Nice... by akari_mizunashi on June 28th, 2010, 9:18am

But not nearly as nice as Aria.
Aria has its weaknesses. It can be corny, the human anatomy is often fairly bad, and it slips into moe just a little too often.
Aqua has all those things, but multiplied many times.
It's a lovely little series, but I'm glad Amano improved in time for Aria.

Relaxing by shinbei42 on April 2nd, 2009, 7:38pm

A nice and calming manga.
Nice characters.
Doesn't have much of a plot/story (nothing really *BIG* happens) but it adds to the charm. This is sweet manga.
I recommend it esp. to people who want a change of pace in their read.

Aqua. by NightSwan on February 7th, 2009, 5:23am

I had a feeling of "not quite there yet" while reading it.
Aqua is very peacfull, and relaxing. That's what finally drew me in to read it.
The art is very nice as well, but sometimes looks a little awkwards with hands and such.
The scenes that greatly excited the characters, didn't have the same effect on me, and were mostly just pretty.
The characters are simple and sweet.
I liked aqua, but I do hope Aria would give a better emotion transmiting via landscapes.

All in all, I enjoyed it^^

One of the best... ever!!! by zeds on May 11th, 2008, 11:18am

A touching story, that makes you feel relaxed-and sometimes a bit frustratedsmile
You can see and feel how the characters grow, and at the same time you'll grow fond of them! :-)

amazing by xxanime_junkyxx on September 3rd, 2007, 1:46pm

the artwork in this manga is just so stunning! there are those random shots that they give and the detail that they put into it, not to mention how beautiful the cover for volume 1 was and they had a pic of akira in a green background (thats my new desktop XD)....the story is just so relaxing and easygoing, all the stories are funny and there's enough fantasy inspiration here to make you dream of a totally different world...it's like a fairytale =) honestly read this, if you don't feel a bubbly feeling after you read it, something's wrong with you..its only two volumes =)

Magical by mangum44 on June 6th, 2007, 7:50pm

This beautifully illustrated manga will alternatively fill you with peace and make you giddy as a schoolgirl. To read when you need a change from other action-packed or angst-ridden mangas, or simply when you want to feel a little bit more at ease with this world. Or with another world.

Really Nice With a Homey Mysterious Feel by sleet on April 15th, 2007, 6:37pm

It's a very nice manga, however, the one I remember reading was Aria.
It was cute, funny, and had some interesting stories that reminds me of my
current fav manga called "xXXHOLiC". I suggest giving this a try.
The cities and backgrounds are drawn so well that you can easily tell that
the artist has worked extremely hard.

I haven't read this manga in years and have only been able to read Vol1 & 2 at my local bookstore, I can't wait to continue with this AMAZING find that will stay in your memory for a loooooong time! <3

Watch it! by Alissa on March 31st, 2006, 9:29am

Great manga, so peaceful! And such a piece of artwork! This author is amazing. Watch it! Really. There's also an anime in 2 seasons, but drawings are not as good as in the manga.

Wow... by Ladholyman on November 27th, 2005, 12:24pm

I don't really know what draws me in. Is it the characters that all start with A? Is it Akatsuki's pimpness? Is it the idealistic utopian Venetian society? Or is it just the pretty girls rowing boats? Oh, I don't know! Just read it already.
