Chou Dokyuu Shoujo 4946

First and foremost, I must say that after reading the first chapter of this manga I actually dropped it, gave it a 4, and moved on. But I was bored, and something about the premise still intrigued me, so I cam back and tried reading it some more. Story: The first chapter aside, this manga has an intriguing novel story, which is told at quite a fast pace. However, the story becomes fascinating towards the end. Maybe a bit cliche here and there, but the development earlier means you don't care as much. There are also some subtleties along the way which add to the final moments. Art:The art was... well 'fair'. I didn't care for how a lot of the characters were drawn much. They were forgettable or generic. However, I have to give a little credit, because I did like Mana's style. Otherwise though, the art didn't hold much on it's own. Character: This may sound strange, but I almost 'filled in' some of the characters in my own head. That is to say, at some points, things seem to jump around and some characters develop strangely. However, our two leads are solid enough in their style. It's a bit cliche at points, but this isn't the longest of manga so I think that helps forward their perspectives a bit. Enjoyment: It gets better. I didn't enjoy the first chapter, tolerated a few, then it got fun, then it got enjoyable, and before I knew it I couldn't put it down. If I had to say one thing in particular about this manga, it's that the idea was definitely there, and there were even some aspects of execution that were really beautiful. It gets a bit cliche at points, but it does it well so it's ok. It also jumps a bit, and it might lose you for a second, but just like the main characters, they eventually get back on focus and the whole story shoots forward once again. I think, and this may sound mean, that maybe this manga could be re-done at some point. A few re-written spots would have made this manga go from just an '8' to a truly original and unforgettable story (also a bit longer to flesh out the characters as well couldn't hurt), and maybe that's a bit why I'm giving it an 8 instead of a 7. This manga seems to have a deepness to it that I haven't seen in other similar series, despite it not seeming to be able to accurately express all of it. Maybe I'm just rambling at this point, but if you read this manga, maybe you'll see what I mean too.

A great and fun read, especially for those who like feel-good mangas with good romance. Although somewhat filled with romance cliches very frequent in the genre, it still executes it properly, not once had I have an issue with the cliches used. The story's premise is simple and sweet, you have a gigantic girl and a dude who wants a girlfriend cause he just loves girls too much and then you delve deep into a fun battle-romance manga with a good conclusion. Overall the manga is a great read and it isn't a hassle to read through with only having 29 chapters easily finishingit in a few hours. SPOILER Warning: The manga ending with a gag somewhat annoyed me as I felt the character's experience was ignored for a simple gag thus making the conclusion for me being an 8/10 when I already was planning to rank it as a 9/10 since it was a satisfying end.
