Mixed Feelings

Very charming manga. Some people forget that this is a comedy manga, meaning the characters personalities are swtiched. Thats all it got, though. Not the best, but it got a couple laughs out of me, its also batshit insane. Charming artstyle as well. Not very focused on story too, but that is obvious considering its meant to not be taken seriously. but hey, new content is always fine for a layton fan. now if only someone fan translates the layton book trilogy

Overall, its a okay humor manga, only recommended if youre into the layton franchise, and would die for new content. 6/10

Not Recommended

Preliminary (1/42 eps)

I really was looking forward to the Professor Layton manga, but the characters are radically different from the games, completely exxagerated and unnecesary dumb, literally the entire opposite of their personality is present in this manga, which made me decide to drop it. I now understand why I was only able to obtain the first two chapters only. A complete letdown for what makes the Professor Layton series a great thing.

The art is really charming though, I like the style a lot,but would of love it better with the original personalities of the characters.

Not recommended under any circumstances. Even fan-stories are better.
