Tried it out because of the fantastically beautiful art. Got addicted because of the fun chemistry of the characters and ever more intriguing and exciting plot.
Nai is just so darn cute and innocent you wanna squeeze the heck out of him. Yogi comes off a little cloying sometimes but he's just so genuinely NICE you can't help but root for him (and laugh at him) and besides, he gets a lot more interesting when certain things come to light. Gareki is impossible not to like (to tease) and watching him grow and very reluctantly learn to interact with people is fun and interesting. Karoku of course is the source of much of the series' mystery and the more you learn the more curious you get. And the Varuga? Downright FREAKY sometimes, in just the right unnatural, twisted way, without going too far. I've lost much sleep reading this. It's downright beautiful. Lighthearted and innocent, full of dream-like fantasy wonders and nightmares in a world cunningly crafted and filled with detailed and beautiful inventions and special abilities. It's got everything I like.

I started reading this because I discovered it through a Surprise Me! in another website. I thought the art was pretty interesting so I decided to check it out...
Well, watta ya know! I actual fell in love with this series! The art is just absolutely gorgeous, and the bishies are just too cute! The storyline is very unique, I like it very much. It goes on a quick but followable pace and the art goes very well with it. There's enough action to keep you at the edge of your seat. The characters' looks can be a bit consistent so I often mixed them up at first, but they're overall likable (especially Nai!)

The thing I love most about this manga are the characters. They make it a fun read (not to mention, I believe Nai to be the cutest character I've come across in any manga). The plot seems to be going somewhere, and the art is nice. So, all in all I think it's a great manga ^^
well planned

then again I think one difference between shounen series and shoujo or josei is that in shoujo or josei, it (the story) seems more likely to stick to the author's original plan, in which shounen (e.g. jump) the series will be soon canceled once they lose popularity.
so, in all likelihood, I love how the story seems to be well planned by the author and the way the mysteries being unfold one by one neatly

I actually prefer reading the manga to watching the anime. Just because the anime skips all the funny scenes. But the main storyline is still adapted well. The drawing is so adorable! Love Nai and Gareki!

Karneval really suprised me with it´s plot. I didnt expect much of it at first but I kept on reading because the art is eye catching. Yes the plot is a bit dragging but it is going somewhere and I really like the way it is taking. But the question is... am I the only one who was bawling her eyes out for no apparent reason? It has something to do with the innocence of some characters, it´s just heart warming. I never felt like this towards a manga before. Especially Nai. The artist really did an amazing job in expressing Nais view of his surroundings. And even thought I´m a person for romance the friendship and the platonic love that is going on is refreshing and beautiful. I hope it stays this way. Otherwise I don´t see anything that could go wrong with Karneval. If not for the plot people should read it for the characters. They´re lovely and unique.

Quit enjoyable, I love the art especially <3
And Gareki is on top my favorite character list, Yogi is up there too.
It's slightly confusing in some aspects but that's alright with me, I just wish things were explained a lot sooner. My main issue with this series is Nai. I want to slap Nai around so much because he pisses me off in sooo many ways. AUUUUGHHH USELESS LITTLE THING!! And I know WHY he's the way it is, but it doesn't annoy me any less. Bleh, ignoring him is a bit tough and I would be happier if another character replaced him, but that's not gonna happen so oh well. ;P
With my love for Gareki! I shall endure!

I truly loved this manga, Nai is one of the most adorable main characters ever, his friendship with the others, mainly Gareki, truly beautiful! Unfortunately the ending is really rushed, You can see that the author wanted to finish quickly, which is a pity...
