Mixed Feelings

"Heroins Game" is about the princess of well-known fairytales fighting in a survival game and an idol. While the premise is really promising and a really nice first volumes, after a while reading it, it lost all of its monomentum anf felt like a whole mess. Story 2/10: The Story was really strong at the beginning and felt like a strong 8 out of 10. But then the second and third volume appeared and I just didn't know what the heck was going on. It could have been such a good manga. I would recommend this one just so you can see for yourself how to destroya great story. Art 8,5/10: The Art was really good (what a waste). With some really nice drawn panels and some astonishing illustrations. Just take a rendom panel and add to your wall they look beautifuk. Character 7/10: The Characters or better said the the princess are actually pretty well done - one in particular. What makes it even more a bummer that they all went to waste. Nice character arcs and everything you looking for. Enjoyment 3/10: The Enjoyment was meh. Had some good plot poins (the only reason I didn't gave it a 3), with some nice characters, Just the story line fell off hardly. Go check it up yourself if you are sucker for fairytales. But be prepared for what comes. Overall 4/10

Synopsis

Her name is Alice. One day, she wandered into a crazy tea party. Alice, the leader of a popular idol group, found herself in an unknown forest. Little Red Riding Hood, Thumbelina, Snow White... The heroines of fairy tales appear one after another. What's different from the fairy tales is that their forms are disfigured. The heroines, who have met an "unfortunate end," are said to be killing each other in a "Heroine's Game" to change their fate. So begins a beautiful yet cruel fairy tale heroine battle royale.

It is a fun and entertaining story, it knows its themes and does a good job handling them. I think they did a good job developing the characters the story wanted you to know and each of them interacts with the themes of the story. Although others didn't get as much time and ended up being tools to move the story forward. Still, I think you will enjoy so give it a try if you have time. The story touches on the topic of regret and desires, it does a great jobs showing both things and how they often go together. I understand why it doesn'tmake sense for some people, but I don't think that is a bad thing. The nonsense in it makes you see it in a different way and as a representation of something, rather than a literal story about princesses fighting each other. The story does something I really enjoy, which is touching an overused topic and changing enough to make it feel new. Princesses of fairy tails are not new and this isn't the first story to use these characters. However, it finds a way to make them feel unique by changing their story or the way they themselves view their own story. Same with the topic of idols and the desire to be the best, it isn't new but the story manages to make it feel different to other stories that also touch on this topic.
