Before reading this manga, I have never had interest in wine or whatsoever. But then I stumbled on this manga on accident and I enjoy it so much. I heard that this manga was quite popular in Japan that whenever they sell wine, they say "The wine that 'Kami no Shizuku' has". Isn't that just awesome? Anyways, I'm surprise that there isn't actually a review for this so here I am, making one. One more thing, I may be bias to this manga because I am a huge fan of whenever the main character finds that he has talent of something he was never interested ... in before. And his skills keeps growing and growing as the manga proceeds.

Story: 9/10
Like what was written up there.^ The main character, Shizuku Kanzaki, is a worker in the beer company. Shizuku was never interested in wine before because of his past with them until he heard that his father was dead. His father is a famous food and wine critic. In the story he meets Tomine Issie and they are to compete each other for his father's inheritance. During his struggles, he will notice that the things that his father made him do in the past will help him in the future.

Art: 10/10
I love the art in here. It has a realistic feeling to it and find it rare to see that in some mangas. The details in here are absolutely amazing. Because of the story, the art describes of the feelings they are having. Not like the type of feeling of sadness or happiness but the feelings like when they smell or taste the wine, what they are imagining. I also like how they make the main guy look so regular and a total amateur at wine, but as something is related to wine, his looks changes to show just how serious and passion he actually has for wine.


Character: 8/10

Shizuku Kanzaki- The main character who is just a regular beer company worker. He wants to live a regular life and wants nothing with wine. Like a company dog, whenever he meets someone he automatically brings out a company card. His actions toward wine is honest and cute.

Tomine Issie- The 'Prince of Wine' and of course, quite popular with the ladies. He is a genius at wine and is supposedly Shizuku's step brother a week before Shizuku's father's death. He competes with the protagonist to gain the inheritance. He's like a typical rival, but of course, we need someone in the story who is good at wine tasting to top it up.

Shinohara- We start the manga with her. She wants to become a sommelier. She is the one who helps out the main character since he is a complete amateur when it comes to wine knowledge. She is the first one to realize his talents.


Enjoyment: 9/10
It is very easy to read and also enjoyable. If you are into rivalry, and competition things,then this story just may be for you! You don't even need to know about wine because this story will tell.


Overall: 9/10
This sums it up. Everything is great. The flaws that I have to say in here is probably because there isn't something so great to make up attach to the main characters.
