Hibi Chouchou - Review


[ Manga Review] - 无口之恋- Hibi ChouChou 


Written by Morishita Suu 




STATUS:ongoing
CHAPTER: 18
GENRE: school life, romance

Summary(from MangaHere):

From Day of the River: Upon entering high school, the very quiet but extremely cute Suiren becomes the immediate center of attention among the boys…but one particular boy does not look her way.The story of a quiet girl and a quiet boy. A short, refreshing love story.

Review:


Well it is hard for a story to go anywhere especially when both of the main characters are <extremely> shy.The main girl, Takane Suiren is one of the most emotionless character "ever". It was nice that she isn’t those whiny and  attention deficit heroine but the fact that she hardly ever speaks is agonizing .She just stares at the main guy is a ver creepy manner *shivers* . The guy one the other hand (Kawasumi) is not as bad as her but he is shy alright. The story is slow-paced and is just filled with lots of cute moments. There’s nothing wrong with indulging with romance manga every now and then so go check it out.

Overall score- 7/10 

Obaka-chan, Koikatariki - Review

[Manga Review] - おバカちゃん- Obakachan, Koikatariki


Written by Sato Zakuri 






















Status: ongoing
Chapters: 24
Genre: Romance, School life, Comedy, Shoujo


Summary (MangaReader) :
From Shinnen: Since childhood, Neiro has been known for being good at fighting, making people fear her and giving her the title of Kansai s strongest woman. Wanting to find romance, she decides to transfer to a highschool in Kantou. Instead, what faced her was a specially assembled class of delinquents.

Review :
When I happened to read this manga I couldn't stop laughing . 
The plot isn't all that complex, in fact its pretty common. Super strong girl, sick of being thought of as a rough girl (Oresama Teacher anyone ? ), transfers to another school in search of love.It must me the epitome of Shoujo comedy alright -.- 

                           


 The heroin is by far the best projected character , she acts so strong and funny, I like her the best, yayee. She is not weak, crying in a corner, or calling in her mind a guy to save her.There was just this once where I was very irritated with her - she gets paint in her hair and cuts it. WHY CUT IT? There is NO need to cut your hair. Just put it up and wash it out when you get home- its not the end of the world. I know its the authors who wish to be dramatic but My god.

The art style has grown on me, mostly since it fits the humorous actions of the char­ac­ters quite well, and the way Zakuri is goofing off with it is hilarious.
Definitely one of my favorites, couldn't stop laughing like a sap, doki doki.


Overall score - 8.7/10

Annarasumanara - Review

[Manga review] - 안나라수마나라 -Annarasumanara

Written by Ha Il-kwon



















STATUS: completed
CHAPTERS: 27 
GENRE: Drama, Mystery, romance, school life 

SUMMARY(from MangaFox) 
"Do you believe in magic?"

A rumor goes around school about an abandoned amusement park and a magician who lives there that can make someone disappear for good. Yoon Ai, a very smart girl in her class, struggles to feed herself and her sister everyday. She just wants to become an adult faster so that she can escape from the poverty and the reality of her current situation. One day, her life changes as she meets a childish magician who asks her: "Do you believe in magic?"


REVIEW : 

This was the first manhwa (Korean manga)- slash-webtoon that I read.Yes, I was a little skeptical at reading it first because the cover is, err.. not that appealing. But this was one tear jerker. The drawing was really good. And the Magician guy was mmm - HOT. And the girl is not annoying or nerve tensing at all and you can completely bear with her *drums roll* .Though the main character, Ai, admits that she is now a boring adult ,she has not fully given up on following her own path. I think this is the case for many of us as well; we have dreams and passions but we don’t know how we can slip them into the world we live in.  You absolutely got to read this if you haven't already. Yada yada  I should stop giving out any more spoilers, tehehe.
And i still can spell Annarasumanara. I mean what is it in the first place ? Korean for Abracadabra maybe ? :o 

Overall score - a 9/10 maybe :) 

Kare no Aijou no Hakari - Review

Kare no Aijo no Hakari 


Written by Touda Yoshimi




















STATUS : complete
CHAPTER: 3
GENRE: drama, school life 

Summary: 
From Sound of Jewels:

Everyone loves Arishige's smile but Mioko has a strange feeling about it. And then, she will discover what Arishige is hiding behind it...

Review :
I have no clue how I found this manga. If you have any objections about gay relations, DON'T READ IT. 
I had mixed feelings about it at the end. I pictured romantic encounter and love rivals when I first saw the cover. But this is definitely a very rare story. Read it if you are adventurous enough. It kind of cliff hangs the readers at the end. I think that they're completely friend zoned at the end. Arishige's claim in the last chapter clears up the fact that he is gay.What I think is, that neither Mioko's love for Arishige and Arishige's love for Asaba are completely dissolved in the end. But this definitely ain't shoujo - took me quite some time to figure that out. 

Overall score - 9/10 for individuality of the story 

Review - Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji

Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji 


Written by Hatta Ayuko

       





























STATUS : Ongoing
CHAPTERS : 17 
GENRE- comedy, romance, school life, shoujo

Summary (MangaFox): Erika lied to her friends about having a boyfriend by showing a picture of an anonymous guy who turned out to be a a schoolmate of hers and was shortly recognized by her friends. Their conversations then was overheard by the guy, Sata Kyouya. Erika went to explain and proposed her idea of faking as lovers. However, Sata who gave off the nice-charming feelings guy turns out to be a black prince and used her reasons to blackmail her instead.

REVIEW : 

Hot guy alert >.< . Really. 
Plot twist : Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji has a masochist and a sadist for leads [for real]. For a shoujo, it can be quite frightening. I confess that there are times where I felt disturbed because I was enjoying this even if I feel that it pushes itself a little too far. That said, this story has made me believe that sometimes being an idiot can even soften the heart of the coldest man [hahaha \(^.^)/].At the beginning he doesn't seem to believe in love but then he gradually starts to open his heart to Erika. Because his nature is normally cold and bad at expressing feelings I never expected him to change at all. He was like a heartless jerk in the beginning but Erika's but idiocy makes up for it . A very odd shoujo plot.I love this for that reason and it has been executed well enough for me to appreciate this odd couple. Also, Sata Kyouya is hot. Very hot.
Points for the hot guys -.- 

Overall Score - 8/10
