Kami-chama Karin Chu (Manga)

If you've ever read the 1st initial series you know what Kamichama Karin is, and when it was at it's best. It had a ending that wrenches my heart everytime I read it, and I loved it being my first manga that was over 1 volume. However, this sequel, intended to wrap up plotholes lowers the overall standards.

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Story

While, as the story was darker, which I enjoyed, the plot was questionable.
Okay, so Karin and the 3 Gods of her Harem have to destroy seeds of chaos to save the future. But how, infact, does it save the future when the fighting was what did Michi and Kazune in in the first place! All the seeds/flowers/whatever seem to do in cause petty mischief, nothing future-killing. So why is my question?

Also, the sequel was intended to wrap up plotholes, but it never did such thing. Why does Yuuki has god-powers? DOES he even have powers? Can he use them? Why does Kazune have a sister if he's a clone? All it did was open up a new story and ignore the plotholes that could've been filled.

Art

As usually, the art was cute big-eyed shojo, which I have no problem with at all.

Character

Oh dear.

Karin: Karin was our normal perky shoujo heroine with a harem, like most shoujos, but atleast she can pack a punch. Still, her character never got very deep or developed at all.

Kazune: Oh no. We all remember Kazune as the sexist but cute bishounen with the bad temper and mysterious past, now apparently he's one of perverted bishie bad guys too? Where did that come from Koge-Donbo*?

Jin: Oh. A perverted idol who has crush on the main character. Nothing interesting.

Michii: Michii, how I love you so! The weird guy with a tragic past and who is purely awesome. Nothing wrong here.

Suzune: Okay, he doesn't have much of a personality 'cause he's little. But he's cute.

Rika Karasuma: Well, probably the most developed character in this manga. Yay for lovable villians.

Enjoyment

I didn't really like the manga as must as Kamichama Karin. The unexplaned plotholes and new characters that range from boring- good didn't impress me.
But I enjoyed the darker plot, but the eding is still odd to me till this day. And why is Shi-chan at Karin & Kazune's wedding? She's a cat!

Overall

Read this if you read Kamichama Karin to complete the series, but don't expect anything too impressive. read more

Story: 8

I was getting really worried here. I thought the manga was going to become a Sailor Moon where the there's trouble and the heroine defeats it. If it was like that then bye bye to my perfect manga. Actually, the story gets more in-depth. You just needa endure the fight, kill, victory sequence. I know it's hard but I found it worth it. The story was nice but I can't say it was anything too special. Something about it just makes me think 'something was missing...'. As I heard before, maybe it was because so many ideas were put into one story. I truly do have a hate for that.

Art: 8

O. M. G. Everyone is sooooo cute!!! Kyaa~
I loved Suzune especially. He's one of my favouriute characters. He is just too cute!! Everyone look cool and cute in their own way but I didn't find Kazune very original. First thing I thought was 'It's that blond boy from Pita-Ten??'. Eventually I saw the difference.

Character: 7

I've gotta say, the way Kazune tried to protect Karin was extremely cute. Though I didn't see too much of a change through personality throughout the story. Everyone basically stayed the same. Another pet hate of mine.

Enjoyment: 9

With all them bad scores, I still really enjoyed Kamichama Karin Chu. It was quite my perfect manga. A sequel that shows the continuation of a relationship now that's what I like! And with little Suzune I loved the manga more!!

Overall: 8 read more
