Hakoiri Devil Princess; Air Gear; and Boku kara Kimi

Well, I was bored, and there is only one other review-related post... So I decided id do another three manga review while waiting to call someone. Here are two recent ones I have read, Hakoiri Devil Princess, which is one im in the middle of reading right now and its getting a bit good, and the other which I read a few days ago, Boku kara Kimi, which was pretty good for a romance/slice of life type. The final one, is Air Gear, which most casual manga readers should at least know a bit about seeing as its one of the top manga currently and has about 320 chapters out currently. Its one of my favorite mangas, so I thought id cover it as well.

Starting off, HDK (Ill be relying on.. acronyms are they? for the longer titled manga ^^ from now on) is about a boy who opens a box, and guess what pops out! If you guessed Master Chief from Halo, well.. Sadly, your wrong. Its a Devil girl, whos chararistics looks to be loosely based on the main girl from To Love Ru, with the same spaded tail and.. Busty-ness. Anyway, she basically states "ill make three of your wishes true, then ill steal your soul *evil cackle*", without the cackle. After that, you get to see the duo get in a few crazy hijinks, usually ending up in a nice touching ecchiness scene, and both of course fall in love with each other. Or so it seems the two will, from the point im at. Its currently at 24 chapters, so probably nearly done with or around half way completion at the most, so not too bad. I definitely recommend it for those To Love Ru fans out there, it has the same ditzyness of a girl as TLR, and has the same buxomness too. 7/10 so far ;D, since the overall story seems to be a bit lacking, sadly.

Now for Air Gear (Or AG for short). AG follows the path of Ikki, or Crow-kun as he is nicknamed, who is a sort of gang leader. Hes one of those "Strong right off the bat" types, who are pretty much stronger than any other character for a while at least. Well, in AG there are things called "Air trecks". You can think of them as modified trick roller blades. Well, our friend Ikki here naturally gets his grubby hands on a pair, and a action packed tricked out slightly romantic at time comedy manga ensues! I didnt write too much of a review for this one, since you can ask almost anyone for in depth detail on it, and plus gotta save some of the mystery for later eh? :P. Though in later chapters the focus seems to be a bit off what it was, its still a greatly illustrated piece of work with a relatively good storyline, and the characters are (mostly) lovable. 10/10 for its awesomeness.

And last up to the batters stage, BKK. This manga is the typical school based slice of life romance, following our female protaganist, whom I of course forget the name of. Shes in love with one of her teachers (naturally) and so of course transfers to a high school just to be in the same school as him. And, on the first day of school, she meets a fellow student who LOOKS EXACTLY like her beloved teacher, albeit with a seemingly darker hair color and a bit younger features. Ill save the surprise for when you read it, but its a very good manga, though it gets frustrating at times, its very good. I give it a 8/10 for its art, pretty good storyline, and most of the characters are lovable. I recommend it if you like school oriented romances with love triangles. Its currently at 17 chapters, in which I guess it to be around half- three quarter completion.

Thats it for now, ill probably wait over the weekend to add a few more reviews, and then wait a bit and try to get this blog out there on a few forums for people to notice it ;.;. Of course, im mainly writing this to.. Refresh myself I suppose, but I would still like to have a few readers be able to give me insight on it. See if im doing anything wrong or not. Anyway, until next time~!
