The story isn't great, but I don't think that it's bad, either. It's certainly not a waste of time, in my opinion, especially considering that the art is pretty good. Goraihou Gakuen e Youkoso doesn't have a "main" storyline as of volume 3, but plenty of manga don't (especially in the beginning). It's a cute read, and reminds me of CLAMP School Detectives with a supernatural twist.

This is a very enjoyable, albeit short, shipwrecked/apocalypse/survival manga. Like most shounen manga of this variety, almost all of the "good guys" are teens whose biggest enemy are adults, but this one is quite enjoyable. Although I wish it was a bit longer, it still has a good ending (which is better than a drawn-out manga, in my opinion).

It's good if you're looking for something that can be read within a day, and you're not looking for anything too deep or powerful.

Quite honestly, I was surprised by how much this manga drew me in. I find that it's usually only the very good, but little-known manga that have this kind of pull on people. Anything that I write probably won't do Hitsuji no Uta justice, but I'll try anyways.

The characters are extremly dynamic, and in a good way. Throughout the story, they change, mature, move forward, backwards, and forward once more. There is also nothing that is completely certain in this manga; it seems to lack the usual stereotypes and absolute courses of action that most manga are riddled with (not that ... they're bad, but something completely without them is somewhat refreshing). I'm not really that much of a fan of happily ever after, but this mixes tragedy and the happy ending together in a way that is satisfying for fans of both types.

I just picked it on a whim because I had read Toume Kei's Kurogane twice through, but the art wowed me all the same. It keeps the same darkness, but adds an extra sophistication by using cleaner lines.

Everything about this manga just overwhelms me; I really have trouble describing it. It's like one of those great finds at the bottom of the junk pile. When you're sick of reading mainstream like Naruto or Bleach, and have a taste for darker, more sophisticated manga, this won't dissapoint.
