I think this manga is the best that I ever read...
the story is outstanding,funny, and the thing that the player do is really possible
I very"like this manga but I wonder why the author only write one manga and it's a little short...
but still it's enjoyable. so pls read it if you think it will be good

Really?

That's the first word that comes into my mind as I think about this manga. We can see it tagged firstly as a comedy. I mean it tries, it really does. But when I read a comedy, is it so much to ask that I laugh? Maybe if I was high (and I mean REALLY high, like so messed up I smoke the wrong end just for fun) it would be funny. Any other time and....0_0

STORY: Do you remember that piece of bread that fell to the bottom of the pantry that you never bothered to clean up? Remember using it 6 months later to ... cut diamonds? Yeah, the story's that stale. The whole "magic girl" thing has been tried WAY too many times. Sometimes, like in Ah my goddess, it can be pulled off. But no, it falls on its ass and doesn't even try to save face.

ART: Dreadful. Really, it's the worst looking manga to ever grace my computer screen. You know the old saying "If you put a monkey in front of a typewriter it'll eventually write Shakespeare"? Well I think they actually did it. Only they pulled the pages away after the first draft/shit stain. UGLY!!!

CHARACTERS: The main female lead is named Milky for God's sake! WTF!! It's actually a good name for her if you think about it. She's not quite transparent because of all the random attempts at comedy the author tries to use her for, but she's one dimensional. "Milky" all the way through.

As for the other characters, I can't even find a personality. They act erratically and without and kind of...sense. Maybe that's the writer's kind of humor but it sure as hell isn't mine? I don't read manga when I'm baked. Not everything's funny. Deal.

ENJOYMENT: Hmm... maybe I enjoyed it when I stopped reading. Kinda like hitting your toe with a hammer now that you mention it...

Really, there's no redeeming value of any kind to be found in the manga. There isn't a story, the art sucks, the characters are only there to support the author's comedy that only appeals to stoners. There's a million better things to read than this fail of a manga. Oh! Here's one! Click that helpful button down below!

Utter garbage.


The background is Hiroyuki, a high schooler whos just started living alone, finds Milky Way, a demon, inside his house. She asks him to become his servant and, out of a desire to not be lonely he agrees. This should be the start of an interesting plot that explores the unique servant-master relation between Hiroyuki and Milky. Instead, this relation is forgotten within two chapters and only brought back as a convenient plot point. Although, calling anything in this story as "plot" is being generous.


Plot is non-existent. No character develops in way way throughout the manga. There is no underlying problem throughout the series. ... Even the romance and harem aspect is only teased as a problem until the last five or so chapters. Each chapter of slice-of-life develops little off the previous chapter. Any time the story looks like it picks up on plot, the next chapter will ruin that tempo.


Every character is either unlikeable or boring. Hiroyuki is an ass. Milky Way has no personality. Makoto is annoying and forgotten halfway through the story. And so on, there is no character one can genuinely like and root for.


The art is appaling. Few pages have background. Character expressions do not match their faces. Half the time, the emotions shown by characters and their dialogue do not match. This feels like a draft piece rather than a good copy.


The only thing this manga has is that the ending is half-decent. This series is not worth the readers time; it certainly wasn't worth mine.


2/10.
