there is nothing great nor bad about this manga. the characters are fun and simple and nothing more than a good read highly enjoyably and recommended.
if you did not like it then it is probably due to the 'it' factor you probably seeked and this manga did not deliver. it's nothing more than a feel good manga so if anything serious was to happen it will not fit and probably would have ruined it.
it a feel good manga and you just can't hate. thats what i feel.

| Brings back good memories... by ichigo_daisuki on August 9th, 2009, 4:54pm |

One day, I looked through all the volumes of Ultra Maniac I had bought, reminiscing back to junior high when I was crazy about this series and saying it was my favorite in the whole wide world. It's not my favorite anymore but what drew me to UM was Nina ( in case you didn't know she's my favorite character XD), the cute art, and the humor. Still, I thank this series from the bottom of my heart since it brought me into the world of manga.

For my part, I really liked this Manga. I started out by picking it up one day and from that time forward I was hooked. The plot wasn't what kept me going (They did a much better job of that in the Anime...) but rather the cuteness of the characters. From my point of view they were well drawn and very cute. The drama that cropped up every once and a while seemed kind of forced, but it was fun to see how all the characters would pull through.
All in all, this is great read if you want something light and funny to cheer you up. |

The first novel of this series is great. It focuses on Nina's "magic mayhem" and Ayu's exasperation with her. Nina and Ayu become a sort of straight man/funny man comedy duo, and it's all very funny and cute. The second volume is also decent, focusing more on romance, with a cliche but touching new love triangle. From that point, though, it goes downhill. Now that she's dropped her cool persona, her desperation to get Tetsushi, and her exasperation with Nina, Ayu becomes a boring, static character. Before that point she was strong and interesting, very likeable compared to most shoujo heroines. Everything becomes a huge, overly-cutesy game of love interest musical chairs. Huge crushes are developed and revealed which suddenly disappear without a second mention as if Yoshizumi-sensei realized she did the math wrong later. Some characters that are supposed to be sympathetic seem entirely despicable at times. Tetsushi tries to force a kiss on his girlfriend and then actually gets angry when she refuses. Hiroki is just an apathetic jerk throughout. And don't even get me started on Sayaka.
Still, it's not a bad series. The art is very good and for the most part consistent throughout (although characters get skinnier and more cutesy as the series continues). Although it is very cliche, the romantic triumphs and tribulations of the girls will likely be enjoyed by younger girls that haven't had much experience in shoujo - or life. The magic aspect is interesting and very different from the typical mahou shoujo. The female characters are all stronger and less boy-obsessed than the typical shoujo heroine. It's a nice read if you're looking for something light and fluffy but not too frothy.

| Didnt like some characters... by thismomentisfate on January 6th, 2009, 8:52pm |

| I did not like Sayaka i felt that Spoiler (highlight to view) too much time was wasted on her, i mean first she flirts with Ayu's boyfriend then she pretends to want Hiroki, we got to see more of her past them ayu or nina, she wasnt likable at all. she pretends she didnt actually want them hurt even though she tried to kill them, even after she tries to kill them and pretends to feel sorry for it she is still butting in with Nina and Hiroki, because she wants to help her boy friend. Ugh! she is so annoying i couldnt stand her, why is she in this story?
also, What a jerk Tetsushi is, some girl tried to kiss him and he doesnt tell him girlfriend, and then the jerk says he kinda wanted it to happen just because his girlfriend wouldnt kiss him in front of people, and that he let the girl kiss him near his mouth even though he could have dodged it if he wanted to, Ayu shoulda dumped him or given her first kiss to someone else as revenge. if he was worried about something he should have talked to his girl friend, is he going to let some girl seduce him in the future if his girlfriend doesnt want to be with him? what a jerk, and to think i liked him until then.

I was surprised at how good this manga was! I loved Nina and how despite the fact that she wasn't a good witch, she still tried her best to help those around her. Characters like her are such a breath of fresh air! I also liked all the little quirks the author added to the characters, like Hiroki and Nina being big fans of Doraemon XD This is a very bright and happy manga and I would recommend it to any shoujo or romance fan. The only downside I could find with this manga were the main characters Ayu and Kaji. It was dissapointing that those two had personalities as dull as a brick. I think their story "arc" was the weakest part of the story.

It's quite a cute series, but it is cliched and easily blends in with other shoujo. It's funny, yes, but it lacks any depth and relies on too many shoujo cliches and the same old plotline to be considered great.

Nina's antics were very entertaining, I love how the flow of some chapters went, but a few of them left me going "huh?!"
A must-read! |
