Gamerz Heaven (6/10) In a typical shounen manga, there would be a happy ending for the cast, and the main lead would end up with the female lead. This manga does not do that. This is THE shounen manga where the main male lead has a male love interest and where the female main has a female love interest for her. Yes, we have an LGBTQ+ cast right here. This is the good thing about this series, along with being what is unique about it. Letās start off with some of the good things about Gamerz Heaven. IN THE BEGINNING: We have a third year middle schooler namedKaito who is obsessed with video games, that some of his classmates cannot comprehend why heās so into video games. One day, he finds a mysterious disc with the words āGAMERZ HEAVENā on it. Kaito who is really curious without hesitation plays the game, but he realizes itās no ordinary game: it MERGES the REAL world with the GAME world. In this first level, he meets a boy called the Navigator (who is a character of the game) and finds one of his classmates (who was class president of his class) has turned into a demon that the main lead ends up killing. The next day, none of Kaitoās friends (they are in the same class as him) seem to remember the class president that disappeared. In order to figure things out, Kaito and his friends enter the strange game. The beginning chapters dragged me into their world, and I wanted to find out more about what exactly was going on in this game. I wanted to know exactly how DANGEROUS this video game was. CHARACTERS: The characters arenāt too memorable, but they also refuse to be forgettable either. They make up a fun cast. What I love about the characters is that not one of them is technically straight xD xD Kaitoāgame-obsessed otaku who is hella dense. He and Kyouko are childhood friends. Heās infatuated with Navigator. Kyoukoāsmart girl with glasses who attends cram school. She has an unrequited crush on Kaito, but may have a soft spot for her friend Rio too. Navigatorāthe smol one who helps out Kaito and co. and is kind of like a āwantedā convict. He at first is monotone and lacks emotion, but he does develop. Navigator gets attached to Kaito, and it becomes more obvious in the later chapters. Ren---heās just as obsessed with video games as Kaito. It seems he has feelings for him. Rio---a sassy girl and good friends with Kyouko. Sheās pretty good at games in the game center. She has a crush on Kyouko. Eventually, thereās a bit of a flashback showing where the origin of that love comes from and how she and Kyouko first meet, which I thought was pretty neat. There are more characters, like Renās dog and an idiot trio, but the ones above make up the main cast. ART: I actually kinda like the art style. It was easy to see the battle scenes and distinguish the characters. Itās not the best art Iāve ever seen (like Tegami Bachi), but it DEFINITELY ISNāT the worst. The beginning chapters start off very strong and shounen-like, but unfortunately later on, I felt that the art got a bit more feminine to the point it looked like shoujo manga almost (in one scene, there was a shoujo bubble effect). TOWARDS THE ENDING: So, why did I give this manga a LOWER SCORE despite all the good stuff I said about the manga? Well, it was because of certain parts of the middle to the end that caused its downfall. The manga was trying too hard to be dramatic and add a bunch of plot twists to the point that the manga was unable to answer any of the questions I had. For example, who gave Kaito the video game in the first place? How did this game cause all of this madness like the disappearing classmate? What exactly was the goal in this game? There are a lot more questions I would type here, but that would reveal a bunch of spoilers. To be honest, the ending was absolutely horrible, and the last chapter was extremely rushed. None of the questions I thought of were answered. It was utterly UNACCEPTABLE. This was the example of what NOT to do in an ending (this reminded me of the time when I read the last chapter of D.N.Angel). WHY YOU PROBABLY MIGHT WANT TO OR NOT WANT TO READ IT: What I really like about this manga was the fact that it was one of the only shounen manga in existence to have canon shounen ai and shoujo ai treated equally. And no! Itās not just subtext! There are legit intimate moments between the characters! It wasnāt obvious which (shounen ai or shoujo ai) the mangaka preferred (I only found out after finishing the manga that it was made by the same creator as āGraviation,ā a popular yaoi manga). If you want to read a manga for the sake of a gay middle schooler cast, then try reading āGamerz Heavenā (you might still be put off by the ending.. But if youāre just interested in yaoi, thereās a doujinshi based off of this series made by the same mangaka that you could read. Iām not sure if itās good or not because I donāt read yaoi)! But if you are expecting an excellent story with a satisfying ending that ties up all the knots to the story and donāt care so much for the romance, then I suggest you find another manga.
Kaito Suzuki discovers a video game, Gamerz Heaven, that transports him to another different dimension. Upon arriving in the bizarre new world, Kaito discovers a cute little boy known as the "navigator," which he names Nata. Everyone in Gamerz Heaven is out to capture Nata, and Kaito can only beat the game by saving him. This will be difficult for Kaito, as Gamerz Heaven is only a beta version with a limited number of saves. Kaito soon discovers in that everything that happens in Gamerz Heaven affects the real world, and characters that die in the game are wiped from the memories of everyone in his dimension.

This manga is 20 chapters long and to be honest it should have been a lot longer i felt like the last few chapters were rushed and the ending was some what unclear. however the main story line was interesting and kept me reading and although parts of it were predictable i still liked it. the artwork was average and i loved all the cute moments between the characters because they are all so different and yet so funny. overall i give this manga a 7 1/2 out of ten because the ending ruined it for me but if your looking for a quick interesting manga try thefirst few chapters to see if you like it because it is definitely one i would recommend but not read a second time.
