Firstly, this manga hits deep and hits home to many investors and traders such as me.
FX Senshi Kurumi-chan depicts the *psychological* aspects of market trading in an entertaining matter, allowing people that have less knowledge in the field to easily understand specific concepts more.

Unfortunately, for people who've never invested or traded with their money, I'd say it would be quite challenging to relate to Kurumi-chan and her experiences.

The story was slow, and there really wasn't a core theme or aspect that connected the plot together. However, this notion makes perfect sense because the point of FX Senshi Kurumi-chan isn't the plot- it's an entertaining and ... education peek at the psychology and some emotions of what an average person may experience when investing. Also, FX Senshi Kurumi-chan may not seem like it at first, but it dives very deep and illustrates irl situations in which risky investing can harm individuals forever.

Overall, the art was top-notch and correlated really well to what Kurumi-chan and secondary characters experienced in different chapters. It contradicts negative stereotypes of trading markets. The emotions underlying the candles and charts most people associate with trading is elevated and beautifully represented with art and pictorials.

Upon deeper analysis, the characters are perfect representations of both negative and positive external influences investors may come across. Concepts such as "this is not financial advice", DYOR, economic and market theory, common investing strategy, leverage, and others are depicted through secondary characters and Kurumi herself.

Kurumi is actually an amazing MC due to the fact that her psychological experiences hit home. High leverage trading, the blurred line between investing and gambling, and especially greed are relatable through Kurumi. The amazing art further builds on these notions and psychology.

That was deep. The manga shows the reality of trading, how it's so easy to fall into a gambler's mindset and chase money, even as far as taking debt to chase back your losses.

It shows how you can't trust others in financial decisions and that everything is your responsibility.

It also uses real-life events and charts such as the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and the Swiss unlimited interventions, and various other economic news, which gives life to the story.

10/10 would recommend, I'd really love to see an anime adaptation of it, but it's too niche for that.
There aren't a lot of shows about trading, and this was ... a pretty unique one I've read.
