Shigofumi (Novel)

Ah, the lightnovel series. There are way too many awesome little short stories in this novel that make this an epic and memorable series. My favorites are the murderer, the fireman, and the old geezer. Like the anime, I don't like how the world settings aren't as defined. Like the anime, I don't like how the central conflict is somewhat weaker than the surrounding short stories. However, unlike the anime, the little short stories are used (in a somewhat cliche way) to lead to the resolution of the main conflict; the main conflict wasn't as bad as the anime version either, so I say Great.

As a lightnovel, the few and limited artwork of Shigofumi are all scanned onto my computer. There's not that much to comment about lightnovel art, but I liked it. Colorful beginning with quote like narration. They were nice to read. I can't really make a comparison on lightnovel art, so I'll leave it at 8.

There wasn't one character that I disliked. A variety of characters are used to make sure the compilation of short stories are evermore entertaining and enjoyable. Fumika is cool all the way to the end. Unlike the anime.

I enjoyed it. I would've enjoyed it more had they explained the whole world settings system. But if the results of explaining it would turn out with a bunch of loopholes and flaws, I guess it's better off not explaining it.

Read it. I don't know if English versions exist, but if not, I'm willing to translate for 100+ people. read more
