Waltz wa Shiroi Dress de

Most people probably recognize this series due to Chiho Saito's involvement with Revolutionary Girl Utena. While some characters bear clear similarities to those in Utena, this manga manages to carve out its own identity and convey a distinct message.

The artwork is particularly delightful during the dance scenes, and although character designs generally stick to a common base, a few like Sajit truly stand out. Men tend to look quite similar, occasionally leading to confusion about who is who, but the women characters remain distinctive. The attention to detail in clothing design is another highlight; several of Koto's dresses showcase meticulous craftsmanship. The panels are laid out logically, making the manga easy to follow without much need for backtracking.

In terms of plot, it follows the classic trope of star-crossed lovers separated by time. However, without giving too much away, the story subverts the usual narrative of two individuals from different worlds. The series takes unexpected turns twice, yet manages to tie up loose ends convincingly without feeling contrived or rushed. There’s also potent commentary on interracial relations, showcasing Chiho Saito's penchant for challenging conventional norms, which is evident throughout the series.

The characters are another strong suit. Koto, the main heroine, is both strong and relatable. Despite being torn between love and family duty, she spends little time wallowing in self-pity. She shares some traits with Utena but clearly enjoys her femininity, which adds depth to her achievements. I wish we had more insight into Sajit's motivations, but what we see makes him endearing and flawed simultaneously. The primary love rival starts off as villainous and heartless but undergoes genuinely touching development towards the end. Even the stereotypical antagonistic sister elicits sympathy by the conclusion.

Overall, this is an enjoyable shoujo manga that stays true to its genre while attempting something unique. Fans of Utena will likely appreciate seeing prototype characters in a new setting and enjoy more of Saito's subtle yet beautiful artistry.

For real, its so dumb how the stupid twitter mob attacked the artist when it was the writer.

This isekai is quite decent. Most of the MC's interactions are wholesome, especially with Fikar and his antics. However, if chapter 12 is the last chapter, the ending is extremely horrible. It just suddenly ends without any reasons. Sumire's power, being liked by strange plants and animals, has yet to be explained fully. Even the reason she is in another world has not been explained. If this manga continues in the future, I will rate this 7 out of 10, but if it does not, 5.5 out of 10.

Probably because Author and Publisher wants a full adaptation of the Light Novel into the Manga.

You do know that, if they went the normal route of finishing one Part before starting another, it would take years to finish adapting the Manga, which could cause the Manga adaptation to get Axed (which commonly do happen).

Hmm I guess people has already gave up on this manga huh. Just me here.
