Although the story of "Steal Moon" is an original one, I really wish it could have been pulled off with more ease.

When I first found the manga, the thoughts going through my head were, "Oh, neat, street fights, peep rooms, drama..." Well, no one even mentioned the sci-fi aspect of the manga. In fact, the story revolves around something completely and totally different than what the synopsis leads you to believe! Therefore, if you think the synopsis is interesting and you might want to check it out, remember that this series is focused around sci-fi and can be a little high-tech at times.

The art ... is fine, and most of the characters are easy to distinguish from one another. I did have issues with Kai and Coyote, though. They're practically twins, and when they talk alone it gets confusing.

There's not much to say about the characters. I almost makes me think that the author(ess?) put ore focus into the story line than the characters. There's also a lot of characters, but luckily enough names and faces are easy to remember.

Overall, I'm not too sure whether I actually enjoyed this series as a whole. The romance was kind of cheesy, and there wasn't much of it. I wish the person who wrote the story put more effort into it, because then at least it'd be more enjoyable. My final impression is that I'll remember this story for its complicated plot under a shallow surface.

Story:
I have to say this was the first time I've ever read any neko yaoi/shounen-ai. It was interesting, to say the least. The story of Love Neco pulled me in so quickly, I was sort of surprised when I found out that I had reached the end of the series. A few things in the series were odd or didn't fit in, but other than that it was definitely unique and very very cute!

Art:
Love Neco was also my first taste of Mishima Kazuhiko's artwork. It's undeniably cute, and enhanced the story so much. I laughed often at the artwork in the backgrounds (pay attention!) and ... some facial expressions had me struggling to catch my breath!

Character:
Definitely one of the bests parts of Love Neko, the characters clash so much they actually fit together like the pieces of a puzzle. It was cool to see the relationships everyone shared, and how those relationships changed in the last few chapters.

Enjoyment and Overall:
This is such a cute story, and it's not that long, so you definitely shouldn't overlook it. It gave me a good laugh, so it'd probably be best for a quick read to cheer your mood a little. READ IT! >.<

Story:
When I first found the Eerie Queerie manga page, I was like, "Oh, this is SO COOL! Unfortunately, it took me a while to track it down online (head to mangafox, peoples!) so by the time I actually got to reading it the glamour of finding a cool-sounding manga to read had already worn off. None-the-less, once I sarted reading, that feeling was back in full force! I actually growled every time I was called away from the computer, I was so captivated by the story. The series itself definitely gives off a warm, comfortable aura that makes it easily memorable.

Art:
The art was pretty ... cool, actually. The characters had the best expressions, with really added to the warm fuzzy feeling I was telling you about earlier. The panels were pretty easy to follow, and there's no wasted space.I loved the little chibis at the beginning of each chapter, too! ^^

Characters:
The characters were, no doubt about it, the BEST part of Eerie Queerie! Every single character was so unique, yet you could still connect them with mannerisms and relationship ties. In fact, whenever something major happened, everyone just seemed to shake it off. It was even pretty hilarious whenever Mitsuo became possessive of Hasunuma! Sometimes it felt like my emotions were n a roller coaster, and they seemed to change every time there was a turn in the manga. (Hehe, Mikuni was definitely MY favorite character, but you have to read the series to find out why! XD)

Enjoyment:
I'm pretty sure it's obvious, but I really enjoyed this manga. I'm hoping to buy it the first chance I get, it was so good! ^^

Overall:
This is definitely a manga that shouldn't be overlooked. Very unique, and gives ya a good laugh when ya need it! ^_- Plus, it's not unbearably long, so it wouldn't even take that long to read. I finished it one day! All four volumes! (There are 4 volumes, right? *nervous laughter*) Anyway, please give it a try!

Story: Tactics is a great anime, and its plot is actually quite realistic. I boy who admires a sealed Ogre-eater and dreams of one day breaking the seal and becoming freinds with the Ogre-eater...well, it COULD happen. And at least they didn't make it so that Kantarou, the dreamer, was still TRYING to find the seal. The plot was, actually, one of the highlights if you look back on the story, and the last episode is a real shocker! I will always associate Tactics with certain episodes, and whenever I think of it a rush of slides roll through my head, and it makes me ... want to watch the entire series again!

Art: Most definitely the greatest part of Tactics! The artwork was BEYOND amazing! Kudos to artists who made the anime happen!

Sound: Most of the sounds and songs were okay, and I always run the opening song through my head whenever I'm bored because it's fun to listen to. The only thing I had against the sound was a little 5 second song they played in the middle of some of the episodes when the did the sliding thing. It got kind of annoying, and thankfully they didn't do it every episode.

Characters: Tactics surprised me with its characters, actually. You have a little bit of everybody in there, and even the usually stoic bastard can crack a smile or make a funny face. The characters were actually the reaosns for most of the times you laughed. If I had room on my favs list, I'd definitely add a good half of the Tactics cast on there. And, unlike canon couples, if you were a fanfiction author(ess) there are so many ties between each of the characters you could easily pic and choose who you wanted to be with whom. In fact, in my mind I'm trying to pair off certain people, just to see how it would all work out, and there are too many choices!

Overall: Tactics is definitely a great anime to watch if you want something that'll hook you in. Unfortunately there're only 25 episodes. Which sucks. But, aparetnly, the story is continued in the manga, which you'll definitely want to read if you get the chance! So, I'm planning on adding it to my "to buy" list.

First of all, I should say how intriguing Model is, as you are first starting to read it. At a certain con (coughOHAYOCONcough) my mom bought me the first 3 volumes, just to try it out. We had to go back the next day to get the last 4 volumes, b/c I had already finished the first 3 and still wanted more.

The story in itself is very unique. I have never read such an interesting vampire story, and with such a quirky twist here and there. The ending was a bit rushed, if there isn't a better word for it, but otherwise it left you ... with a feeling of satisfaction.

You could say the same for the art as you did for the storyline. The mangaka surely took time and thought as they planned out each page. It wasn't the best artwork ever, but the characters were drawn well, and I especially loved the covers for the volumes!

Character personalities were fine also, and I really loved each of the characters' attitudes as they started to talk more and more about touchy subjects. I have to say, if they ever make this into an anime, I would LOVE to be the voice of Jae, the main character. She's so spunky and always knows what to say, but the down-side is that she can't seem to make up her mind when it comes to picking a lover.

Model is definitely something you don't want to miss out on, at the very least. It's sure to keep you entertained and awaiting the next volume!

I think the best part of this story is the art. It's really amazing, and part of the reason I picked this book off the shelf. Compared to the actual story, the artwork is amazing. Just sitting and staring at a picture is enough entertainment.
The characters, however, are quite peculiar. Reading through the first volume was a bit tough, because this rewound and fast-forwarded until your brain felt fried. It just didn't seem to make sense, and I think because every single character is secretive and mysterious, none of the confusing bits of the story are clearied up.
As far as entertainment is concerned, the ... story is fun to read and look at, but if you are lookig for something with a complicated, twisting plot with cliffhangers and mysteries, you probably shouldn't read this. It's more of a filler for times when you have nothing better to do.
