The AnimaTure

I love how there has not been a single lie in this one-shot even when the goddess of poverty shows up.

It is like Pinocchio telling the truth that his nose will grow if he lies, but it will not because he is telling the truth while others think it is a lie.

The same goes with the girl who is the goddess of poverty that speaks the truth, but no one believes her.

She shows up in front of a store worker who was talking to himself about helping himself to some of the expired lunch boxes.

She was all covered in dirt, scratches and her clothes are torn. The guy thought it was part of her act to look like a homeless person.

She then explained that she was the goddess of poverty and he wanted to see proof.

She gave him a smooch on the lips and told him to check his savings.

They were gone with the wind and he had a year long dept with the goddess of poverty.

As they lived together he had to get more jobs, but he didn't mind as he was wondering if this would be the same as living with a normal girl.

The goddess however, tries to lure him into acts of indecency so that his debt will grow.
The guy did not fall for her tricks and kept on living his life with her.

As they start getting along, time passes and quickly a year has gone by.

She is taking him to the shrine that is build for her as she is the goddess of poverty.
He had to kiss her in order to end the debt, but he refused.

He wanted to stay with her which was to her surprise as he could not say anything good about her (as the goddess of poverty), nor could he say anything good about her personality.

 I gave Kamisama wa do Binbou a 3.5 out of 5 on Anime-Planet
 

I love this one.

The guy is somehow representing how i am and i can totally understand why he is having trouble with showing emotions.

I was always the quiet one in class and never showed any interest despite having the interest to do things.
I have the perfect poker face just as Nakamura when it comes to showing affection and i do it by buying things.

The girl, Fujisaki Kasumi, is also very cute and kind of a dreamer which is funny and cute at the same time.

The way the characters are drawn is rather the same as many romance one-shots that are in the Shōjo genre.


Art : Good.
Story : I love it.

Page count : I wouldn't mind more, but then again i could just watch or read Kimi ni Todoke.
The only difference is that the roles are reversed.

I gave Suki dake ja Wakaranai a well deserved 3.5 out of 5 on Anime-Planet.

I can see a full 24 episode run being made with this one as it can go to heavy battles with dramatic scenes and then ending up with romantic human X things love.

I do think i have read something like that before where a robot gets turned into a human despite the ending looking bad.... might be my imagination.


Here we follow a boy named Eiji who lives with his dad.
The most common setting is that the father is useless except on high technological matters and that the son takes over the household chores and such.

And these stories always start with the boy narrating a sentence or story with these three words included 'my mother died'.

Tattoo princes is a great example for this setting where the protagonist hates woman because the mother 'left' and the father is a hopeless pervert who wants to record his sons private actions with a girl that is clinging onto him.


A Tsundere type robot is quite funny to see or rather read.
Not admitting to anything and doing whatever she wants her own way but yet declining that she did it her way if you ask her if she did it her way (WOW).

As you start reading this one you get pulled in to the story and the ending just leaves the unfinished feeling and the interest of wanting to see more.



Art : Pretty good

Story : Easy to follow and you can have a good laugh with this one.

Page-count : As mentioned i want to see more.

I give heavy mecha blues a well deserved 3.5 out of 5.

~The Anima-Ture~

Jasmine is one of those one-shots you can read without stopping even once.

It is just so fascinating and interesting where the story is developing to.

Will be a sad ending will it be a happy ending, you never know with one-shots like this.

Jasmine, a girl who does not go to school but studies at home and has no friends besides Xiau.

He is her first and only friend and he admires her for being smart even when she does not go to school.

You could say he loves her based on his reactions towards her father that limits her abilities and freedom.

After what happened he decided to 'grow up' and stop believing in her stories and being able to fly with a broomstick.

Shortly after she has moved places he was wondering about a couple things.

What we as readers could believe is that she truly has magic since she is able to grow a plant that is going to be a tree, out of a marble.

She always thought of others but none except Xiau thought about her.

She was free but she was imprisoned at the same time and i can't really explain this myself.

You really got to give this one-shot a go as it is not only beautifully drawn and colored, but also touching.

Art : Splendid!

Story : Touching and good.

Page-count : Perfect.

I gave Jasmine a well deserved 4 out of 5 on Anime Planet

~The Anima-Ture~


A girl, named Sa-Sook and her whole profile on page 1, can fly without putting any effort in it.
She just started flying and she has no need to move her legs.
She just has to stretch his arms and she is floating but what bothers me is that if she is just floating wouldn't she be unable to control where she is flying to?
She has another ability besides flying and that is being able to talk to all sort of things and she found a birds nest with hatchlings.
She tried to touch them but the mother pecked at her hand and she warned her.

The next thing she talks to is a tree that is lonely.
The tree is sad because it's only friend is hibernating because it is winter and leaves him with none to talk to.
There is this weird thing that there is a sudden breeze making the girl 'float' against the tree and she thought of the tree's embrace as 'warm'.

She floats around again and a balloon is going past her and she hears a little kid telling her mom that the balloon is flying away.
The mother said to buy a new one but Sa-Sook brought the balloon back to the little girl which the little girl couldn't believe.
She wanted to tell her mother there was a person flying in the air and even the mother wondered how she got her balloon back but she did not believe the girl as children have a bright imagination.

Suddenly the girl 'wakes' up and we see her in the hospital in a wheelchair watching outside.
She probably has a weak body and is wishing to be able to fly like a bird does in the sky.

Art : Decent, it has a weird style but the backgrounds are just well done.
Story : Decent and touching.
Page-count : Could've been good with a couple more pages about why she is in the hospital so we get a better view why she wants to be able to fly.


I gave 100 Days Dream a 2.5 out of 5 on Anime Planet

~The Anima-Ture~ 

What is left to say then that this one-shot is just plain bad?

Vlad Tepes, a dreadful vampire born in Transylvania and he wakes up after 300 years by saying he 'accidently slept 300 years'.
There was a little girl next to him waiting for him to wake up so he could make her his apprentice.
Vlad does say he never made anyone his apprentice before and that it would be hard to teach her how to be a bad guy.

He sees people outside of his tower and tells the girl to fetch a person for him to feast upon.
He was just using the girl but she came back with a male and Vlad approved to drink his blood.
My problem is that this Vlad is so stupid to think anyone would just let their neck to be bitten and their blood sucked until they die.

To the surprise that Vlad got turned into dust and that no other vampire hunter has tried to kill him when he was sleeping for 300 years is still a question to me.

The story is plain boring and lame because it makes no sense at all.

~The Anima-Ture~

A 4koma story that has two pages with a couple of girls that talk about certain things.

First story is about Ami who is always unlucky it seems.
At the last story she seems to be a inattentive person who hers herself a lot on things people don't hurt themselves with if they paid attention.

The second story is rather disturbing yet smart.
The girls are talking about which part of their body they would like to fall to their death.
With the smart reply of the weirdest one of them all is that she'd like to fall on her face as none would recognize her.
With the reply in the back of the class another girl that did not take part in the conversation 'Whatever you say, i don't want to fall first.'.

The third story is about hearth shaped hearts.
They envy hearts because they are lovely and one of the girls that is a lover of occult things like blood, death and pain and such, gives one of the girls a real heart token.
You could guess the reactions of the other girls who love cute stuff and no it is not 'kya'.

The fourth story is as said above, about Ami being unlucky and she feels cursed.
She is the type of people that say the same sentence every time something happens.



It might have been short but it kept me interested in reading it all trying to get the meaning of the stories but they're to find.
Meaning there are no deeper thoughts than what you could already read and see.


Story : Actually have to put stories but oh well, it was good for a 4koma.
Art : simple
Page-count : i want more and i want to find a one-shot or complete Manga with all these characters.


I gave Ai-chan a 2 out of 5 on Anime planet

It is not really worth the reading but if given time and hopefully the mangaka behind this, would create more stories that are appealing to read.

~The Anima-Ture~


I am not sure what to say about this one-shot.

I kind of dislike it and the humor that is attempted to be 'funny' is just plain idiotic and immature.

The story is just about 3 girls sitting under table with a blanket called kotatsu and they ran out of books to read.
One of the girls called Marimo is the librarian but because it is cold she refuses to get them more books.
She is a bit sensitive to the cold and she thinks she'll die if she goes out beneath the kotatsu.

Marimo seems like she is a very dull person and she even removed her panties and skirt so that she might get it warmer and Mikoto told her to put them back on.
Marimo, trying to get away with just being a 'book stamper' is forgetting that that is part of a librarians duty and that she still has to organize books and then the subject changed to 'can i barrow your panties?'.
She is perverted because she loves the thought that she would be getting a indirect kiss with private parts.

By the strange reaction that Mikoto is giving us that she hates perverts she touches Marimo's legs who are indeed cold and she then slipped on Marimo's private part and was still rubbing it wondering why it was so 'wet'.

Marimo recalled why she removed her panties and told Mikoto it was her 'bloody day' or for some of you that don't understand it, the menstruation.
Marimo asking Mikoto if she was mad which Mikoto understood because she is a girl too.

Marimo was about to leave the kotatsu to go to the bathroom but Mikoto stopped her to prevent the blood spilling to be seen.

This is part one of the one-shot as the one-shot is divided in two stories.

Part two is about Marimo that needs to go to the bathroom but doesn't want to because of the cold.
She asks Mikoto to go with her and with cuteness factor this artist fails.

Mikoto's heart was bouncing as she was flustered that Marimo asked her that.
Marimo then touches Mikoto everywhere saying she is warm and another failed attempt to make it appealing, Mikoto's expression and saying it feels good that Marimo is touching her.

A breeze came inside and yes you read it alright, a breeze, INSIDE.
Marimo crouched back under the kotatsu and said she didn't had to go anymore but Mikoto didn't buy it and decided to poke her 'private parts'.

She was about to wet herself and asked Mikoto to go to the bathroom again and both stood up and ready to go but Marimo handed a rubbing judgment to Mikoto in the library lifting her skirt and using her hand.

I don't quite get this one as there is no story, no decent planning or anything to get this one-shot sold.
The main cover might do the trick but that is it, the inside is crap and worthless.



Story : Very bad
Page-count : TOO LONG
Art : Decent

I gave this one a 1.5 out of 5 on Anime planet


I would not buy or read this one-shot if i were you.
It is just a waste of time.

~The Anima-Ture~

A simple story that turns into a dark story. I think anyone would do the same thing as the main protagonist if we were in his place. Everyone was using him and to his mistake, he gave his life for granted to abuse.
We get to see him thinking with a pain in his heart as he hates being called 'inept'. A person who is a good for nothing human being. He came across this special shop which gave gave him chills down his spine as he entered it. It was the ability shop and he didn't believe it until he bought his first ability at a precious price, part of his lifespan.

Fascinated by his first purchase he wanted more. He wanted to be acknowledged by everyone, even by those he holds dear.
 His jealousy and thoughts of being 'inept' made him go insane and he pushed his own limits. Not only did he lose his best friend whom he was in love with, he lost his sanity, his abilities and his life.
He was glad for what he did after he realized that he lost his best friend and wished for everything to be alright again.

The shopkeeper, by his surprise, told him about 'personal insolvency' but what that is about is for you to find out.

Art style : Decent
Story : Catchy and understandable
Page-count : I want more like this one!
 I gave Ability Shop a 3.5 out of 5 on Anime-Planet  

*additional information*

Some versions have differend translators and in this one there is one thing that is wrong. The note from the group 'Imangascans - Vongola_cross' about she having a lisp just because 'she's kinda neko so this will show up a lot'. 'ne' is not something a cat-like character would say, instead of 'ne' they say nya. Second, she has a catcap on which is not giving away that she is a catgirl. Also when we see the shopkeeper the first time there should be 'Oh?' instead of 'Are.' . Details...

~The Anima-Ture~
This is without a doubt, a very touching story.
I felt like crying when i got by the ending.
I felt hate when reading and disappointment halfway reading it.
I just can't explain the beauty of this story!

It is on the other hand, a story we all know but in many different variations.

A rich family who is indebted by a richer family or a family that holds diplomatic stances and rules to have their children marry to keep the bloodlines.
There are thousands of variations but i liked this one for a fully 100%!


Art : beautiful
Story : One of the most romantic stories I've read so far.
Page-count : couldn't be better.


*additional notes*
I really recommend everyone to read this one.
If you don't understand this one-shot then i suggest you learn more about humanity, love and romance.

Although this is a romantic one-shot, the romance part is hidden but yet noticeable.

~The Anima-Ture~

You got those moments when reading a Manga or watching an episode where the infamous 'dots' of 'what?' or 'what the hell?' appear.
In this one-shot, i got that feeling the whole time.

It starts cute and innocent and suddenly turns into a strip party?

This is just too much for a one-shot in my honest opinion.

Okay we like a lot of graphics and many things to look at because we simply hate empty backgrounds but this is just way too much.

On some pages you don't even know what you're looking at.
A sword? More like a broken pillar with an iron bar peeled out (must read to understand).

Story : Below average.
Art : Great if it ever gets serialized, otherwise just too much.
Page-count : i got a feeling there are more like these so I'm not sure why this is stamped with 'one-shot'.
