This is a review I did for this website (Yes, this is the one I go to for anime info) and thought I'd post it here since people on the website don't know me.
Katsuragi Keima, a high school boy known to everyone as 'otamegane' (Otaku which means a die-hard anime fan, in his case a die-hard gal-ge fan, and Megane which means glasses) lives in the 2D world of gal-ge. One day, he suddenly receives an email on his PFP (parody of PSP) stating that he must choose whether or not to accept a challenge. Thinking that this was just another gamer giving him a gal-ge to play, he instantly accepts the challenge. To his surprise, a demon appeared before him and told him to make girls from the real world fall in love with him. (Sorry, couldn't resist writing a synopsis)
Story (8/10)
The story was very unique and interesting. Unlike regular romances, the protagonist started having no interest in girls from the 3D world. Along his line of flags, he occasionally blushes upon more intense events showing that he has taken a slight interest to a few of the girls. However, in the later chapters, he seems to take less interest in the girls, which I find less entertaining. Also, for a harem, this one probably makes the most sense. By that, I don't mean bumping into demons would be normal. The protagonist of this Manga actually goes through many different events with every girl he has captured, unlike a lot of other Mangas in which the protagonist just sits there and have girls surrounding him for no apparent reason.
Art (9/10)
The art in this Manga is very well done. While it often alternates between simple and detailed art structures, it was used at appropriate times. For the more comedic and humorous scenes, the more simple form of art was used, and for the romantic or serious scenes, the detailed form of art was used. The art used in some cases can amplify the mood the author/artist is trying to express.
Characters (8/10)
The characters in this Manga were all very different. Some were very unique while others were a bit cliched. Characters such as Sumire (ramen girl) don't appear much in Anime or Manga; she eats so much ramen, yet she's conscious about her weight. Other characters such as Mio (daughter of company president) was a typical Ojou-sama/tsundere character, however it is later revealed that she was completely different from what others perceived of her. The simplest character in my opinion would be Elsea. Demon, lived for 300 years but looks like a high-school student, quite clueless, yet there's just something about her that makes you love her. The only character that I disliked in the Manga was Chihiro because she annoyed me with her attitude of liking too many guys, but later on I found her to be an interesting character. All the characters in this Manga were all very different and amusing to read about.
Enjoyment (10/10)
Because this is fully based on my opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed this Manga. Every chapter kept me intrigued and wanting more. The main idea of the Manga was a bit loose in later chapters but Mangas that don't gradually change overtime would eventually get boring and the readers wouldn't enjoy them as much.
Overall (9/10)
Overall, I would say that this is one of the most unique and interesting Mangas out there and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading romances/harems.

What is harem... what is gal-ge...
ReplyDeletewhy is it a PFP?
ReplyDeleteWell, as I said, this is a review for the anime site, not this blog so I didn't explain it, but a harem is basically a group of the opposite sex attracted to one person, and a gal-ge is a game with anime girls in it in which you make fall in love with you in the end.
