I seriously don't see why anyone (at least anyone with a right mindset) would come here to see a recommendation of this manga, but since no one's done a review yet, I'm gonna jump in as the stereotypical MAL user and take the unexistent pleasure of being the first one, so..., what of "Toaru Nichijou No Index San"?, it's a pretty wholesome and relaxing manga if you're a fan of the Toaru Series, I'm gonna be honest here, I'm always more interested in the slice of life/comedy/romance aspect of Toaru rather than the actual plot and action, I'm not trying to say that the story ... is boring or not well executed, it is, but the soft and fun side of Academy City strikes me far more, so if you're basically like me then I obviously recommend you this work, the artwork it's nothing special, with from little to zero detail in the background, and also keep in mind that it's considerably more moe-ish than what you see in other Toaru mangas or the anime adaptations, which to be fair, gives a more fitting atmosphere to the tone of the "story", well..., that's about it, wanna see more of Touma and Index'es struggles to bring food to the table?, wanna see more of Accelerator and Last Order's daily adorable fights?, and of course, wanna see more of Misaka's tsundere traits?, then ask no more and come here!

Since I don't think many people is gonna come here, I'll summarize extremely the experience you can get from this manga..... "No Kirino", that's it, if you're a Kuroneko/Ruri Gokou fan, who's by far the most unique and well developed character from Oreimo, and if you're also a huge shipper for her and Kyousuke, then I more than recommend this manga, I beg you to read it, especially given the 100% satisfying conclusion that will surely erase all of the frustration the original ending gave us, again... "No Kirino" (at least not much of her).

Outside that overall experience and enjoyment, the artwork is really well ... done, shoujo or especifically romance manga artists most of the time tend to illustrate the cleanest of artworks, and this is probably the best one I've seen yet, I seriously can't believe how the artist is able to perfectly establish the proportions of the characters and still make them look so cool and cute, and the art style it certainly gives you a half shoujo half shonen effect.

Some fans of Carnival Phantasm may recommend you to be familiar with all of Type Moon's Visual Novels so you can get all the references of the show, but as it happened with many like me.., as long as you've witnessed one of the routes of both "Fate/Stay Night" and "Tsukihime" then you'll be fine, and even when you're not familiar with something guess what?.., it doesn't matter since the creators clearly know how to please the mainstream audiences, as it is the case with this special, regarding more espcifically the female characters from the beginnning, who are really fun to watch, the rest of ... the special follows a little bit of a sequel to what happened after the outcome of Shirou and Shiki's "Date Plan", but mostly it presents us another version of such story in which they chose the "Main Heroine Route" and see the consequences of that choice, so.., if you loved that catastrophe of a multiple girls date in episode 12 then you are assured to love this too. P.S, I can't believe I got the chance to be the first one to write a review about this, and by the way..., could "My Anime List" seriously change the rating system given how inconsistent it is?.., since when is 4 a score you give to something "Decent".

Well, since after getting into this article I realized there were absolutely no reviews I automatically thought, "Um.., maybe I should be the first one to do so", but I then remember how annoying is to have users on the Internet using the opportunities to let out general opinions regarding a product as a whole, in this case with anime/manga/light novels (and any other otaku innuendo I forgot) I've seen many users come to this articles about specials for anime thinking "Oh, since a lot people already commented on Noragami or Naruto.., maybe I should post my review for the whole franchises in this ova, ... that way in the future tons of users will pay attention to me", that's got to stop. P.S, If you're looking for an actual review on such specials, well.., it's a goddamn collection of short stories, nothing worth noticing, except for some characters getting more screen time that you'll love if are a fan of the slice of life aspect of Fate Kaleid, and I mean slice of life because there's no way you're getting any "Alter Saber" or "Kid Gilgamesh" here, although there's Bazett though.
