I’m not a big Io Sakisaka fan, considering most of her manga tends to be the same story with different characters. As i discovered Omi, Omoware, Furi, Furare i was quite excited for a different plot and something new. So i decided to give it a shot. It turned out to one of Sakisaka poorest work and the most boring manga.


Story: (F) - The story is pretty simple, it center around four characters (Yuna, Akari, Rio, and Kazuomi) who have different views about love: Yuna, the main heroine, is someone who sees love as a fairy tale, finding a prince and living happier ever after. While, Akari is someone sees love as a commitment and a serious issue. Rio in the other hand, is someone who hides his feelings and doesn’t really express it. And finally, Kazuomi is your average teen who doesn’t understand the concept of love and doesn’t notice the obvious.

This could be a pretty interesting story, i mean seeing how these characters view love could potentially change the way love should to be viewed in general. But the author fails to achieve this goal. In the beginning of the story, we have Yuna who mysteriously meets her ‘prince’ she then meets Akari and befriends her. Yuna later finds out that her ‘prince’ happens to be Akari’s brother (Rio), who is in love with Akari. Then, we have Akari who is in love with Kazumoi who might be in love with her too? Okay.. seriously? It’s been five chapters and we have this huge love triangle already. I thought the story was about different point of views of love? Not some love triangle. Bu then again, Io Sakisaka always includes love triangles in her work. It's basically about Akari being loved by to the two main characters. While Yuna is just there. It seems like the mangaka forgot about her, leaving Yuna wishing Rio likes her, how much she likes him, crying all the time, being afraid to confess because she doesn’t want to get rejected, and feeling sorry Rio, Blah Blah Blah. Not only does this story already suck, it’s so boring! The dialog is cheesy and lacks it’s seems like their only vocabulary is ehh? The story itself, is pretty much about Yuna and Akari liking someone who doesn’t like them back. So far, it doesn’t interest me.


Art: (A+) - The art in Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare is good no complaints.


Characters: (D) - The characters in OOFF might actually be worse than the story. I found Yuna to be really annoying. She reminds me and acts like Ninako from Strobe Edge. Which i am not surprised since it’s written by the same mangaka. She constantly staring at Rio like a hawk watching every movement and happens to be wherever he’s at (stalker much?). She is very shy, quiet and stutters. Akari, is decent i guess she has this bitchy attitude towards her brother and mother but acts like an angel when around Kazumoi. She also selfish. Rio is your tall, dark, mysterious fuckboy who rejects confessions left to right. He also very jealous and protective when it comes to Akari. I found him to be really boring and stiff he’s pretty much Ren and Andou (from Strobe Edge) combined. Kazumoi is barely shown in the manga we don’t know much about his character but so far, he’s friendly, nice, and clueless. There aren’t many side characters.


Enjoyment: (F) - If you already couldn't tell I pretty much hate this manga. It’s just BORING! There’s nothing interesting about it. I don’t understand why i expected this manga to be good, knowing that i don’t like any Sakisaka-sensei’s work.


Overall: (F) - OOFF story is probably one of the most boring manga i’ve ever read.. If you like a semi-romantic manga with a pointless love triangle, boring characters, boring story, then this manga is for you. If you're like normal people out there then you'll definitely stay away from this one and spare yourself some time.
