Mistress Fortune · review
Mistress Fortune was something I picked up because I love Arina Tanemura. It is, as usual, a magical girl shojo romance(with some comedy). ~STORY~ It is very hard to have an exceptional story for a manga series as short as this(one volume?!). So it wasn't exceptional but it was still very good. It is about a girl named Kisaki who can transform into Fortune Tiara, a heroine with powers fighting of aliens. She teams up with her crush Giniro, who transforms into Fortune Quartz. I really liked the whole girl x boy team because it really tied into the romance. ~ART~ As expected of Tanemura, the art isgorgeous!!
~CHARACTER~
Kisaki: In love with Giniro; can transform into Fortune Tiara. She is very cute appearance wise but she is an airhead. But not the annoying kind, she is very funny and adorable.
Giniro: Handsome, can transform into Fortune Quartz. Surprisingly perverted, unlike Tanemura's other male leads. He is also kind of an airhead, on the outside at least. On the inside he is very caring and stubborn.
~ENJOYMENT~
For a one-volume series, it was pretty darn good. Of course, it is one volume so it is light and fun, no real concise plot. But it still deserves recognition because I really enjoyed it.
~OVERALL~
For a light Tanemura read, give it a try. Don't expect a genius plot or the best characters in the world because it is only one volume long.
