Manga Review: Akuma De Koibito Part 3

Name: Akuma De Koibito
Author & Artist: Nakamura Yukichi
Status: Completed
Chapters: 5
Genres: Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo

Plot: 
Story 3: Because, It's Love
Jun has always had a mature and cold face, but she gets easily scared and cries when she's alone. The seniors are graduating and they don't have to go to school until their graduation. While Jun is cleaning the mops, a guy next to her accidentally splashes water all over himself. She hands him her handkerchief. This handkerchief is very important to her because a guy gave it to her while she was crying but she never saw his face. Before she knows it, the guy's friends drag him away with the handkerchief.

Review:
 Again this story is mediocre and it's cute but nothing particularly great. The female lead fit into the cliche of a tsundere who is really shy and emotional at heart. The main guy is just your happy-go-lucky type of guy who is older then he looks. Recommended read if you're looking for a cute romance.

Plot: 
Story 2: That's the Rabbit's Forest
Madoka is a hardworker! One day her friend asks her to fill in for her as a house-keeper due to illness and Madoka gladly accepts. When she arrives at the apartment of the Art-College student who she's suppose to clean for she finds a scary shadow-like figure in a war-zone of trash. On top of that he yells and threatens to strip her and use her as a nude model. What mess has she gotten herself in!? And whats this? A rabbit-fetish?

Review:
Out of the whole book, this is the cutest story. It's pretty funny how the story unfolds and it's a nice romance. The female lead is likable and not annoying and the male lead has a cute personality. Overall if you want to read something cute you should read this.

Manga Review: Akuma De Koibito Part 1

Name: Akuma De Koibito
Author & Artist: Nakamura Yukichi
Status: Completed
Chapters: 5
Genres: Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo

Plot:
Story 1: Devil and Boyfriend
Ever since she was young, Rinko has always been labelled as a 'Ohito yoshi baka' by everyone except for a young boy, Itsuki. Since then, Rinko has always had strong feelings for Itsuki, but will he ever be like that angel-like person she meet as a child or stay as the Akuma she has now gotten used to?

Review:
The first story spans for 3 chapters and the girl is a typical shoujo manga girl who likes the popular guy etc. The two leads fit into the manga stereotype. She's not annoying thought and she's likable. The story is kind of cute; it's pretty mediocre though. It's nothing exceptional but it's a good read if you're bored and have nothing else to do.

Manga Review: Ludwig Revolution

Name: Ludwig Revolution
Author & Artist: Yuki Kaori
Status: Completed
Chapters: 16
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Shoujo

Plot: Prince Ludwig isn't your conventional prince charming. He appears to be an unbelievably attractive though in truth, necrophilic(erotic attraction to or sexual contact with corpses) narcissist prince who has a fetish for big breasted women. However his father the King became very displeased with his unusual hobbies and sets him off on a journey to find a bride. So together with his constantly abused manservant Wilhelm, who is in truth his closest person, he sets off on a journey which leads to encounters with infamous fairytale princesses. An even more twisted interpretation of the already twisted original fairy tales from the Grimm Brothers!

Review:
So this story is basically a series of twisted fairy tales from the stories we all know and love (such as Snow White and Cinderella). It's definitely not your cute, average shoujo (if you are familiar with Yuki Kaori's works). The horror element is just the depiction of death and mild gore.

What makes this manga unique is that the story follows a main, male character. The mangaka ingeniously puts a twist to the classic princesses into vain, dark versions. Of course there are some really good characters that aren't totally evil (like Sleeping Beauty).

I find that the characters have a lot of depth and many seem to be three dimensional, which makes the story interesting. Lui (Ludwig), despite being perverted and arrogant, sees easily through the other characters' personality and intentions. Each chapter delivers an unexpected twist that will keep you intrigued. The story, however, does get a bit depressing because nearly every princess dies at the end of the chapter.

Aside from that, it's highly recommended for people who love Yuki sensei's work, solving mysteries, fairy tales and atypical female characters.

Manga Review: Othello (Shoujo)

Name: Othello
Author & Artist: Ikezawa Satomi
Status: Completed
Chapters: 28
Genres: Comedy, Psychological, Romance, School Life, Shoujo

Plot: Yaya’s high school friends haven’t been very nice.
They call her “Yaya the cry-ya! Yaya the misfi-ya!”
But no matter how badly they act, Yaya is just too naïve and trusting to believe the worst of her friends.

Hard-rocking, butt-kicking Nana is just the girl tograb hold of Yaya’s timid demeanor and turn it upside down. Nana exposes Yaya’s “friends” as slime bags, doles out punishment, and does it all with style.
Can there be anything that terminally shy Yaya and hyper-confident Nana have in common? Well, for one thing, they’re the same person. - Manga Updates

Review: 
Yaya is basically your average shoujo heroine who is pretty much a crybaby (with a split personality). Although she does have an excuse for being one due to her childhood. If you can get passed her crybaby antics she does grow as a character.

Nana on the other hand is outrageously confident and a bit cruel but definitely funny. Although one of her biggest flaws is that she can get slightly annoying and her character lacks realism (much like Yaya) but it's just a manga.

Moriyama is the male lead who tries to help Yaya and figure out why her personality changes.
He gives Yaya more emotional support rather then going up and standing up for her when the situation calls for it...

The story seems to drag out a fair bit but it's definitely worth the read.
