Go Go Heaven 5
August 2, 2008
Um. This series still isn’t very good at telling a coherent story. I haven’t read it in awhile, and I had a hard time getting back into the swing of things because the first story (about Green becoming a singing sensation) read like it had panels missing in the beginning. You have to allow it this though, because otherwise you will not enjoy it at all.
Most of the volume deals with Shirayuki’s dark side, once again. This time, Heaven gets in on the action a little bit, and it’s revealed that Prince is slowly killing himself by using his remaining power to keep her dark side in check. Angels come down from heaven to monitor her, heaven plays tricks on Prince, and Shirayuki winds up having to stand trial for being a witch. The last chapter contains the trial parts, which were actually kind of good. At least for Go Go Heaven. We also get to see adult Prince again, at least for a little bit.
The story is still very jokey and full of gags while kind of maintaining this semi-serious plot and romance. It still doesn’t work, but I still kind of like it for its plot and romance despite the fact it is admittedly very bad and hasn’t improved very much over the course of five volumes. I think younger girls would enjoy this a lot more than me, though.
