Cheeky Angel 16
Posted: February 18, 2007 Filed under: Cheeky Angel 2 Comments »Now I have a mildly disturbing Dorian avatar! Hooray for that, now the floating box at the top of all my edit windows begging me for one will go away. Anyway, I had meant to read three manga last night before going to bed, but I barely got through this one before it put me to sleep. Marathoning this series in 3 or so volume chunks is probably a good idea, and maybe I will with the last four volumes, but it’s hard to convince myself to read it. I just don’t like it.
One thing I should mention, which I haven’t yet but is very important, is the manly man jokes. These started off rather tiresome, but persist ever since… well, forever. The characters, including Miki and Meg, judge each others actions by how many they percieve them. Sometimes their judgements don’t make much sense, but the judgements literally come after everything each character does. As I said, it is rather tiresome, but now it’s become funny through persistence. It cracked me up everytime the judgement was pronounced in this volume.
There’s some light spoilers in the next section, but nothing that’s going to ruin the plot too badly for you.
Once again, spoilers.
The plot is getting a bit better, too. They’ve found another magic book to try and counteract the effects of the wicked clown, and that so far has made it much better, mostly because we get a little Kappa now. I have no idea where the plot is going or what the Kappa will have them do, but the story leading up to the Kappa and the story that seems to be coming after are definitely a step up. Otherwise, this series is still tiresome, thank God it’s winding down soon. Maybe it’ll do something awesome in the end.
