Umi no Misaki [Manga] Review

Both art and story by: Kou Fumizuki

This Series for me seem a little simplistic is the way of art style but i think that is one of the biggest things that it has going for it. Now i know the image i used it all colorful and what not but for some reason i like it more without. When i said that the art style was simplistic i was meaning that for when it first started back in 2007 the styling feels a some what older.

The Story revolves around a boy name Goto Nagi and the cape maidens of Umi no Misaki. who worship and wait for the return of the dragon god. Nagi starts off with wanting/needing to go to this island in the southern part of japan, needing to because his father is working oversea an wants him to live in the house they have on the island but also he wanted to visit they place is mother [deceased] talk so fondly of. As you progress you learn why his mother talked so much about the cape to her son as he was once a cape maiden of the island. As the story moves on and gives some back-story on the tradition of the island, choices have to be made for Nagi which will not only affect the people of this island but also affect the way he starts to think of different things.

Almost forgot to mention that it can be ecchi at times which also makes fanservices a given, but i forgot about most of that as i continued on. All and all its a nice read which shows a bit of japanese folklore and instances of fate and how or if they can be changed.
