Its pretty rare that I feel the need to write a review, but this manga managed to spark that urge. This is also a review for a yaoi... which is a first for me hehe.
The story was pretty good and it didn't have a plot that was as over used as most other yaois i've read. It wasn't very unpredictable, but that was to be expected.
The art was the style of its time. The women and men look pretty similar and the man have hips that are ridiculously small. ... I mean seriously. They all look like 12 year olds from the waist down. But the anatomy's proportions are consistent throughout the manga so its just the style.
The characters were fair. Ren is... meh. Emotionally damaged, needs somebody to love, lonely, but kinda jerkish. And Youji... would be a better character if he didn't freakin cry so much! Its gotten on my nerves so much. But some girls probably like that. Just not me haha. Way too much emotion coming from a 17 year old guy.
The pace of the manga is pretty slow. But in this case, the pace works. Its not all, guy meets guy, BAM they sleep together, then they pledge their love to each other. This manga definitely has a more realistic feel then the typical yoai I previously descried.
Overall I gave it a 6. Not great but not too shabby~
Its worth a shot, so give it a chance. You might like it more than I did :)

I have only read 3 chapters of this manga, so, if my opinion of this changes after reading more of it, I will revise my review.

That being said i'll move on~

I love supernatural, action, shounen-ish stuff a lot. But I also really enjoy mystery and psychological reads as well. For some reason I was hoping to find a little of both worlds in this manga. So far i'm not impressed. Note: I did read the one shot before starting the series.

(Art) The quality of art in a manga is not something I would typically consider when rating. (unless it was downright awful) But ... if I were to rate the artwork I would give it a 9. It looked clean and well done. The monsters were very detailed and interesting to look at.

(Story)(6) Im gonna start by saying, this story has a lot of potential. The storyline is good and the ideas are interesting, but the author, in my humble opinion, isn't doing an awesome job with it... But like I said. Im only on chapter 3! So I'll give it a 6 being that its still early in the story for me. 3 chapters in and i'm not clear on what the monsters are, where they came from, or how they came to be. I can barley tell the setting that the story is taking place in. And I know little to nothing about any of the characters. I feel like the author has skipped the first few chapter and that this story doesn't have a very solid foundation.

(Characters)(5) Oh my gosh. The two main protagonist of this story, are grading on my nerves. Its unusual for me to not like a male main character but I feel very little affection or attachment to Haiji. He is very hard to relate to, has close to no emotion, and seem to have omnipotent intellect and power right off the bat. What makes a good character? In my opinion, its the flaws. Some people reading this might think; but he does have flaws! Ok, but of his flaws, which can you relate to? If he's a genius, can easily master great power and succeed at anything he wants to with ease. Then to me, he's boring. Another character that comes to mind when I think of Haiji is Jio Freed. Similar in a lot of ways but very different. Jio is a great character.
Now for the second protagonist Torioji. Not much to say about her... She's dull, boring and predictable. A flat character who's only purpose that I see is to be the foil character for Haiji. Oh, and apparently giving that 1% of inspiration to Haiji.
I would write about the main antagonist but so far I dont really know enough about him to form an opinion.

This manga has potential and I hope it doesn't crash and burn. I don't like being negative like this but this is just my honest opinion.

Please feel free to send me feedback on this review if you think I missed something or want to share your opinion on what I wrote. I love constructive criticism, I just ask that you be nice. I hope this review was helpful~ :)

Ok, honestly speaking, this is one of the most pathetic manga I have evert read.
The story is short so im gunna make this review short too.

The story-
Cliché, predictable, poorly constructed, and BORING!

Art-
Was the worst ive seen. The only thing in the art that I thought was good, were the eyes of the characters. Everything els had zero detail. Most of the time it still looked like the panels were in the rough draft stage of creation. Most if not all of it was line art. It was terrible.

Character-
I realize this story is short and there is only so much you can cram into ... a story of this size but still... c'mon? These characters were 1 dimensional and as thin as Popeye's girlfriend. Not only thats but the characters didn't seem to match and connect with each other, or even me as the reader.

Enjoyment-
I could have walked away from this manga at any time when I was reading it. The only reason I kept going till the end was because I wanted to add it to my collection of completed manga... and thats about it... If it were any longer then 7 chapters, I might have even dropped it.

Overall-
I had low expectations before I even started reading, but it surpassed even them. This manga was just plain dreadful. I wont tell you not to read it (after all its you choice), but I will tell you not to expect much.

The end ^.^

Mother Keeper is another one of those typical shounen-ish, cliche, predictable stories that I always end up reading. -and for some reason I get attached to easily.
Also, if your looking for for a manga that makes you think or takes you on a emotional roller coater, its also not here. BUT, if you wanna read something that has action, some comedy, and just an easy good read, then this is it.

The story (like i said) is kinda predictable and so far and the pace of the plot is a little on the slow side. 30 chapters in and I don't feel like the story ... has made a whole lot of progress. The story does do a good job in keeping the readers attention for the most part and I haven't encountered a time when I could walk away and not care what happens next. Story 7.

The art In the manga is great in my opinion. Kirai Sorano has a very unique style that really fits the story. When I think about this manga, I find myself thinking that I 'watched it' instead of 'read it,' just because the art portrays the motion of the characters so well. The art is clean, clear, and beautiful. Art 10 ^.^

The characters development is.... well, not as much as I would like to see. I hope that once the author is finished explaining the pasts of the characters, they'll put some more work into their development. The characters in this story do work well together which is always a plus~

Enjoyment. Like I said at the beginning of this review, I dont know why but Scenarios such as the one that our main hero of the story (Ricalna Forde) is in, always catch my interest no matter how many I read or watch them. So because of this, I gave it an 8 >.

This story honestly disappointed me... when I saw this story labeled as a "hot read" I though I would give it a shot~ -and this is what I was presented with.

story- Very predictable, nothing unexpected, in fact every time something happened I though to myself, "saw that coming". There is nothing original in this story. The pace is slow and I got board. I only kept reading because I was hoping the plot might actually do something!

art- The art was fine, although... most of the girls looked really similar to each other and that kinda bugged me. -but the art was decent.

characters- (below) v

Shuusei- This ... is the male main character in the story. He is cold, uncaring, and dense. Later on though, he develops feelings for Aoi. He becomes a little protective at times and he teases her a lot. 17 chapter in and still next to no development on his part.

Aoi- Our female lead on the other hand is nice, good at cooking, naive, and caring. She has a good personality... other then the part where SHE CANT MAKE UP HER MIND. First few chapters she hates Shuusei, then he moves in next door. Now she kinda likes him but tells herself it wont work. So she wants him to keep his distance, then she wants him closer, back and forth! She's also really easily manipulated be other people to the point where it pathetic...

Overall, I was really disappointed with this manga. So if you looking for a shallow and predictable romance shoujo then look no further. =D

review time with Faisa!!

story~ 8
The part i found the most interesting is that the main character "sleeps" for a hundred years at a time only to wake up for 10 days to try and accomplish his goal, getting the other half of his heart back. To me that just sounds like a really vexing task.. ^^'
-and i wouldnt be much of a story if he was able to accomplish this task after the first 100 year nap, so you can guess that it takes him a few tries, aka quiet a few hundred years... weather he reaches his goal or not, i dont know ... (and i wouldnt tell you).
The plot is interesting and fairly unique~ ^^

Art~ 8
I like the art in this manga. It reminds me a little of the art from "Break Blade". Its well drawn and it portrays the story well.

Character~ 7
I get attached to main characters VERY easily. And i love it when the author make you feel like your in the main characters shoes or like you always standing right next to them. This story dosent do that too well. When reading this i feel like im on a cliff with a pair of binoculars. -and i think the villain could stand to be a little more villainess too~ so the character wernt all that impressive in this story...

I am a pansy when it comes to giving low scores to anime/manga. I feel bad when i do so i usually try to be optimistic about everything. So if by the end of the story my opinion has not changed, i give this manga a 7. If it does change, i will change my review accordingly. ^^

This is my first review for a manga series. I just started really getting into manga and i really hope my review helps you out in some way!

ok, ill start out with the story.

story (9). The story may sound a little genaric when you first read the summery but it is so much more then it may seem. when I first read the summery i thought to myself, wow yet another ' person has a tragic childhood and somehow gets a great power and keeps it a secret while becoming a undercover superhero, at the same time trying to exact revenge on his parents ... killers! Well, after seeing the cover of the manga i just couldnt help picking it up after seeing how hot the main character is! XD but thats just me lol. Although the story may seem a little pradictable at times it always manages to add a twist where you least expect it! It combinds law enforcment with supernatural monsters and creatures (some are good) and a hero to balence it out. overall i think the story is great!

Art (10). The art in this manga is very good! is clear detailed and flowing. One thing i will say though is that sometimes there is soo much going on in a panel that it can be hard to tell what going on, but if you have more experience in manga it might be easier for you then for me lol. overall i thought the art was great and nerver lacked!

character (9). For the mot part the characters in arago are well developed. some of the characters how ever may be slightly lacking but overal its pretty well done. every character is uniqe and spercial. I cant really ay weather the characters are under-developed or not because the stary is still being published and i have only read 44 chapters. but so far so good as far as the characters go! =D

enjoyment (10). i am enjoying this manga very much and i anticapate the comming of each new chapter! the only complaint i have about thin manga is how darn short each chapter is!!! they are only around 20 pages each chapter and it bugs me sooo much!! >.
