| Tragically Beautiful by ~Kuri~ on April 16th, 2009, 10:15pm |

| This was a really great story. It's very dark and tragic, definitely not light fluff. The artwork is also very beautiful and captivating. The problem with this manga is how rushed it is. It should of been a series instead of a one shot. |

| Interesting Story by Chira00 on March 11th, 2009, 12:44am |

I really enjoyed this story. It has nothing to do with dolls turning human or humans into dolls, it has to do with loving someone and being loved. Just because you possess an artificial part that you were not born with, does not make you less human. Nor does giving an artificial object a human part make it a human being. A very intriguing story indeed. I loved it!

What else can I say that hadn't been said by Hanjae
All I can do is support and agree with her
I'm maybe a bit biased since I'm kinda into this doll stuff xD
The story, I just like it <3 I'm in a wonderful mood and want to get out of the usual shoujo...so yea, the story is interesting
The art, fantabulous..I like this kind of art..you know it's like the same kind with Kaori Yuki's...though maybe this mangaka is not that skillful because it's hard to differentiate between the characters..and I'm not saying that the art is not beautiful
For me, you sometimes, don't need to think deeply of why this and why that...This is just a 1 vol so it lacks the reasoning and logic...If this were a 5 vol ++, then, that's a major flaw....Just read it, enjoy and understand what's going on 
Really..it's an enjoyable story(warning! Like I said I'm maybe biased) I definitely won't delete it from my comp lol...Try it and maybe it'll captures your heart ^_~ and if you don't like it,sayonara jk jk

| Complex. by Hanjae on March 1st, 2009, 2:57am |

Canaria Child was a surprisingly complex story, given its length. I'd have to disagree that it was a lame story that didn't make sense and centered too much on the two main characters; I think Hermit-chan and Molenir completely missed the point.
Firstly, the characters. The author made the correct choice in focusing entirely on Mitsuki, Yue, and Kotoi in the later chapters. Given the psychological damage that Mitsuki suffered when she found out her father's secret, and both her and Yue's inner conflicts as they tried to come to terms with reality, there was no way the author could've introduced all these other characters. They would've felt totally underdeveloped.
Secondly, the plot. In the whole story, Mitsuki and Yue are coming to terms...
Spoiler (highlight to view) ...with the fact that they both have doll parts. They're afraid that they'll slowly become dolls, and they're not sure what makes them human and what makes them doll anymore, since dolls can be imbued with the owner's wishes and seem to come to life. There have been other manga, movies, TV shows, etc., exploring this difference. It's hardly a stupid idea.
The fact that dolls can be made to move and speak has blurred the lines between what is truly human and human-made - the collectors all bidding for a "living doll" isn't just something out of the blue. What they discover to be the one thing that makes them human is intriguing.
Thirdly, the art was very, very pretty. It kind of reminded me of Kaori Yuki's, for some reason, but less dark. My only complaint is that Yue and Kotoi looked remarkably similar when Yue had his glasses off; I had difficulty telling them apart in the last chapter.
All in all, I liked this far more than I thought I would. The doll theme was interesting rather than freaky, the idea of what separates the human and the doll was well-explored, given the short length, and the ending was quite satisfactory. Give this a go; don't let the previous comments discourage you.

Even though this might not have been the best, the story itself is unique and art was wonderful. I think something like this could have recieved better comments considering this is not a normal shoujo story. I really enjoyed this story.

It's dissapointing..
Some of my most favourite manga relates to Doll themed mangas like DOLL: IC in a DOLL or Antique Romance..but this manga is....nonsensical..
It STARTS off interesting. I love the art, especially the 'doll-like' faces..and yes, I do have a fetish on dolls since I'm a collector XDD
BUT...The characters arent interesting. .
It's the classic story where the entire 4 chapters is revolves around a hawt charming bishie and a beautiful vulnerable heroin..
Spoiler (highlight to view) In every chapter, we'll see the girl will say "I am not a doll, I am a human" and then there goes the "Damsel In Distress" routine..
The bishie will find out where the girl's location and save her...
and Secondly, I still dont get the whole idea why these 'living dolls' exist....I really REALLY dont get it. Everything in this manga is..jumbled up with this whole 'Living doll' and 'daughter of the doll-maker' theme..and I highly Questioned the significance of dolls in this manga..since all the bad guys wanted her so much...why would ppl need a living doll?!? It's a one-dimensional plot which could have open up to many possibilities..
The manga could have been better if the plot expands not just based on the 'two characters meet Villians' but..the society or the world that they're living in general..
I guess I had too much expectations when leeching off this manga. But Thank you Aerandria group for scanslating it! I love it when you guys have 'doll-fetish' scanslating Doll-themed mangas XDDD Jk jk!

Such a lame series. Girl turning into a doll, and doll turning into a human. Yeah, how stupid can you get. And then making the doll do the killing, because the people were such pathetic losers, didn’t matter that he murdered your father and cut off your arm, and is slowly turning you to a doll. No, must not do the right thing and put an end to his evil.
Very very sad, this series could have been so much better, but the way it played out, just made me want to delete it, and never bother with it again.
