Synopsis

For as long as he can remember, Tomoki Sakurai has woken up crying to the same dream: an angel he has never met disappearing into the skies, saying, "The sky has captured me." But one day, the dream is different. Now, the angel descends from the skies, desperately asking Tomoki for his help.

After falling asleep in class, his childhood friend Sohara Mitsuki, wakes him up and notices the tears in his eyes. Worried, she has him consult Eishirou Sugata, their eccentric upperclassman who is obsessed with "The New Continent"—a flying anomaly whose existence no-one can explain. With the anomaly set to pass over their town, Sugata decides the trio should meet up at midnight in a bid to solve Tomoki's dream as well as gather more information on The New Continent. Being the only one who showed up, Tomoki is about to leave when an angeloid falls from the sky and binds herself to him, declaring him her master.

Shortly after, Sohara forces him to join the New Continent Discovery Club, whose sole member is Sugata. Together, they work to uncover the secrets behind The New Continent, angeloids, and the girl behind his dreams—but what they discover may be much more sinister than what anyone expected...

Everyone has a perverted side, whether they want to admit it. It’s a very fact of life that makes us human in every way to heighten our sexual desires in private or, in some cases, publicly. For us that are of the latter and are fans of anime, the ecchi genre has fueled that encompassing aura in our psyche that makes us like to see sexy and beautiful girls. There’s always that example that puts the rest to shame throughout the millions of ecchi manga. For me, Sora no Otoshimono comes to mind the most.

It’s important to realize that, with how typical ecchi is as read more

Sora no Otoshimono is a typical example of a manga that tries to do numerous different things at the same time. More importantly, it is also a not-so typical example of a manga that actually succeeds with all of those things just splendidly.

I’ve always enjoyed romance/ecchi comedies in manga but this one stands out a bit because, *drumroll*, it actually has a story! Yes, you heard me right, and a really solid one at that as well.

--Story--
Generally, Sora no Otoshimono has two different sides of it going on side by side progressively. On one hand we have the more serious, over-arching story about the mysterious read more

tl;dr: A comedic ecchi manga that has a surprising amount of depth and really good character development.

This manga like a lot of Minazuki Suu's works is misleading at first because it just seems like a simple ecchi gag manga. However, as it goes on it turns out to be quite a bit more. The comedy is very heavily centered around the protagonist being a perv that doesn't change his behavior at all despite his schemes and antics constantly resulting in him getting the living daylight beat out of him. However, within the scope of that, there's a good amount of variety to things wherein it never felt like the comedy started to get repetitive and furthermore felt like it was pretty high quality and hilarious throughout.

Something that helped with that is how things were structured, in that the the non-serious light hearted comedic portions are intermixed and flow incredibly well with the serious portions. Generally, the way things are structured is that things will be very light hearted for a while, and then something major will happen where things will get completely serious. Sometimes it's an abrupt shift and sometimes it'll be eased into, but regardless it's generally handled pretty well and keeps things interesting. After the serious part is over, it'll go back to being light hearted and the cycle repeats. However, there'll always be some sort of change or development from the serious portion that carries forward into the light hearted portion, such as a new character, a new power, or change in relationship. Thus, the plot manages to keep a general sense of the plot progressing and things changing while also always having new things to play with in terms of comedy during the light hearted portions. The plot has a surprising amount of depth. It deals with a lot of pretty deep themes, like the importance of freedom, the value in being able to dream, and whether things need to be 'real' in order to make one happy, and they're all written pretty competently and ultimately lead up to answers that are pretty different from most manga but are justified pretty well.

Just as strong is the cast of characters. The main character is interesting and likable, in that during the light hearted portions he's completely useless and just plays around badly which usually results in him getting beat up, but when things get serious he's really reliable and despite being just a human gets things done. The rest of the human characters are decent as well, but the other characters that are especially likable are the angeloids who while all generally being decent enough characters on their own, are really easy to get invested in due to the strength of their character arcs. The character development, which while essentially nonexistant in the protagonist, is incredibly strong in the various angeloids. That it would be so strong in the angeloids isn't that surprising because they start out as incredibly flat characters with no desires so there's a lot of room for growth, but it's still praiseworthy how well it was handled and it resulted in a lot of impactful moments, especially in the ending.

The ending in general was decent but with some issues that seem to stem from being rushed. It isn't rushed in that the conclusion feels forced or out of nowhere, in that it feels like all the major twists and such had been foreshadowed pretty well and it fits well into the narrative and explains essentially everything. So, it's not like the ending itself is the problem, but it seems to try to get through all of it way too quickly with a lot of aspects feeling like they didn't get dramatic enough revelations to have as much impact as they should have. Some may also have a problem in that it seems to be an open ending, but I think that fits well in a series like this. The art is also really good with great character designs and a style that works well with both the comedy and action.

I should really get around to reviewing mangas instead of just saying that the manga did it better while reviewing the anime version. Although, if I end up doing one for a series that has yet to see a finish line, then it acts more like a review journal because the review will have to be dated for all its updates for new chapters/volumes if I fall behind. Guess I'll just stick to mangas that are finished for now.

So here is a series that I have read through as many times as I've watched the anime series. Sora no Otoshimono, or Heaven's Lost Property, is a manga series that I read back in the beginning of my anime fascination. It is also the only manga to pull emotion out of me every time I read it. Let's fly through, this one shall we?

Story: 8

We all have desires and dreams. Some may have complex dreams, but others, like our main character Tomoki, simply dreams of living a quiet life in his little mountain town. I wouldn't blame him with a scenery like the one he is in. One day though, a storm hits and an angel crashes down in front of him. He takes her home and as he says along the way, his simple peaceful life is shattering before him. Now he must adjust to this new being living with him and must teach her to be more like a human.

I would say that the story is what really sells it for me, next to the characters themselves. The chapters may feel a little episodic but they also have a certain flow to them. But that's not to say that they really only focus on Rom-Com shenanigans, oh no. In fact, they actually have a lot of genuinely sad moments and happy ones as well. I would actually say that the comedic episodes are really there to simply balance the story out. It's a story about love, not pleasure, and is treated as such. I will admit, as much of a manly man from Manville as I am there are moments that made me feel really depressed and a few rarer occasions where I would shed a few tears. Again, even after already knowing the plot already. That is a really welled structured plot line.

Art: 8

It's great, really great in fact. The level on detail in each character and panel really brings out the emotion that is inside the dialogue. It's one of those scripts that doesn't need a voice actor's help to bring out more emotion in the scene. Although, I will say that the anime did do a good job in that department. What's better is that the chibi sprites they use in comedic scenes have just enough detail to bring the humor home. When it came to action scenes, the line effects looked great and gave the weapon or person an aura of power.

Character: 8

The second reason to my love of this series is, as I stated before, the characters. It's both a mixed bag and a generic one too, but this time not in a bad way. You see, they make a few characters basic archetypes but either add a little bit more, make that character entertaining to watch anyways, or both. Take Tomoki for example. He is just as dense as many Rom-Com male leads tend to be, but he is unique in the fact he is perverted but really kind-hearted to the point where he will get in front of danger for his friends. And even though he acts dense, his reason is actually believable enough that you wouldn't look at it as him being dense. And this is just one of many characters that has this kind of characterization. One of my favorite characters is Chaos. she was designed to be the newest and strongest angeloid in existence and was sent to kill the main crew under the explanation that the two that betrayed them were "Infected by Love". Unfortunately, she was never designed or taught the concept of love and now seeks to find out what love is before carrying out her mission. She soon becomes victim of the miscommunication game a few too many times and is sent down a dark path and you can't help but feel bad for her, even though she was a villain.

There are a few characters that don't get the detailed character treatment, but are entertaining all the same. One character I am not to much of a fan of is Mikako. She is a mob princess and now has a sadistic way of thinking that usually means bad luck for Tomoki. Honestly after about four or five plots to do him harm, it starts to feel old. Other than her, everyone else is cool.

Enjoyment: 10

It pulls on my heart strings and I love/hate it. Love it because it makes me feel for these characters, hate it because it pulls on my heart strings (I like to keep cool, calm, collective so as to always be able t react effectively). It is definitely a joy ride no short on laughs, cries, and drama. A title that will stick with me throughout my life. And to think I picked this up simply because I was curious about the title. I watched the anime version first and it's fair to say that I got hooked there. But you will have to read the review on the anime for my opinion on it.
