Review:
I was thinking that the Saving-Amamizukan story line would be resolved
relatively early and then they would move on to something else, but
I'm starting to think that this plot is going to last the series. I
think I'm okay with that, though.
There's a surprising amount of romantic undertones in this series. I
didn't feel this much in the anime, so I didn't expect it. But there
are quite a few moments between Kuranosuke and Tsukimi, mostly where
they later freak out and deny it. Tsukimi is very much crushing on
Shu, as well. So it's very complicated, and I'm not actually sure who
I prefer. I like all of them quite a lot.
The Amars are also very much in denial—I don't see how they accept Kuranosuke's crazy stories to believe he's still a girl. I do love
them, though. They're crazy otaku and they're so funny. Especially
Mayaya—she's so over-the-top and it's great.
I love seeing Tsukimi get to work on the jellyfish dresses. She gets
so passionate, and they truly are beautiful. They make an attempt,
and then they get a success—and it's so pretty! I can't wait to see
more of them, and I'm intrigued by where the plot will go next for
that crazy plan. Kuranosuke's ideals are pretty vague.
I love this series. It's crazy and dramatic and cheesy. It's so much
fun and I'm so glad it's being released. I can't wait to read more.
