Well, it's not very surprising to see a one shot that has no review, so why not give a little change to that?
STORY: 8/10
It wasn't that there was some intense plot, but it was just that light plot that gave you that sense that it was heading somewhere, but at the same time, it wasn't anything that really drew you in.
Why I give it an eight is because it's just a heartwarming story. The fact that it's based on a true story gives it an even more realistic sense.
Of course, the story was very short and sweet to the point, with its light plot.
ART: 7/10
There
wasn't anything particularly drawing about the art, but rather that it's simple. There isn't any intense detail that you may find in other manga, but it's enough to probably pass even the nit picky (hopefully).
CHARACTER: 7/10
The characters are actually based on real people, the Japanese duo, Teppei Koike and Eiji Wentz. There isn't much character development or anything, but the characters' simplicities and their single goal to reach the top could all be seen within us.
ENJOYMENT: 9/10
Personally, I really enjoyed the story, due to the fact that it had slice-of-life written all over it. But the story in itself was something someone could easily read through without having to get frustrated over any art details or any plot holes. It's just a story about how two guys chasing after their dream to be a performer. It's the simplicity behind it that makes this one shot enjoyable.
OVERALL: 8/10
Technically for me, it teeters to be around a 7.5, but seeing how we can't give specific grades like that, it rounds up to an 8. The story in itself just radiates a heartwarming feeling. It's a very short one shot, and I didn't think it was a waste of time to read. The artwork is simple, yet good enough. The characters are actual people, as well as the plot itself, and personally, that's a real winner to me, as the anime/manga community is surrounded by so much fantasy... sometimes that real sense of reality is needed.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my second (overall) review, and my first manga review! Feel free to leave any feedback, critique, or suggestions, and I'll be happy to respond! I'm always looking for ways to improve :) read more
