Ability Shop (One Shot)

I'll keep this short, I mean the manga is less than 50 pages, what's the point of a in-depth analysis?

My first one shot manga, so I should mention why I even read it - because the art looked appealing, so did the name.

Quite frankly, it's probably one of the easiest ways to decide whether to read the synopsis of a manga you've never heard of before - art and the title.

So anyway, [i]Ability Shop[/i] is pretty much set out like a fable, if you've ever seen the movie [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389860/]Click[/url], then the fable is kind of the same.

Thinking about it, it doesn't actually hold much comical value, and rather, is actually quite serious - despite the art style.

It's kid a kiddy version of [i]Death Note[/i] almost.

But it's good, if you read it for what the underlying lesson is, then it's a good lesson learnt.

I can't say much more, I mean.. it's a one shot manga - characters were good, but you can't grow attached to them just because of how short this was.

I felt that it was kind of a waste to use this as a one shot, it had the potential to be a short - at LEAST one volume manga, that way it would've allowed readers to feel more sympathetic.

However, enjoyable none the less. It's 50 pages, read it. read more

You might get mad at me because of the score I gave, but I can at least explain somehow why.

Just by reading the title of the story, you already have an idea of what's the story about. I honestly didn't read the synopsis, but I'm pretty sure that when I do, I would know almost everything without reading the manga. No, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining here.

The story isn't as hard core as 'Death Note' , but I can't say it's a bad manga. There's an obvious moral lesson of the story that even kids would notice. It's a friendly manga that clearly explains the consequences of being somewhat greedy without using foul words, real 'bad' characters, and the story line is really easy to follow.

Enjoy! :) read more
