30 Day Manga Challenge: Day 7 - A manga you disliked enough to stop reading

THERE ARE LOTS.

I have been reading manga since I was 10. Sure it was late, but hey, I couldn't even buy my own manga until I was 15. It is hard to have expensive hobby, y'know. And I read a lot of manga, from shoujo to seinen, I lost count of how many manga I dislike enough to stop reading.

I mostly borrow manga I read from Asri (a library) or friends so it is not a big deal if I hate it and then stop reading. But I have two mangas which I bought two years ago and just plainly dislike it. This one, from 3L publisher, I don't know if they are legal or not now in Indonesia, I always think they are illegal publisher, but then I bought this in Gramedia, super big bookstore in Indonesia.


Boys are silly, sex-hungry, and naughty. This book studies boys, living creatures totally different from girls, in detail, to answer questions about boys and their behaviors.

I thought it'd be friendship-slash-bromance kind of manga. It's just not my cup of tea /weeps

I learned the hard way, I bought it when I was just a poor college student, never bought anything from 3L never judge manga by its cover!

Shibatora Vol. 1


Judul: Shibatora
Mangaka: Masashi Asaki
Cerita: Yuma Ando
Penerjemah: Lenny
Genre: shonen, drama, supernatural
Penerbit: Level Comics (Elex Media)
Bintang: ✮ ✮ ✮

Blurb:
Taketora Shibata adalah opsir patroli dengan kemampuan misterius yang sering diremehkan karena penampilannya seperti anak kecil. Tapi, dia sangat serius dalam menegakkan keadilan.
Suatu hari, Taketora menangkap Mizuki, gadis yang mengutil di toko Kojiro, temannya. Anehnya, Mizuki yang ceria dan cerewet malah gemetar ketakutan saat tahu ayahnya akan menjemputnya di pos polisi. Ada apa sebenarnya di balik hubungan Mizuki dan ayahnya?

Opini

Rasanya saya sudah agak bosan dengan karakter utama polisi naif, sungguh. Apa semua polisi di manga harus dibuat idealis dan naif untuk menunjukkan existensi polisi?
