Story: 7

The story is definitely not a unique. It follows a storyline of demons, contracts and impending death. It was pretty much a shoujo version of Kuroshitsuji to me. There's probably plenty of other manga with the same elements, I just have not read them.

Even with the similar storyline, Hanatsukihime added something special to it. Being a shoujo, the story was undeiniably cute and heart warming. It's a bit tedious at the start, having that repetitive thing going on like Sailor Moon but the story gets deeper later. True it was quite dark for a shoujo but it didn't exactly pull the strings for me. ...

Story: This story plot was a little different from the normal shojo mangas you read. I personally never heard of Hanatsuki before and it kind of grabbed my attention. Though after a while I was able to figure out some parts of the story. The story did seem predictable, but the situations the characters put themselves in made it interesting to see what would happen next. One thing that did bother me and I kind of wonder if I may have passed it up, what happened to the Hanastuki's mother? She played the main roll putting the main characters into the situation that ultimately makes ... the story, but they don't really talk about where she is and if she was dead what happened to her. Overall though, the story was new, interesting, and very touching, about chapter 6 (of 8) I couldn't put it down, I HAD to see it through to the end.

Art: BEAUTIFUL. There are several pages I'm going to have to go back and attempt to draw they are just so beautiful. The art screams Shojo and has that beautiful detail that shojo manga readers crave. The artist put a lot of work into designing the dancing clothes and the devil's vines and body marks. I have no complaint with the art what so ever. Of course not all the art was highly detailed, the main parts of the story were drawn simply so it wouldn't be too much for the reader.

Character: Lys and Siva, Love them to death. There were some characters like Thor and Russet who to me just seemed to get in the way. Though they were good characters with good personalities, they only popped up in the story every now and then and it seemed to mainly be when you wouldn't want them there. Once again, as I mentioned before, though they followed the story of Lys (The main character) the story went from her birth when her mom asked for the devil's heart to Lys being alone. Mother just dropped off the face of the Earth and no one explained that.

Enjoyment: Very enjoyable, though they did nothing but travel, they always had a new experience. Some people knew what Lys was and shunned her, others didn't. So it was interesting to see how far she would go and what town would welcome her and what town would shun her. I was always interested to see what happened next and how the story would end.

Overall: It got a 9 for being great. It wasn't an outstanding masterpiece, but it was very enjoyable. It wasn't the normal love story you would normally read and that's what I liked about it. It was something very different and though it was short, it satisfied my crave for a good romance. It wasn't overly long and drawn out like a lot of romance stories are. This is just a good manga to read when you have nothing to do and need to keep your mind occupied for a few hours. Hanastuki Hime takes "I will give you my heart" to a whole new level.

Mixed Feelings

I finished Hanatsukihime and honestly it was a weak series. ITs a short shoujo 2 volume series and its not like its complicated. A classic story about a demon (male ofc) who has no feelings (obviously) and takes care of a girl who gives him joy and life and how to feel stuff and shit. and then she grows up to be mega hot. Im not against cliches but the problem here is the pacing and choreography which are both kinda choppy. It has a couple of amazing double pages but its just weak. I didn't hate the series but it just was kinda ...
