Arisa GN 3Overall this volume of Arisa is slightly less thrilling than its predecessors with a more contrived feel. But it is still an interesting story with a central mystery worth solving. Ando's use of the cult-
Stepping on Roses GN 6Stepping on Roses is a romance novel, and as a genre piece, it succeeds totally. If you are fan of Boys Over Flowers or Hot Gimmick, you'll find a lot to enjoy here. On the other hand, if romances are not your bag, then this is not the series for you. You have been advised.
Fairy Tail GN 14After volume 13's lackluster arc transition, volume 14 makes a rip-
La Corda d'Oro GN 14While not the finest example of shoujo manga out there, or even of how enjoyable this series can be, La Corda's fourteenth volume is still good enough to read. “Less good” is still “okay” as far as this book is concerned, and this is still interesting and moderately engaging.
Higurashi: When They Cry GN 15The Atonement arc is considered one of the most intense, and series creator Ryukishi07 comments that heroine Rena embodies the world of the story like no other character, a girl trying to be normal in a world that won't allow it.

Majikoi - Oh! Samurai Girls! Episodes 1-7 Streaming
Majikoi isn't even mindless fun. It's plenty mindless. If it were any more so, it'd be legally dead. It just isn't much fun.
Toriko GN 7
All in all, this seventh volume is nothing spectacular. Toriko hunts, eats, harvests, and fights in all his burly glory. There's little depth to these actions, and Toriko and his friends aren't especially attractive to look upon, but the details that have gone into the world and the creatures lend this more interest than it might otherwise have.
