how can I say, this is a true masterpiece, the game was already great, the manga improved a story that was already good, the characters are charismatic, the story is incredible, the art is impeccable and I could mention many other things that exist in this manga, I still wait patiently for the arc of the sea of ​​death to be translated, maybe not but I will keep waiting, another thing I hope is that Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea will be adapted for an anime, I would love to see that, but so, about the bad points, I say, there are none, the ... manga is perfect, there is no mistake in it that makes it horrible

.... So i don't really have very much to say about this. It was not one of those books that I read and cat finish. I wouldn't have even bothered to write a review if it was, but this manga....
.... I get that it is based off a game, but there was just no connecting with the characters for me, which is a big part of the reading experience that i enjoy. And I know that its isn't that way for everyone. The art is so lovely and all the characters look very different from one another. The way that the expressions are done by ... the artist is amazing and i will say that i will try out more buy this artist to see if it was just one of those stories i didn't like out of the may i would that they created. And the ending is cute and made me happy that i did finish it.

This is a nice treat for fans of the game, but not much more than that.

As someone who has played over a hundred RPG Maker games, I've always thought that Deep Sea Prisoner's games ranked at least in the top 10 tier. And that Wadanohara was his best one. But I feel like the strength of it, aside from its gorgeous art, was its ambiance. The story itself was alright in terms of a game needing a story, and it's a pretty cute one, but I definitely don't feel like this game was made to tell that story; quite the opposite.

That's why the manga doesn't ... shine very brightly in my opinion. The ambiance can get across way better in the game, where you can wander around the maps and listen to the (GREAT) OST. Even the art has bonus points in-game because it's all colored, and the playtrough is way longer (~ 8 hours) than this manga which can be read in 40 minutes. Plus, a lot of the darker story elements have been skipped over, and a lot of dialogue in general, so it feels quite frantic compared to the game that had me quite relaxed.

So if you're planning on reading this without ever having played the game, I think you're doing yourself a disservice. But do you, it still gives a taste.

And if you're a long-term fan, it's nice eye candy.
I've personally wondered for the longest time how it would be if Deep-Sea Prisoner drew manga. So there's my answer, I guess. I'll still be looking forward to whatever he does next.
