Steel Angel Kurumi Volume 3

Summary: Not as engrossing as I expected...
Review: I read the Maico 2010 series before I read this, and that may have tainted my judgment somewhat. But to me, this series is nothing new, and not as interesting as Maico was to me. Kurumi feels rushed, like the author was trying to put it out before the deadline and didn't bother to really concentrate on it. So much more could have been done with it, especially once the sister angels arrived. The premise is much like Maico, Oh My Goddess, or AI Love You in that a young, inhuman girl (a robot) falls for the first man she sees and pledges to be with him and protect him forever. That plotline has been overdone. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing--I love Maico and Oh My Goddess, and I DID buy Steel Angel Kurumi. But I found that Kurumi has too many unaddressed issues and a rushed plot, so it failed to grab my attention for long.

Summary: Go Go Kurumi!
Review: I've been a major Kurumi fan from the beginning, and this is even better! Though I prefer the anime because it's a lot more amusing, the manga does it total justice. So if you loved to anime, you have to get the manga, it's great! THe art is good, and well...okay there is a scene about Nakahito that's totally wrong...but who cares it's manga! So buy it!

Summary: T&A
Review: Title says it all. Pretty drawing style, lots of fan service (including some shounen-ai amasingly enough - in the US they would never mix straight and gay eye candy). No plot really, no point on getting it for any other reason. For those that like that sort of thing, enjoy.
