was a bit telegraphed. More interesting to me was the localisation, it sure made me feel old haha, is that how kids talk nowadays?

Swipe Right and Die Tonight

Momiyo Yamashita

Ok this was pretty funny haha. Kinda reminded me of Romantic Killer a bit. I love that they got married in the end 🤣

Romance Novels and Extraterrestrials

Ayato Shii

This one was cute! But also quite realistic about highschoolers and dreams and social status. I think the main character was very relatable with his sensitivity and overthinking.

House of the Yamauba

Yakaichi

Well…that was weird 😅 The main character wasn’t that likeable although the conclusion *was* a little bit amusing?

Saga of the Demon Banisher

Sho Shiromoto

Seems like the set-up for a future serialisation. It was ok, in a one-shot there isn’t really enough time to build a believable and endearing relationship between the mc and heroine. 

The Upgraded Boyfriend

Reiji Agasa

Not really sure what to say about this… I guess I found it hard to enjoy because I couldn’t stop thinking about how the human brain makes sure to forget stuff while you are sleeping to prevent overload. So…is the main character going to end up with detrimental health effects later in life…?

Hydra

Iyu Kawabata

As I was reading this I kept thinking how this was another ‘human drama in the vein of Chainsaw Man’ but I actually quite liked the ending 😝

Cactus Sidekick

Yako Meakari

It’s Levi in a cowboy hat lol. The cacti trivia was a bit too in your face. But I give it points for the damsel in distress punching her abductor in the nuts LOL

Mick’s Weapon Shop

Toshimasa Kume

Aw I wanted to hear Mick’s weapon explanations 🤣

Career Counselling

Tobira Natsushima

It felt mostly predictable but kudos on the class rep twist, I felt like there was something up with her but wasn’t expecting that. Kinda corny ending but it was consistent with the vibe of the story so all good.

The Orphan’s Long Night

Fibi Dori

Very impressed by this one. Had a slight feeling of horror and the juxtaposition of the hiruko’s evolution against the main mystery was well done. The plot was cohesive and smart. The only negative was, the girl’s jokes really were weird and tone deaf 😅

Roar

Kotatsu Oki

Bit of a weird premise imo. Art was a bit simple too. But the author is being hyped up so maybe I’ll like their subsequent works more.
