It's cute and has that "Awww..." feeling from the kids being all insecure and liking each other but not wanting to come to terms with it and denying it, but the editing is kind of atrocious and the composition of this comic lacks flow due to the poor placement of thought and speech bubbles and lines... In fact, there are points at which it is unclear whether a character is *thinking* a thought or saying something quietly to themselves because there is little editing to clearly differentiate those two concepts. It's still really cute, though. 3 stars for amusing and thoughtful content with piss-poor editing. ( ) Chiemi is a troublemaker at school, infamous for starting fights. She's on the verge of getting kicked out when a deal is proposed: Get the OTHER troublemaker Hirata in line, and her record will be cleared. She makes her first confrontation, kicking him in the head, telling him off, and then running away. Next day when he sees her, he asks her out. ...This is all in the first 12 pages. Then, well. I guess strap down for the usual romance with a little violence thrown in? Which might be a little harsh, I'm not sure. Shoujo in general isn't really for me, but in my perhaps sillier moments I've harbored thoughts that someday I'll find a shoujo that doesn't bore me or that I don't actively dislike, just so I can say, 'See? I'm not close-minded!' So this is from that perspective. Usually I might try a little more to comment on how this compares to the average, but I really haven't read enough to know. So. This was recommended to me by someone who knew I didn't like the usual shoujo, on the basis that the two main characters were so violent it was funny. The humor, though, I found of the usual manga variety of 'wacky and off the wall but with no originality or actual wit.' Not horrible, but out of the usual. As for the violence, I think the potentially fun things about this to me were that such supposedly violent characters ought to have very different and possibly more interesting personalities of those in usual shoujo. And also, it's pretty much a guarantee of a strong heroine, right? The heroine is no doormat, that I can concede. Unfortunately that doesn't make things inherently interesting, just less irritating. As for my hypothesis about interesting personalities, the manga makes pretty much no attempt to actually give these characters the personalities of violent, rowdy people. Pretty much from the get-go, we are immediately introduced to the fact that both of them fight either for noble reasons, or because others start the fights first. The excuses for the guy's bad reputation are paper-thin, and he pretty much wears his sweet, simple gentlemanlyness on his sleeve. The girl is a little irritable, but mostly nice. They punch and kick things once in a while, but that's about it. I guess if shoujo's you're thing and all you need to like it is a non-wimpy heroine, you might like this. But if you're looking for something that will stand out from the rest beyond that, this probably won't do anything for you. Even with all it's desire to show off it's strong heroine, the romantic climaxes always still seem to revolve around the strong male coming to save the heroine in a jam. It's still just your average romance, appealing directly to the (base? ^_^) desires to have a perfect sweet boyfriend, have him come to your rescue in times of distress, and to have him get horribly jealous when you're hanging around other guys. ^_^; Love Attack is a relatively straightforward comedic shoujo story about a pair who are more than a little bit rough around the edges. Despite having previously read scanlations, I found that I came to the material fresh and enjoyed it all over again. The action is far less confusing than in some of the mangaka's other work and the characters more engaging and three dimensional right off the bat. This is a series that I can, and will, recommend unreservedly.
Luckily the wackiness (and some sexually suggestive bits) gives the reader reason to keep consuming this tasty manga junk food.
When the roughest girl and guy in school get themselves into trouble, they also find themselves falling in love. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
