A Madoka<\/a>-like series formatted in the style of a Japanese light novel, Nowhere Stars<\/a> revolves around horrors both physical and mental from multiple different vectors; personal, familial, societal, eldritch. When it started out the only issues it really had were that the protagonist goes from “I’ll do anything to live” to “No get out, I have to sleep on this” in the blink of an eye, and the harbinger-related scenes occasionally being too wordy. By the end of the third though I did not like how the direction of events seemed to be forcing the protagonist into becoming a celebrity against her core desires.<\/p>\n

The Suterareta Tensei Kenja series<\/a>, whose English publisher can’t seem to decide on a translation for its subtitle (monster’s, monsters, and monsters’ are all used in different places), is basically a mix of Tensura<\/a> and Okiraku Ryoushu no Tanoshii Ryouchi Bouei<\/a>. The protagonist is a workaholic who can never stop moving like the latter series’ and he’s building a monster town while directly evolving the inhabitants like the former’s, the result being a purestrain overpowered protagonist escapist fantasy with slightly too fast pacing. Oh, and while it should be noted that it currently has no romance elements… based on the highly questionable artwork included I suspect that will eventually change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
