High School Musical (Manga)

Disney has Kingdom Hearts and W.I.T.C.H. wich are both great series, but that's as close to the world of Manga they should've gotten, and High School Musical: The Manga proves it.

It's an overused load of BS story that was already a corporately-whored out ripoff of another series (Grease, wich was GREAT) that tells the tale of a bunch of fairytale endings in High School. I'm gonna put this out now by saying that I'm in High School right now, and it's NOTHING like this BS. Hell, Rosario+Vampire is a more accurate depiction of High School life than this load of crap is.

I'll be fair though, it was drawn fairly decently. It doesn't make up for the fact that it's unreadable, though.

If you somehow find this on your shelf, you'dve better have gotten it on a bet, because otherwise you completely fail at all types of life. I wouldn't even torture your poor computer through reading it or downloading it online. It's that bad. read more

What do you get when you mix a fairly decent mangaka who's out of ideas and Disney - who now wants to become international with no avail? You get High School Musical! The manga. Yay! No, I'm kidding. It was dreadful.

Story: It was absolutely pathetic. I hated HSM when it was a stupid kids' movie, so I'm not exactly sure why I was drawn to the manga. I read 1 chapter, and I could already tell the score would be the same amount of chapters I read. Which was close to 0. Everything in the first chapter was rushed and the timing was horrible. Given, this was not the mangaka's actual plot, so I can't say I hate her just yet...

Art: The art was pretty good, to be honest. I gave it a fair 6. Hey, anyone who can make a guy with the bushiest hair I have ever seen in my life look good, is amazing in my standards.

Character: Dreadful. They're all perfect little teenagers who think they have it bad because of some relationships flaw. Oh puh-lease. Given, the character development is a 2.

Enjoyment: Too bad they don't have any score lower than a 1.

Overall: It was just terrible. A 1, obviously. I truly hated it, and I should've never started reading it. The only good aspect was the cute art. But don't let this manga that should have never been created let you ignore the mangaka's other works. I've read some of her other shoujo mangas - and they were pretty good. read more
