Peach Girl: Sae's Story
As hard as this manga tried to make me like Sae, I still can't stand her character. She doesn't become a better person miraculously, and her past just shows her being a bitch to a dog just because she's weak. It's not as if she really accepts the dog at the end either. I don't know, somehow the story is lacking...depth? Maybe it needed another volume that actually showed her actually getting stronger instead of faking it all of the time. Despite the interesting character traits (she's cunning, stubborn, headstrong, etc), she's still such a pathetic character. Boo... (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Ouji To Hero
It started out moderately interesting (I'd give it 3 stars) but the chapters 14 & 15 were so awful I couldn't believe it. The ending was so rushed that it ruined the entire story! First off, how did the author think it would be okay to reconcile 2 couples and a pair of friends in all of 10 pages? So 2 years of hatred and misunderstanding are gone with a simple high five? Did Hero ever take back his withdrawal? Who destroyed Megumi's house and how/why did she come across Hero and come to depend on him, especially when she liked Ouji so much? If Hero knew their feelings were mutual, why didn't he just tell Ouji where she was rather than waste 2 years taking care of her? I'm assuming her paid her rent too, considering her family went bankrupt. And the whole "weak body" situation just seemed like a convenient excuse the author had pop up out of thin air considering the Megumi of the past seemed perfectly healthy and we never actually saw her get sick or injured or anything that would cause her to become so physically fragile. Not to mention, this author seems to have a really bad habit of making her characters act cold as their only means of communication. Ouji acts coldly, then Hero acts coldly, then Megumi acts coldly to Hana for staying close to Hero after making that request, then Hero acts coldly again, then that random girl who likes Ouji ends her friendship act all of a sudden and turns cold too? ...what?!!! It made so little sense I couldn't stop rolling my eyes the entire time I was reading.
Matsuri Special
I just love when the guy who's been nice from the beginning wins over the guy who only acts nice after he likes her. For that, 4 stars! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Chibi Vampire
I'm giving this a rare 5 stars because of the way this manga allowed us to connect to the characters, particularly to Karin's family. I adore the end of this manga, where we got to see just how deep their love for Karin went (it makes me tear up every time T_T). But this is a story I would absolutely read again, despite seeming to target a younger demographic than me
Oko-sama Star
It was a nice story and the characters were cute but the art seemed messy somehow. By that I mean the artistic extras (like the blushes and sweat droplets) were so excessive I found it difficult to focus on the story. I guess I would have preferred if the art were a bit cleaner?
