Reviews for Blade Play
Back to MangaIf you want an eechi manga well you found it. But if you wnat a story wellll you might wanna take a peek then move on. Blade Play starts off with a story you can understand but after a few character arcs and developement you will notice the story has been handed an umbrellla and forced to run down ten flights of stairs. If you don't understand the reference then just know, its a bad thing. All it does now is hand you fanservice, fanservice, fanservice, and then when its a fight scene the enemy is destroyed effortlessly. I liike Blade Play and wil continueto read it but i hope the story will become better (or at least funnier) than before.
This is one most bizarre and funniest manga i have ever read. The plot involves that the main characters get traps in this mmorpg in where he need to defeat or slay the queen of demons but how the main protagonist those this is where it gets really crazy, but nevertheless it is a funny thing to read or watch depending if you like the ecchi and harem type of manga. The art work is very decent to watch, sometimes the art can be plain with no a lot of art work between pages. The characters of this story can be really funny with thesituations that happens during the story events. There is not that much of characters development during the series, main point of this story is more of a funny manga with a lot of ecchi parts. So if you want to read something funny with a lot ecchi elements than i recommend this manga to you, but if looking for something more than this i recommend watching a hentai.
"mixed feelings" pretty accurately sums up my opinion of this manga. there are some good parts, but it takes a very steep dive in quality in the latter half. *Blade Play* is your typical isekai, except horny. i mean, just insanely, balls to the wall, hide your grandma horny. the premise is that an average japanese college student named kansuke sudo gets sucked into an MMORPG he was playing, and he's chosen as the hero with the power to purify demons. "how does he purify them?", you ask? by fucking them. no bullshit, he has sex at least once almost every chapter. this is much tothe chagrin of his companion (and later love interest) yuno algracia, a female knight tasked with protecting him over the course of his journey. i'll give *Blade Play* this; for the first 40% or so of the manga, it's awesome. the mangaka's sense of slapstick and comedic timing was elite, and it still managed to keep a semi-coherent and interesting story. the sex was a bit gratuitous, but i still managed to have a good time.
unfortunately, there were about 65 chapters afterwards, which became the ones that dragged the manga down as a whole. the mangaka seemed interested in expanding the world and changing the enemies our heroes were supposed to face, but he clearly wasn't interested in doing it in a coherent way. the latter half of the manga is a rollercoaster, and i mean that in the least complimentary way possible. characters randomly show up and get defeated instantly, the MCs get teleported to random places, and the main villain changes every 15 chapters. things just kinda... happen in the last 60ish chapters, and it doesn't make for good reading. the manga also struggles with tone. it makes an effort to start being darker and a bit more serious, but every other panel is the comic relief characters fucking around, which really ruins any feel of tension or intrigue.
eventually i just gave up trying to figure out wtf was going on and just went along for the ride, and i think that's what you're going to have to do if you want to enjoy this manga.
first half of the manga: 7/10
second half: 3/10
final score: 5/10
