Biotop isn't exactly the most thrilling, world-warping, amazing thing you'll ever read.

However, it certainly isn't bad. Although the low score says otherwise, Biotop really is a treat. It's like buying a small candy; you won't remember it, but you'll enjoy it in the moment.

Story-3

Biotop really doesn't have an overarching narrative. It's set up in a loose form of different jokes that are really all the story consists of. There is a small background story--however, it's really just there as a reason for the characters to be where they are

Art-6

By no stretch of the imagination does Biotop have amazing art. However, it's art is strangely fitting ... with what the manga needs, and does its job well. If anything, I'd say the simplistic nature complements the story quite well.

Character-7

Biotop does not have particularly amazing characters, nothing to deep. But what it does have is entertaining as hell. Everyone has their own small motives, and can be quite hilarious at times.

Enjoyment-8

I'll be honest, I did not expect to enjoy the read so much. I was only something I picked up out of pure boredum. So--I was pleasently surprised when I found myself thinking moments were hilarious and enjoyable.

Overall-7

I'd say that if you have some spare time, try it! If it isn't you're cup of tea after a chapter or two then that's that, you won't miss much if you drop it.

However--If you're just looking for something to quickly read and have a good chuckle without working your brain to much, I'd definetly recommend Biotop.

I started this manga on a whim, and man am I glad I did.

With stunning art, a beautiful story, enticing characters, and a simple aura of peace that has yet to be trumped, Majo No Shinzou, or Which's Heart, is a tragic, yet ultimately satisfying ride.

If you are looking for a complex plot, or heart racing action, this is not the manga for you. However, if you're looking for a calm, relaxing manga...this might just be what you've always been looking for.

Majo No Shinzou is the story of a girl, Mika who had her heart taken by her sister, quite literally. Left without a heart, ... Mika can no longer die. She wanders the land searching for her heart, on a journey to die. This is the story about her, and the people she meets, the people she leaves, and the people she travels with.

It's a relaxing journey, meeting the people Mika encounters, and finding out their story. Every mini-story is like it's own peaceful tale. But that isn't it's only attraction. The main characters are entertaining to watch, and their stories and relationships are nothing short of stunning.

That is, however, not to say that there's no real plot. The overarching narrative is never forgotten. It's mystery draws you closer every few chapters. But, I must say, some aspects about the plot are a bit confusing, and I found myself only completely understanding them upon re-read.

All in all, if you want a nice relaxing show, with a hint of mystery, drama, and tragedy, I cannot recommend Majo no Shinzou enough.
