Sun-ken Rock, Gekkoh, and My Balls

I thought id start off my recent change in my blog with some of my favorite mangas that I have read quite recently. The first is the.. Gang but comedic related Sun-Ken Rock, which focuses on this dude named.. What was his name again? Oh right, Ken.. Or something. Anyway, it basically starts off with him going to Korea to follow his love interest, a girl who goes from Japan to Korea (I think o.O.. Too many countries in our world to keep track off *sigh*), and then moves into a shoddy apartment. There, he gets into a fight with a gang leader, and then somehow becomes that gang leader. The summary is, so far hes taking out gangs left and right and getting turf. All in all, I give it a 9/10, for great art work, a unique twist on the Yakuza theme with a dash of comedy, and overall nice and graphic fights. It is currently clocked at around 45 chapters, and still ongoing. I see about another 30-40 chapters, though it could also head into the 100 chapter range if the mangaka so wishes to.For those who like hardcore fights to the almost death, and having a very reliable hero who seems to be stronger than anyone else.

Ah, next in line is "Gekkoh" a very good gem. It seems at first to be incestious, but later on you find out shes adopted. Now onto the story. A Yakuza heads son, forget his name.. oh well. Anyway, his "sister" suddenly pops up out of nowhere and moves in with him! And, guess what.... His father is on a trip! Oh, the old 'Move in with guy while parent(s) are away!" trick. Works every time. And so, turns out she is one deadly chick! She wields the sword "Gekkoh" like a true master, and can chop up bad guys with ease. The story is oriented around finding out what happened to her parents, finding the killer, and then blowing- No wait, I mean Slicing his brains out. All in all, its a very good story, and I give it  a 8/10 for the Romance that actually doesnt suck in an action manga, the very funny scenes with a LOT of ecchi-ness, and the action isnt too bad, but more relies on drama.  It is completed at 50 odd chapters, so shouldnt take too long to breeze through even if you are a casual reader~! Definitely worth your time.

Ah, a comedic gem (I sure say gem a lot eh?), with romance.. My Balls! Dont let the name fool you, it is superbly serious. In the first chapter, our dear protaganist, a lonely 20 something live alone chronic masturbator is seen heading up a shrine, when he encounters an old man who shoots a beam of light into his.. Guess what, balls! So now, the Demon Queen is stuck in his nutsack, and if he ejaculates within a month, Earth is doomeeeeed. So, the future of Earth rests in this guys balls.. Yippee us eh? To make matters worse (Or better, depending on if your a lolicon or not XD) a devil loli shows up, and says her mission is to make him ejaculate, and release the Demon Queen from her prison to destroy the world! I personally like her cynical self, and how shy she is. I give this manga a 9/10, not a 10/10 only because it wouldnt appeal to anyone without a perverted mind (Like mine ^^). For its Comedy (Which it relies heavily on), VERY graphic scenes, and the romance is a nice plus. There are around 40 chapters, 41-42, with some Omakes thrown in. Id definitely suggest this manga if you want some comedy with a dash of romance thrown in to relieve the stress of the day. Though I think it would be considered softcore or borderline hentai, its not something you want to pass up on!

Thats it for my reviews.. For now. I may add another post in an hour, or in a week, depending on how much manga I read. Ill definitely try to have reviews of at least 3-4 manga per post, to not clutter up and not allow you to read anything. Im not sure about anime just yet, since these past couple of months the only good anime ive seen is Yumekui Merry, and even that was a big letdown at the end. Oh well, until next time
