[Forgive me for my messy-ness.. >< My first time writing a review on Myanimelist ;w;]

Here we go!:

Aki did a very, very good job on this series. However, I wouldn't recommend Olimpos to readers who are new to Aki's works.

Cons: Why? This series is extremely confusing to readers who aren't used to Aki's storytelling style. For instance, many readers complained how the plot was confusing and strange. But for other readers, like me, who have had experience reading works of Aki understood it fine. So the only way for one to understand the plot is to either read a lot of Aki/ get used to her style or pay an extraordinary attention to the details. [hint: pay more attention to Apollo and hades' dialogs; they help a lot :D]

Another problem I need to address is "overly girly looking" guys. |||OTL There's also been a lot of complaints from readers saying that the guys are almost indistinguishable between females. I have to agree with this actually, though I really liked their designs... lol

Also, Olimpos need more background in the panels Oo' Even though the character designs are well-drawn, it can't be an excuse for so many empty/white backgrounds ^^'

Pros: The art is awesome-sauce [besides the background and character design problem]. So I have to say, Olimpos is the most detailed and proportionally accurate manga I've ever read. So if you're the type of person who obsesses over art in a manga, this is for you.

Aki did a very good job researching. Most of the mythological and historical information stated are actually accurate. [usually in many manga the author would twist historical information to fit their story] Also, her choice of using Ganymede as a main character is surprising [in a good way] since Ganymede's abduction isn't exactly a popular story...

Overall: Confusing, strange, detailed, beautiful, and a work of art. This can be either a light reading as Aki had suggested, or it can be pretty serious. Just keep in mind that all the scenes and dialogs aren't there for no reason, so pay attention to everything while reading if you want to actually understand the manga.

Thank you for reading and I hope this'll help orz...
