Since only one other person at the time of myself writing this review has wrote something about the bunny girl senpai manga, I thought i should write some thoughts about it too.

first off the artwork is really great and while doing some background research i found out that the artist is mainly known for drawing hentai. It does explain why the manga is a little bit more sexual than the anime and light novel. This isn't a bad thing though because the characters look really nice and stand out from any other artwork I've seen.

I only really wanted to talk about the artwork because ... if you want to know more about story and other elements i direct you towards the light novel and anime reviews for bunny girl senpai. Because most people would only read this manga if their fans like myself having watched and read both the anime and light novel.

This gonna be my review for 「Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai」
Note : This is my first ever review done on media that is not a video-game.

I will assume you read the synopsis before you read the review. This review will not contain spoiler.

Story : 9
Now, this is tough. If you finished reading all the chapter of this manga you still be shocked and wonder whats happening. Its not-so-unique but at the same time its not-so-mediocre. So what is it? Its actually a mix. It seems to be heavily romantic at first but slowly leaning itself to Supernatural-ish (At which point ... seems very similar to Monogatari). Very predictable while being very enjoyable.

Character : 6
Alright. This is very thing that disappoint me a little bit. The main character「Azusagawa, Sakuta」is very Main-Character. What do you mean by "very Main-Character"? Its the term that I like to use describing the Main Character whom willing to help someone else just because he could or hes feeling guilty if he doesn't.
Now. Lets talk about the bunny girl in the Bunny Girl-senpai 「Sakurajima, Mai」. At first, I understand what her character will be. An "Oujidere-Tsundere-ish", but as story progress she shown to be a very cute. There will be a moment you will think yo yourself "Aww, shes cute"

Enjoyment : 10
Why 10? Because it only consist of 21 chapter and did not try itself too hard to make it a 200 chapter. Story is simple but sometime it does make you go back a few chapter to understand whats going on. Both character interaction is very cute and the ending bit does make my heart moved.

The only reason to get this instead of the Light Novel is for the nice artwork. Otherwise, you should stick to where the story originated from in the Light Novel, which is by far the superior version. For several reasons:

A) The manga version cuts some minor scenes, particularly some banter. The banter is the best part about this series, so you don't want to miss out on that. There are also some altered scenes from the LN/anime (such as Mai's blushing)

B) The manga version is more expensive. $24 retail, versus the Light Novel which is $15 retail.

C) The Light Novel is significantly farther ahead in ... the story. The manga version only goes up to the Futaba arc currently (3 volumes).

D) And finally the manga has waaaaaay too much fan service (Mai image in shower, Futaba's exaggerated breasts, Tomoe panty shot, Mai's bunny suit is exceedingly tight around her body, etc). That really hurts what is otherwise a fantastic story. I have heard that the next arc has a lot less fan service. But this is a review of the first manga volume that I read- Mai's arc.

The art is pretty good. But otherwise, the only reason to get this is if you want a fan-service version of Bunny Girl Senpai.

Watch the anime and read the light novels. This series has a lot of great characters, wholesome and heartwarming romance, realistic drama, and comedy. Highly recommended series to all fans of those things...for the Light Novel and anime versions, anyway.
