Ryushika Ryushika

This short and adorable manga, with it's gorgeous art shows us the everyday fascinations of one small girl, exploring with it's pure and naive mind various oddities of our busy everyday life, which we rarely see due to the fast pace of our lives. Tackling this manga with it's story is poor and wrong, since considering it's episodic nature we can't expect much in this regard, plus it can be said that the storytelling relies more on the art to convey it's feelings and emotions it does evoke to the reader. The manga's artstyle is great, appealing and it relays tous fluently her childish and sweet fascination from her discoveries and contemplations, as well as being a treat to the eye. So you can say one of the major high-points of this manga. Character wise, there are too few and too vaguely characterized ones, besides the main heroine, so we can't say there is much going in this department, but besides this, it can be said that Ryushika is just what you'd expect, playful, mischievous and quirky character. The series are certainly enjoyable, they are tiny bits of the slice-of-life adventures of one adorable child, assimilating with childish bliss the various things around her life, this manga is certainly for people, looking for fuzzy and heartwarming reads, or people in general who are looking for more exotic but calm read.
