Ebisu-san to Hotei-san · review
This is an amazing series, not too slow, nor fast but extremely sweet and heartwarming. This is a story about 2 female co-workers, who initially dislike each other but gradually grow closer upon understanding and various encounters. Story:9 The story is excellent. Over 5 chapters, one can explicitly feel the gradual change between the 2 women's relationship and the decisions made. Although this is a Shoujo Ai series, the story progresses in a way that the reader would be able to understand the feelings that were awakened. It is laden with explanations and deep thoughts, although the ending could end being a little more solid. The story seemsto be rushed towards the end, and some needed explanations were excluded, which was a shame. A sequel would fit nicely :D.
Art:9 (By Kizuki Akira)
Art was crisp, clear and absolutely lovely.
Character:8
There were 3 main characters, and within 5 chapters, several issues with the 3 main characters were dealt with excellently.
Character development: Hotei-san, Ebisu-san and Ebisu's sisters were developed nicely, especially the later 2.
Character interaction: A little confusing between some interations between Hotei-san and Ebisu's sister, but others were good.
Character relationship: Nicely done
Enjoyment:9
I enjoyed this series from the first chapter. It kept me captivated till the end... amazing given that I usually do not favour much of shoujo ai and yuri series since usually, the feelings are not explained properly. Same goes for some harem, yaoi etc. series.
I read some of Satou Nanki's other works too, and I love his/her style of presenting the story. Guess I will read other works by him/her now :D.
Overall:9
A light read, given it has only 5 chapters, but not a shred of time wasted reading this. Highly recommended.
