(really a 9.5 but meh) Note: there are traps, men and women.

have you ever read a story but felt there was a little too little material? just not enough to interest you? nothing really happening?

well this, (a trap series) uses traps in a magical setting with cute girls? and handsome guys? with a romantic feel so it's really nice.

the art is beautiful; pretty much what I want our world to be,

this is a series with more of a serious feel with traps. serious as in it has a plot, not this feels depressing as heck.

overall, this is a good fantasy romance. if you don't ... like traps, pretend they are girls ( or guys.... well the boyish ones).

IMO its one of the better trap manga, on the top with idol pretender ( the dude was cool ... right? )

well. go ahead and read it:) (oh and thank hachimitsu scans.)

Ok. if you watched the first season you might as well watch this too.

in fact, it is quite amusing.

The protagonist opens the episode declaring he is a lolicon ( yes, I thought it was an error too ). unfortunately ( for me anyway ) this episode focuses on origami, and tohka.

The art is as crisp as ever and the song ( especially the introductions ) were quite pleasing.

if anything is lacking, I'd say it's the characters but you should be ready for a static tohka and origami, after watching season 1.

... as ever, tohka is lacking in brainpower - " do you hate me shidou? "

and origami is apathetic and kind of weird- "woof"

Well, if anything was the best, I'd say I liked shidou trying to get rid of origami ( sadly...)

Watch it! it will be a good memory refresher before season 2.

also notice the metaphor of kotori with her ribbons. its noticeable this episode ( if you noticed before, congrats!)

the central character in every story is the protagonist. However, many authors simply incorporate an unstable protagonist or even omit the protagonist. Though the story can still be enjoyable, it would be be tantamount to eating simply cream rather than Ice cream... if you know what I mean ( if you don't go and put the ice cream in the microwave. not pretty ).

If anything is the most enjoyable part about of this manga, it is the protagonist. He uses his wits and reminds me of both Keima from TWGOK and lelouche. He notices he most minuscule of details and uses his rhetoric to ... convince others to act a certain way.

Also the premise is quite fun, and more details should be elucidated along the way ( there is a simple motive but there is probably a deeper theme ). I personally like these stories where a protagonist has a goal like this as it prevents the author from requiring girls falling from the sky, a strong bond from the past or something. Sure, it isn't the most effective means but it certainly isn't awful.

The art? Fabulous. Each character is drawn beautifully, as fitting for a story that isn't focused on fighting or comedy.

Enjoyment. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The psychology is really good as well, though I doubt its effectiveness in reality ( try it! ). It teaches you to notice that someone had a little thing going on yesterday or how to coerce your friend to make you food ( now this is gold. I saved it to my photo album ).

If you are seeking what this manga offers, you will be impressed at it. However, it is by no means a detective Conan.
key words- search, imouto, psychology, father, debt, several heroines

It is a shame to see no review for this manga so I decided I'll try to convey my feelings so you don't simply decide to not read it due to its tags.

Is it ecchi? a bit, but not to love ru. mostly for comedy such as - you are the coach so you can't see us as women.

No, you do not need to like sports or understand pro wrestling. heck, I dislike almost all sport anime cause I'm jealous that I can't do such things ( so I did 10 pushups while reading this manga). the selling point is the character relations ... and the events.

basically pro wrestling is like battling in normal manga. fighting with hammers and out of ring takes place too ( heel vs something? you'll learn:P )

story. it actually has a really touching story. the protagonist loses his memory and works at el palacio (Spanish?) as a manservant . he does NOT have a harem, does NOT randomly pull clothes down and such retarded yuuki rito actions ( the idiot lead from to love ru )

the art isn't stellar but is acceptable. basically like the cover

characters- a great variety. their interactions are the main point of the story ( looking forward to their pasts , interactions, why are they at el palacio? etc. )

Enjoyment
I liked it, I read it in one sitting and felt good about it.

overall
definitely worth a test try. one may call this a hidden jewel. if I had to make an analogy it would be a rusty car that runs well. you'd think it'd break down but it doesn't

Thanks for reading . I hope you try (and enjoy it) Disfrutar!

I was attracted by the beautiful art and gave it a try, despite the synopsis sounding like a trite story about a group of people watching movies and a robot that watches movies with them.

However, the story is so much more.

If I had to sum it up, these robots want the protagonist's seed because of it may be able to create soldiers and there were two people who were sent to protect him.

This is better than most harems in my opinion because the story is somewhat coherent.

Also, the protagonist is far from cool but isn't that annoying.

The fights are quite fun and the ... possibility of more allies from the future to counter the past and the truth in the future makes this story quite enticing.

Perfection? hardly. a fun romcom battle harem manga? yes

it's a good break from intense thinking activities. Try it, you have nothing to lose!

Do you hate pointless fanservice?
Well you aren't alone. Our protagonist here fights this world of panty shots, boobs and such with only his martial arts and his gut.
Secret technique of the ape! put on some pants woman...

But seriously. that's the general synopsis.

why is this great?

non perverted protagonist
many bad asses (especially our mc, understanding one should develop both brain and body)
... pretty good art ( some characters are pretty, some ugly, some ugly for comedy, at least some characters will suit you)
Awesome humor ( dude fighting vs fan service. Nuff said )
raging battles combined with comedy and fan service negation

Why may one shy away?

well to fight against fan service, there must be a bit of it at least ( mostly for humor )
a wide range of characters means some may not be your favorite ( cough second and third year leaders )
may not be family friendly
battle oriented not romance oriented

One should definitely try this manga out as it has many novel aspects and is very enjoyable ( for me ). Reading a chapter can bring a smile to a gloomy day. Manly battles with humor, fan service ( negation ) and cute moments. What are you waiting for? ( maybe a gloomy day to be cheered up on:P ).

I personally recommend this to be read alone, not at a library or cafe to avoid a tinge of compunction. but hey, if you like doing stuff like that go ahead. freedom eh?

Have you ever wished to be someone other than yourself? A person of the opposite gender, a wealthy billionaire or be more athletic.
A second chance in living raises a bunch of opportunities, and allows one to take actions that they may have been unable to do otherwise.

This manga is nothing short of a masterpiece. Through a beautiful introduction, it shows the friendship between two boys, only to have one of them die, not knowing if his friend truly appreciated his efforts. His friend's simple wish, to marry a wife and live an average life, could not be fulfilled with him. So then he becomes ... a ghost and possess the daughter of a celebrity, trying to suicide under the pressure of her life.

Well that's the synopsis, recapped but it doesn't exactly explain how and why it is a "masterpiece".

Firstly, the characters. As many may agree, characters are the main course of the meal. Without noteworthy and enjoyable characters, it is difficult to construct a good manga. The characters in this story are absolutely fantastic. A girl who actually understands that the ghost possessing her is doing good, a popular playboy who actually has feelings for his friend ( he's in a girl's body so it isn't gay... I guess? ), and a detective who fell in love with the ghost possessed portion of the girl. Their interactions are interesting and help develop the story without boring fanservice and such. Also they are all very lovable ( except for the detective kid, but he's amusing ) and realistic ( if you get past the fact that there are ghosts ).

The story premise, as you've read in the synopsis is really interesting. Possession, romance and the other genres this manga circumspects are very enjoyable. In addition, it takes trite settings such as an amusement park and adds a bit of spice to it. In the amusement park, the ghost actually sets up a date between the girl and his friend to get them closer, while needing to cancel the meeting with the detective. However, the detective is able to figure out that it was actually the ghost but the ghost took over the girl's body... Well you get the point right? Spoiling is really terrible so that's where I'll conclude the story explanation

The art is very pretty and facilitates the enjoying of the manga. No complaints there.

This is one of the most enjoyable manga I have ever read. Sadly I can't find any more chapters so I'll probably buy it online or something. Its romance develops beautifully and cutely.

Overall, as one of my favorite manga, I would say this a must read for people who enjoy romance with a twist. What are you waiting for? Read it!

PS sorry if I made any mistakes, feel free to tell me. I actually read this about a month ago but felt the need to spread this manga to fellow manga lovers.

This is great. It is about a person who supposedly has visions of the future and gets out of the visions suddenly, as quickly as he gets in. He does not have power over when to have those visions nor when to leave it. Thus, it results in hilarious situations and he tries to "change his future". Also, he is a really big loser, along with other friends which also benefits the humor. Though this may not be for those who seek a deep story or a badasses MC, it is quite a humoress romantic comedy and definately will get you your worth of laughtor. ... I was reading this at a public library and I laughed so hard I almost got kicked out. Oh man, this is great. Try it

This is fantastic.

The art is cute, the story is funny and the characters are funny as well.

However, what makes this series stand out is its use of scientific explanations for how an old geezer turns into a young girl, how invisibility works as well as how erections occur. It is partially blocked out so you have to guess parts of it but nevertheless it is amazing.

For example, it mentions how there are telomeres in DNA and chromosomes, REM (rapid eye movement), refraction of light and more. As someone interested in biochemistry, it is really exciting. But again, who doesn't enjoy knowing how things work and ... learning from manga ( I learned that the galaxy was 100k light years long from AKB49 ).

Lastly, I would like to mention how much I enjoy transformation stories and the havoc that ensues. If you enjoy science, transformations and humor, give this a try. Yay scientific manga :P

The super cute Ika musume strikes back again.

As many may be aware, Ova rarely contain much of a plot so there is not much progression.

Nevertheless, this OVA is hilarious, cute, and gives a new view for each characters ( not that much but ok ).

Pros-

Cute
light-hearted
... Can brighten your mood on a dim day
Funny
Longevity (haven't you heard laughing makes you live longer?)

Cons-

Well there really isn't much story and your not going to get your "brainteaser of the day". If you want that, go to some detective site and try to solve the mystery ( I actually know people who do that ).

Basically, if you watched and enjoyed the original series and aren't seeking to criticize every single possible point such as "Squid people don't look like Ika musume", "aliens don't use magic" and "MIT people dont say 'don't mind'"(who knows? they might:P).

Alright, returning from my digression, as previously mentioned, watch for comedy, enjoyment, ebi and gesho purposes. If you haven't watched the preceding series, WATCH IT. But if you have and you enjoyed it (as you probably have, wandering here) WATCH THIS. All hail Ika musume! SHINRYAKU!

oh and the songs sound really cute. just wanted to point that out. and seiyuus, great!
