Happy Happy Clover 2
June 3, 2009
This is another kids manga with short chapters. Unlike the other one I’ve reviewed recently, Leave it to PET, this one has more normal stories with the usual kind of morals at the end.
The stories focus on a group of bunnies, Clover and her three friends, and their various adventures in the forest. In this volume, Clover learns the importance of getting and keeping a job, how to do a job right rather than fast, why you should always be nice to your parents, how to be Santa Claus, what to do in case a little girl decides to keep you as a pet, and other similar light, happy stories. There’s never anything too scary going on, and for the most part, Clover just runs around and has fun with her friends. This volume contains 13 stories, each about 15 pages long. Each story is followed by a cramped little cartoon corner that usually gives more background on a character or whatever happened in the previous chapter, and the end of the book contains several four-panel strips.
Hmm. Well, obviously this isn’t something I would pick up for myself, but I also have to admit I liked it a little less than some of the other kids manga I’ve read lately like Leave it to PET and The Big Adventures of Majoko. It’s not really annoying to read, and there’s nothing bad in it, so I’m sure it’ll appeal to little girls that like to watch friends of the forest frolicking and being cute together.
