It's actually a nice story I laugh a lot with some chapters they're very entertaining and you really wont be able to hold your laughter...LOL
But I'm a bit disappointed with the ending. It lacks in a lot of way. Like;
That's all, but still I like this just hoping for more.
I recall enjoying most of this story quite a bit, despite it being occasionally pretty similar to Angel Densetsu. But when I finished the last twelve chapters after a long break, that whole section felt like a really low-quality story, where hardly anything was happening. What a weirdly boring, drawn-out ending D:.
The manga started off with a good premise. It had kind of an Angel Densetsu/Kyou Kara ore Wa feel to it. However the balance was thrown off in the first half of the manga, with the comic timing getting worse as the manga progressed. Also the relationship between the main male lead and his love interest is never shown to progress beyond a point, even as the manga ends in a disappointing conclusion.
While it was a pleasant read, I felt the story never quite had a particular focus to it, characters apart from the male lead didn't have enough development and the climax didn't build up enough to lead to a grand finale. The manga does not live up to its potential
Honestly, it's to the point where more than half of the total characters that show up are scumbags without much motivation other than just being scumbags. Only a few of them really have character development or show some sign of actually having kindness in them. Also, some scenes are just drawn out too long. The main characters are really likable though and I honestly enjoy reading this series despite the negative point/s that I've brought up. There's some really great comedy and the main male lead and the president of the Tea Club, among other main characters, are very likable. Right now I've read 9 volumes and although some drawn-out scenes with [piece of] crap antagonists piss me off, there are enough good points in characterization among other things that make this series worth reading. Also surprisingly some great quotes at times and insights into life and especially what kindness is.
This is actually the first of his works I started reading a few years back, though Kyou Kara wa Ore Wa!! was written later, this was scanlated in earnest first.
If you've read his other works, rest assured he's done it again here. Every bit as funny as his other series.
If you haven't read any of his stuff and like comedy, then I can only tell you that his works may be the funniest manga i've ever read.
I REALLY need to watch/read Cheeky Angel. 😛
Not a bad plot, great comedy, good romance, and great character.... but I wouldn't expect less from the author of kyou kara ore wa 😛 . Great story, not quite as great as kkow imo but still great 9.5/10
Also its true its not that similar to angel densetsu... main character is misunderstood but he isn't exactly nice to those on his bad side.... no real hostility, just punishment at an "appropriate level" XD
I liked Angel Densetsu and I liked this, but I don't think they were that similar.
In the first chapter, when Masaya was talking about wanting a LOHAS life and yet continually running into violence, I thought it was a bit similar.
Which is to say, so long as Masaya was /talking/. Already after the 1st chapter, his actions began to speak louder than his words.
Angel Densetsu is about a gentle-hearted guy who can't even fight offensively--- his strength is dodging, absorbing blows, and when truly worked up pushing people.
Whereas Masaya lights motorcycles on fire in the name of revenge. And beat up adults when he was a THIRD GRADER. And finds it physically impossible to perform a dogeza, and extremely difficult to apologize.
He manages to still be likable, but in a VERY different way than the innocent sweetness of the "Wouldn't harm a fly" character of Angel Densetsu.
I mean, "innocent" and "sweet" are words that would be applied to Masaya only in his own delusional daydreams... (I could hear "essentially well-intentioned". Or maybe "kind in his own very... special... way")
The entire feeling of the manga was different for me. The relationship between the two male characters, a kind of trusting friendship, felt very different from the fear-awe-servitude relationship Angel's main character had with the other males. Since that's a pretty large part of the manga, it makes the whole tone feel different (...um, I happen to prefer this version. I loved AD but not really for the secondary male characters, who felt somewhat dull and repetitive...)
Because the manga doesn't really revolve around people misinterpreting the main characters' action as demonic (key word: "misinterpret"... they more like "interpret" them as demonic) the conversations that are somewhat similar to AD ("is he a bad person? is he not?") end up feeling different, as well...
Only one of the female characters is really anything like the girl from Angel Densetsu, and even there, not really...
Basically, after all that tl;dr:
There's definitely a passing resemblance. But beyond that, they're rather different.
This manga is way better than i expected. I read first first chapters of it and complete into it.I heard ppl compared this to Angel Densetsu say it similar. so i gonna try to see how is that manga is.I like how the main character is like a devil (even tho he don't act like one) while the tea president she is like an angel. If they are meant to be together in this manga i think it would be great. It would be like an devil/angel couple. I can't wait for more chapters to come out. I've been waiting for it. 😀
I am taking one point off for the art. And then, I am giving the point back, because the amateurish art actually makes the story funnier. I can not imagine Devil Ma-kun and Yamada drawn any other way.
It starts sort of like Angel Densetsu. But it's different. Devil really is a Devil. And the more he embraces his essential devil nature, the better he becomes.
u know,when i saw the Cover and the Summary i thoght this is just another boring manga with a bad boy wanna be a good boy.
But,i was wrong...i tried to peek a bit and surprisingly i fell in love with this manga both Story and Art pretty decent....
i'm starting to fell in love with this Mangaka Art style....
