Amita4ever's manga / #3 star(173)

5 chaps - Kinda leaves you hanging, but not necessarily in the bad way. The story is complete and it has an ending, but your left wishing there was more. Overall, a rather novel Genie story.

I'm of mixed opinion on this one. I don't like where it starts, but I do like where it ends up. The characters grow, especially the girl. It is unfortunate that the first half of chapter 1 (maybe more) is missing and it felt like something was missing until I figured that out. I ended up reading it on MangaPark where one of the versions is intact.

One shot - it was a really sweet story, until the end :(. That's wasn't how I wanted it to end :( Still, it was an interesting read. Iv'e see the same concept used elsewhere, but they made a series out of it and it had a much different ending. Wish I could remember the name.

4 chaps (3stories)

One shot - Cowardice comes at a price, and great can be the reward for overcoming, but is it worth trying if you might fail?

2 chaps - Guilt is such a powerful motivator, especially when applied to a child. A tragic story with a bittersweet end.

3 chaps - but really feels like there should have been four.

20 full color chaps - After being saved by the enemy chieftain's daughter, a young warrior discovers he has picked up a forbidden power and a broader understanding of his clan's prejudice.

The age thing often gets me in manga, because it's not as culturally accepted in America has it evidently is in Japan, so I try to ignore it and focus on the other parts of the story. That said this was really cute and I could see such a romance growing between two people who love books so much. It is a completed story, but it had a feel could be continued, and that wouldn't have been a bad thing.

And unlikely, but cute, little tale is about learning to like yourself.
