(If you read and liked "Hanatsuki hime" you will most likely enjoy "Ipaasha", and vice versa.)
Overall - For a one-shot, Ipaasha was very well thought-out and the characters were developed at just the right pace. One of the main reasons I liked this manga so much was I couldn't predict the end! This is one of those [few] mangas where you can just relax, go with the flow, and let the ending surprise you.

Story - Good story, quite original in some aspects. Everything went very smoothly and there was no loose ends.

Art - OUTSTANDING! I rarely rate art a 10, ... but when I do, it's definitely beautiful and pleasing to the eye. You'll be addicted from the first page!

Character - again, the characters had to develop quickly, because of the story's length, but nothing happened too quickly.

Enjoyment - 10+!!!! I wish I knew of more mangas like this one!

Because it was about the beautiful violin, I had to fall in love with it. The ghost element was also to my tastes and overall, I suppose I'm happy with the story, but I didn't feel an overwhelming love for it to put all manga love to shame. It's shoujo and supernatural, so I guess you can't expect it to make perfect sense, but I wish the author had made things a bit more clear. I loved the idea of "what if" and "regret", but the story isn't a downer, so it's not something to immediately doubt reading; there's a happy ending. It is a ... one-shot, so it's understandable why the author couldn't put more into the characters, but you can still understand how they thought.

This is a worth read manga. The stories could stand individually because they show different plot lines and unpredictable plot that makes you want to continue reading.

Story: 10

Kamisama no Sonata
The way the story started is typical but the second it continued is amazing. It was enchanting on how it started and ended. There are parts when it gets a little bit confusing (maybe because of the theme of the plot) but it gets clear as you reread it again. It is inspiring that it captivated one's heart.

Mahoroba no Yobigoe
The story circled on two worlds, the present and the past through time travelling. Filled with historical ... theme. See how the past is related to the present time.

Ipaasha
Set in a small desert country. This story has a mysterious feel to it. A little bit short but the ending is somewhat satisfying.

Taiyou mo Wasure Sasete
Sadly, I can't find a copy of this one. Because the first three is awesome maybe this one too.


Art:10
This manga is wonderfully drawn. My eyes will never get tired of the art.

Character:10
Each character possesses a unique trait that differs to the others. They have a realistic portrayal of emotions and you could feel it from them. I like the characterization of each character. I couldn't ask for more.

Enjoyment:10
I like this manga..no it should be I love this manga. In fact I've reread it multiple times at it never fails to captivate me over and over again. It was not overly dramatic.

Overall:10
These oneshots will leave an impression in your heart.

This is for those readers who love one shots and heart warming manga with awesomely beautiful art.

Hope this helps ^^
