A collection / post of oneshot (or short) manga review.
All of the manga or oneshot discuss in this post are from Morinaga Milk's works. She is a female japanese yuri mangaka whose works I keep up. She has her own blog which updates are about her works only within uncertain period. She is presented herself in a form of chibi confused yet blushing white cat, or rather I say chibi white cat in tears of joy with red ribbon on its head. Here we go for review of Morinaga's several mangas.
Passionate Electric Waves is a short story, two chapters in Milk Shell [ミルクシェル] manga by Morinaga Milk which is already old (around 2002). Ema and Aya is a childhood friend who's in love with each other and get surprising visit by an alien amidst their relationship. This manga represents an old art with big eyes and round faces characters with typical shading of an old manga. The art shows mature contents with no censorship, that means, it's visible for our eyes to see the genital organ (unlike some yuri mangas which prevent to expose much about it). But, the story has cute nuance since the two main characters are cute too. The normal girl students in love who meet a weird alien. Even if it's simple one, but Ema who has deeper feeling and trust Aya is appealing. (RATE: 6) |

Bunny's Road is one of Morinaga Milk's short work that already translated by Dynasty-Scans. It contains 3 chapters. It will be a pleasant for you who likes punishment embedded in the story. The clumsy bunny girl works at a bar or restaurant will get punished by the leader of the bunny girls if she repeats her mistakes in the job. The punishment is, of course, in sexual meaning. It is a good choice for sparing time if you have kind of fetish to animal ears here. The sexual content is not between the girls, only with the toys they use here in funny way. The jokes and characters here are fun. The art is like an old manga, but more modern in design because it's in 2008. I like it better than Passionate Electric Wave above. I like the ending of this story anyway lol What a funny way of punishment represented here. I couldn't help but liking the new bunny girl teasing the clumsy main character. (RATE: 7.5) |

I can't agree for more as Dynasty-Scans says in the page of Mare [メア] manga, "This manga isn't for the faint of heart. It contains rape, hetero, tentacles, gore, and of course yuri (which isn't til later)." It has 10 chapters which the first half of it is episodic. We will have different kind of NSFW story within main characters' school. While the second half of it focusing on the main character's issue in the past that present in the present. Mea is said as Yagami Tsukiko's classmate and roommate. But, her present itself both as Tsukiko's classmate and roommate is manipulated by her power that can control demon. She is manipulating her presence in the school and mingle with it. 1st: Mea's existence, Yagami Tsukiko's introduction and issue. 2nd: Sawada and Sekiguchi-Sensei, forbidden affair at school. 3rd: Youko loves to be sexually pleased. 4th: Mea wants to run away from the semester exam. 5th: Kagura who believes in God. 6th: Yuka, about a girl who commits abortion. 7th-10th: A few chapters later is all about Mea, it tells about Mea's past and her life-and-death moment in the present that haunting her. The art for the human character is rounded-like with big rounded eyes and simple background (if there's any background details it'll be around school and simpler one). It has dark nuance enough for 19's manga and I like it. The art of the demons summoned by the main character is vary. For the goddess-like creature that shining and seems pure. There are demons who look firm built too like it's really from different dimension. The silly face and jokes are funny. I was curious about the summoned demons actually I eager to finish this less than an hour before I went to campus. The demon's presence itself isn't much, and beware of the contents in every chapters which might turn into something inconvenient to see. (RATE: 6.5) |

Heaven is Just There by Morinaga Milk is a oneshot manga. The idea of is adopted from PreCure, or should I say it's a doujinshi of PreCure series. In the introduction page before the chapter starts, Morinaga Milk greets us and states the reason why she made this one. It sounds like she was in love with the characters here and wanted to ship them in yuri-NSFW way. The characters chosen here are Tsubomi and Itsuki. It's freaking plain background like it's made in hurry. Since it's doujinshi I didn't have many problem with that. The angles are mainly taken close-up. Sadly, I didn't caught any special trait/characteristic of the characters, I didn't know how to understand more about the feelings tryna' put here (P.S.: Once again, it's only doujinshi and I, myself, haven't watched the real PreCure series anyway, so I don't have any idea about the real characters). There are NSFW scenes but less than moderate amount. I notice more feelings put in. By finding this oneshot, I just knew that Morinaga Milk also made several doujinshi(s). I don't know reall PreCure, so I assume this one is not adopted from PreCure series and merely Morinaga's work to make me rate it. (RATE: 6) |

The sweetness of an honesty can be found in Morinaga Milk's work titled "Fall in Love". In this oneshot, the story is focused on 2 girls. Basically it's how do they deal with their emotions to each other and tell it bravely. It has reverse chronology where the main characters tell their feelings in the present based on what happened in the past. There's no NSFW here, so the purity of romance and the sweetness of an honesty aren't stained by it (and I personally like it). The idea is simple, but it's supported with good art and lovely story.

Morinaga Milk, aside from did doujinshi of PreCure, also did doujinshi for Puella Magi Madoka Magica. She enclosed the introduction and showed her love to HomuHomu for both of her doujinshi of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, "Heaven is Here, My Love" and "Awaiting for That Day in This Sparkling Dream". I will compare these works to make a brief review. "Heaven is Here, My Love" has drama element on it unlike "Awaiting for That Day in This Sparkling Dream". For me, "Awaiting for That Day in This Sparkling Dream" is only NSFW and yuri stuff between HomuHomu without much emotions there. It has less detailed background too made it lack of nice impression. In the other hand, "Heaven is Here, My Love" has a solid idea as the storyline involving Japanese culture Tanabata Festival to reunite Homura and Madoka for awhile (here is when the NSFW scenes occur). "Heaven is Here, My Love" gets less characters from the real series involved, but drawn better than "Awaiting for That Day in This Sparkling Dream". |
