Akuma de Koi Shiyou

Story (7/10): This was a short and sweet manga. It wasn't too special or captivating. It was more like a light read. If you're looking for something short and not too serious (maybe like a manga rebound), then this is something for you. Art (8/10): This has your typical shoujo art. It's pretty, not wow-mazing. Once again, not too special. Overall (7/10): I just wish that author could have written one or two more chapters, as the ending was incredibly rushed. It's a shame that it was just when the story was becoming interesting that the author ended it.

Okay this is the first manga I have read from this mangaka that led me to her other work (Haru Matsu Bokura) which I'm currently enjoying but that's for another discussion. For some reason I really like this mangaka's style, the art is pretty and her storytelling is quite funny even though it's the typical cliched shoujo stuff. But I guess the way the setup of the story was executed a bit different with how the leads met and their background story. It does not mean that it was good though because I felt that the resolution was done so fast/rushed. I guess it couldn'tbe helped since this is just 4 chapters, if the story was allowed to be longer the story could have developed more with a better resolution to their first love "truth". The characters are nothing special, the male lead is quite bland without much depth but it's the female lead that I quite like. Her reactions and the way she acted was quite amusing, especially the way the mangaka drew her facial expressions. Overall I did quite enjoy this as a quick read, I would recommend this if you want to waste time and read a short story with pretty art.
