Eniale & Dewiela

This manga's selling point is most definitely the art. It is stunning throughout every page, and fits in so well with the theme. It is very easy to digest because it is so short, and the plot is a strange mix of shallow and deep, which is why I think this manga does not suit everyone. It is worth checking out for its stylistic artwork and its humor. But below I will post a breakdown. Art - 10/10 super detailed, not overly done, very clean cut. Really breathtaking at times. Story - 7/10 this manga could have easily fallen into the deeper, super complex side of mangabut instead stuck to a more lighthearted note. It has a good balance of seriousness and comedy, with a few chapters hinting and exposing depth, and is unique in its approach of a friendship between angel and devil. Characters - 9/10 you simply cannot help but laugh at Eni and Dewi's friendship and their interactions. They both come off as strong characters without overpowering each other. The side characters which appear throughout the chapters also have their own charm and appropriately drive the plot forward in a way which makes you remember them but does not override the story.

Enidewi (or “Eniale and Dewiela” in English) is the first manga series by Kamome Shirahama, who created Witch Hat Atelier, a fantasy manga I think is honestly quite incredible. In this angel and demon fashionista/best frenemies manga, Enidewi, she not only struts her witty sense of humor, but also her impeccable art. This isn’t the manga to read for super complex storytelling, but what it does have is *clever* storytelling. Eniale, the airheaded angel—and Dewiela, the seductive demon—make a perfect comedic duo in a series of hi-jinks (and often some deeper moments too) that flaunt a stylistic look that can’t be found elsewhere. Truly, Shirahama'sart style makes this manga. The character designs are whimsical and gorgeous, and the landscapes and linework are just as beautiful. The story has the kind of premise that really could be turned into a longer manga with a more complex plot, or it could have continued on with its episodic structure for volumes and volumes. It’s a little sad to see that it didn’t continue in either direction, but three volumes does make it a very digestible, easy read. However, some chapters really are better than others. I can’t say its the most impressive manga out there, nor exactly profound… I also think the demographic of this manga is really hard to place, because it reads like something aimed at women, but is also kinda not… it’s difficult to articulate what I mean. But if you want something with a firm grip on its style, look no further.
