Kamisama no Iutoori

I'm surprised this is getting reviews as high as 8. Though being a die-hard Full Moon Wo Sagashite fan, thus die-hard shinigami fan, I gave a read out of curiousity. Story: It is hard to for me to resist a story with a plotline such as this....but the problem is, it's WAY too rushed. The part that's the most rushed is the whole love triangle. Girl likes boy (and that's all we really know about her, besides that she is an airhead who is kind) boy likes girl back (and that's all we know about HIM) and then the shinigami boy begins to like girl toobecause.....she's the main character. Yes, that's all it feels like. She's the main character, thus he must like her. She sees him crying, they have ONE friendly conversation....and then he is supposed to be in love with her. So in "love" that he needs to go after her boyfriend out of jealousy and then stop caring about his own well-being. After ONE conversation over the matter of a WEEK!? *sigh* This doesn't work for me. Sure, it's only two volumes...but that's not a good excuse to rush the triangle. I've read ONESHOTS that are more convincing than this. The premise is fine but the execution is poor. Very poor. Did I mention that we aren't even given a reason to why she can see him....she just can? Art: Oh boy. I've read SO much shoujo....but Mimori Ao's character art is.....probably one of the worst I've ever laid eyes on. Her SD/"chibis" are fine, as the comical expressions (they are indeed cute enough) but when the scene is serious and she draws the faces and bodies in that "normal" way, they are really really unappealing. The lizard noses, the big under-lashes, and the thick bottom lips all combined in one face just look so.....ugly. o_O Character: If you want characters you're really going to care about and relate to....and root for.....this isn't the manga for ya. There's nothing to Ayumi, the heroine. There's nothing to her boyfriend. The only one who gets development is Shiro and his doesn't make a whole lot of sense and it happens too quickly and it's also too much. Enjoyment: I dunno if I can say I enjoyed it...though it was hard to stop reading it. Like I said, it's the premise that hooked me. If the art was anything decent, I know I would have enjoyed it a bit more.
