Nise no Chigiri Omoide no saki he - Trailer - PSP. Otome Game Review – Nise no Chigiri. Future but this is an otome game so no fucking way the good end is gonna be tragic aite, so one day she bumps.

Overall 5 Story 2 Art 10 Character 4 Enjoyment 5 Firstly I must state that apparently this manga is based off an otome game. While I have read manga that were also based on otome games they had better depth than this one. Story It's dreadful. Many things that occur within this manga are never explained. So on the few moments that things start to get interesting, such as the mad baddie character Yamato's background snippets, it never goes further than a few frames displaying a complex character history.

This applies to most of the characters so you never really get to know them beyond the few things they cared to put in for you to read (which isn't a lot). To summarize what this manga is about in my words, an average high school girl gets sent back in time to save an important historical character by a water spirit. There isn't any special reason for Mana being select, you could say she just happened to be there and is expected to somehow save a particular person without being told how she is supposed to save them. This leads me into. Characters The main character girl fulfills the classic otome character. Basically she's a 'blank' that a reader can imagine as herself.

Mana isn't anything special and is really boring. The only character's I had any interest in where the ones who were revealed as to having some dark or mysterious past (which as stated earlier are only given glimpses and nothing more, no conversations, no flashbacks, no close-bonding story between characters). All the other character's are just sort of. Art I do love the quality of the art and the style. This is pretty much what kept me reading.

That and the hope that something deeper would occur, such as Yamato's history (which doesn't make much sense with the details we are given). If you are seeking a nice past era romance manga, I would say to skip this one. Overall 2 Story 1 Art 8 Character 1 Enjoyment 2 In short: 'Only recommendable to those caring only about eye candy.' Art: It may be odd for some that I start with the art, but since this manga only possesses one redeemable quality, I decided to start with it right off the bat. You got it, the art is good.

Not outstanding, but good enough to visually satisfy various bishie types. And that’s basically it since landscapes and backgrounds are forgettable. So could I state something negative regarding this short section? Well, yes, the design of those said bishies are way too reminiscent of Hakuoki.

In that regard, there’s a complete lack of inspiration of originality (though, the mangaka merely took the design of the source material). And that undermines the totality of the work. Story: 19 chapters 19 chapters where almost nothing happens. Is there any type of build up? Oh, not that the mangaka isn’t trying, but it feels like the work of an amateur having no knowledge about writing and sloppily trying to get around what a story is supposed to be like, but ultimately failing at the execution/delivering. Now you could say: but maybe that’s it? Maybe she WAS a newbie at that time?

Sadly enough, she had 25 other mangas behind her at that time. 25, and she’s worse than many newbies. Another excuse that could be found is that this is based upon an otome game, but I have read otome adaptations before. I have seen others. Even if they are rarely noteworthy, I cannot recall one as low in terms of quality as this one.
