_GazeRockMei_'s Review Violenece/Gore: I gave this a 2 because there are a few scenes that involve fighting (consequently between Kyo and Yuki), violence (slightly graphic car accident scene, and people jumping through roofs and walls. Although those are few and far between, I thought as I, looking for honest reviews, should comment on it. Nudity/Sexual Content: Althought a relatively clean and innocent manga, I gave this a 3 because there are a few "questionable" scenes which I encountered when reading it. Most of them are by one character (Hatsuharu) who comments on his girlfriend as well as a scene between the two of them in bed together (nothing is shown, but it is worthy of being mentioned). Also, one other character (Ayame) has a tendency to make slightly disturbing gay comments as well as acting homosexual. (However, he is not) As for nudity, I don't have any warnings for that. However, when returning to their human forms, they are naked, but nothing inappropriate is shown. Theological: I gave that a 2 only because some people may find it offensive that the manga is based around Zodiac, magic, and "god". However nothing ever indicates to beliefs nor is it protesting a faith. Other negative themese: Swearing is prominant in this; depending on what translation you find, near the end the F word is used quite profusely (I went to another site to read it and found that the translation on that site was a bit different and the F word wasn't used at all like in the other translation I had read). However, throughout most of the manga, nothing worse then the D word, H word, or A word ever really comes up. Not that I can remember at least. Overall I give this manga a 9. It was one of the first I ever read and I have to say that I definitely recommend it for anyone who likes good romance/comdedy manga with a thick plot to keep you intruiged. The few negative things weren't enough to keep me away as they really aren't prominant. Despute the few issues, the manga is quite clean and I find it has an excellent theme built into with standard Christian morals (loving everyone, forgiveness, etc.). I also find Tohru to be excellent heroine who I find myself looking up to even though she is a fictional character who can be a bit thick at times. Give this manga a shot! |
