this is another one of those series I enjoyed perhaps more than it deserved purely because I really like yuri.

firstly, the art style is fantastic, really minimal lines give every page a cute, clean feel. the characters have pretty varied figures, and faces to an extent, by manga standards, and the pages read well. the main heroine is entirely made up of rounded and cute curves that give her something of a classic shoujo heroine appeal with perhaps a slightly fuller figure.

I personally found the characters pretty endearing, though nothing was delved into too deeply. I really enjoyed reading the main trio's interactions, they have ... a cute little home life set up and it's always nice to see affection between characters. other readers might find it a bit odd that this universe is largely populated by somewhat polyamorous lesbians, but I'm personally happy to suspend disbelief that far because, again, I really like yuri.

I'd class this as a 'plot? what plot?' sort of manga. the story sort of ambles along and is periodically forgotten in order to give side characters more exposure, or for more polyamorous lesbian cuddles/kisses/sex, again something I am totally ok with, but readers hoping for more of a story focus will be very disappointed.

A very short read, but by no means a bad one. This manga is simple and light hearted, and the yuri elements are so, so cute. Turns out everyone.s a lesbian, and i absolutely love that, being one myself lol. There's little plot, and the last few chapters feel a little out of place after the main plotline, aka the main character looking for her missing sister, ends. The final part of the manga focuses on finding a gf for the only girl in the main cast who was still single, and the end felt a little abrupt.

Being a single volume for a total of ... only 7 chapters, the characters are not that deep and well developed (although we do get a few glimpses of the girls' backstories), but the author clearly didn't want this manga to be a complex one.
Overall, Raubritter* is a chill and light hearted read, with decent comedy and some sexual themes.

The sex in the manga isn't depicted particularly explicitly, which can be a bit of a bummer if you found this while looking for more hardcore yuri material.

The only thing that almost made me drop it is that 2 main characters are cousins and, while they're by no means incestuous, there is a sexual scene involving both and the main character and that's def not my thing

but otherwise, if you're bored and gay af, this is a fairly good read haha

overall, 7/10

Raubritter* is a pretty, but rather bland, tale of an innocent young maiden whose troubles are solved with the help of two rich and sexy detectives.

Arguably, the best feature of this manga is the art. The protagonist is adorable, both by herself and in the way she reacts to the advances of other characters. Everyone is well-proportioned and wears a variety of nice outfits over the course of the story. Each character has their own appealing visual style.

The plot disappoints. Anyone used to detective stories will expect a minimum of drama and tension, but there's no meaningful conflict of any kind. The initial problems are ... resolved quickly and painlessly, and the manga does itself a disservice by dragging on after the main plot is concluded. There are plenty of emotional and intimate moments, but because the characters are so poorly developed, these scenes are not very touching.

The characterisation is also severely lacking. Everyone is the same, and a lot of time is spent on teasing the protagonist (which everyone does in the exact same cutesy manner). The main characters don't show or develop any remarkable individual traits, and the emergence of additional heroines only dilutes things further.

Overall, Raubritter* is visually appealing but ultimately boring and forgettable read.
