First off, I will edit this review if necessary as the episodes go along, so stay tuned! I quite like Iron Man, and hope this will turn out well. I've dropped the score from a 9 to an 8.

Story: The story seems promising, with plenty of room for good development if done well. However, it seems to revolve around the premise where people keep wanting to steal Tony Stark's technologies, as with the live-action movies of Iron Man 1 & 2. Something different would have been better, but I guess there's always people who want that kind of technology. *shrugs* As of episode 2 ... onwards, the anime shows that Tony's chest having the glow of the core, so the producers did thankfully try to make the anime as close as the movie.

Art: I felt it was decent and the designs of the suits and characters were quite good.

Sound: The opening and ending themes for this anime was just music, instead of the regular openings that contained lyrics. This was a rather refreshing change and I personally liked the opening and ending music as they brought different tempos and the sense of urgency at times. Sound effects were excellent, but again die-hard Iron Man fans won't hear the more awesome live-action movie sound effects of the repulsor rays, but a remixed version of the sound effect.

Character: This was the more disappointing part for me, personally. Character introductions were not done as well as I would have liked, and the introduction of a certain female lead felt too abrupt. (I'm sure you all can figure it out by yourselves!)

Enjoyment: The first episode made my heart race and I was quite entertained throughout. The fight scenes felt good, and the little cliffhanger at the end of the episode made me want to watch the next episode. However, given the fact that Tony has to fight a new Zodiac sign at episode 2, one can guess he has 10 more signs to fight. This reduced the suspense the anime could have given to the viewers and thus reduced my overall enjoyment.

Overall: As I've stated earlier, it does look promising. I do hope the next few episodes will help shape up this anime to be one of the more well-liked anime in this current season!

This is a relatively new manga I've come across while browsing for new mangas to read, and the storyline is quite a refreshing experience for me.

If you're looking for a realistic manga, you may not find this too realistic because it's not an everyday thing to be able stranded on an island with a hot girl and being nice to you and all. However, if you read it without being too critical, it'll draw you right in to the whole plot, making the reader hungering for more.

Though I had said earlier that the setting wasn't very realistic, this manga tries to however potray real ... life emotions and the dilemma a guy faces in a relationship and being alone with a hot girl. :D It is indeed quite amusing to see Yamada struggling with his feelings while trying to look after himself and Imaise. Meanwhile, I find that Imaise's behaviour is just quite similar to the girls I've known - cute, kind, but also at times unfathomable. :/

All in all, one can consider reading this manga, and see how it much it reflects in your own life. Although only 5 chapters have been published, I can already relate some of the situations shown in the manga in my life, thus making me enjoy the manga even more. Okazaki Takeshi has laid a good foundation, it now remains to be seen whether he can build a magnificent plot from this foundation!
