Earl and Fairy is the story of Lyda Carlton,a fairy doctor, whose claim of being able to see fairies has earned her the title of 'Crazy lady'. Well, not really an official title, but everyone who sees her tends to think that.
Now insert Edgar Ashenbert, a wanted man who's looking for a valuable sword, accompanied by a guy with a warrior inside him and a girl whom we don't get to find much about. Only thing is, to get the sword, he needs to be able to see fairies and solve a riddle. Unfortunately for him, he lacks this fairy-doctor skill.
That's where Lydia comes in to help (not without, of course, her own terms that she'd like fulfilled).
This was a pretty light read, considering the few chapters that have been scanlated. It's not without its good qualities, however. Allow me to list them:
Art: The art style was very elegant and clean, which was rather fitting in front of the 19th Century England backdrop. I found it mildly easy to mimic the style for drawing characters, but not so much the backgrounds. Even though I had trouble replicating the backgrounds, they were simplistic and clean, which was favorable.
Enjoyment: I enjoyed reading this and marveling at the beautiful way the characters were drawn. When an exciting and heart-thumping scene was introduced, it was indeed heart-thumping. Among these were the romantic scenes (though few) between Edgar and Lydia and the fighting scenes.
Story: The story is an obvious plus of this manga. It's not very often you get to find a storyline where there's romance, a mystery, some humor, and even adventure. This manga had all of that.
Overall, I liked it, and it was very good. Not really something I'd recommend to those looking for something fun to keep them busy (at least not until there are more chapters out). Cute and light.
