I thought this manga was very funny and different. I give Furou Kyoudai an 8/10 Story: The story is about two twins you can see spirits. And the only way to keep them away is by staying next to each other at all times. In bed, in the bathroom, at school, ALL the time. With this story I think it's funny how even in high school they'll still take bathes together. The reactions from other characters are also pretty amusing. I wish it was longer :) Art: The art is ok. It's not very good, but not really bad. It didn't really bother me. It's kind of eerie, whichfits the manga well. Characters: Only two characters matter, the twins. If this manga was longer, there were probably be more characters. But I'll talk about the twins. The twins are kind straight forward. They never like to separated (but they have a reason), they're dark, gloomy, like never smile. But it fits nicely. Enjoyment: I really enjoyed this manga. Even if it's short. I would recommend this manga for anyone. I give this manga an overall 8/10. Hope this helps :)
The Furou siblings are well known for being extremely close. In the bathtub together, in the restroom together... what is the reason these twins can't be separated even for a moment...? Don't miss out on this hilarious horror comedy! (Source: MU)
tl;dr: An interesting premise but pretty flawed execution. This manga has an interesting premise that could be an interesting story in two ways, one in that it could revolve around an interesting relationship dynamic between brother and sister, and two it could feature a number of stories involving ghosts being dealt with in interesting ways. It does a bit with both of those, but it doesn’t really work that well because it feels like from the first step its incredibly messy. I don’t know how to describe this well, but it felt like it was really scattered with very awkward pacing, moving through the plot way too fastwithout stopping for any of it to really stick or for it to ever feel like things are happening or progress is being made. I suppose that’s why it was axed right away, because it only goes on for one volume, so in the end even though there was an interesting premise and a few good moments, the story never really moved enough for anything to happen. The art was okay.
Furou Kyodai is the story of twins with the ability to see spirits. The only times they can repel the spirits is when they are together, so they spend all of their time together, even in situations when others believe it is inappropriate. This manga is really cute, and the premise is one I have not seen before. In some ways, it is similar to other manga with protagonists who can see spirits, such as Natsume Yuujinchou, but this one has added comedy due to people misunderstanding the twins' relationship (which is purely a platonic sibling relationship). There are a few short arcs about helping spiritsto the afterlife, but I think the manga could have been much improved with a bit more length, maybe adding more short stories and developing the main plot of the twins trying to live their lives in their unusual situation.
