Fairy Cube (Manga)

Story: 8

Going into this Manga, do not at all expect a story that is, how to put it, one of ones happy go lucky fairy tales. Expect something more along the lines of Brothers Grim and those stories, with a great deal of taking from the fokelore of many aspects of quite a few cultures, capturing the darker side that is rarely seen any more. Also, while it ends on a happy note, there is also a note of saddness to it.

Art: 8

The art work seemed a tad bit over done on the girly side, and I am female. I loved the detale placed on the wings, but it was at times hard to pick out differences in characters for one things.

Character: 6

As for the characters, they start of really strong, then become weak towards the middle, then end beautifully. It is the middle part that might make some wish not to continue reading.

Enjoyment: 8 & Overall: 7

I had to say that this was a good tale that was good for a sitting down, but perhaps not a reread on my part as most of the characters I really couldn't get attached to. The ones I did were the most 'lonely' characters in the whole series. read more

Fairy Cube is an excellent manga. It's short, but good. It leaves people standing on the edge of their seat until the end, at least it did for me. This is one of those "Fairy tale/fantasy with a dark side" stories. It has an enjoyable plot, but it's one of those where you'd have to read the entire thing to learn the whole story.

It's characters are excellent. It's short, so it doesn't have much time for development, but it pulls it off well. Almost all the characters are related to at least one or two of the other characters through some past event. You see all the characters getting intertwined and brought together in the ending, which I find excellent.

Like I said, it's a "fairy tale with a dark side", but that gives it more entertainment. That dark twist makes it all the more enjoyable.

For lovers of fairies, dark fairy tales, and plot twists, this is something you want to read! read more
