Rating system

Hey you.

I’ve decided to implement a rating system on all the manga I’ve read, to tell you if it’s worth the read. The ratings will be split into 4 categories:

Plot – Obviously, this is one of the most important aspects of manga (or for the matter of fact, any good read). Will this make you beg for more? Or is it so darn predictable it makes you look like Nostradamus? This category is upon 30.

Drawing – A category regarded as one of the most important in the world of comics, be it Japanese, American or Martian. Granted, different artists have different styles of drawing, and distinct differences may be seen between Shoujo and Shounen manga. (For example, hair in general. Shoujo manga characters tend to have wavier hair which look more realistic while Shounen manga characters tend to have more unique hairstyles, some of which look like durians) Does the artist’s drawing fit the character’s personality? This category is upon 30.

Characters – Some may say this category ought to be under Plot, but this is my blog, so stop whining. This category is upon 20.

Feel – This category IS a little ambiguous. But it cannot be denied that even if the plot and drawing is excellent, there may be the “Oom” missing. This is where this category comes in. This category is upon 20.

If you’ve noticed, I just added a rating to the end of the Ouran High School Host Club post and the Bleach Part I post. Will do so for future posts as well.
