Komorebi no Kuni · review
The primary redeeming feature of this manga is the art. All four volumes are full color and gorgeously illustrated. The backgrounds are full and well detailed. Unfortunately, everything else about the manga leaves something to be desired. The description says that it takes place during the late industrial revolution, but you would hardly know it from reading the manga. There's not really anything in the story that has to do with the industrial revolution. For some reason, there are also armored knights, which were long outdated by the late industrial revolution. When you have a slice of life manga, thesetting and context are more important, since there is less plot development. Here, however, it feels like the setting and context are completely superfluous to anything happening in the story.
Another important part of slice of life manga are the characters. Here the characters are typical moe-blob. They don't have strong personalities and they don't really have any meaningful development and there's not much that challenges them. The characters look and act like modern (manga-based) school girls, so there's nothing that really places them as "industrial era high school girls." You might say that it's an example of 'cute girls doing cute things' but they don't really do much. The manga briefly touches on some developments that the characters could have, but none of them are pursued to any satisfying extent.
The four volumes are a quick read, but I would only recommend this if you are in the mood to enjoy some full color illustrations without really expecting much beyond that.
