Pitaten: Volume 6

Summary: Koge-Donbo is Awsome!
Review: Pita-ten is a great little manga by Koge Donobo, the creator of Di Gi Charat. If you have ever enjoyed reading Di Gi Charat, you will most certainly enjoy this series. It has the same cuteness in some of it's characters and story, at least at the beginning. It does have some serious, rather grim parts of the plot, but it's still a great manga, none-the-less.

Summary: Great Manga!
Review: This is a really really great manga! Cute drawings, funny unforgetable characters, and at the same time... a dark serious story. This story so far will make you laugh and make you sad. It's really great and i recomend it! Misha is a darling, and Shia is super cute. Drawings are super cute! I love their outfits. Buy it, you wont regret it!

Summary: not sure how I feel about it, yet
Review: This is an adorable manga with lovely artwork. The stories are usually interesting. However, the characters haven't grabbed my interest very much, yet. I haven't gotten to read the first book yet, and my feelings about this manga may change after I've read more in the series, but I've started other manga series before and have had my attention grabbed a lot faster.

Cultural issues may be another problem for me. Usually, when I'm reading a manga, I realize that there are truly Japanese things going on that I'm probably not grasping or even aware of. It usually doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of the story and the characters, however. With this manga, I was much more aware that there were things going on that I wasn't understanding, and, while I don't think those things were getting in the way of my reading too much, it would have been nice if the editors had included a few more explanations throughout. All in all, it's definitely not the worst manga I've ever read, and I liked it enough that I'm willing to try out other volumes in the series.
