Short and Different (Sort Of)

by gloriousmangalover

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

For the mangaka of things I very much hate, like Vampire Knight, I actually enjoyed this.
It wasn't super unique, but it was interesting and I enjoyed the premise and the short plot. Nicely executed, a bit cliche with the reveal but it was okay, and honestly really interesting, yet unrealistic pirate setting
So glad it was short, because otherwise it would have been muddled with stupid actions.
Not super special, but it was enjoyable enough
I actually like Armelia! Luce was the annoying stereotype of "cool guy" that cared a lot for his childhood love, but Armelia was feisty, determined, and interesting. She's not particularly strong, but at least she's not a complete Mary Sue.

TL;DR: Glad it's short, and it is a little different, making it refreshing. Characters were okay, save for the love interest, and the plot was actually pretty well-executed. Therefore, 6/10.

Nice read

Nice read but it wasn't anything special. Their relationship was cute and kinda predictable just like the plot. It didn't really me when we found out that Scar was Luce. It would be nice if she continued this 🙂

Bonus Story

by Pamelki

Rating: N/A

I love the bonus story. It is a bit confusing but it's realy deep and the characters share a nice but rather realistic relationship. Wanted itself is good too, but, as the other reviews critiqued, it is to short ( to me it suffers a loss of a strong middle and any end whatso ever). Hopefully Hino Matsuri will present us with a continuation.

Cute

Cute shoujo, but predictable. Scar is the typical closet gentleman and Armelia helpless girl, but they are a cute pair. :3 Since I am an avid reader of pirate history, the Robin Hood-esque flair is slightly off-putting, and Armelia is no Anne Bonny or Mary Read, but nevertheless it's an sweet idealist hate/love story.

Enjoyable

I really liked "Wanted". I sort of wish it was a little longer just because I like a good long read, so here is to hoping Hino Matsuri gets to return to it in the future. I found it to be an enjoyable read, and would recommend this to others.

I really like the story. It has really good plot. Even though it been years since I read when I write my stories for English class or the kids I baby-sit I use the same plot (though I must edit the rough parts) 🙂 ^-^ (: u

If you read reviews about this series or read the last page of wanted it states that Matsuri Hino does not plan to leave wanted with just one volume. She says that she has lots of ideas for the next volume. The only reason she is not continueing it now is because she is busy with Vampire Knight. She says after she is done with VK she will go back and work on WANTED. And we're in luck. VK seems to be nearing the end.

It was a really good story--very cute--but the ending seemed kinda rushed. I don't think it just be called a "completed manga"yet....
Still, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I loved the Pirate thing.
