How do I begin here… it sure has been quite some time since my last review on either anime or manga. English is neither my main language, soo… expect some grammatical errors yeah! Nonetheless, I will try to keep this review simple and straightforward. Kinsou no Vermeil (KNV) may seem unpopular and somewhat clichéd; however, it sparks a bright light along the way as I read through the chapters. KNV are one of those mangas that seemed generic and clichéd, yet irresistibly addictive and enjoyable. The writer introduces the main characters in a way where we can slowly learn their characteristics as the story goes on (Iguess that’s how all characters are introduced, but in this case it’s in a good way).

Our main protagonists, Alto, is described as a shy yet brave and heroic deep inside his heart. This may be generic and clichéd, and I agree with that. This is nothing new compared to other characters, which in my opinion is okay. Moving on, Vermeil, is described as a cheeky one-san with her own issues as the story goes on.
What I liked about the author’s approach to Vermeil is the way that her character development is done in a way that it gives you the fuzzy feeling of wholesomeness. In my experience, this kind of character development is rather rare, idk maybe it’s just me who can’t clearly see other character development. I don’t want to get into much detail here since it will spoil the story.

Visual-wise, the artist did a really good job here. Even though Alto seems a little generic compared to other shota-oneesan-kind-of-manga, Vermeil and other side characters was designed in a way that is unique and refreshing to see. Visual effects like fight scenes are well drawn and clear to see, and importantly text bubbles (or whatever they call it) were placed in the proper spots, making it easy to read and see the illustrations at the same time.

TL: DR, good manga, kind of cliché yeah whatever we all know what it is. Illustrations were done well, making it refreshing to read this occasionally. Characters are very likeable and enjoyable to see their developments. Really looking forward to the upcoming chapters.
7.5/10 nice!
