Is The Rain Leaves a Scar Worth Reading? Review & Where to Read
The setup is genuinely eerie, but five chapters just isn't enough room to do it justice.
Spoiler-light · Honestly rated
Every review labels its spoiler level, separates art from writing, and ends with an official way to read.
We use the whole 1–10 scale and judge each title against the best version of what it is trying to be — a comedy on how funny it is, a thriller on its tension — not against some other genre. As a rough guide: 9+ is all-time great, 8 excellent, 7 a solid recommendation with caveats, 5–6 mixed or average. A 7 is a genuine yes, not a knock. The “Community score” in each review is the crowd rating from AniList, MAL, and MangaUpdates, shown next to ours for comparison.

The setup is genuinely eerie, but five chapters just isn't enough room to do it justice.

Dense in the best wuxia tradition, and genuinely tragic by the end — it just moves fast enough that the emotional beats sometimes outrun the art.

This retelling stays faithful to a genuinely dramatic myth — it just doesn't have the length to fully develop everyone around its lead.

Creepy and well-drawn, and confident enough in its central question — who or what is actually responsible — to take its time answering it.

Messy, over-plotted, and unapologetically pulpy — the kind of manhua you read for the tomb-raiding set pieces, not the writing.

Big, satisfying mecha brawls stapled to a plot that jumps around too much to ever build real momentum.

It's a soft, low-stakes romance that leans on charm over drama, and for what it's trying to be, that charm holds up across a very long run.

This is a foundational story wearing an older-style manhua's clothes — the ambition and heart are all there, the polish is inconsistent.

Some of the best historical political drama and art in manhua, cut off mid-story by a real-world legal fight with no resolution in sight.

Trades the usual stat-grinding isekai loop for something closer to a long game of strategic chess, and it's better for it.

The notebook gimmick keeps generating new ideas 100+ chapters in, which is more than most power-system horror manages.

Solid art wrapped around a zombie-system story that doesn't hold together as well as its premise promises.
