AND NOWWWW, FOR THE

MANGA REVIEW OF THE WEEK!!

So this week i've actually read two mangas =P Or at least as much as I could find of them. So lets get started!

Manga: Usagi Drop

Grade: B

Reviewed by: Bunni.

First off, is a lovely manga called Usagi Drop. Its an ongoing manga by artist/author Unita Yumi about a young man named Daikichi who returns home for his grandfathers funeral only to discover the old man had an illegitimate LOVE CHILD!! She is 6 year old Rin, whose presence causes quite an embarrassment to all the relatives there apparently because nobody wants to adopt her and take care of her. Daikichi responds in a very annoyed manner and immediately offers the child his home. Next morning he realizes that this child is his arch enemy ( woman + child = arch enemy.) and he struggles through sudden parenthood in a very real yet humorous manner. The manga appears to be ongoing because I only managed to find four volumes so far, but it is enjoyable. Different in the fact that it's not some out of this world manga but more realistic, something that hits a little closer to home. Everybody at one point has dealt with a loss in their life, and suddenly things change and you find yourself wondering how the hell it happened and whats the best route from here...

It's a nice manga, and a refreshing read. I recommend it.

Manga: To-Love-Ru ( Trouble )

Grade: B+

Reviewed by: Bunni

So this manga is titled To-Love-Ru and it certainly covers all anime/manga fronts. The girls are all adorably cute, specially the main character named Lala who just so happens to be a space alien who came to earth after running away from Deviluke, her home planet ( hence the devil tail) and has decided to marry Rito Yuuki in order to avoid going home. Eventually she discovers she really does love Yuuki and goes about winning his love in every way she knows how, only to end up blowing him up or flinging him across the room on accident.

Rito Yuuki, however, is in love with another girl named from his high school, Haruna, who secretly loves him but of course, never told him. Series includes big boobed babes who grab each other, and even tends to lean a bit towards Hentai every now and then without going all sex on you. There is a wonderful underlying humor through the series however that carries it nicely along and allowed me ignore all the nearly porn business going on. The details are amazing and there is certainly a wide variety of angles to be seen, most of them up the skirt of some random female ( the artist does not discriminate.) It also covers all the fetishes so all you FETISH PEOPLE OUT THERE!! this is the one for you ( maids, bondage, aliens, magical girl, nerdy girl, sporty girl, hot killer, queen B, girl next door, super innocent girl...the list goes on.)

I gave this manga a B+ because although the story is a bit perverted, it does have a lovely humor and stylistic quality that is hard to ignore.

And apparently the show has gotten the anime treatment as well, so check it out.
