Of course I would be tempted into reading a story like this. And of course no matter how predictable it's been I like it so far - it reminds me of Ancient Magus Bride with its beast relationship, and Karasu with its fantasy racism, after all.

I'm like a fucking teenage girl with these shoujo. Well I'll take it - if I can keep reading/watching these kinds of heartwarming moments and relationships, call me Mary-Lee for all I care.

However predictable (and even cliche) it is, there's so many feel good moments and characters I care about, backed by some history of the beast/human fantasy world. It's exactly my type of story, and I'm really liking it right now.

Chapter 26 was especially good - up until this point I wanted to see more of Anubis, and with that chapter not only does he get a backstory, the king gets more backstory too and Anubis's loyalty to him becomes perfectly clear.
And again in chapter 32 - when Amit gets heartbroken but Saliphie convinces her to give the charm to Jormungand anyways, and it's so sweet. Ammit has gotta get together with Jormungand. It's gotta happen!

Hoping for an anime of this in the future.

Same details as anime.

Though the manga came after the anime, as soon as I read the manga I loved it. The comedy in the anime was thrown in your face and screamed at you that it was funny, whereas the manga just seems more focused and certainly more serious than the anime, though it does have its share of nonsensical funny parts. The message in FLCL is about growing up, and while it never struck me in the anime I actually felt it in the manga - and more importantly, I felt like the characters went through something and changed. WAY better than the anime.

Same as anime.

I picked this manga up at random when I thought the art looked familiar. I found out quickly that it was done by the same person who worked on House of Five Leaves, which I've seen a bit of already. The story fits and contradicts the title, Not Simple is simple in the sense that it could be categorized as slice of life/drama about ordinary people. At the same time though it is not simple at all, because the main character Ian's family is all kinds of messed up. It's interesting and sad, and Ian's life feels like a horrible possibility that could occur to anyone who simply has bad luck in life.

Meh. Interesting ideas, don't care much about characters, what's going on, etc.

Very, very short. It's Lain, but it doesn't really add anything.

Wolf's Rain attempted to be condensed into 2 volumes. 2 volumes? This was a pretty bad idea.

Wow that's bad.

I love Yume Nikki as a game - have for the past 7-8 years, but this manga is just terrible. It looks like it might be half decent for the first couple chapters, and then by chapter 5 it gets worse and worse. All dialogue is meaningless, there's no cohesion to the game rules and world following chapter 5 - there's nothing at all to care about, really, because the story it attempts is disastrous.

As for the art, the characters look real bad. Backgrounds are fine.

If you love the game Yume Nikki, skip this atrocity.
