This might as well be my top 2 favorite manga after Asahina Wakaba. I love this series. I have talked about this series as an anime and now I'll talk about it as the source material/manga.
First of all, a huge thank you to Gramedia for selling this in hardcover form, I am so insanely happy that this is one of the first manga I collected in book form from start to finish. But anyway, let's start the review.
The story/plot. I have talked about this in the anime but man, I did not see that coming. When I said I enjoy this type of storytelling
...
where we as the reader or watcher just sit and read/watch our favorite character doing their daily life as a couple, I didn't anticipate it to be so random. Let me explain, this manga series volume structure is, that there is 1 focus main story, and you have a little bit of spoiler of who becomes the main characters in that main story from the volume cover. Throughout the volume, the main story is split into segments, and between those segments, there is a little story about the other couple. It makes me feel like reading a version of the Batman Arkham Knight game where you play through the main story and the game forces you to do a side mission first before you can continue the main story. I, myself, didn't really mind but from the perspective of a reader who comes to read the main story it could make them don't like the manga. So, bear that in mind.
(Bonus segment)
This is kind of a spoiler but also not, the anime and manga actually don't match up together. You have to watch the show, including the OVA, AND read the manga. When I read the manga for the first time, omg, they skip or/and mash volumes together to create working narratives for the anime. It is actually cool to see it devolve from watching the anime to reading the manga.
Illustration. I am actually very glad that this author did a lot, like lots of fan service art and commissions for his manga. I swear this manga has more fan service than any other manga I've read. But to be fair, it's Hanako's fault. She's a cosplayer, ofc the author going to do some spicy shit to make her and others into some fan service moment, even Ko. And for that, I give my four thumbs up.
Proportions of the manga. IDK if this is the only translated manga that did this or maybe it is because this is my first time reading a translated manga book but I didn't see any author's note/translator's note in between panels. They did it on the very last page of the manga which is easier to read than between the panels. And also, I'm very glad every volume has an afterword from the author itself. It gives up that connection needed from the reader and author. Kudos to Fujita.
I don't think I need to talk about their characters. It's SOL, of course; they develop their characters in each volume. But I do want to say for the last volume, though. Omg, my man, Hirotaka, and my woman, Momose, both have developed a very strong connection in their relationship, and it is so wholesome to read. I can't believe it took 10 volumes to make them both realize that they love each other. It honestly is very sweet.
Overall I give this 9.7/10. Just behind Asahina Wakaba. I recommended this manga for everyone who love ROMSOL.

As a romance enthusiast now, I would say this is your standard start. I would recommend this manga if you are looking to start reading romance manga because it's not complicated and really enjoyable from start to finish. And if you didn't mind a bit of harem.
We start off with the story/plot. It's your typical romance, a guy meets up with a girl and this girl happens to be a gal (can anyone explain why there are suddenly so many gals in this era of anime/manga?) who is very energetic and very straight-minded, kind of a teaser too. They go through a life-changing experience and
...
end up together. But before that even happens, there are challenges along the way, two actually. One is a shut-in girl that is very relatable and very cute. The other one is a senpai that is very cute and my type, a suiting voice with short hair.
The story is mostly just Shiki and Minami doing their shenanigans together while accompanied by some friends and rivals, which are the two that I've mentioned. I am just happy that both Sayuri and Rena become friends with Shiki and Minami. They don't have a grudge against Minami and, in fact, very happy they are together.
Move on to characters. I had some problems here, mainly with the supporting characters. The first one is Minami's "best friend". I couldn't even believe that the author just put it as a plot twist, could you even believe that this girl was introduced in the very last second of the story? How the hell did the best friend of a main character get introduced in the last second of a story? That was mind-boggling to me. Not only that, she only had one purpose. I just can't! 🤣
Other than her, I also laughing at this one chapter. They also introduced the other person in the big family at the last second too, right? I don't mind that, but there is this one chapter where Minami had more than 2 tickets to go to some kind of festival, right? She had four tickets, so logically, they would invite Shiki's friend and Minami's best friend, right? But instead of her best friend, she invented her cousin. So much called for a "best" friend, right? 🤣
Sorry. I'm so sorry. I just had to, I can't with that plot of characters. But the truth is, I love them, I didn't say I hate her I just hate her purpose in the story. If only the author introduced her to the story way before the finals, I would have understood the "best" friend part a little better but for what it give me, it's just funny. Other than her, I love characters, and of course, that would mean also the two main characters. Even though their romance story feels like a drag, I still like their relationship and how it is portrayed from start to finish.
Illustration-wise and proportion of the manga. I don't have any complaints about these. I love every single bit of it, in fact, I love every second I see all of the scenes, special illustrations, facts that are always shown in the chapter cover, and characters, especially Rena. Too bad her time to shine was so short.
Overall I give this a solid 7/10. An average score for your typical harem/romance manga.

Well, I never thought I would see this kind of anime setting. It actually resembles with story that I wrote when I was in high school and I actually surprised that this is the anime that does it.
So, with that being said, let's begin with the story/plot. The concept of this anime took place in an insane twist. It's a far future but a darker time. Yes, you heard me correctly! This is not an isekai, could you even believe it? I went into this anime thinking this an isekai because of the synopsis that they put on the MAL page. But, whooo weee, couldn't
...
be more wrong. I have this kind of setting in my story too but the story went kind of differently and to see the author make this story setting is actually refreshing to see and I'm very happy too that we have the same brain cells.
Next is the OST. I'm again going to skip the OST in the anime itself and talk about the OP and ED. I love the OP song so much, though I don't really like the animation that went with it because it showed a lot of... how do I say it? Nothingness (?) Basically like the opening of Angel Next Door where there is a lot of time when the character just stares into whatever they staring at for too long. This anime OP has it too, both Leo and Echidna stare at the floor for seconds and nothing happens, and it always makes me laugh because the music is about to finish and they still staring at the floor. Other than that, I actually love the ED and they have two! Oh boy, they both have moved my heart. I love it so much.
Now let's move on to the character. I love. I mean love, love every single character in this anime. I went into this expecting comedic interaction a lot. While yes, they have those moments, but, my god, the life lesson in this anime went insanely hard. My man, Leo went through a lot and I have to say, they give this guy a very pleasant character development throughout his journey. He went miles to just understanding life's purpose, while also giving life advice to other casts in the demon queen territory. He is the real definition of "time is the wisest counselor of all", he went on a journey of life-changing road and he treasured it like a champ. Also, gives this understanding to his new comrade. I... I just love that, love it so much.
Animation. I, was once again, surprised that I hadn't heard of this anime studio. Upon seeing their page the only anime that I know is Assassins Pride, which is an anime I haven't even watched. Lol. My first impression of their animation, I love them, I don't see a lot of flaws and I feel like they can take on a bigger project. I wish them the best.
Lastly, the VA. I don't actually have lots to say about this except for Leo's VA. Man, Kensho Ono never misses, his voice in the last couple of episodes he went hard. Like really hard for Leo. I can't praise enough how depressed, sinister, and sad his voice was when he tried to be the villain. I can't praise enough, I just can't. He did it again.
Not saying others do bad tho, they are also good but not as good as Ono's.
Overall, I give this an overall 9.7/10. Definitely recommended for people who love SOL Fantasy.

Now, I know I never actually reviewed any other entry of this series but I have to talk about this because I love it but also a bit dislike it. Let me get this straight.
I am always going to love this series. I mean, heck, I put it front and center in my favorite manga section. But like any good or bad harem anime, it always comes down to this one problem—the ending.
Most people probably assume that I want all the girls to take the harem route, right? Well, that's absolutely wrong! I love this ending. Futaro and Yotsuba actually get along with their lives
...
and the other sisters too. They have their own lives to go through without thinking too much of the main duo... except for love.
See here is the problem, as long as the story goes I'm happy these honeymoon special episodes only make it like they going on the harem route, but what really happens is just them taking a vacation, but with problems. I'm gonna be honest dawg, I still hate that the father doesn't take responsibility for his daughters' problem and throws it all to Futaro. Like bitch, wth? So, what happened then? Well, as we all know Futaro technically is still their tutor so, he takes that responsibility and solves their problem, but the sisters solve them themselves in the end anyway. But see that problem? The author trying to fit Futaro into the sisters' problem. He is the center of the girls. I'm so sad that this is the route we take, I swear I thought this honeymoon OVA going to show us, who the other sisters would end up with. It's sad to see that the girls, other than Yotsuba, don't have love in their lives.
Again, I'm not shooting balls and saying this is shit, in fact, this is actually the perfect ending to the series. It just straightens up the rumor of the harem route and says no, Yotsuba and Futaro are serious about their relationship. So, with that, I give this OVA an overall 8.4/10. I wish we have 4 episodes special where the other girls get to have their own love story, I would love to watch that.

As much as I want to promote this anime because of their dedication as I said in the "pilot" episode, I might want you guys to watch this with low expectations. Trust me because you would definitely be highly disappointed.
Let's start this review with animation. I am in love it with. Not only did it feel nostalgic it also didn't use 3D, at all. It is those classic cartoons, anime, or animation TV shows back in 2011. I can't praise enough how much I love this animation quality. Again, they should be proud of their achievement, they got a new fan. Although the animation is
...
top-tier, unfortunately, it doesn't carry all aspects of the anime.
Another good thing about this anime is, the VA. I can hear their enthusiasm while playing their roles, especially, Amaryllis. Like holy sh*t girl, your screech is so good. You can't deny that Youka Hikasa is very good at acting like a crazy b*tch. I love her voice. I also like Jun's voice, these two were like screeching buddies. Other than them, I feel like they did a great job. Kudos guys.
*Edit: (Add bonus segment, after seeing Youka's carrier as VA)
Holy moly I can't believe I didn't even notice it, this woman's voice acts as Stephanie in No Game No Life, Lord Enorme in Gushing Magical Girl, and Olivier from No Guns Life. No wonder I love her voice.
The last good thing about this anime is the OST. Well, once again, we got the good ol' Suwano on the department to bring the OP and ED. Good job delivering Suwano's masterpiece to the scene, Setsuko. I love the OP and ED a lot. I don't think I should say it again many times about the OST in the anime itself. I'm giving two thumbs up for those.
Anyway, let's move on to the most important part, the plot/story. Man, I was so hyped for this but I got let down. I swear every time I feel like the thing I like gonna be good it always ends up messed up in any shape or form. I do understand why they had to rush the story, their budget is probably not really big to begin with. But man, if only they could extend this anime a bit to marinate a lot of plot points, I guarantee that this anime would be a hit. At least get this anime to hit 24 episodes in length, I can definitely see the potential. But as it is, it felt like Chain Chronicle all over again. So many characters, and so many events going on in one episode that you can't even keep up with what's going on and who is the one in the scene right at that moment. I was disappointed.
Characters. I don't even know what I can say about this section. Even Alma and Hikaru, the MCs of the story, don't even have a strong character to begin with. It's such a letdown.
Overall, I give this anime 6.7/10. It's such a letdown, man. I wish them good luck on their new project, though I can definitely see the potential in Trif. They know how to animate things well. As for now, they only have nine projects, some of them are ok, and most of them are not that good. I hope they can get that hit show to make their name in the field because their animation brings so much nostalgia to me and some of the people who watch this.

First of all, I want to express my appreciation to AniOne Asia for providing this anime for free on YouTube. Second, I want to shout out both tricot and DUSTCELL for making both the OP and ED. These songs are the best this season, no one can change my mind. But the last one, I kind of sad this is the direction of the anime went. Really, I thought this going to be just wholesome SOL but nope, the author went in a different direction and said, let's make it a romance between them.
I want to start with OST. For a very mallow OP and
...
ED, these went hard and captured me so much. I have said on my Twitter that these songs beat both DanDaDan OP and Magilumiere ED. I can't tell how much I love both of the songs. As for the ost on the anime itself... Well you already know at this point, I don't need to repeat myself too much. I do however want to talk about the OP though. I don't know when will I want to talk about it, because I haven't even talked about the Black Summoner one like I promised, so just stay tuned on my Twitter, I guess.
Next the plot/story. I love the start, but I am annoyed at the middle and hate the last. I swear man, why do all of his friends and family make it weird? The maid, Yuki, clearly wants to be normal, and his sister, her enemy, her new friend, like all of them said, "Oh, you two look good together." Like OF F*CKING COURSE, YUKI GOING TO THINK THIS IS NORMAL. When in reality, is not. The plot in the beginning sets the tone very straight, she wants to be normal and Hitoyoshi actually leads her way to becoming a normal person. It's actually very wholesome throughout the anime. Yet whenever I saw Riko in particular, I f*cking hate it. LIKE CAN WE THROW THIS GIRL TO THE OCEAN? Oh my God.
Sorry about that, let's just move on to animation. Ok, I just realized this, but I thought I had seen Felix Film animation, but clearly, I haven't. It's kind of awkward to think I've seen this studio and want to lash out some word, but I will refrain from doing so. I'm just going to point out that Grace, Yuki's enemy, felt out of place. I swear every time I see this woman, she stands out so much from the rest of the cast. I don't know what happened but it's literally just her that looks like that in my eyes. Just want to point that out, other than that, I think it's a decent animation, not super impressive or bad either. So kudos.
I'm going to talk about Yuki's and Hitoyoshi's characters only, I've expressed my hate toward the other cast in the plot/story section enough. For the majority of the anime, I actually love all of their interaction. Hitoyoshi teaches Yuki the way a normal person does things and Yuki learns all of them and actually becomes a pro. You can't deny how wholesome that was and I love that. It is so good... until Riko shows up and forces their relationship to the next level. Bare in mind, Hitoyoshi himself later in the anime is actually self-aware that they both have a far age gap and yet the side character was like, "You two should be together", like again, why? Why would you make it weird? It's already a good story portraying a young boy and his "weird but learning to be normal" maid.
I'm sorry, I banter about it again, my bad. Let's just move on to the last section, the VA. I... I actually don't have anything to say in this section, all of them do a great job. Even the annoying Riko, they all done well. So, yeah kudos and happy you all enjoy voice act in this anime.
Overall I give this 7.6/10. I would give it above 8 if Riko wasn't there. Just saying.

Before reviewing the TV series, I would like to shout out, what I call, the "pilot" episode first.
This is not gonna be long, just want to say. The dedication to this project is mindboggling. I've heard how many were waiting for this pilot to be an official episodic anime and it showed. They nailed it, they got it. That alone has to be framed to their studio. To achieve such an amazing milestone for this small project that took a lot of time is amazing to hear. Congrats to all of the people who work on this from fundraising, standalone manga, and now anime. You
...
guys should be proud of yourself.
Overall, I give this 9.4 for just dedication and the production that went into this. Now I'm going ahead to watch and the TV series, because there is a lot to talk about in that one.

Like DanDaDan, I was also hyped about this anime because I've read it before too but I was disappointed by the lack of providers. Like, come on man, it's only airing in Prime TV, how am I even watching that? Whatever, I already pirate it, thank goodness Indonesians are so dexterous, I've seen some pirate sites provide this anime for me. Sorry guys, I, myself, am a bit disappointed by my rudeness in not watching it on the official site or Prime TV. Like, what am I supposed to do, right?
Anyway, let's get on with the review, starting off with the animation. I am technically
...
not really keen on the animation, especially since the anime was animated by JC staff. You know it will be bad, but surprisingly, I feel it looks decent. And also, Moe production, whom I never heard of. Upon seeing their project seems like it was either a starting anime studio or a dispatch/branch off from JC staff. Just want to say good luck with the studio, hope you'll do great things moving forward. It's a good starting point to animate this anime and I'll be seeing you in the future project.
Now, let's move on to characters. I want to talk about this first because this is the main point of this anime. It's the most emotional writing ever, and I really love that. This first season felt like it was just an introduction to a bigger picture because Kana and her friends are going to develop into the most amazing magical girls ever after this season. and I can't wait to see that when it gets animated.
The only problem is that it just lacks Aoi Lily's appearance, that's all. I've read it ahead, and it probably not going to be on season 2 but just telling you man, my girl, Lily, doesn't get her time at all. She is the most angelic-looking magical girl and her appearance is supposed to be the cure for the world, yet she lacks appearances in the series. Sadge
The story/plot. I'm actually surprised at this. Like I said, I've read this series, and I am shocked that they have an original story to tell. I didn't see that coming at all, whether it was an extra for the end of the episode or the last episode. That just elevates the experience of watching this and I encourage you to watch it. Just please next time, give to more providers. I can't advertise this if you are lacking providers to aired anime.
OST time! I'm going, to be honest with you, I am a bit disappointed with the opening. I'm not downplaying Mafumafu here, it's just that I feel like we can have a better song for the opening than auto-tune. I swear this is the only opening that I skip this season. The ending, however, oh my goodness. It beat DanDaDan ED. (For me at least) It's so good that I always use this song whenever I go jogging. It's SAIKYO, SAIKO, SAIKYO SAAAA. Ahh, it's so good. OST in the anime itself is very good and charming. Again, as I always said for this particular OST, as long it's synchronized with the animation I always give it two thumbs up.
Last but not least, the VA. I want to shout out Hanamori Yumiri because holy sh*t, she just woke me with her acting of Hitomi. Like, WOOOOOWEEE, she nailed Hitomi's voice so well. Other than that I actually did not really expect Shigemoto to have a voice like that, I was expected a little bit higher than what Rikiya Koyama acted. Not that I was disappointed or anything, it was just not quite my liking. Other than that, I like the works of these voice actors and actresses. Good job guys.
Overall, I love this anime, but I have a feeling it's not for all. The main reason why I don't want to recommend this is because of JC staff. Other than that, I also don't recommend it because I want you guys to wait for season 2 because I felt like season 2 provided more action than this first one. So, yeah I say it's 50/50 for this one. You guys can watch if you want or wait till season 2 airs. I give this anime overall a 7.8/10.

You know, when I first finished this I was kind of disappointed with episode 12 being a cliffhanger but thank goodness it will continue around summer next year. That means we got to see Vamola and, if possible, my boi Kinta.
I'm going to start off this review with the OST. I am so amazed by the production; I'm in love with the OST. OP and ED are equally divine, though OP takes the winner here; I like it more than the ED. And then there's the remix of some classic music. Like, who doesn't love that? Kudos to all remixers, music arrangers, and all staff
...
who work in the OST and Sound department. You nailed it.
Second, Story/Plot. I already read this manga way before it got an anime adaptation. I hereby declare it is worth my money. After not only an announcement that it will be an anime but also with Muse Asia providing the anime for free for all Asia to watch, I was so F*CKING hyped. The story was just straight plain and simple. You don't really need a lot of brain cells to figure out the plot and not only that, it is so much fun to read/watch. You have to read or at least watch it.
But as fun and great as watching or reading this it is by all means, not a masterpiece because I do have a little nitpick and that will be in the animation section of my review.
I hate to say it, but as amazing as the animation went, there was also a lot that I feel they could've done better. For example, the photo technique animation. In episodes 1, 2, and 12, for example, there were scenes where there was not a lot of movement but a flash of images just thrown at you. I'm not going to lie to you, it felt cheap, especially when they said this was 2 years in the making. Don't get me wrong though, the animation was so good, especially the fight scene with Acro Silky, and Nessie/Alien. The chase scene with Tarou and Crab Spirit was also insanely good. Look I get it alright, it's just a boring walking sequence, but you could just animate it normally you know and I feel like that would be better than flashes of image.
Anyway, now let's move on to VA. Obviously, the 4 MCs take the cakes for this one, Momo, Okarun, Aira, and Jiji's VA did a fantastic job, I do love Turbo Granny VA but I'm just saying her roles were so small in this season, there were like a little to no scene of her talking except her first appearance. "But Timmy, Jiji only appeared 2 episodes in this season too. How come you praise him more than Turbo Granny?" Yeah, but he was shining brighter than Turbo Granny. The dude is literally over the top. You can feel the VA's passion for bringing Jiji's character to life. I love his VA, it's so good.
Finally, we'll talk about characters. Honestly, I don't even need to talk about this. Not only Okarun and Momo were the best ships, but they also had the best "No more than 100 episodes of misunderstanding" character award. They literally made this duo so likable from the get-go. I praised highly Yukinobu Tatsu sensei for his amazing storytelling. Even Aira, the b*tch that she is, the guy writes her well to the point she is redeemable, like honestly.
Anyway, go watch or even better, read this series. I can tell you 100% that this is worth your time and money, trust me. Oh and if you want to read this you can do so with Manga Plus, available on Android and Apple. Overall I give this season 8.4/10.

What a whacky story we got here. NGL, I'm not expecting the ending there. Well, it was somewhat predictable but I thought it would go a different direction.
Anyway tho, I'm just going to say it's a very well-paced one-shot with a very interesting story.
Idk if any other manga has this plot other than Magilumiere, but seeing more and more "magical girls is for work" settings is kind of fresh, I think. Most of the time, as far as I know, magical girls usually are middle schoolers or high schoolers. Sure it's fun to make such a high-spirited young girl do hero stuff, but like, the
...
milf tho. Can we get one of those, please? A milf magical girl would be pretty awesome.
Overall I give this one-shot solid 8/10.
