For starters, I actually think that this scenario is very likely to happen in real life, but this author has such an original way of telling it, I recommend this Manga for those of you who like tabooed love.
I feel that both the beginning and especially the ending were a little rushed. The introduction of characters were fine, but the character development happened too quickly. The ending had many gaps and much more could have been added to the story, but don't let that discourage you from reading it for yourself.

Story:It was a pretty generic shoujo manga story but if you like shoujo then you'll enjoy it. However, it was kind of a depressing story for me overall but that seemed to give it a sense of authenticity.
Art: Well everyone looked way to similar for my taste but otherwise the art was pretty great. Especially all the extra pages, they always had really intricate clothing (the art in the actual manga was not to complex). Character: Main characters seem to have the usual shoujo boy and girl types. Characters not overly developed but you can get a sense of what a persons reaction would be ...

Story: The story was written wonderfully. The author made it really realistic; I could see it happening in real life, because it gave so much details and information about how the person felt and how the other felt. The situations that were in the story were very good too, because as I wrote before it was realistic. I haven't ever come anything like this either so I thought it was very original and enjoyable.
Art: The author did a good job on the art too; the characters didn't look much the same and the scenery was beautiful. It had everything you could see in real life. ...

I have to accept that at the beginning i did not think that this manga was going to be good, the synopsis that they have written for this manga is not really exiting.
However, when i got pass the first chapter i really began to enjoy the story. I think the main reason why i really liked the manga was because of takeru, the male character. He is the sort of tough person, who has a tough appearance, but when we begin to know him, he is sweet. I read it in 1 day, it was easy to follow and enjoyable. It isn't one of ...

***Story:***
I realy liked the story because it is about a girl who cares too much about her enemies. She definitely could be called an idiot: she is always looking after people who are against her and helping her rivals. That makes main plot more interesting and emphasises that kind of "brother-love" story among other thousands of it. That question "who is the devil here?" along all the story spices it, too. I also liked doubt included in their feelings and storys atmosphere. Its just a pity that the beginning is too fast: male leads personality changes with instancy of flash so do female leads feelings - and for ...

I loved this manga. Actually it's my favourite, no doubt. A serious plot but with funny moments; beautifull draws and characters; intelligent girls; real situations, a good love history between a girl and a boy.
Their parents are in love so they have to live together, but it isn't de tipycal history with a stupid girl and stupid situations. You'll love the characters ^_^ There's drama in the history? Only a little bit. Sorry, my english isn't very good :'(

I really liked this cliche, shoujo manga. The story was kinda predictable, even though some parts shocked me and got me moving with the story, I was still sometimes bored.. and wanting the story to be over. However I did like the artwork and how the artist detailed some of the characters. The characters were pretty detailed and they almost made me visualize them as real people in some parts, in my opinion I can tell the artist worked very hard to create such characters. I'm disappointed to say that I didn't like how she mostly only detailed one character down to specifics.... I did

Where do I even start? I bought this anime just because I liked the title (lame, I know). Upon whizzing through the first book, I returned to the manga store and bought the next four books. I should probably point out that I absolutely hate reading. And, there I was, gobbling down these mangas like they were candy. Anyway, I woofed the next four down and found myself craving more. So, of course, I returned and bought out the rest of the entire series. I swear, I just couldn't put the manga down. It's the only series

I truly enjoyed this manga. It sucked me in right from the start. When I read the summary my first thought was "Oh great. This will just be another boring forbidden love story." but man was I wrong. The art was beautiful and the story was amazing. It was really realistic. But what amazed me the most was the characters and their relationship. Yeah the characters developed slightly faster than normal but I thought it all worked out. It was like I was living the story. There were so many times that I was either laughing out loud or was bawling my eyes out.

This manga is still so good even after reading it many years after, the reason is because all of the situation that resided in the manga seem very likely to happen in real life. The author simply didn't sugarcoat too much with like what other Shoujo manga does, but it focused more on realism with how the characters react or what the characters do, those are what made me appreciate the manga in the long run.
The last few chapters of the manga showed the growth of the characters, which I liked because they all seemed to have resolved their problems throughout the story. +1 because ...

After 15 years I decided to come back to Akuma de Soro out of pure nostalgia.
I had initially read it in high school, during a time when social media didn’t exist, and you had to use magazines to find people to talk about anything. Going back to this manga felt like jumping back in time, and it reminded me of so many things, first and foremost Hyde, the famous celebrity that way too early took his life, which Takeru (one of the main characters) was inspired from. It’s weird how some of these incredible artists can live on in time through different media. Gone but ... |
