"Why did everyone just accept this bird that came out of nowhere?! Are you trying to tell me that I'm the weird one here?"
- Minami Ryo, Chapter 20
What is there to say about this short series that hasn't already be said in its synopsis?
Emperor to Issho is cute, it is fun, and it is as ridiculous as the premise implies. The short and episodic nature of the story means that it isn't trying to make anyone take it seriously. It fits perfectly in the 'slice of life' genre despite this element though. The lack of overly grand moments makes it more a human story than I would have thought it could be.
The art is pleasant to look at; conveying the comedic moments well while not overloading the panels with too much imagery. The colouring works to also emphasise the emotions of Emperor; sacrificing neither its stoic appearance nor the understanding that the reader has.
It is a fun, short series that somehow ends in the perfect way. Just don't go in expecting any answers as to why there is a penguin in the fridge.
