Re: 31 Ai Dream: Quasi Maho-Shojo with a twist?
A remarkably well written review. I used to do review's on short stories some of the authors would put on here and this specific manga had caught my eye somewhat. I had thought about several times on writing a review for it, but the problem was, I didn't know how I felt about it.
Process wise, it's very lacking in, despite her multiple transformations, from what I can remember. You only ever see any type of process the first time, but! The story line that is presented to you, is superb. It really delves into the problems associated with something like this happening and a human being trying to live two lives and what that entails. The writing is very well done and the characters excellently flushed out.
So for process material, this really isn't the type of manga you'll want to go to. For amazing story line, characters and the duality of a transformation. This is the Manga you'll want to stare at for long periods at a time, reading in your highback chair, smoking a cigar and going, "Well I say.." It's just that high class.
I can't recommend this manga enough if your into maho-shojo and give it a chance even if your not. Since as the person above me has alluded to, it goes against some of the grain that is a modern maho-shojo manga.
