8-banme no Tsumi

It was so confusing, I decided to write my first review.

The art is really nice, but quite typical. There're some nice fragments, but nothing stunning. It's quite appropriate to the story, and that's the biggest plus for this manga.

The rest of it... Oh my.
The first chapter gives good impression. It's serious, it's dramatic and seems to be realistic - that's nice! Besides that, the story touches some really important topic and I thought that maybe finally I found manga which teaches girls that life isn't so nice and sweet. But nope!

I liked the concept, art and the pace of first chapter. However, what came after was quite disappointing. There was too much drama for such short story, events were unrealistic and personalities of the characters were just too unclear for me. Main heroine is quite nice girl, but the boys - especially Yuki - oh my, I can't stand them. Both of them act like lunatics, once they are understanding and overprotective, but later they are not so nice. OK, the situation is complicated, but it lacks consequence and reason. Besides that - for such short story, where author put so much action, there are too many unnecessary scenes. And finally, the ending is so much deux ex machina that it's quite awesome. Really, is making well-balanced story really that difficult?

It could be magnificent. It really could. But it's just decent I suppose - maybe good start made my expectations too high? I'm not sure.

This is my first time writing a "review" So sorry if it sounds slopy, & i'll try not to write any spoilers.

I enjoyed this managa a lot! I will defintly be re reading this one. (Once I forget the ending)

The story plot was very thought of & pland out. Not rushed. Normaly I can pradict if some thing is going to happen as read too much ^.^
But this one just kept me on edge wanting to know more & more. Wasn't easy to read into the next move there for I couldnt geuse. Which made it more exciting to read.

Souko is a troubled girl & dosn't like to show it. On the surface she is just like anyone. But deep down she has a dark secret. (You'll learn this soon enough or get a good hint at what it is in first chap.)

She wants to forget. Doesn't want to up set anyone ells. All people do is get hurt & cry all around her. All beacuse of her past.
After a talk with her friend decides to date this guy (Hiroto) to maybe forget her past...but as things progress with him the urge to tell him her secret is bubbling up with in her.
Things spril out of control not in a bad way just that things are moving fast and sudden.
When it comes to meeting people she did NOT expect to see the un expected.

If your emotional this will tug at your heart strings and you'll be exzorbed into the hole thing. If like me you'll cry at some things. ^.^

Hope I was helpful. Sorry about sp-E. (spelling Errors)
