Story:
The manga consists of five one shots and an extra that deals with the first story, the manga itself was nothing praise worthy nor was it memorable it’s one of those manga’s that you read and forget about in a week. It’s a heavily over used plot so if you’re looking for something fresh and unique it would not be this manga. The manga itself is just something I would suggest you read it you really just need something to fill time because it’s not the best Yaoi nor the best romance out there, it wouldn’t even be in my top 20.
... Art:
For some strange reason that I cannot comprehend all the Uke’s looked like elementary school kids and all the Seme’s looked like high schoolers even though in most of the one shots both partners are supposed to be at least high schoolers if not college students in one or more. The art is less than average but not so bad that it’s unreadable, the art is nothing praise worthy.
Characters:
Like all manga like it the characters are all basically the same in one or more personality traits, you have the obvious pervert, the shy boy, the more delinquent character and so many more over used and underdeveloped characters which personify all cliques that go with your average Yaoi manga. The characters have no depth and they do not grow as people though their respective stories leaving much to be desired.
Overall:
Overall the story is less than average but more than unreadable, it’s not unique in any shape or form and it’s certainly not something to read if you have other options, if you’re looking for something short then this is certainly for you but if you’re looking for a well thought out Yaoi with deep or passionate characters this would fall far below your standards. The reason i’m rating this a 6/10 overall would be because nothing about it is eye catching, the story is mediocre and over used but it’s a plot that although over used is effective in giving the reader some type of miniscule enjoyment. The art is a little pedophilic but what can I say maybe the mangaka has an enjoyment for drawing like that, I am no psychic. I suggest this to people who really have nothing else to read, no other options because it’s just slightly less than average and it’s nothing exemplary or fantastic by any means.

~Story~
The story is about a girl named Yuka who grows through the trials of multiple loves, she learns minor lessons from most of those relationships and continues to try until she finds her “true love”. At first I was hesitant to read it, the description made the manga seem like a very clique love story filled with nonsense drama but it really was not. The manga consists of 15 chapters and one extra, all of which consist of Yuka and her two friends searching for love, some even falling. The plot was a bit over used but only due to the fact there ... are a lot of manga like this, the girl searches for her true love and begins to like many people along the way, trial and error.
~Art~
Was the art amazing? No, it was simply drawn, nothing fantastic or praise worthy, the characters were just cute not beautiful or stunning in any way. The boys eyes looked a little feminine and their stature was overdone a bit. The girls were just okay, they weren’t drawn in a way that was award worthy.
~Characters~
Yuka was the female lead, she was upbeat and usually had a smile on her face, she was very much the heroin that you would expect in this type of manga, very weak in some ways and stronger in others. She fell “in love” a ridiculous amount of times, no thats not true perhaps it would be better to say she thought she was in love with them until she met the one whom she truly loved. I noticed she fell in love with really foolish men who either cheated or used her as an affair, it was quite clear she had bad taste in men.
There are four boyfriends which she had in the manga, three lasted about four chapters each and the last was her true love. I noticed two of the boys looked remarkably alike, facial structure wise. The other two had some similarities but nothing blatantly obvious.
~Overall~
Overall i found the manga clique in a lot of ways which is why i couldn’t rate it higher, it really didn’t stand out from your usual romance/drama manga. Did it have some qualities that were unique? No, not really. Certainly the writer made it their own but it wasn’t so different from anything else most of us have read. It was also a tad bit repetitive and predictable, you knew what would happen the entire time and you patiently waited for it. I would personally recommend this manga to people who are looking for some light to read, nothing that makes you think. If you’re looking for something with a deep plot and lots of unpredictability you won’t find it here.

~Story~
The story is about a ten year old princess who is forced into a political marriage with a prince who happens to be an illegitimate child of the previous king. At first it’s a rough relationship, the princess is stubborn and refuses to admit her budding friendship with her new husband. There are hints at a political plot, I noticed that the politics were really not a big plot in the story, it was light, nothing overly confusing.
Was the story good? Yes, it was. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of plots very similar to this one in ... the respects that political marriage mangas are quite common. However, it took that idea, twisted it around until it became something else. Completely unique? No, it was very clique but it made up for that with the all around cuteness (Oh god I can’t believe I just used that word) but thats exactly what the manga was, cute.
The manga wasn’t deep, the romance was nonexistent (Come on...she’s ten what do you expect?) The political parts were kept light and didn’t overpower the relationship between the two protagonists.
~Art~
The art was actually pretty good, it flowed nicely, nothing was overdone to a point where it was unrealistic. The characters were drawn nicely, they were beautiful but not overly done. The scenery was alright, I personally didn’t pay too much attention to what the tree’s looked like because I was so caught up in the story. Is it the best? No absolutely not but it is good art and its certainly worth taking a look at.
~Characters~
Alexid “Alec” was the black sheep of the manga, he was hated by some because of his skills in battle, they called him a demon. Throughout the manga you could see what he had to go through because of his heritage, he is the illegitimate child to the late king. At first he gets into a lot of fights with Justinia (The princess/His wife) however his affection for her grows rather quickly as he sees her child like wonder.
Justinia was the princess forced to marry Alexid in order for the alliance between the two nations to be complete. At first she had Alexid (I’ll try not to spoil it) because he indirectly took someone from her, she however realizes that although she thought he was a monster that he is just lonely.
The king is the one character that didn’t change much, you understood more of him as it went along but he never changed as a person. At first it appears the king very much hates his brother Alexid but eventually you realize he does indeed love him but was simply trying to protect him by staying away.
There are other characters but i don’t want to spoil it so i will leave them a mystery.
~Overall~
Overall? This manga was not the best i have ever read, it was made to be light and easy to read, something that made a smile sneak onto you face, it was not make you think or to be dramatic and a big thing. It flows easily and is easy to read, nothing goes unexplained for long periods of time. The characters don’t grow a lot but this manga didn’t require them to, their feelings grew but their personalities didn’t. The plot was good, it would have been a mistake to make the manga serious and overly political, they did a good job on keeping it very innocent.
Would i advise it? Yes but not if you’re looking for something with a huge plot and a lot of heavy material, this is a light and very innocent manga. If you’re looking for something that makes you grin a bit then i suggest this wholeheartedly.

I watched the first few episodes a while back, forgot about it and came back to it at a later date. I really liked it when i first watched it but i absolutly loved it when i came back to it.
~Story~
The story is bad ass, excuse my french but thats really the only was to describe its awesomeness. It not only has Nuns with guns, Hilarious comedy, Kick ass main characters, Fight scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat but it also has a plot that doesnt overwhelm you. Actually it had multiple plots within the first season, ... if i remember correctly there are 3 main ones and smaller ones along the way.
The synopsis for this anime really didn't give you a very good idea about the show so ill do a short one that actually goes more into it without giving spoilers. So a buisness guy's ship is taken by pirates who want a disk hes carrying (All stated in the anime's synopsis) but heres what it didn't mention. He joins the pirates and leaves his good old boring perfect life behind for a dangerous one that gives him the thrill he needs.
The anime's first season is pretty much about them doing jobs for some serious cash and how the main character fits in to all of this. To make it short and sweet, they are a new age of pirates that use guns and gernades rather than muskits and swords.
~Art~
What can you say about the art for this one...Well its certainly one of the better animations i have seen. The fight scenes are pretty realistic and the characters are all well animated. I have nothing to complain about art wise, it made the anime very intresting.
~Charater~
There are a lot of side characters so i wont do a whole paragraph on each character because that would be a waste of both of our times. So ill go by gender. The male roles are all cool except the main guy who annoys at times but hes not that bad. The female roles are far more violent than the company they travel with in most cases and i adored every female role.
~Overall~
Overall i would say this anime got a 10 all around. If your not into Gore i wouldnt watch this, if you like romance stuff and only romance stuff this is not for you. However for every lover of Gore,Action,Comedy and guns this is for you. 10/10

Let me just say that the manga of this story is absolutly amazing and my favorite it Comedy/Romance and Yaoi catagories so excuse me if i mention it a few times and compair the two.
~Story~
The Ova covers the First Volumes first five chapters, and in a manga thats 7 volumes and going you can obviously see that the plot of the Ova barely scratched the surface of the true plot. However, since i cant judge it like that i will try to judge it individually. When i heard that the manga had been turned into a short Ova i was not expecting ... much for two reasons.
The first is that the manga still is not finished, making an ova/anime when the manga has yet to finish usually always ends up terrible. The second reason is because you cant fit such a huge plot in two short episodes because then it would just end up too confusing and stupid.
When i watched it i was actually suprised, not for the good reason either. Usually when i look at an anime im usually wrong about it (at least i admit it). If i think it will be bad its usually decent and if i think it will be good it makes me bored. This one i was spot on about and honestly the only thing i got out of this was an ego boost. The Ova was rushed, didnt go into the actual story line although i didnt expect it to and honestly it really did no justice to the actual story or the writter.
~Art~
The art was pretty good actually, the manga had better art but this was decent art for an ova.
~Characters~
We all know that in short Ova's usually you dont get to reach into the characters lives/pasts. You just kind of have to guess that stuff and usually i have no problem with that. However the characters are a lot deeper than the Ova made them out to be.
~Overall~
I think i probably would have rated it a lot higher if i hadnt read the manga. I guess as i said im kind of partial to this because of that. I did my best to rate it individually however its not always easy when your so dissapointed. Having said that if i look at it as itself and not as having a manga heres what i summerize.
The manga has good art, funny characters and a cute relationship between the two main characters. However based on what you see the relationship is shallow and quickly explained.
I gave the manga a 10/10 all around, however sadly for its Ova i give it a 6/10.
If you really enjoyed the Ova i stress that you read the manga, if you love the manga i stress that you watch the Ova.

~Warning~ This review will be short since it has one very short chapter.
~Story~
Or lack of would be a better way to start this one, i get thats its a one shot so as we all know One shots usually have shallow, undeniably boring plots. This one was really no different. We hear that theres a rebellion (we never find out why the people are rebelling) a vampire comes (They mention purebloods but dont go into it) The vampire drinks another guys blood and they have sex. Thats the limit to this plot because thats all that happens.
~Art~
Well you cant ... really tell how good the art is when its that short however it wasnt terrible art but i was dissapointed due to the fact that this Mangaka usually has amazing art and this one kind of let me down.
~Characters~
A pure blood vampire and a general, we dont know their names, their ages, their backrounds or even were they come from.
~Overall~
Just another One shot thats more about getting a sex scene in rather than developing a story.

~Story~
The story itself is pretty common due to the fact there are a lot of manga/anime about the princess who goes missing and is found later. However this clever romance took that basic plot and made it blossom into something unimaginably unique.
Without giving away any spoilers it goes like this. A princess is taken away from the palace at a young age for her own protection and is given to a poor family made up of doctors and library owners. When the girl is old enough, her "brother" who is actually just one of the family members who took her in ... and has no blood relation to her takes her to a man whose looking for the real princess in order to bring her back to the palace.
The princess goes through training to become more laidylike, and when she finally goes to the palace she is accused of being a fake. The story goes on from there.
Suprisingly there is more than one love intrest, of course i had my favorite but around the girl appear a spectrum of men, some army and some just commoners.
~Art~
This mangaka has never failed to make the art in her stories absolutly stunning, this was no exeption. The clothes were beautifuly designed and probably took hours to just add all the little details. Everything is realistic in the way that the men arent overly huge and the women dont have bodies that are humanly impossible to have, you know what im talking about.
~Characters~
Well the characters at first seemed amazing and they only got better, of course the main girl had her little annoying parts where you wanted to smack her but they were uncommon. All the characters were intresting to read about other than one of them, shes another girl who claims to be the princess, i was hopeing she would die the entire manga.
~Overall~
Well, since the art and story are both beautiful, so much in fact that i even teared up a bit at times i give this a 9/10. The only reason i dont give it a 10 is because there are three mager plot twists and they made them too sudden and breezed over them, also the manga seemed to drag on with a lot of unnecissary things before it got to the actual plot.

When i first came across this anime i thought it would be just another romance, and that's why i watched it because i was in the mood for romance.
~Story~
At the beginning, the anime stuck to the romance and developing the characters, if you weren't a romance fan the first ten or so episodes would seem just not action packed enough for your liking. After you meet all the suitors you actually leave the path of just a romance and head into the path of political, drama and of course action. There is still romance for the fan girls but not too ... much to where it becomes just another fairy tale. The plot was actually very unique, at first it didn't seem so but it really is a very amazing plot. Towards the beginning of the story i think everyone was just expecting a normal romance anime with cute boys, naive girls and far too much fantasy but it became a very intresting and well thought out plot. It goes something like this.
The heir to the Burnsworth company, Kajika is asked by her father to play a game in which she will have to choose a husband out of three men whom will not know her and she will not know them. Her father sets up the meetings without telling her anything about the men, only giving her the hint that she will know when she finds them. As she slowly meets the three men and learns about their pasts and possible futures she is thrown into a political nightmare. A small country in the middle east is having problems with their royal family (cant give too much away) And kajika is mixed up in it.
~Art~
The art and graphics were amazing, one of the best i have seen in anime and im not just saying that so you want to watch it, i truly loved the art. Everything was clear and drawn so well it was like you were transported into a whole new world (Aladin LoL)
~Sounds~
I don't know why but with a lot of anime they really only have three or four songs throughout the anime like for instance during mecha fight scenes you always hear the same music play, and honestly it gets repetitive and annoying. However that does not apply exactly, yes they don't have a wide variety of songs in this anime but unlike others they place them in a way that makes it so its not as repetitive and it actually doesn't annoy you which was a breath of fresh air.
~Characters~
Usually the female rolls to me seem either rude,stupid, overly dramatic or too naive but for Kajika this doesn't seem to apply. She is innocent yes but not so innocent where you just want to slap some sense into her. She is also mature for as young as she is, she acts more mature than half the twenty year olds i know and shes only fourteen. Apparently they insinuate that she had to grow up fast due to her being isolated on an island after her mother was killed during a kidnap attempt (Not a spoiler they tell you that in the first or second episode it doesn't effect the story its just background) They don't really touch on the subject of why she had to grow up fast other than that but apparently she just did which is fine.
The three (Four) Possible matches for Kajika are all very different in both looks and personality. Theres one that's cold, one that is just terribly sad and lonely, a trouble making one and of course the business like and shy one. They all also are a breath of fresh air from the usual male leads because they aren't as shallow and undeveloped. I liked them a lot for different reasons.
In the first episode and two more later on in the series you are introduced to a girl named Yuuie, shes not a main character and i don't know why im bringing her up. She is the only character that annoyed me and only for two reasons. One is because she had some serious lesbian thoughts about Kajika and that's not a bad thing but she takes it too far to when she doesn't get a letter very often she starts questioning their friendship blah blah. Its annoying honestly but you warm up to her eventually she grows on you.
All other characters are alright, they dont all need to be brought up.
~Enjoyment~
Well i have watched this series more than ten times due to the fact that the enjoyment level is very high and ill tell you why! (Ha i rhymed)
The characters weren't annoying, the graphics were amazing and obviously took some time, the sound was good because it didn't repeat itself until you wanted to just turn your sound off and the story was amazing.
~Overall/Recommend?~
Overall i think the anime is one of my favorites for the reasons stated above but also because not only was it good but it was also unique which you don't see a lot in a time where its all about sparkling vampires and werewolves or in anime's case harems and mechas.
The biggest question is do i recommend it and to who. Well i recommend this greatly to EVERY type of anime lover because it has a little bit of everything for everyone. Of course there arent any giant robots crashing buildings or anything for the mecha fans but there are quite a lot of guns it that helps. Anyways i give it 10/10

Opinion, all reviews are simply opinion and with that in mind ill continue. Most of the reviews on this anime are against it, i guess my opinion is different since i liked it, not loved it but i liked it.
Plot:
The plot is original i assure you and though its not a strong one it does satisfy the watcher. Theres not much to say on the plot, it focased more on the building of the characters than the enemy at hand but it didnt make it bad in any way.
Art: The art was good, it was clear and descriptive and ... yet still easy to watch.
Sound:
The sound was average, not bad at all.
Characters:
The main character were what the anime's episodes focased on, you may be thinking duh but what i mean is the anime made most of the episodes about their growth and development and bits of their past. The main enemies were not very main at all, although they were meant to have a place in the plot they didnt. They had maybe 3 or 4 episodes about them in general and didnt really tell us what happened to them afterwards.
Overall:
The plot was not what it was supposed to be but it was fine although i would have liked to see more about the antagonists and less of the protagonists. Overall it was a very watchable show and i would re watch it and also suggest it.

~Story~
One word: Unique! I havent seen a anime anything like this, sure theres alot of space,save the planet type animes but this one took that basic idea and came up with a amazing version. The basics may be the same but the rest was unique to this anime. The anime itself got straight to the point, within the first episode you understood a bit of what this anime was going to be like. The anime was an all around amazing achievment in a sworm of clique anime's it certainly stood out.
~Art~
I can't say this was the best are because it wasnt, it was ... amazing but sometimes the battle scenes when the two people clashed it was a little hard to make out but only once or twice so other than that it was an amazing mix of 2D and 3D!
~Sound~
The music for the anime was...not great, it was a little repetitive but the sound effects for the anime itself was spot on and if you were on a space ship getting attacked this is certainly what i imagine it would sound like.
~Character~
Now, All the characters were unique in their own way. Instead of a big macho or cool and collected main male role the male was like a new born child in the begining and you could see him grow, guess thats what happens when your stuck alone on a planet for god knows how many years and have never learned the basics. Hes refered to as a monkey alot, i loved him. The rest of the characters were a little shallow but were amazinly well developed. The only characters that annoyed me were the Princess's two brothers, i was hoping they would die the whole time.
~Enjoyment~
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G The anime was fabulous to watch and kept you on the edge of your seat the entire time. The characters were badass icons that will be remembered forever for their awesome display of the future of anime.
~Overall~
Overall i would give it a 9/10, the only reason i dont give it a 10 is because the ending didnt explain much but its the only way it could have ended. I still adored the ending though, adorably awesome. Anyway so if you love Anime of any kind i suggest you watch this anime due to its amazing graphics,unique plot, Incedible characters, beautiful art and one hell of a fan base!
