Lovely graphic, but how’s the story?

Hello people! I know this will be something I don’t talk much about, mostly because I don’t read as many mangas as I’d like to, but today is the day! Here are few titles I’ve started reading last year (and maybe a bit before that) and I’d like to write just a few words about each of them. Check it out and maybe you’ll be able to give me some recommendations on what I should pick up next?

Devils and Realist, Vol. 1 by Madoka Takadono, Utako Yukihiro

Goodreads | Amazon

Curious to the point, but in the end, I wasn’t impressed. I did like the style, but I had an issue with all but one bad “guys” looking way too girly. I don’t mind seeing this from time to time, it can be rather enjoyable, but if even the characters notice that it must be kind of weird.
To sum it up: fun, but I won’t be reading the whole series.

Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 1 by Sui Ishida, Joe Yamazaki

 Goodreads | Amazon

Now that’s an interesting story and characters. I really liked pretty much everything about this one and Vol 2 is also quite good. I need to borrow other parts from my friend. Or buy them myself as I’d like to know where will the story go. Maybe I’ll even watch the anime, I heard it’s also good.

Servamp, Vol. 1 by Strike Tanaka

Goodreads | Amazon

It was an interesting idea and the graphic is rather nice, but it simply annoyed me and I lost interest rather fast. I can’t say I’m interested in reading more of the series, but I’d love to have Kuro plushie or a real Kuro-kitten, just without the changing.

Laughing in a Cloudy Sky, Vol 1 by Karakara Kemuri

Goodreads | Amazon

And my favorite of the bunch, the only one that made me buy the whole series soon after reading Vol 1. It has interesting (and cute) characters, a curious storyline that was only partially revealed in the first part and I really want to read it all. This one I will recommend!

And now it’s time I pick up the one manga I got from NetGalley – Bizenghast. It’s a pretty long volume (over 500 pages), but it’s nothing comparing to same-sized book ;).

Maybe you can give me some manga recommendations?
Something cute and interesting, maybe with some action and supernatural?
Or just let me know what are your favorite titles!
