Summary: Elizabeth March is one of four daughters from a prestigious family. The only reason she stands out from her sisters’ extraordinary beauty and talent is because she’s talentless. After her acceptance into the same academy all her sisters are at, Elizabeth encountered a chain of interesting things including getting off at the wrong start with a rich boy named Adrian.

Graphics Rating: 9/10
Plot Rating: 8/10
Opinion: Graphics are gorgeous and detailed. The Victorian fashion in this is to die for. I didn’t give it a ten because there was something about it I couldn’t put my finger on. Maybe too detailed? I don’t know.
Story is very interesting. Apparently it’s based on “Little Women” which is a classical book I have never read. So I dunno if it is following it closely or whatever. I may read the novel later once this is done cause I don’t want any spoilers. (For the love of God don’t go on the Mangafox forums)
I like how all the characters interact and how unique each character is. It’s really fun watching them all interact. And Beth is such a lovable character. Clumsy and average looking she really is a heroine who looks out for herself. I really want to see her turn into a lady but still keep that spunk of hers.
As with most of my reviews I’d strongly suggest you read this.
Final Rating: 8/10
Extra: Based on the popular classic Little Women. (Google it yourself)

Chokuo has been in love with Taichiro for a long time. Taichiro and Chokuo have known each other since childhood. At one point, Taichiro became very candid and told Chokuo that he hated her so much that he wanted to kill her. Even so, Chokuo’s desire toward him never really changed. One day, a senior in her athletics club confessed to her. Filled with burning jealousy, Taichiro also confessed to Chokuo. Their insecure, but very obsessive love begins.

Graphics Rating: 7/10
Plot Rating: 9/10
Opinion: Graphics are okay, older looking but it definitely won’t get in the way of the amazing story.
If you are looking for something really unique, this is it. So interesting, especially the psychological part. These two characters are obsessive to the point of wanting to kill each other; especially the male ‘hero’. It’s crazy. Reading this is like watching a ticking bomb.
I love how it isn’t serious all the time. There are times you think “oh, that’s so sweet!” or “ha, that was funny” but every time it ends back at scary. A roller coaster ride.
Read this if you want something interesting and out the ordinary.

Summary: Katagiri Aoi lives in the countryside, and likes it just fine there. Yet, to her dismay, her parents are moving to Tokyo, and she has to come along.

On impulse, he kisses her–only to realize that this kiss, unlike all the others, carries unexpected meaning for them both.
-From Mangaupdates
Graphics Rating: 8/10
Plot Rating: 9/10
Opinion: The graphics were a little rough for me. Very shounen-esque. If you like that you will love this. If you don’t you’ll get over it.
The story is so sweet and funny but gets sad. Please, please, please don’t look at the topics in the forum on mangafox if you don’t want to be spoiled. All I can say is that it gets hilarious but also so sad I nearly bawled my eyes out while reading it in class. But the final message is just too sweet for words.
Read it!
Final Rating: 9/10
Extra: One of the earlier works of the same author as Boku ni Watshi (a personal fav)

*Mens Kou
Hey,
Sorry I haven’t done anything in a while. >_>
I don’t really have a good excuse either. OxO
I mean I’ve had school but it’s not that bad.
I AM playing pokemon Heart Gold (AWESOME) and Persona 4 (trying to finally beat it after leaving it for a year).
I AM saving for a playstation 3 and FFXIII 
But mostly I’ve been bored with reading manga and review as of late. It kinda feels like a chore when I’m not in the mood. And that’s no fun!
The weather is also getting nicer so I may be spending more time outside.
Most of all, this boredom is only temporary and I will still try to do one review a week. For now I’d suggest getting outside or reading some of the hundred+ manga that I’ve reviewed but you haven’t read.
Much Love,
XOXO Kitteh

Graphics Rating: 10/10
Plot Rating: 10/10
Opinion: Graphics, are, gorgeous. From the moment you seen the main guy. As soon as I saw him all I could think was “good lord… it’s my perfect man.” Blue eyes and black hair… yummy!
The story is so painfully, breathtakingly beautiful… right to the end. You see the relationship really progress and it just gives you butterflies in the stomach the whole time. The characters are fun too! The girl is weak… to a point. It is also a comedy. Is there any other manga where the girl punches the mail lead in the face up until the very end? Awesome.
I don’t want to give anything away. Please please PLEASE read this. You will never regret it.
Final Rating: 10/10

Name: Heart no Kuni no Alice (Alice in the Country of Hearts)
Artist: Hoshino, Soumei
Story: QuinRose
Volumes: 4 (Ongoing)
Licensed: Tokyopop
Scanlations: V.04 Ch.024 (Ongoing)
Scanlator: 3 Different Scanlators
Type: Manga
Genre: Fantasy/Harem/Pyschological/Adventure
Age Group: Teens
Summary: The girly but bloody otome game re-imagining of Lewis Carroll’s classic fantasy novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with bishounen characters and added romance.
A parody of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland where Alice is smart and non-doormatlike.
In this story, Alice is not all what she seems. She is practical, strong, yet darkly cynical. Instead of the traditional story, Alice is kidnapped unwillingly by a mysterious (yet somewhat bishie-looking) man with bunny ears into a place call Heartland. Stuck in Heartland due to a trick by the mysterious bunny eared man, she meets the residents of this world. Along the way, Alice meets Blood, handsome mafia leader; Ace, the psycho yet charming knight and more…What should Alice do in such a world!?

Graphics Rating: 8/10
Plot Rating: 8/10
Opinion: Graphics are awesome.
Plot… meh. It’s Alice! I really like the take and the design and everything it just seems… slow. I just don’t know where it’s going yet and I’m on volume 4. I’ve finished ridiculously intricate series in this amount of time and it’s frustrating. Maybe it is just because I don’t like harem much. It is very harem-ish.
I really like the psychological parts. It really is thought provoking and interesting but it just gets drawn out for a long time. But maybe that’s the manga-ka’s plan. We will wait and see!

Summary: “There once was a girl with a splendid flower blooming upon her chest.”
When Lys was born, her heart did not beat at all. To save her, her mother made a contract with a devil: Lys can borrow his heart until the day she turns sixteen, but after that, he will eat her body. Together with her companion, Siva, someone whom she met by chance in the desert at night, she travels around as a dancer girl to find the devil who sealed her fate. One day, while they were traveling, they suddenly meet an egoistic prince and a ring spirit…

Graphics Rating: 8/10
Plot Rating: 8/10
Opinion: Graphics are gorgeous. Although I don’t really like the main girl as much as I like the rest of the characters…
So it’s just two volumes but it seems to really work with just the two. The idea is very interesting so if you’re into fantasy you’ll love it. I also love the setting, olden day Arabia. It’s like Aladin! … with demons… Anyways. Everything was very inreteresting. I really love seeing Siva interacting with Lyse as a child. Best chapter ever.
It seems really good but there is something I didn’t like, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. I’m going to say it was the characters. There were so many side characters but it was really interesting. Some of the problems were off too. Not to mention I hated the recap at the beginning of every chapter. Boring.
