I always find it creative when mangakas find their different ways of tying a lot of different people in together in realistic ways, well of course it wasn't all that realistic, but you still find yourself amazed when you begin to peace everything together as you go along. This review is only for like the first 15 chapters that are there so far and I can't even explain how hard it is to judge it off of that, but I'll give it a try.

Story 8
I give the story a 8 because it hasn't all been released for me to really piece everything together, but ... even without the pieces everything is so well put together that you can still rate it high. I don't read much seinen so I can't really tell you how unique it is, but I think the story definitely has the ability to draw you in. The main character that it follows is a neet named Shintarou who's been shacked up in the house for two whole years. He has a relatively bad attitude and he's a weakling who still has a backbone. So far the reason why he has isn't in the manga, but if you look up the songs that the stories based off of you'll definitely know, but I won't spoil it ^_^. Somewhere between the two years he stays in the house a girl named Ene invades his computer and terrorizes him and ends up making him have to go outside and from there the story begins on a humorous path and a very confusing one. To my knowledge the group that forms between the main character all have an eye ability and it hasn't yet clearly been shown why.

characters 8
I actually like the characters with Kano being one of the most interesting to me. His ability makes it hard to understand his true nature, but overall he's the humor of the manga. You'll definitely find that a lot of character have pasts that aren't so favorable and heart warming, but it reflects on who they are and how they deal with situations. I can't really judge the dimension of the characters cause the whole having special abilities thing throws off any realism it can have in my head, but I think that they've got depth and that's well done.

art 8
I like the art and it fits the story it's telling very well, but I actually think I'd might like it better in the anime because the only thing I don't like is all the black haired people kinda look the same with the exception of Shintarou since he has dark outlines around his eyes. I like how their clothes are designed especially Kido's jacket so I think that's especially something good about it. There really isn't much shadin or any realistic characteristics or detail out into their faces, but I don't think it'd match the story well if they did.

Enjoyment 9
I really have fun reading it and I love when a story can make me laugh literally out loud and I think it's something that any audience would be able to enjoy, but everyone is different and has their different outlooks on enjoyment and humor and such so how much you enjoy it really depends on you and what you like.

Overall 8
and I must remind you this is only like the first fifteen chapters but I found it necessary for it to have a reasonable review that actually gives you the story properly and after a while if I change my mind about how I feel, I'll come back and change it, but so far I give it a 8.5 for awesomeness and I really suggest you look up the songs because the songs just make it ten times better for me. If you can't find any try Jin or IA transparent answer and it is sung by a vocaloid just a heads up.

I'm not going in great detail on all of this, but I'll give you the basics and the feel of the story so don't expect much.
When I first started reading Sugar Soldier I found it really refreshing although the plot is nothing unique and neither is its characters or its plot. I found the male lead refreshing, but only for like the first few chapters and I'll do my best not to spoil anything so if slight hints bother you then don't bother reading for your own good.
Our main character Makoto has always been overshadowed by her older sister to the point where its ... ridiculous cause they look just alike aside from their hair.. anyways this year she's made the decision to try her best to become more cute so she can stand on her own two feet without being compared to her sister and the male lead decided to support her, she falls for him, and you can guess how that works out.
I particularly like the male lead in the beginning because he was really refreshing and wasn't the usual dark past angry type, tsundere, slightly perverted, or any of our cliche male leads. He was just a really nice well rounded and good looking person, but that was only for a little while, but trust me he irritated me, but he's still a good person in the end. For the main character she's your usual try my best, clumsy, no common sense, I'll make him like me, kind hearted heroine... yeahs she's not very three dimensional you could say, but her extreme insecurity is a new.
The art is your usual well done, cute, shoujo art. it's not unique at all, but I think you still find yourself liking it.
I enjoyed reading it and as I always say the enjoyment of a manga depends on its reader cause if you handed this to a wrestler and asked him how much he enjoyed it the book would probably get thrown back at you... unless he's a secret otaku!!! O.o lol but no it works the same way with me if you handed me a horror manga I'd burn it and give it a negative 500 so yeah enjoyment depends on who's reading.
Overall I give it aaaaa 7.5 optimism, try it, it helps you to enjoy things better, but overall I must say this isn't at all a realistic manga with a hard to guess interesting plot it's your typical shoujo but typicals can be enjoyable as well.

Ok so this is a review so there's gonna be some good and bad and its one of my first so.. you know go easy on me plus this is only based off the first two chapters which says a lot as a whole
well Im mostly summarizing since I noticed there aren't any reviews and I usually hate when there aren't any because I want to hear how the story is from another viewpoint before I waste my time with something I don't really like so Im not going into great detail.

So the story is and isn't a cliche and I'll explain why. Our mc ... (main character) in the very beginning was over weight and not all that attractive although she still had a lot of guy friends, but miraculously she sheds all her weight within one week of depression over one of her favorite characters dying in a manga that she loves (oh and did I forget to mention she's an otaku). The whole becoming more beautiful thing isn't at all unique in its aspect, but the fact that she did it in one week is and along with being different its really unrealistic so if you're looking into a nonshoujo characteristic manga you're at loss. Anyways so of course as expected every male that had been presented previously falls for her new beautiful look and there was really only one who feels the same whether Shes fat or skinny, so undoubtedly its who pull want to root for. So that's the beginning of the harem aspect and superficial aspect as well which is something that I do not enjoy whatsoever because all the guys but one only liked her after she became beautiful and it really makes you hope for some odd twist where she gains weight again just to see what happens.
Anyways the art is really beautiful and I think it's what I like the most out of it all. It's used often I must say but I still really like it and I think it fits its story well.
The characters are nothing special but your usual cliche characters to be honest with no three dimensional aspects. The main character is your usual dense, hard working, common senseless, kind hearted otaku with no real depth while the males are trundere, normal, nonchalant, etc characters and one word is really all you need to explain them and there's three characters in itself that I just named.
I think the enjoyment is based on the reader to be honest so I don't have much to say. It passed time for me and that's good enough.
overall I give it a 7 or a 6.5 for you pessimistic ones. It's something that passes your time and if you keep a good outlook you'll enjoy yourself and hopefully the story will get more interesting from here on.
