Dazzle Volume 1 Minari Endoh Books

It's so nice to see a heroine that can take care of herself. This book isn't some teenage love story either, though its only the first book, I have a feeling this story might actually have depth. You'll love the Manga's odd humor, and even odder outlook on life. Hope you are as entertained as I.

Dazzle Volume 1 Minari Endoh Books Reviews

I have to say this is one of my favorite manga series. It's a lot of fun, I enjoy the humor to it, it's got drama and a touch of romance going on. Adventures, tragedy, character growth and a slow-building, yet complex plot. I highly recommend it!

The only problem is the first volume is a little rough. The mangaka (author) hasn't quite gotten her drawing style for the seires quite figured out in the first volume, so some of the drawings aren't quiet up to scratch - but they really improve as it goes along. I love the gothic/lolita fashion of the main character, and she has a really quirky personality, that seems heartless in the beginning, but then you find out what really runs beneath her surface, which isn't heartless so much as practical, brave, and caring. But she doesn't like to show it, because her past is pretty dark. Most of all she believes in people sticking up for themselves and being self-sufficent, so she tries to make everyone stand on their own two feet and be responsible for themselves.

The first volume doesn't show much of the plotline yet - it's more a character introduction filled with some fun adventures. As the series continues you find out that even the small side characters all have their own story the define their character. And her father kicking her out in the first volume? Let's just say that it's not entirely what it seems like.

A small warning though - don't take this series to be realistic. It's got magic in it, characters that aren't always entirely... human? There are quirky moments that aren't realistic, but provide a lot of humor. But it's the sort of stuff I've come to expect from fantasy shojo manga, so it's not a surprise to me, and in truth I enjoy it quiet a bit.

I would give this a five star rating, except as I said - the first book is a little rougher than the rest of the series. It's still a good book, but don't judge the series purely by the first book. Sometimes for authors it can be a little rough during the first book or two when starting a new series - but that doesn't mean the series aren't great. It just means the author was still finding their stride in the beginning. Dazzle is one of those series. Some of my most favorite series are like that. Skip Beat is my all-time favorite manga so far, and I really didn't like the first book of that series either - I just kept reading out or boredom because my local library had the series and it slowly started growing on me until I just realized I'd read several books of the series and couldn't stop! I'm so addicted to that series. But I really wasn't into it in the beginning. Some series are just like that for me. Dazzle I enjoyed from the get-go, but I just got into it more and more as it's progressed.
You know what this manga is about (now, anyway) from the -provided synopsis, so I won't rehash. I will let you know what it doesn't cover. This manga is actually well, though unusually, drawn, the characters all sport Lolita-complex looks for the most part (guys are just cute and street-creepy yay!), and the charcters sort of evolve over the entire volume as to their age and expressions.
The main protagonists are both sorcerers, though the guy, Alzeid, rarely relies on his powers. Through a lot of enjoyable bickering, he and Rahzel begin a very sweet, yet very messy relationship/partnership that I, against that society-grown better judgement (circa. America- ugh!), find myself rooting for turning truly romantic (by the way, he's 24. She's... 14 -_-").
Anyway, she's actually NOT a ditz, she's VERY strong, and he's the kind of guy that feels better when she's threatening to kill/beat/maime him (*NOT* in a pathetic way. He just knows that she's feeling okay when she's being her usual 'evil-eye-with-a-soft-spot' self). Throughout the volume they have about three strange adventures involving a ghost, a thief, and a kid whose protectors are old army 'buddies' of Alzeid's (he's 24, remember?). Each tell you alittle more about the backgrounds and general mindsets of the characters, individual or together, and you come to realize from picture #1 that any semblance to Yuki of Fruits Baskets fame (i.e. silver hair, a *lot* touch-me-not, and powerful... + watching out for homeless dark-haired girl) are taken up to a much more approachable (ifyoudon'tmindaguninyourface) and rebellious level. Makes it much more worth the money if you want a new slant, believe me, and older guys are incredibly under-rated. ...Just a few reasons Actual chest definition and real (albeit unlawful) jobs!
Back when Tokyo Pop was licensing big chunks of random manga, selections veered to the very good and some very bad titles. This is one of the latter lazy writing, lacklustre storylines, and cliche stock characters. It's everything that can be bad in Japanese manga condensed into one boring and trite story.

Plot In a fantasy land that is pretty much modern day but without so much technology, a girl who can do magic is suddenly told by her father to go out into the world that day and explore. So she does, meets a random guy who is moody and withdrawn, and our perky little heroine demands to team up with him to find a gun. Cue pointless drama.

So, I wouldn't have enough room in this review to list all the cliches. The most egregious include standard perky stupid tsundere, moody love interest with secret history, all side characters being cardboard cutouts, and your usual random gothic character designs. Add in NO attempt at world building whatsoever, a complete lack of logic in the plot or people, and incomprehensible interactions and dialogue and you get a hot mess.

The illustration work is awful - highly inconsistent with people changing looks often, facial features moving around constantly, and terrible anatomy and action scenes. I'm surprised anyone could like this when it is so lazy - no attempt was made to do anything than just write a perky story with an annoying and completely unlikable set of characters that the author/mangaka must have thought charming.

I'd avoid this one - it's not even worth reading as a time waster. Your time should be worth more than this.
