Dragon Half

If u like comedy and been around the bush in the fantasy setting then u will love this manga. The charactors are unforgetable the plot is actually unique and reading it is just all around fun, i will not ruin the plot, but i sugguest all fantasy fans give this a try, this is my first review so plz someone write a better one for this great manga.

(just for the record, this is a slight alteration of my anime review) This is the adaptation of the first chapters of the homonymous manga. It is meant to spur you into getting the manga, as it is left intentionally incomplete. STORY SECTION: 710 The story takes place in a JRPG world, where everything is a weird mix of the middle ages (castles, dungeons, roaming monsters) and of the modern day world (airplanes, music concerts, televisions). Everyone is dressed in the Japanese sense of medieval fashion, with lots of leather and quite body-revealing outfits. Mink is a sexy, scantly dressed Dragon-Half (half dragon/half human) and has a crush ona bishounen dragon slayer/pop idol. She embarks on a journey to find a magic potion that can turn her into a normal human girl, since she inherited horns, fiery breath and reptilian tail from her dragonic mother. But many want to kill her. A sleazy king who wants to seduce her mother, a princess who wants to keep the bishounen for herself, the bishounen himself because he is a dragon slayer and the minions of the supreme demon lord. Although it is slapstick/erotic comedy, there are many story elements and revelations that make this little series interesting. ART SECTION: 5/10 Comedy and fan service are the center of attraction and everything else around them is left intentionally amateurish. The graphics are terribly simple and the characters get really chibi when something funny is going on (which is like 70% of total time). When ecchi scenes come along, the body anatomy of the girls improves a lot (proving that the mangaka was not amateur) and we get decent fan service. But even then, the girls simply look kawai (big eyes, innocent look) and not realistic; so don’t expect Playboy realism. CHARACTER SECTION: 8/10 They are all quite silly; you won’t find a serious character here. All characters are funny representations of JRPG stereotypes. As far as classes go, most are specialized fighters or wizards. As far as races go, we have several typical members of all the renowned races (human, dragon, elf, ooze, demon) as well as hybrids of them (half dragon, half ooze). All the major ones get a decent backdrop story and character development and all of them are fleshes out nicely. For a comedy, it packs a very big and interesting cast. The love-struck Mink, her unfaithful womanizing father, her lesbian friend and her hard to get love interest are very funny and above average characters. VALUE SECTION: 6/10 Medium chances of rereading it, as it is mostly light and silly. ENJOYMENT SECTION: 8/10 Depending on your personal taste of humour and ecchiness, the series varies from hilarious to lukewarm. I personally loved it and enjoyed it enough to be interested for more.
