Manga Review: Flowernoid no Shuufukushi


Name: The Repair of Flowernoid
Author & Artist: Sakura Roku
Status: Completed
Chapters: 3
Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, Shounen
Plot:
From AQUA Scans: "Flowernoid", dolls created with the special nature of flowers, and who devotes themselves to a master. This is the story of Satsuki, a master flowernoid repair specialist whose daily life changes by happening upon a lovely flowernoid. "From now on, I belong to you" the flowernoid claims.
Review:
The interesting story was what first caught my eye, I'm not a a big fan of the fantasy genre because the plot can get messy but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
I know it is classified as shounen but honestly I feel that it is aimed at a female audience. Although the problem with this manga is it has so much potential and so much other things it can build on but I guess the author and editor chose not to. It has references to the tragic pasts of the two leads, which I think they should consider delving deeper into it and revealing and resolving those issues.
All in all, a great short read that will make you want more. I shall definitely be keeping an eye on this mangaka.

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

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.
