Here we have a harem manga that starts off with a bit of a twist; I'm not talking about the part where Yamato, the main character, joins a school that until the year before was for just girls. We can all name several that start like that. Unlike the typical harem, Yamoto isn't a goody-two-shoes who's nice to everyone. He's a man. He has a pair. And he isn't afraid to stand up for himself.

So then, on to the review...

Story: 6 -I've already given a little bit of background, so here's the short: the freshness of the series starts to fade after chapter 10 or read more

Open Sesame was at best an average story with a mediocre ending. The story starts out typically with a bold boy joining a school that had recently turned coed. That's about as interesting it's going to get.

Story: 5- The story is frustrating. The author set a great tone by having the boy vs. girl theme throughout the first few chapters, but dramatically changes into them doing random things together without enough reasons.

That being said, the chapters were long, and not in a good way. Having long chapters can lead to character development, plot twists or advancements, and even more dialogue. Sadly enough read more

The manga was really great and enjoyable. It's more or less just your typical harem series where the females get attracted to the main protagonist and have their closure after a while. What really was bothering me was one of the main heroine(Aoi) not having her closure at all. I mean she is one of the main characters from the beginning and having her disappear suddenly is really a big shock.

The tragic factor is not as great as I thought but that's what keeps me reading the entire manga. Too bad it was not much of a development as I have hoped it will.

Open Sesame Is A Very Nice Read If You Ask Me.

After that,He transfered schools to Tokyo from Nami island meeting one of the FP Mogami Maki who he happens to meet when having an incident when he just arrived at Tokyo and starts to go to an all-girls school which just turn coed in the year he joined. read more
