Lovesick Ellie, Volume 1

Today's manga post is on Lovesick Ellie, Volume 1 by Fujimomo. It is 180 pages long and is published by Kodansha. The cover has the two main characters on it being cute. The intended reader is someone who likes cute high school love stories. There is no foul language, mild sexuality, and no violence. The story is told from third person close of the Ellie. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- #PervyGirl Meets Two-Faced Boy
At her high school, she's Eriko Ichimura, the girl so boring no one remembers she exists. But online, she's "Lovesick Ellie," a brash and lusty alternate persona with quite a viral following! Ellie's favorite pastime? Spying on her handsome and perfect classmate Ohmi and spinning wild fantasies in the form of very thirsty tweets. But one day, quite by accident, Eriko learns that Ohmi isn't as perfect as she thought...and he discovers her secret to boot! What's ahead for this two-faced boy and pervy girl?

Review- A very cute story about first love. Eriko or Ellie, just a normal high schooler but she wants more and the more she wants is love. But pretending to have a boyfriend is more fun until she gets called out. So of course she lies. But when the boy she is lying about finds out, Ellie has to deal with him. He is not that bad, just a kid who wants to be left alone. Together they have to come to an understanding and start working towards each other. Very cute and I'm looking forward to seeing Ellie and Ohmi grow together. 

I give this manga a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. 

The Dragon Knight's Beloved, Vol. 3

Today's manga post is on The Dragon Knight's Beloved (Manga), Vol. 3 by Ritsu Aozaki (Artist) and Asagi Orikawa (Story). It is 178 pages long and is published by Seven Seas. The cover has Melissa, Hubert, and the blue dragon on it. As it is the third volume in the series, you need to have read the first two volumes of the manga to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes high fantasy, romances, and shojo manga. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close following Melissa. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- THE END OF THE POACHER’S ROPE
Melissa has been kidnapped! Eleanor and her servant are behind it, and both want to use her as bait for dragons Melissa cares for. However, each has a different plan for the dragons when they arrive. The safety of the wild dragons, especially the newborn king of dragons, is Melissa’s biggest concern. Any cry for help plays into Eleanor’s and the poachers’ plans. Hubert and the Dragon Knight Corps need to act quickly to save her before she is used against all the dragons in the valley!

Review- The manga starts with Melissa trying to get away and stop the dragons from panicking and destroying everything around them. The poacher's were using Eleanor for their own reasons and she is crushed by the betrayal. After Melissa is rescued, she has to deal with realizing that Herburt is serious about marrying her because the blue dragon has boned with her. I hope that we stop getting into the politics of dragons and their impact on the world around them. With how powerful dragons are, the empire wants more control of them and that puts Hubert and Melissa into their line of sight. A good volume but I want more from the plot, so I am curious about what's going to happen next. 

I give this manga a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. 

Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 10

Today's post is on Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 10 by Mika Yamamori. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Suzume and Mamura on it.

After spending the entire night agonizing over how to respond to him, she finally decides to give Mamura a chance. But soon after she makes her choice, Mr. Shishio throws her a curveball.

Review- Suzume has decided to not only move from Mr. Shishio but to give Mamura a chance. She knows that she is partly being unfair to Mamura as she still have feelings for Mr. Shishio. But Mamura understands that a relationship is going to take time and he knows that time is on his side. But Mr. Shishio also has to deal with being dishonest about his feelings too and that is a plot point. With only one volume left, I am anxious about how the story is going to end. Suzume is really good in this volume, she is more honest with herself and Mumura. She is really putting herself out there and I am rooting for her to the finish line. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

He uses his grandfather's connections to arrange a group trip to a hot spring that will help Aya heal. Aya is reluctant to go at first, but Mitsuki manages to change his mind. Can Hо̄jо̄'s star player really become friends with the rest of the guys...?

Review- Towa and Mitsuki have some good moments in this volume but the important thing in this volume is more understanding between Aya and Towa. They are both passionate players and have strong feelings for Mitsuki. Mitsuki has some important conversations with both and she gets more understanding of both boys. This series is very sweet without getting too sappy or too serious, just a nice story about young love, growing up and how sports brings people together. I look forward to the next volume. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. 

Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, Vol. 10

As the Celestial Warriors search for the scroll of the Four Gods, Takiko uncovers the truth about the prophecy that turned Uruki and his father into bitter enemies. But while they begin a new chapter in their adventures, Takiko struggles to conceal a terrible secret about herself from the Celestial Warriors...

Review- Takiko has returned and Uruki wants to marry her. But that would mean that Takiko cannot fulfill her destiny as the priestess. Because that would mean innocent people would continue to suffer, she refuses. Plus Takiko is hiding that she is dying from the Warriors, so the fate of the priestess doesn't brother her. Lots of plot happen in this volume as the story only has two more volumes after this one. Takiko finally meets Uruki's father and learns about this prophecy told upon his birth and the truth behind it. All the main actors are coming together and time is running out for the Warriors and Takiko, I look forward to seeing this all the way to the end. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Su-won and the Kohka army arrive to participate in a summit with Xing, but Priest Gobi’s anti-war faction members attack Princess Kouren! Can the nation of Xing achieve peace with all this infighting threatening its foundation?

Review- The priest Gobi is making his move and is trying to kill Princess Kouren and take the Dragon Warriors hostage. Because they are so far from the castle in Kohka, they are not healing. Yona and Hak are having to balance protection and pushing for peace. Su-Won does come and things are handled peaceful to some of his advisors displeasure. The advisors also want to kill Yona and destroy or control the Dragon Warriors. The big thing in this volume is that Hak admits his feelings to Yona and in front of everyone. I like all the plot and character movement in this volume and I am hope that this continues in the future. I am looking forward to the next volume and seeing the fallout of everything from this one. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

From the back of the manga- When Hana’s childhood friend Okamon confesses that he’s in love with her, Hana goes into a total panic! Can she possibly return his feelings? And once Takane finds out, all bets are off on how he’ll react to the news!

Review- Okamon's confession throws everything out of balance for Hana and Takane. She had no idea about how he felt and she has to process what she thinks and feels about him too. Takane has to think about those feelings too, as Okamon tells him too. But they fight it out and decide to continue with their relationship as it is. This volume has some serious moments but the comedy is still main focus. Hana continues to be the main force of change in this series, and she moves everything along with her. Takane is becoming more adult-like in his thinking and actions, he really considers what having this odd relationship with Hana could do to her future and he doesn't want to harm her in anyway. Good volume and I look forward to more. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Review- So much happens in this volume. The ghost of Kyutaro's mother explains what happened 10 years ago and why Fumi's memories had to be taken. The great sickness was an old evil spirit and he wants to infect people with his evil. What his other plans are, is still unknown but I'm sure that he has greater plans. But knowing what happened, has freed Fumi and Kyutaro to take action and move towards the future. Also they can finally talk about their feelings for each other. This has been my favorite volume so far and I hope that this energy will continue into the future plot. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

But she can't leave her other life behind. And while Takiko struggles to cool her still-burning heart, the Celestial Warriors battle through a new ice age!

Review- Back in her own world, Takiko tries to be normal but discovers that she has the same disease that killer her mother. So facing the fact that she is going to die either way, Takiko chooses to go back to Uruki and the Warriors. I'm not sure how I feel about that plot twist with Takiko going to die not matter what. I feel that makes her future sacrifice less emotional because there is no other way for the story to end. But I am going to see this story to the end and maybe I will feel differently. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own my money.

But will learning niceties and dance steps be enough to win over the duke, who is rumored to be a fearsome warrior with a burning hatred for all things human? Or has Sariphi been set up to fail her way out of the palace and the beast realm for good?

Review- Sariphi continues to face her challenges head-on. She has to impress a powerful Duke and he is known for his hatred of humans. Sariphi has to learn all about the palace, a special dance solo, and a special partnered dance. The King is not happy about anyone testing her but Sariphi isn't afraid and the King trusts her. Sariphi never changes who she is, even when it would be to be benefit. That's how she is heal the wounds between humans and beasts. Even when she falls, she gets back up with a smile and tries again. That is what saves this interaction and will continue to do so. A very volume and series. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. 

Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 9

Today's manga post is on Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 9 by Mika Yamamori. It is 198 pages and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Suzume and Mamura on it. As it is the ninth volume in the series, you need to have read the first eight volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes coming of ages stories and high school drama. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character, Suzume. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Suzume has moved to Tokyo and is living with her uncle. Spring arrives, and Suzume and her classmates are now second-year students. There’s just one problem—all the first-year girls are obsessed with Mamura. Suzume and her friends come up with a plan to make Suzume his fake girlfriend, but Mamura is conflicted.

Review- Mamura is being chased by new girls and they are really annoying him and Yuyuka. So Yuyuka has the brilliant idea of Suzume being his fake girlfriend, to make them back off. It does work but it also makes Mamura think about having Suzume as his real girlfriend. Suzume is still getting over Mr. Shishio but she is in a different class now so more Mamura and less of Mr. Shishio. I like how Mamura is growing and being more open with his thoughts and feelings. But Suzume still hasn't noticed how he feels about her. That comes to a head and I can't want to see how she is going to react to that. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. 

Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 25

Today's manga post is on Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 25 by Mizuho Kusanagi. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Yona and So-Won on it. As it is the twenty-fifth volume, you need to have read the first twenty-four volumes to understand the plot. The intended reader is someone who likes fantasy stories with political plots and interesting characters. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the manga- Yona comes face-to-face with Su-won and tells him that waging war against the nation of Xing would be disastrous. Later, she rushes back to Princess Kouren, but assassins and more dangers await in Xing! Will the Four Dragons be able to protect Yona from all who threaten her life?

Review- Yona has learned more about ruling in her time travelling and should not be underestimated. She maneuvers Su-Won into meeting with Princess Kouren but there are forces at work within Xing that don't want a peace talk to happen. I love seeing Yona being the ruler that she was born to be and how she will bend others to her will. Yona is walking more and more like the queen and those around her are starting to react to that. That is driving fear into Su-Won's advisors, especially the ones who talked him into the murder. I want to see Yona out play them all and win back her place. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. 

Prince Freya, Vol. 4

Today's manga post is on Prince Freya, Vol. 4 by Keiko Ishihara. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Freya and Julian on it. As it is the fourth volume in the series, you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and action violence in this manga. The intended reader is someone who likes political manga with a strong female lead. The story is told from third person following the characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- The unexpected arrival of horned warriors at Fort Leren is all that saves the Tyrish troops from the Sigurdian seige. But the Kelds have no interest in joining forces with Tyr—they only intervened to cause pain to their old foe. While it is a disappointing decision, it opens Freya’s eyes to other paths of resistance. Tyr might have no allies, but Sigurd has many enemies!

Review- This volume picks up where the last left off with Freya pulling her men together and they withstand the siege. But the cost was high and not just to Freya but to her friend, Alex. He was saved by a god and made a pact with it. Then Freya meets the king and while he knows that she is not his son, the king gives her his blessing. The politics is starting to get thick now with the villains getting more time on page. But their true motives are still unknown. Freya has a long road in front of her and I am pulling for her and her soldiers. 

I give this manga a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Queen's Quality, Vol. 7

Today's manga post is on Queen's Quality, Vol. 7 by Kyousuke Motomi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Fumi in her cleaning outfit. As it is the seventh volume in the series, you need to have read the first six volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild action violence in this manga.

From the back of the manga- At Seichi, the Holy Ground of the Old Byakko Clan, a dangerous ghost attacks and seriously injures Kyutaro! Is Fumi strong enough to heal him? And what sort of secrets will Takaya reveal to them about their past?

Review- This volume is about Kyutaro learning about his parents and what really happened to them. He is facing his father's ghost and the guilt his father died with. Fumi is learning more control and how she can better help Kyutaro. The Byakko Clan is powerful but they don't have a queen to help them and the leader is still herself. So the bad guys are taking advantage of that. The volume ends with meeting Kyutaro's mother and they have a big mission up next. This continues to be a great magical girl series. More fun soon!

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway!, Volume 3

Today's manga post is on I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway!, Volume 3 by ＡＴＡＫＡ. It is 176 pages long and is published by Tokyopop. The cover has Mystia and Victor on it. The intended reader is someone who likes isekai, shojo stories. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this magna. There story is told from third person close of the characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Mystia Aren is desperate to prevent her predicted dead end from the Kyun-Love otome game, but all the game's potential love interests- and even the game's protagonist, Alice!- are making things incredibly difficult for her. Will Mystia be able to get Kyun-Love's main events back on track, or will all the otome game boys continue to fall in love with her?

Review- So the main plot of the game has started but nothing is going as planned. Mystia is continuing to be a normal person, who cares about others and that is all it takes for the boys in this story to fall for her. Alice is fine but she doesn't compare to Mystia. There is more than person who comes the real world and knows the plot. I still don't know where the story is going but I'm along for the ride. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Skip Beat!, Vol. 31

The intended reader is someone who likes silly plots with great characters. The story is told from the third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Ren is fighting to keep himself under control, but living as Cain Heel and simultaneously building the character BJ are really wearing him down. Kyoko is getting really worried, but even President Lory can’t do more than encourage her to support Ren. Can Kyoko’s own dark side give her the insight to help her friend, or will she be forced to watch as he self-destructs?!

Review- Ren is getting too much into character and it is affecting everything. Kyoko is worried about him and she is still having to be Setsu. So they have some funny dramatic moments. Sho is back, sadly, and making a pain of himself, like normal. I like seeing what is goin on in Ren's head and what is driving him. But I would like to see Kyoko and Ren have more real interactions, not as characters. But the Heel siblings are pretty funny, so I'm having fun just the same. I look forward to the next volume. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

As they prepare to rescue Teg, Uruki learns the truth about the prophecy: to summon Genbu, the Priestess will have to sacrifice her life. Refusing to let another death happen, Uruki vows to send Takiko back to the safety of her own world…by any means necessary.

Review- So much happens in this volume. From Uruki mourning Soren to the Celestial Warriors learn what will happen when Takiko fulfills her duty as the Priestess. So the Warriors want Takiko to go back home and live. Of course they don't talk to her about it. So Takiko is feeling very rejected and alone, then she gets sent back home. So much drama and of course sending Takiko back will not stop anything. Fate is in motion now and nothing can stop it. I look forward to the next volume and seeing how Takiko is going to get back. 

I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

What will Kaede do when he finally hears the truth? And in a moment of respite, Hinana and Kaede take a vacation to a hot spring resort, and, much to their chaperone's dismay, things get a little steamy!

Review- This volume is really great with all the back story for Hinana and why she is how she is. Kaede is willing to meet with Akira man to man and Akira is willing to give Kaede the knowledge that he needs to understand. Kaede is really great in this volume, he steps up as Hinana's boyfriend. He goes to Hinana's mother and has a serious talk. Hinana and Kaede are both growing as characters but I liked seeing more growth from Kaede in this volume. I look forward to the next volume! 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

When Suzume's mother returns to their hometown for a brief stay, Suzume makes the sudden decision to return home. But Yuyuka and Suzume's other Tokyo friends are determined to bring her back.

She does not know what she wants anymore and when her mother is home, Suzume runs back home. There she hopes to clear her head. But her friends in Tokyo are worried that she will never return. So they follow her, including Mamura. I really enjoyed this volume now that the student-teacher relationship is over. It is also nice to Yuyuka moving on from her crush on Mamura and being open to new people. I look forward to the next volume and seeing what drama is going to happen next. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Review- Yona and Hak go in two different directions to try and handle this very serious brewing war. But before they part, Yona kisses Hake and makes his brain melt. This is a funny scene because he is so shocked. But the war is coming and the dragons are still in the hands of a crazy person. This plot arc is very interesting with the kingdom of Xing and the war crimes of Su-Won's father. I am glad that Yona is doing something about her feelings towards Hak. I cannot wait to read the next volume. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
