First off, I understand that this is a one-shot manga that is meant to give the reader a little taste of a experimental story. But this story only mashed Alice in Wonderland, Red Riding Hood and Thumbalina together, added some blood and sparkles and called it horror.
I liked the art, since it was a true illustrative style I could enjoy. But the story...
The story was too juvenile and too easy. The ending, where the "Alice" character is standing in the wolf's remains after cutting him open and revealing herself is something any teen would imagine if they were to make a gore-based or horror twist

If you like ecchi humor, Colorful! is for you.

Family Compo isn't your typical family story!
I enjoyed this manga very much. The beginning of the manga was a bit slow and stereotypical for me, since it follows the whole "Abandoned kid gets rescued by forgotten family member" plot. As soon as it hits the later chapters, alot (and I mean ALOT) of crazy stuff happens that will make you say "WHAT?". The art reminds me of something that could be featured in Shonen Jump more than Shoujo Beat but it doesn't distract too much. Yes, the story is about crossdressing females AND males but doesn't follow the "bishounen formula" for the males (which, let's ... |
