Full Moon ni Sasayaite (Manga)

Hmmm. I'm not sure about the plot in this. It has some good concepts, the Yam tribe is particularly interesting. But, like a lot of the manga I've come across lately the plot seems overly stretched. Every chapter has different characters which we don't see again. But, unlike some other mangas that do this, there is good continuity.

The main characters do develop and I think there is a lot to learn about them. It's nice to see the change in Marlos attitudes.

This series contains some very nice artwork, especially the colour inserts at the start of each manga. The characters are well defined and they can easily be distinguished from each other.

I admit that once or twice I had to flick back some pages to re-read, but overall its easy to follow.

I think this is a light series, good for a bit of fun. It could've had more yaoi, but I'd always say that! If you like any of the genres it covers I'd say to give it a read.

Dammit, I wish someone would have written a review and wrote that; yes, I seem to have been momentarily blind for me miss the obvious Shounen-ai-ness but that's the God-forsaken truth.

Now that I have publicly confessed, I'll get going on my review.

Story-wise, it was really brief. The chapters jumped from subject to subject after coming to a rather rushed end at the end of the previous chapter. But regarding the summary, it's not really that emphasized upon, the fact that one of the main character's bestfriend turns into a chick, under the full moon (something to do with energies?).

This is what literally happened:

Main character#1: I have a problem
Main character#2: What is it?
Main character#1: It's best if I show you...
(Main character#1 goes infront of full moon's light)

Main character#2: I love you...

WHAT THE HELL! Then the writer tells you that when the two of them were children, Main character#2 once said "Main character#1, I'd marry you if you were a chick".

May I emphasize...

"IF YOU WERE A CHICK"! What did Kid Main character#2 mean?!
"If you were a chick"! What's up with these perfectly perverted sick psycho kids; Parents! What did you teach them?!

And then it suddenly jumps into them making-out once a month.

Dude, you know that your both dudes, right?

Whatever, that's it for the story but it was very brief and the story didn't run very smoothly.

Anyway, the art was kinda proportionate; it's just not proportionate enough and it had many flaws, facial features and all.
It also lacked details, a huge blunder, since this could have given the story a touch of realism however the art was very vague and general: much like most stories.

I will leave out my usual paragraph of whether or not I recommend this because...

To put it lightly, my morals will most definitely be stated and maybe you (the reader of this review) doesn't really stick with them so whether or not you want to read this after reading my review is solely,

Up to you.

But know that I think it sucks. There. read more
