One Room Rakuen

A very short manga - after all, it appears to end with just one chapter! An otaku who hates his life accidentally summons a portal to heaven and one to hell. This is an unbeatable opportunity for both dimensions, as it's their only chance to influence Earth - but they're only allowed to influence this one room, and that's where this otaku sits. This is a very short story, so it's hard for me to say much about it. In any case, I went in expecting it to be a short comedy. Even though there is such a part, it's over quickly and soon it's on to thesadder side of the situation. It's about the life of the otaku, about his problems, about the value of life. It's almost amazing how much of this is packed into the few pages, but it's not enough to make it work well. In hindsight, I can think about the pages nicely, about the meaning they might have, but while I was reading I was actually just skimming through quickly. So if you want something to think about or are interested in the crazy situation, you should read this, but a really good story just doesn't come across in the one chapter.
