Review: Overall, I felt like a lot of these stories felt they were rushed on a tight deadline, they aren’t bad but not great either.
The best ones IMO, were Memory Maze and Attack on Attack on Titan. Memory Maze has beautiful artwork and the story is very poignant and tragic. Attack on Attack on Titan is a bunch of gag comedy strips and they were all pretty funny, definitely recommended. Lastly I would say two runners up for best story, The Titan’s Laugh and Skies Above were also pretty good.
Recommended: A lot of these stories aren’t going to appeal to manga readers just from the art style alone. After that, a bunch of these stories are underwhelming and some are confusing. But there are a few gems in here that are worth checking out.
Age Rating: PG13: mostly for violence. One lesbian kiss.
