This was a super cute and enjoyable manga. The characters were absolutely wonderful and they developed so well in the span of just 12 chapters. I wouldn't have minded if this were lengthened into a much more complex and detailed story. And even while I definitely could have continued to read much much more of this, the ending was still very well done and left me feeling pretty satisfied and It was not too heart wrenching to say goodbye to the characters and move on to my next discovery. (I often have a difficult time allowing my heart to find a new manga to love). ... Anyways, this was a super fun and interesting story that I wouldn't mind reading again!

While I tend to look for more lengthy Mangas (around 70-100 chapters) that involve long adventures and deep, complex romances, since I like to have time to really get to know the characters; I ended this lovable tale feeling just as attached to the characters and fulfilled by the romance as I do with the more drawn out stories I've read, such as Basara, Reimei no Arcana, as well as others. This manga, of course, could not be compared to the likes of Red River or Inuyasha, but for a manga that was just under 20 chapters long, it felt like so much meaningful development ... occurred, without seeming rushed or crammed in. The characters developed significantly as well, especially the main character Euda. Her adorable quirks were ridiculously endearing, and embarrassingly enough, I found myself giggling out loud at her impulsive acrobatics (Johanne is an amazing MC as well, and is similarly comedic and cute like his main squeeze!... I felt bad only mentioning Euda's greatness...). Not only was the plot expertly done, the art, in my opinion, was incredibly beautiful as well. The unique clothing was beautifully styled and detailed and the overall look of each page was detailed and interesting without being visually overwhelming. This manga left me feeling pleasant as well as satisfied where so many other manga have left me wanting more. It is a cute romance story with a bit of comedy and a plot that won't leave you stressed to the point of pulling out hair. I find myself wishing that there were more manga out there that are on the level of this one.

This was a truly touching and lovable manga. the touches of insanity that were thrown in also added a bit of excitement to the plot. The two main characters as well as Sumi's family (such adorable little children) were truly lovable and I couldn't stop rooting for them all the way through. This was one of those mangas that I had to stay up all night just to finish because I couldn't get myself to stop reading it. It's true that it starts out rough and somewhat unenjoyable but if you hang in there, it's likely that you will be pleasantly surprised. There is also ... a great twist ending that is thrown in there to make things more interesting!

This is a beautiful manga and a beautiful story! The growth of the characters and their perseverance through tragedy and hardship is inspiring and well portrayed. The characters themselves are very easy to become attached to, especially the two main characters: Yuri and Kail. The kind of love, trust, and loyalty that is apparent in their relationship is exactly what I have been looking for in any manga ever. I have gotten so tired of all the romance mangas with wishy-washy and idiotic (though good-intentioned) female leads that worry and fret and don't take any action against those attempting to sabotage their love. Or those ... who attempt to "sacrifice themselves for the greater good" rather than actually putting effort into fighting back. Female leads that make every dilemma more complicated and difficult because of their low self-esteem drive me crazy (because my own low self esteem drives me crazy) and Yuri Ishtar is a refreshing change. She is a strong female lead that anyone would appreciate and enjoy. Don't get me wrong, it is not as though she never doubts herself, it is the way she pulls through every time that is inspiring! (Sorry to ramble about Yuri so much.... I just may have fallen in love with her character). Anyways, the ending (don't worry this isn't a spoiler) of this manga was found somewhat wanting. With such great plot twists and action throughout the manga I guess I was just left wanting more. Although I guess that's just another sign of how great it was. It IS always nice to leave a little bit to the readers imagination. Other than that, the art was great, as was the story, and it was nearly impossible for me to stop reading. I read all 94 chapters in about two days (I didn't get much sleep).
So like I said: this manga was incredibly enjoyable and beautiful and I loved every minute of reading it. My only complaint was that I wanted more, more, MORE!!!!!!! (which tells you how great it was).

While this plot is entirely unrealistic and of course, cheesy. It was still a cute story with a refreshing happy ending. Sometimes I really enjoy a good cheesy romance story. Plus the main character, Shibuki, was pretty steamy even if he was only a manga character. Also, the girl, whatever her name was, was enjoyable as well. ( I pay more attention to the hot male characters). This narrative was airy and cute even with the mildly dark obstacles in the young couple's way! For anyone looking for a short easy romance without too much substance, this one is perfect for you!

While many will review this manga saying it is disgusting and twisted. The tragedy of the entire story and the feeling of having my emotions buffeted about repeatedly, made this manga memorable to say the least. This manga was so incredibly tragic after lifting my hopes up, that I couldn't stop myself from crying like a total idiot. Somehow over the course of this narrative I found myself getting attached to Kurumi and actually found myself relating to some of her pain. I gave this manga an overall ten only because of the fact that It made me cry so hard. That in itself is ... truly an art. I almost want to thank the author for helping to give me such an emotional release..... Although the reason I was so emotional when I reached the end may have had something to do with the fact that it was 5:00am by the time I finished and I had been reading through the night. Anyways, If you can't handle hard and real subject matter, then this manga is not for you! This is no fluffy romance!

This anime has some of the best characters that I have ever encountered. The humorous dynamic of the 'Saboteur siblings', nonchalance of Frederica, and the dazed antics of adorable Chaika was a perfect mixture of effortless comedy that combined to spice up an already pretty interesting plot. The twists and turns of the story were unexpected and well thought out and the portrayal of each character's personalities: old and new, big and small, was skillfully executed through every scene. I wanted this anime to continue on and on. I will most likely have to relive my enjoyment and take a look at the manga. I ... mean I've already re-watched both the original as well as this season a number of times already. Also, who wouldn't want to see a man 'sitting fully naked in a tub of boiling water, impersonating a cockatrice, while eating pasta through his nose' ?

AMAZING!!!!! This might be the best manga that I have ever read!. I am still so attached to the characters and for some reason no other anime or manga has made me so cry as hard when realizing the end was imminent. Accepting the fact that there was no more manga left to read was very hard on my fragile psyche, since I couldn't seem to get enough of it! I'm not sure exactly what it was about the storyline and characters that made me especially attached, but the author definitely put time into the development and growth of not only the main characters, but ... even some lesser characters as well. Like I've said, I really can't put my finger on what it is that makes it true, but this manga was mind blowing! Although, maybe I'm just overly emotional after having just finished it, and the fact that I read through until like 6 in the morning. Anyhow, IT's definitely worth giving a try!!!
