The life of the gods is eternal and in the immense eternity of their existence they have to make time to not get bored. What activities do they do to not get bored? What are the thoughts and worries that keep them busy? Is there anything that makes sense?

The first thing that strikes me about the manga is its art, I admit that I started reading it thinking "What a pretty girl" and then I exclaimed "Ahh! it's a boy" hahaha. Really the manga has very nice designs, at the beginning it is hard to differentiate the characters, however, you will recognize them all ... without problems.

As for the story, I consider that this manga does not intend to tell a story, but to capture certain concepts and issues. When reading the first chapters you will be very confused and you will wonder what is going on? Where is this going? and in fact the story does not follow a course, the characters interact with each other, raising doubts and without reaching any answer, there you will have, as a reader, to look for the answers. On the other hand, there is no character development, maybe only Apollo, I think he is carried in a good way and opens good questions, however, his disinterested attitude can become tiring to the viewer.

In conclusion, I recommend reading this manga, because although it has no great pretensions, thanks to its short length and its beautiful illustrations it manages to be interesting and entertaining, if it had been longer, I would not recommend it.

This anime does everything right, it can be translated as "How difficult are interpersonal relationships", "Why can't I be able to correctly show the way I feel to my family and friends?" "Why do I have to be the way I am?" "What I choose in life now will haunt me all my life?", "The things I do, is it for me or for others to see me?" and many other questions.

I understand that many who are used to the modern style of anime art may not find the artistic approach offered by Gokinjo Monogatari appealing, however, if you give it a chance I am ... sure, you will not only get used to it, but embrace the artistic style. And this story has to be told through the catalog of expressions that this style of drawing achieves for its characters. It is wonderful how slight movements in the faces of the characters denote so much of their personality and the emotions they are feeling.

As for the music, Gokinjo Monogatari has such a characteristic OST, it's one of those OSTs that don't go unnoticed and stay engraved in your memory. Its opening song may be puzzling to many, but it completely describes the vibes of its protagonist and if you like the series, you will be infected by its vibes and therefore share the feelings of the protagonist in its opening.

And without a doubt, what makes this series stand out the most is its story. In my opinion, this is the best Slice of life about teenage life I have ever seen. It deals with emotions in a forceful and at the same time subtle and realistic way, as I said before, it helps a lot with the tools provided by its artistic style to make it clear what each character feels with slight changes in their faces. This anime touches too many teenage themes in such a funny way but at the same time so easy to identify with them. More than anything portrays how complicated interpersonal relationships are, many of the problems between characters are only due to poor communication, so we see how they deal with jealousy, feelings of inferiority, vocation problems and the feeling of being derailed in life, unrequited love, contempt for oneself, feelings of misunderstanding, loneliness and many personal fears that I could not explain in words, because it is not an explanatory anime, but rather demonstrative.

And that is, if you were ever a teenager, this anime will remind you of that time and the immensity of emotions, worries, desires and aspirations that we feel in our youth.

This show promises you pretty women. You watch this show looking for pretty women and the show offers you pretty women.

If you like the 90's style of animation and its designs, as well as explosions and women fighting in miniskirts, this show is for you. If you are only interested in the plot, don't even think about watching it. The characters have very basic motivations or are never explained, however, There are some concepts that had potential, such as the new world formed after the crisis, the work of "antiquities rescuer" but this is hardly explored at all. Beyond that, it delivers nothing but ecchi ... and half-naked women's fights.

This manga has both positive and negative points. In comedy, I think it's doing very well, I would even say that it's high quality except because there is the recurrent joke of peeping in the dressing rooms, the first time, this joke is funny, but the fifth time...

Regarding the romantic aspect, I think that the relationship between the main characters was fun to watch, but the ending could have been better, this also applies to the secondary characters, some of the love plots were constructed in a way that ends up being disappointing.

In terms of plot, it was interesting at first, the handling ... of the mystery was done correctly, also slowly revealing more information about the world and the sphere, but it gradually lost its way, this could be because of the peeping jokes chapters that interrupted the rhythm of the plot.
Overall 6/10
