Writing this review to try to save as much people from watching this piece of garbage!! I'll try to keep it short.
Main adjectives to describe this anime: SHALLOW, MEDIOCRE, LAME, WEAK, CONFUSING.
The story basically has no strong foundation to hold it. It has this main plot/premise but has major problems executing it to its potential. When you read synopsis (wont write it since it's in the main page already), sounds interesting enough. But as you watch the episodes, the pacing is way to off (some episodes are slow and some, too fast) and lacks a straightforward direction. The ending was extremely rush that
...
it left the viewers with more questions than explanations. There was absolutely no resolution. Additionally, the reason why the characters are acting this certain way is pathetically, annoyingly shallow.
Art is mediocre!! The art of the characters look like a ripoff from different animes. There's no distinct attribute that make them look unique and exclusively from this anime.
Characters are lame and lacks development.. A typical, weak, martyr "hero" who risks his life to saves a girl and decides to follow her to a magical world along with his friends, to run away from his problems in the real world.. my definition for this type of character, an idiotic coward. A fake girlfriend/childhood friend=powerless, tsundere damsel in distress. A delinquent looking friend with a sister complex. The magical, gun-wielding heroine with a brother complex, who later is reduced to a supporting character (she loses significance later on. She might as well be invisible). And lastly, the jealous younger brother who perceives that an honest to goodness street accident was an attempted murder by his "hero brother", going to great extent to get his revenge also because the brother "stole" everything from him. SO SHALLOW and DUMB!! BTW, their powers are ordinary and lack originality, to the point that the concept is dumb.
Overall: dreadful, boring, weak, mediocre, confusing. STAY AWAY FROM THIS!! Pile of crap and a waste of time!

If I were to make a review based on the art, I'd say IT IS VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL, 10/10! However, art isn't the only category that makes a movie great or a flop. What pulled this movie down was the story/plot.
Story (3):
One world to describe the story: Confusing! The story was just all around the place. A new plot was brought up even though the previous one has been left unsolved. The first half was fine since it was still introducing the characters & the plot was still developing (exposition), and the tension and issues were building up(rising action). However, when the second
...
half started, it's just hard to follow or keep up. The climax, falling action and resolution was like "WTF is happening" or "huh, what just happened"?
Art (10):
As aforementioned, this movie displays beautiful imagery that is relaxing and pleasing to the eyes. The colors were vivid, the scenes or background creative and breathtaking. The art in this movie is what allures us, viewers, to watch this film.
Sound (9):
Like the art, the soundtrack was relaxing and soothing to the ears.
Characters (5):
Characters were a tad dull and lacks development. Only a couple of the main characters showed progression. I felt that the remaining characters remained "almost" the same as the beginning of the film. The minor characters on the other hand, are not even worth mentioning. The plot didn't resolve any of the issues of the minor characters, basically, leaving them idle and unsettled.
Enjoyment (6):
I really enjoyed the art and soundtrack. In terms of storyline, I only enjoyed the romance and the comedy that was depicted. Aside from that, I wasn't please by the confusion the plot brought - the fact that there were a numerous loopholes and unsolved issues.
With this, my overall would be a 6. The art/sound really compensated for everything else it lacked to be a great film. I was immensely disappointed in this film. Keep your expectations rather low and you'll probably enjoy the film.

If you have a high tolerance for frustration and annoyance, then you can maybe handle this anime. If not, I wouldn't suggest this one.
Story: 4/10
There was nothing special about this show except the fact that the female lead, Momo, is tanned which actually didn’t influence or affect the main story. Additionally, she has a so-called “friend-enemy” or “frenemy” who is exerting so much effort to ruining Momo’s romantic and social life for a petty reason. For a rom-com, drama (which, BTW I really do enjoy), the story was quite shallow and dull. All you’ll see in 25 episodes is Momo repeatedly and indecisively shifting from
...
one love interest to another in her love-triangle.
Art: 6/10
The art wasn’t bad nor spectacular. The only art feature that distracted me throughout the series was the lips though. I wasn’t used to the upper lip being evident that it somewhat sidetracked me from the general appearance. Aside from the lips, everything else was acceptable. I enjoyed the flat, 2D art effect they gave Sae when she’s depressed or out of her normal self.
Sound: 4/10
The sound didn’t enthrall me. After watching the whole anime, not one soundtrack stuck to my head despite it's repetitiveness. But in terms of voice actors, they really complement the characters appearance and emotions.
Characters: 3/10
I found the characters very annoying, lacking qualities an average person has. During my duration of watching the anime, the characters just kept on triggering my temper and irritability to boil. The protagonists (Momo, Kairi, Toji) appear to lack common sense and are all indecisive. Instead of doing the logical and rational solution, they just exacerbate the issue by doing what they “feel” is right but actually is the opposite, which gets on my nerves. The antagonists (Sae and Kairi’s older brother) on the other hand, are conniving, manipulative, yet very clever and sly. These antagonists make me so pissed at not only them, but also the protagonists for easily giving in to their deceits and lies. In my perspective, Kairi was the only acceptable character due to his cheerful and happy-go-lucky attribute, but eventually shifts in the latter part. The characters are basically the main reason why I got immensely frustrated with this series.
Enjoyment: 5/10
Although I was exceedingly frustrated while watching the series, it had this mysterious appeal that made me want to continue watching it, in high hopes the characters would develop better and and the story would improve. In spite of that appeal, it was still dragging, making me fast-forward the useless scenes.
Overall: 4/10
I gave this a 4/10 because it just wasn't appreciating; however, it did make me laugh in some portions of the scenes. Overall, I was disappointed in this one. If this was a movie and I had to pay for it in the cinema, I’d want my money back and wished I had watched something better.
YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!

If you're looking for an anime to kill some time, I guess this is something to watch. However, if you're looking for an anime that you would want to really enjoy watching, then perhaps you would want to think it over. Additionally, if you have a long list of anime to watch, this would probably be a low priority. Basically, this anime deals with fairies and their assistance to a poverty driven village.
While watching the first two episodes, I noticed that the story is very slow paced and quite boring. The story wasn't too compelling. The humor is probably targeting the younger audience. I
...
feel like its trying too hard to be uniquely funny. The plus side of this anime is the art is attractive - the primary reason why I started watching this; and I found the characters to be quite unique and somewhat with a twist.
Maybe if I give it a chance and continue watching, my rating would possibly increase. I think I could be watching something better with my time than watching this, hence I would have to drop this.
Note: my thoughts were all based from watching the first two episodes, so I apologize for my rash yet straightforward opinion towards this anime.

I've currently been on a Mizuki Kawashita reading marathon. After reading Ichigo 100%, I've decided to read all of her other manga. Compared to her other works, I'd say this is so-so. However, it still is enjoyable and entertaining to read.
Story - 7/10 and enjoyment - 7/10
The story isn't that great, but it sure is interesting. 2 classmates (Doujima Kenji and Takamine Karen), ditched by their other clubmates , out solving the village's past secrecy and accidentally discovering Kenji's heritage. The reason why I kept on reading through the pages was because I was curious of what the mystery was - what happened
...
to the ghost. The ending could have been better though. I felt like it was a bit lacking and rushed.
Art- 10/10
I always enjoy the art of Mizuki Kawashita. It's easy to follow through while reading.
Characters -7/10
The characters are satisfactory. They are not that unique, but you'll tend to enjoy them as you read.
Overall- 7/10
I didn't waste my time reading this since I did enjoy the short manga (one shot). The one shot was good and entertaining.

Alright, this is my very first review. Truthfully speaking, l never thought I'd enjoy this manga. This was on my list for 2 years or more. Finally, I was able to watch the anime first, then continued with the manga coz I was curious what would happened and hooked. I seriously should have read this earlier.
Story (10):
The story is a harem, comedy, romanced, school based-type manga. At first, I thought the story would be predictable and dragging because of the length of the manga, but I was totally wrong. The author wrote the story unexpected ways. I thought the story would revolve around the main
...
character (Manaka) searching for the girl wearing strawberry panties to be revealed in the end. This was not the case, they introduced the girl in strawberry panties early in the chapter. The story also made my heart waver whenever Manaka hangs out with one of the four girls and is seen by the other, hurting her. The four protagonists all have different effects to the main character which gives him different feelings. Toujou is a person who can Manaka can share his dreams and goals with. Nishino makes Manaka's heart at ease at all times. Satsuki is the buddy who he can talk to about anything and makes him feel himself. Yui is the younger sister-like character who watches over and scolds him when he is running towards the wrong path. The story made me laugh, gave me teary eyes, and a lot of mixed emotions.
Art (9):
The art is pretty old school since it's was made early in 2000s. The art doesn't affect the over-all of the manga because what is most important is the story itself. As long as the readers could see and understand what is going on, then its alright. The art still thoroughly expressed the characters feelings and emotions.
Characters (10):
The characters are unique and interesting. The gang consists of different characters, all with interesting attitudes. Manaka portrays a kindhearted boy, slightly perverted though who tends to be indecisive when it comes to girls and love. The gorgeous female protagonists vary from a shy, timid girl (Toujou), athletic, aggressive, hot chick, buddy (Satsuki), popular, heartthrob, ladylike, caring, talented in cooking girl (Nishinio), and the young sister-like, childhood friend (Yui). The supporting characters are also what makes the gang complete - a funny looking, joker friend (Komiyama), the high school friend who gives love advice yet is perverted (Hiroshi), the co-director who gets pissed at Manaka's indecisiveness, the loli, gold-digger friend (Chinami), and the Manaka's rival (Amachi).
Overall (10):
I truly enjoyed this manga. This is the exact type of genre I enjoy watching, in this case, reading. I finished this manga in less than a week. Additionally, this is my second manga I have completed.
Anime vs Manga:
I actually started reading the manga where the anime stopped (chapter 66) and I could see a huge difference. I preferred the manga way more than the anime because it provided the audience with complete details. When I started the manga, I noticed that the anime didn't tackle on a lot of important stuffs and didn't introduce other characters (like Amachi).
I recommend this if you are interested in harem, comedy, romance and school-based stories.
