Faster Than a Kiss Review

I started this manga a while back as part of my manga suggestions and I quite enjoyed it.  I didn’t realize that it was close to ending when I caught up to the new chapters.  This series was an enjoyable read and the ending was quite nice.  I still found quite a few of the elements of this series disappointing, mostly the main character, Fumino Kaji.  I can reference my other reviews to remind you that I love a strong female protagonist, and Fumino just wasn’t doing it for me.  Regardless the manga was still an enjoyable read with some nice characters.   Continue reading

High School Debut Review

High School Debut

I picked up High School Debut as part of my strong heroines manga project and I wasn’t disappointed with it.  Several of the manga I have read for this project had either weaker heroines or weak writing, but this series was different.  I enjoyed every single chapter of it.  The manga was about 50 chapters, just long enough to be satisfying and just short enough to stay interesting.  I really enjoyed this manga because it was unique while still retaining the elements of shoujo manga that make me love it.  I recommend this manga to any type of shoujo reader because it has something for everyone, including humor and a wonderful love story.  Read on for details.

Hana Kimi Review

I started this manga as part of my strong heroines project and it did not disappoint.  I really ended up loving it, probably a lot more than I expected to.  The drawing style is a bit different and so I wasn’t sure if I would like the series.  Needless to say, it was very good, so good in fact that I read it in about 3 days.  I’m pretty good at marathoning manga series and this one was definitely worth it.  I would rank it closely alongside my favorites, including Skip Beat! and Ouran High School Host Club.  I recommend this manga wholeheartedly to all shoujo lovers.  Read on for my opinions.

Ouran High School Host Club Manga Review

I absolutely love this manga, and I want to review it even though it has been done for awhile.  I watched the anime first, and it was actually the first anime I watched other the Naruto when I first got into anime.  I loved it and couldn’t stop laughing out loud, and because the ending was less than satisfactory for me, I decided to read the manga.  Needless to say, I was wonderfully satisfied with the ending of the manga and enjoyed reading every single chapter.  The comedy and drama are superior and it is generally good storytelling which I think makes it an appealing read to all readers, whether they like primarily shoujo or shonen manga.

MeruPuri Review

MeruPuri was a manga that I accidentally discovered in my local used book store when I was just looking around.  The premised seems a bit ridiculous, but it had just the right formula to be interesting and keep me reading.  It wasn’t until later that I realized that this manga shared an artist with another manga I really like, Vampire Knight.  The manga was overall very enjoyable to read while it lasted, as it is only about 25 chapters.

Special A Review

I am very excited to review this manga, because of all of the suggestions of manga I received this was by far my favorite.  It is a classic strong female character manga and I enjoyed every minute that I was reading it.  It definitely makes its way to the top of my favorites, close after Skip Beat and Ouran High School Host Club.

Kyou Koi Wo Hajimemasu Review

I decided to review this manga even though it is ongoing.  I was recently recommended this manga for my “strong heroine” manga project  and caught up on all the chapters last week.  Honestly I have to say that I was fairly disappointed in this manga.  Not necessarily because it is a bad manga for readers in general, but it hardly fit my project requirements due the fairly lame main female.
