Princess Jellyfish

I saw the anime in 2011 on Noitamina, I remember that I looked forward to the animes from that block because they were always different from the standard that everyone saw. Kuragehime is no different, a romantic comedy between a jellyfish otaku and a young crossdresser boy. The beginning of the manga is very interesting, as it is a moment full of surprises, such as the bond that emerges between Tsukimi and Kuranosuke, which ends up being a modern version of Cinderella or Ugly Betty, considering that Tsukimi is clumsy and Kuranosuke It's always stylish. Then the romance turns into a love triangle, when they includeKuranosuke's brother in the story, although I don't really like it, because it makes the story confusing, I hate when they do that. So at a certain point, the story leaves the romance aside and becomes a manga about the world of fashion, entrepreneurship and the economic situation in Japan. It was an interesting class, but it completely changed the manga. And that part made me have a terrible hatred for the fujoshis in the Amamizukan dormitory, where Tsukimi lives. They are about to be evicted and are still lazy in fixing the problem. Mayaya is the worst of all. Then the story ends in Singapore and it is one of the lowest points in history, too boring, made just to mess around. So much so that after the story returns to Japan, it is rushed and ends, smelling of cancellation or tiredness on the part of the author. I say this because while reading the end of the volume, she showed a oneshot of her next work after the final chapters. In fact, speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful mangaka. Akiko higashimura is gorgeous. Overall, the manga has a fascinating start, but declines a lot throughout the chapters. The ending was expected, but it was very rushed, which gives a feeling of incompleteness. I started out giving it a 9, but I ended up with a 7.

I really loved tha anime and I've been meaning to pick up the manga for years now but the sad truth is I can see why the anime stopped where it did. It was fun at first but slowly it just started to feel like the author was tired of the stories and the characters. So many plot points are left in the air, and for a manga that somehow becomes about fashinon? All the dresses designed are lacking in any taste. It was hard to force myself to watch, especially when we are intorduced to so many new, meaningless characters just before the endingfor a conveneint save. Stick with the anime.

So i finally finished Princess Jellyfish. This 17 volume series was too long with alot of downhill moments. The series is essentially a fashion, Ugly Duckling and a love triangle story. All 3 which i feel were poorly executed. The series just took too long to deal with anything in the series. This is a 17 volumes series yet it felt 11 volumes too long. Its way too slow to the point that the last chapter... didn;t feel rushed hillariously enough. Despite wrapping up like a buncha plotlines. I enjoyed the comedy when it involved the Vixen and the driver. However the comedy elementsinvolving the main and supporting cast just didn't work. It was golden in the anime but failed in the manga. I liked the idea of becoming fashion designers but it was executed pretty poorly. there was some good moments but there were far too inbetween. Also the MMC's reason for crossdressing takes way too long to be explained. For majority of the series you supposed to believe he's just a horrible person that takes advantage of his father while simultaneously trying to make him mad. I don't think the father is a great person either. But for me the worst person in this series was the MMC he was selfish more majority of the series. The romance was also good fun in the earlier parts but at the end as expected it fell apart. I think the ugly ducking story as well was done poorly. Besides the FMC none of them have legitimate developments. Except maybe the tall chick I didn't think this was a bad series but it was incredibly mundane. It had few good moments but was barely passable overall. The funniest moments in the manga were the bonus omakes about the author's personal life. so thats not something you should be the case in your comedy manga. 5/10 Rare case the anime being superior
