Koi Tomurai (Manga)

I read this on a whim when i found it using a site's "surprise me" button. It's only one volume, so if you're looking to occupy yourself for a while then you may want to consider other manga, but if you don't mind short stories then this could be one for you.

The volume is broken up into six individual stories, each having something to do with romance and/or the supernatural. One or two are a bit shorter than i'd have liked and don't really fully explain anything with regard to the plot or characters, however the rest are all in some way very sweet.

With each story being so short, there isn't a lot of time to develop the characters, so you're introduced to them in one fell swoop and get to see how one event affects their personalities. Despite this, i found that for the most part the characters were very enjoyable and each is likable in some way; many are characters that you can easily relate to.

The artwork in the actual panels of the manga isn't as pretty or as detailed as that of the cover, but this isn't really an issue, firstly because a manga uses the cover as a lure anyway and second because the artwork inside is still of a good quality. Besides how many manga actually have the same level of artwork inside and out? Not many that i've seen anyway.

Overall i rated this a seven. I think some more stories would be a good idea, and perhaps one or two coud have been better written, but for the most part it was an enjoyable read that i would read again in the future. read more
