Reviews for Even If You Slit My Mouth

Sad to see it end, but happy to have read it. The story isn´t all that incredible compared to other romance manga´s, however it does a good job delivering the romance, mystery, slice of life and comedy across to us. The way the protagonist interact with each other and how their relatiosahip develop as the story goes on is very WHOLESOME and CUTE indeed. The whole consept of the urban legends existing through stories told by others and depending of how popular they are it can inpact their existance is very intriging and does a good job of setting a good drama into the story. It definitely NEEDSan anime and I hope it gets one, the story is good enough to give it a chance and enjoy it.

Overall it´s a nice short manga that you can easily read without getting all confused on the story and the art style is very cute and serious when it needs to be. If you have the time and don´t know what to read or do, do give this manga a go it´s worth it!!!.

This manga was one of my favorites and I'm sad to see it completed. Every week it appeared it was funny, heartfelt, dramatic, and fun. The characters were easy to like and root for. The premise of someone marrying an urban legend was also intriguing. I really liked how creative the story became and I enjoyed the finale leading up to the final chapter. That said, sometimes it was difficult to tell some characters apart and there were a handful of chapters that dragged, but that didn't detract from the overall experience. I really wish it could get an anime but it's so short thatthat's probably unlikely.

If you enjoy supernatural stories, romance, and a good mix of drama and comedy, then you'll probably enjoy this manga. I found it to be cute and I looked forward to every update. I'm really truly going to miss it now that it's finished.

Listen, this manga is by no means a masterpiece. The characters are fairly one-dimensional, and the plot (if you can call it that) is pretty much fluff. Now that the "negative" aspects are out of the way, let me tell you why this is one of my favorite short mangas I've read! Yes, there is not much substance in regards to storyline, characterization, conflict, etc. Doesn't matter! It's short. It's cute. It's soft. The art is both easy on the eyes and unique enough to stick out in your mind. The relationship between "Miroku"-Chan and Kouchi is *just* will-they/won't-they enough to keep you interested without irritatingyou. There's 10 chapters out at the moment, and I'm hoping that there will be more to look forward to in the future.

In short, if you're looking for warm fuzzies and a feel-good but offbeat romance, this is your one-stop-shop for all of that with a cute monster girl working the register.

I haven't used this site in a few years. Now that the manga has ended, it would be a disservice not to leave a review praising this amazing story. If you enjoy wholesome romance you HAVE to read this story! Seriously, what a 11/10! I'm a huge romance enjoyer and this is up there with the best of the best in my opinion. The story is intricate, the romance is fierce, and the wholesome fluffy moments are EVERYWHERE. I cannot possibly recommend it enough if you looking for something that will put a smile on your face. I don't want to drag this out or spoilanything so all I can say is please read this! Again, if you enjoy wholesome romance you can't go wrong with this one!

Well, since this manga has so little reviews i think i should writte one. This can be described as a entertaining manga. Doesn't over complicate some aspects and is pretty much enjoyable. It's premise is new (atleast for me) and easy to follow, you can expect some fun gags and cute moments. Yep this is that type of story. Obviously, if you're seeking for a "masterpiece" in therms of deep of the characters and all that: i personally don't think you're going to enjoy this. But, for a story to read and pass time it's actually pretty solid. I like the art and the characters alot, they're pretty good. You already saw what's this story about and... maybe it could surprise you a little. Just a hunch, my pal.

Story: 8/10 Sorry but i'm so soft hearted to this type of stories so i look forward to what's going to happen in the future.

Art: 9/10 I think the drawigs are good and i like the designs too. Simple but effective (except for Miroku, she is so adorable)

Character: 9/10 I personally like them a lot, they're fun and don't ever bore me. That's enough for me atleast.

Enjoyment: 10/10 Pretty satisfied with this work, i had a lot of fun reading it and the chapters were finished in the blink of an eye.

Overall: 9/10

Obviously: this is from my point of view.

-If you like this... it's fine!

-If you don't... It's also fine!

If all of us had to have the same opinions, the world would be very boring.

Also:This is my first review so, I might not been able to express myself properly... thank you for reading this with all his flaws!

Peak romcom. Awesome manga. idgaf It's a romantic comedy and it delivers!!! It didn't need to go deep it just had to be sweet and fluffy but there are attempts to give the "plot" some depth and there is to a certain degree but that is more than enough for a romcom. On top of all that the art is just great, a romcom like this these days is a diamond on top of a pile of shit. Seriously don't take this manga for granted, it might not be for everyone but considering most romcoms most will come to reconsider their opinion on this

great series; underrated. heres a short review: PROS: Wholesome, cute, made me jealous as fuck with all the kissing and hugging panels. Art is great. Characters are very nice and fleshed out. Most of the stuff is explained. Character dynamics are great. Last arc was amazing, honestly made me genuinely smile and almost cry. Title drops were fantastic. Amazing and wholesome conclusion. Short read. Cute main relationship + side relationships. Great backstories. Miroku's origin is amazing. CONS: It was like very timepass and episodic (chapteric?) at the beginning, but later(middle) became a bit more story focused and the last arc... it just hit like a goddamn frking truck. Itwas inconsistent in that regard. In the beginning it felt like there was no story/world building but later it dived way too deep into the lore about urban legends & sano family.

The characters were sometimes difficult to distinguish due to the art style. I thought the bully from Koichi's memory was a kid version of Uda lol.

Miroku (Kuchisake onna) was depicted a little scary at the beginning but later on just became an avg cute anime girl just with a few X marks on her face. They should've kept the 'scary' vibe to her and used her slit-mouth gimmick till the end.

Ch. 45; whatever was done to Koichi just pissed me off.

Mikoto should just fucking kill himself. Like end it. Fuck off. Kys. Annoying ass son of a bitch. Ruined the experience for me. Absolutely retarded.

OVERALL:

Great read. Short. Just give it a chance it's worth it. Deserves an adaptation but prolly won't get one.

I love this manga, The characters are intresting so as the plot. It's wholesome to read this, already re read this many times. One of the best manga i have ever read. I hope this gets an anime adaptation! The art is beautifully, i hardly find any manga having this much good art quality. The artist and the mangaka are doing an amazing job! Hats off to their hard work! I am also planning to support the author of i can, if this gets an anime adaptation i am sure it would be a hit! there are 2 manga of this but this one is the real one! I foundits also well loved on YouTube too! If i can buy this i am ready to buy it, Hoping for this to get an anime adaptation

I think I was 16 when I first realized that shonen jump made content capable of making my heart skip a beat in that embarrassing to talk about kind of way. It was Nisekoi, in case you're curious. A silly little manga about two kids who kind of hated each other in that late 2000s mutually-assured-tsundere kind of way. Cheesy, repetitive, fairly horny (for the time). I fucking loved it. Loved it in the past tense, of course. I was their age back when I read it, andevery time I try to read it now it's just creepy and off-putting to me, which

sucks, to be honest. I've got super fond memories of that genre; the kind that

makes you feel like you're infringing upon your own masculinity for sitting

with baited breath hoping to god that the soap-opera doesn't end on 'this much

of a cliffhanger.' A disciple of Komi Naoshi went on to make Bokutachi wa

Benkyou ga Dekinai, which is a less subtle, far hornier series that sits

slightly north of Nisekoi, yet far south of everything they've let Kentaro

Yabuki publish. I remember liking it, but it never really made me feel what I

felt when I read Nisekoi; it felt almost too erotic for that. Jitsu Wa Watashi

Wa got close, but it felt like it was stirring more of a comedic stew than a

persistently romantic one. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid definitely hits the

emotional bells loudly enough, but it doesn't exercise those inexplicably

sensitive emotional strings that men like me feel like they have to pretend

they don't have when they read manga about healthy and loving relationships.

Then, I saw that chapter one of 'Even If You Slit My Mouth' came out.

At first I thought it was going to be a twee variant of Mieruko-Chan,

juxtaposing gorey horror shots and bored straight-man routines to invoke

comedy. To be frank, I never got the appeal.

One page in, we get our first rug pull. This ain't no horror manga, this is a

good old yokai dating sim! Er, I guess there's kind of novelty there. It's

Jump, so we know it won't be Monster Musume 2.0, and I also had a feeling it

wouldn't have that mild air of awkwardness that Demi-Chan did from a while

back. It seems to me it's a tsundere focused high school drama with an intimate

fixation on emotional tension and the stigmas of marriage and relationships.

This, my friends, was something I could get behind. I've always loved these

kinds of Manga, but I'd never seen anything outside of Josei or Shojo actually

manage to nail this kind of setting in a way that was explicitly aimed at the

male heterosexual sensibility, without the stereotypical air of homoerotic

undertones. But there's none of that here.

By the end of chapter 2, I start noticing the things that were there, rather

than noticing the things that weren't there. It was faint, but that vibe of

adolescent secondhand emotional embarrassment had finally returned.

We came for the cute yokai wife, and we stayed for the drama. I'm in.

After a few chapters, as our cast of characters grows, we get the

meta-commentary that I didn't know I needed. Commentary on how the power

dynamic of these kinds of asymmetric relationships play out, commentary on what

it means to love somebody who's older than you and how screwed up that can be,

and what it can eventually mean to love somebody who you know for certain will

outlive you.

There's a very, very subtle arc that builds in the background of this manga for

10 chapters or so. This passive storytelling was so successful that I didn't

even notice it was happening until it delivered a punchline about a side

character that hit me like a cement mixer dropped from space. The romantic

depictions of love in this manga are so well executed that I can't name many

other manga that are comparably weighty while also maintaining such an

unwavering commitment to optimism and levity.

This manga is truly something special.

I love it, and so will you.

At time of writing, in the USA, you can read the whole thing, legally, for free,

on Mangaplus.

Please go read it.

According to my personal standards for romance manga this one checks all the boxes! When romance is mixed with supernatural themes I find myself loving the story more than the ones set in the modern day world. Even if the plot doesn't look interesting to your average reader the author created such well written characters, making it hard to put the book down. Almost every character in the story has their own little romance that is explored without feeling too rushed or overshadowing the main characters, making the story ten times more enjoyable for me. It's extremely entertaining with its balance of comedic gags andslow paced execution of romance that made my heart skip a beat. Every chapter I saw Miroku be cherished and loved by Kouichi!

So if you're looking for a fun refreshing romance with supernatural themes then look no further. Also since this was one of my FIRST manga it DESERVES an anime adaptation or at least English physicals!

If you enjoy supernatural stories, especially those rooted in urban legends and myths, this love story will likely captivate you. The depth with which the author explores folklore adds an exciting layer of drama and mystery, keeping you engaged. The way the plot unfolds is both satisfying and heartwarming, always developing around the personalities of the characters, who are not only unique but also well-developed. My only reservation is in how the characters express their feelings. I felt there could have been more honest, vulnerable moments where the characters openly discuss their emotions. Some interactions felt a bit restrained, and I would have loved to seemore emotional depth in their communication, Especially Kouichi, he ended up having many moments where he regressed in the way he expressed his feelings.

Regarding the ending, is beautiful, it delivers everything you expect from a love story, it's really heartwarming, leaves a lasting impression. Don't hesitate to give this wonderful manga a try, you won’t regret it!

In my mind, the media that deserve the lowest scores aren't the ones that flaunt themselves as trash — those set out to be terrible, banking on either raging people into engagement or keeping them entertained with shameless brain rot. No, the works that deserve the lowest scores are the ones that set out to be good, and still come out lacking. That may sound like a dramatic introduction for this manga, but that's exactly how I feel about it: what seemed like such a promising and adorable premise quickly began to churn out chapter after chapter of the same gags, the same panels, the same"ooo look how scary I am [MC breathes in her direction]... oh MY senpai, I-I-I didn't know you could b-be so forward (˵ó‸ò˵)." These kinds of interactions were already exhausting by the end of the first volume, let alone a fifth of the way into the entire manga itself.

Another gripe I have is with the male MC: while I appreciate that he's not the two-dimensional incel-coded painfully shy/apathetic wuss that constitutes 99% of male protagonists in romcoms, being a two-dimensional overly arrogant but constantly protected by plot armor and whose literal presence induces a state of arousal in the female MC jock isn't exactly a step in the right direction. Not to mention the moment you actually try to imagine their relationship in the real world — not the monster elements, but the emotional core that drives their actions — you have something a whole lot closer to adamant inner delusion or Stockholm Syndrome than you do to true love.

This manga is like so many others: a pleasantly simple premise with a "twist" slapped onto it (she's a monster), which the author immediately proceeds to use as a permanent crutch in place of good or even interesting writing, instead hitting the same two keys — the single-frame female blushing panel, and the single-frame blushing female panel with *sparkles*.

A manga with limited potential that, at least as far as I read it, failed spectacularly to capitalize on it. 3/10

god save me from the diabetes thats about to hit me after finishing this. like holy hell was it sweet and wholesome af, plus i love the god darn art, it looked so soft and beautiful. ill be honest, i had those eye twitching moments where i was like "damn that world must be small, for everyone relevant from the past and present to be present in that exact place but everything else was pretty god darn good. definitely a recommended. knock urself out and keep ur diabetes in check. gotta go on a rant from here onwards to please the requirement to publicxd,

honestly, idk if its cuz i havent read alot of urban legends, i found it interesting, (and no jjk doesnt count, curses). it was quite interesting, though i might do some fact checking about the legends given in there. Loved the instances where the mc took a step forward, before turning into a beet root (dk if thats how its referred to but i mean blush), and the fmc taking the lead on the 2nd half was quite the change needed. i could see how a decent portion might dislike this but frick u, ur opinion fair but still...frick u xd

Amazing manga, would HIGHLY recommend only if you plan on finishing! The main reason is that it starts off fairly one-dimensional. It’s basically “oh, theres a guy and he loves this slit-mouthed urban legend girl that doesn’t like him back.” It’s just your average romance feel-good manga at first. The reason I absolutely LOVE this manga is later on is because of a complex mix of romance and just so many other emotions created in the future (including confusion later on)! But back to the reason I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this (if you plan on not dropping after the first few chapters and can get through theone-dimensional parts). Like I said before and I’ll absolutely say it again, the plot will become so complex once you learn about them, and some may even make you cry. The simple ideas that are introduced at the start of the manga and the wordplay sets the stage for the later complexity of the series.

Bring a tissue for this one, because this can get so sad so quickly. And get ready to just turn your phone off and think about what you read, because some parts will make your jaw drop from either how insane and tense it gets, or how much of a plot twist could happen.

In conclusion, this manga starts off one-dimensional. It starts as the average feel-good manga at first, but if you can get past that, it becomes full of emotions and will, without a doubt, make your jaw drop.
