This is what tethysdust said this week:
Quote:
Tanuki de Pon was a very simple and cute comedy. Gentle-Kun was also a comedy, but of the silly, over-dramatic sort. Tenraku Akuma Demon's Core might have the most promise of the three. There's quite a lot of ecchi-ness, but I think the story was a neat idea.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
Quote:
E-robot might have some potential. The characters are like-able, and if they author can make creative use of the 'fighting with errors' idea, the battle portion might actually be interesting.
The other two... were very uninteresting.
My opinion:
Personally, this week didn't particularly appeal to me that much, but each manga would appeal to different demographics...
Akuma to Ore is good for those wanting a supernatural and more adult-ecchi manga that lasts just for one volume.
E-Robot - If you want a more PG-13 type of ecchi and don't want to invest that much time into it with some action thrown in, then this would be the one-shot for you.
Gentle-kun is for those of you wanting a silly one-shot.
Houkago of the Dead - Those wanting to get into the zombie craze may want to check out this one-shot about zombies~
Tanuki de Pon! - Want to check out a transforming tanuki/raccoon and watch its interactions with a girl, then this is up your alley. It'll appeal to the slice-of-life crowd~
Tenraku Akuma! Demon's Core - another manga that'll appeal to the ecchi reader, but more comedy thrown in than the other two.
