Maga-Tsuki review

Maga-Tsuki in my opinion is a harem that has a fairly unoriginal plot in that it focuses on the "goddess coming to Earth and falling in love" scenario that I myself see quite a lot in the world of anime and manga. However, having an unoriginal plot doesn't mean that this manga is doing anything wrong, or that I disliked it. On the contrary, I am enjoying it and can see myself enjoying it for the rest of its publication. Let's look at why:

Story: 6
As mentioned above, the story itself is nothing overly interesting, with one of the plot keys being instantly relatable to that of Double Arts by KOMI Naoshi. To those of you that read both, you will know what I mean. Aside from that though, as of yet, there isn't anything overly original. However, that is okay since it is a school life manga.

Art: 9
The art is great, with the characters being well drawn and flushed out, while not being overly detailed to the point that you feel like you're reading a piece of fine art. The characters are cute and funny when they need to be, and also comical and serious at the right times. I also like the character designs, especially that of our main character's childhood friend Akari. The backgrounds, while sometimes lacing detail, give of a surreal environment that closely matches the goddess premise that this story takes place in.

Character: 7
The characters are all quite good, having distinct personalities and backstories behind some of them that add depth to the character. Only being 16 chapters in, there is character development happening, but whether that will continue is hard to say. The characters are good, and the only reason I give a 7 instead of 8 is because they all fit the stereotypical roles, with possibly the exception of one. You have the tsundere, the childhood friend and the overly innocent one, as well as the overly serious one (The overly serious one has only made one appearance up to where I have read, so I cannot say for sure that she is part of the harem). However, that is not to say that they do not execute these roles well, which they do.

Enjoyment: 8
Being the kind of manga reader and anime viewer that I am, I really enjoy romantic comedies and slice of life. I don't know why, but I do. That's why, while this story up to now lacks too much serious plot or drama, I am fine with that. The comedy does its part and is funny. The art is great and the characters have wonderful personalities. I also love a great romance, and while it is a harem, each of the girls have their own legitimate reason for loving our main character, and it isn't hard to find at least one to sympathize with and root for.

Overall: 8
If you're one for high action, scintillating dialogue and deep, philosophical/psychological real world connections, this isn't for you. This manga so far embraces its identity as a romantic comedy slice of life, and therefore does not appeal to those who do not enjoy those genres. However, if you enjoyed things like Nisekoi, Chuunibyou or perhaps the less well known Mahoraba, then this is definitely something to throw on your watch list because they are all very similar, and are all great reads/watches.

Note: Akari for the win!
