Convenient semi -draft volume 1 Review • UK News anime

Sun is a very shy girl who does not have friends and describes herself as a “bullet of anxiety”, so when the high school begins, she decides to leave home and live in a dormitory of her school to finally make friends. On the first day, she meets her neighbor’s room in a very compromise position with another girl. Sun is very confused; Is that what friends do? She begs her hand to help her and agrees to become fwb: “friends with preferences.” For Sun, this means that it can finally grow comfortably around other people and make friends; However, for the hand it means something completely different …

This is still the only work of Minori Chigus, which has been translated into English, but they are an experienced Manga in Japan, with several series under their belt. Usually they focus on school conditions, but have a combination of hetero, boys and girls under their belt, but with more stories of girls’ love in general.

With a mature book and above, it is safe to say that this book contains available topics and sexual poses; There is no sex in this book, but some large plans of bodies and the like are, and it is clear that your hand has extensive experience with sex, so it is safe to save safely, it will be more even when the series progresses. There is also an unbalanced dynamics of relationships, due to the fact that Sun is a very lonely girl who mistakes sexy fun times of hands as just two hangers hanging. It is mostly ‘They seem to be very good friends“The meme is embodied, but it is a protected young girl who used a hand who manages to convince her new room that touching every semi-cotito-is absolutely what friends are doing! Hand is a smart, sexy street, which is very experienced in sex and even earned a reputation among her peers. But it is rejected by the sincere nature of the sulfur, and it turns out that it moves the simplest touches from the sun, which completely panic and goes into collapse from the slightest touch. It is an interesting dynamics that shows that sex is not all that closeness is more than just a seizure of boobs and penetrating sex. In addition, it has been found that Sun is not very smart, needs to study with her to help her catch up with the class. Therefore, in some way, despite the fact that it is unilateral in terms of the dynamics of power, this hand puts all the work in the relationship! So strangely, it’s a semi -balance. However, I would say that a hand is a more interesting one of the couple, not only sexual experience, but also intelligent at school, as well as a sense of humor, with an expanding group of friends who add the dynamics of the series as the manga progresses. Sun, however, was less interesting for me, thanks to its alarming and innocent nature, it is used as a recurrent swing, so it is unlikely to develop above the book.

If you have seen preview pages, you will notice that this book seems to be a mixture of traditional and 4-panel manga style, and this is because it is so; About 70-80% of the book is 4-panel style, but the rest-traditional manga style is usually reserved for even or emotional parts of the book, where sexual justice makes it more spread. In Manga’s Notes behind Mangaka says they are grateful that the magazine Kirara allowed them to do it, but I have to admit, I didn’t like it back and back. Mangaka had previously made another 4-panel style, but most of their work was in a traditional style. You can say from this series where their strengths lie, because the manga is much easier to read, and the art of characters gives a place to breathe in a traditional style, especially when it is saved at great moments. However, when we move on to 4-panel style, it is very close, difficult to say who sometimes says, and there are many panels with too large text. This did not help that the advantage of Managak was to express the alarm of the Suna comedic or the highest designs that fill the whole boxes, and therefore you are not there. I had to swing several times to read the panels and I wear glasses! So I found that I feel a claustrophobic, reading a 4-panel style, and then breathing with relief when he returned to the traditional style.

The art is quite good, though. I like a girl’s characteristic designs: Sun with her curvilinear body but long hair [where she hides her expressions behind]While in the hand there is shorter hair with cool star clips, which reflects its brighter personality, plus long nails and cool expression, show its dominance.

Translated by Giuseppe di Martino I found a more mixed bag; There are a few sentences that were a little awkward to read, but I could put it in a tight frame of the manga itself. But this also applies to the name; In the original Japanese hand, he calls his satellite comrades as “Sefure” or “Semi-World”, which is obviously the mistakes of Sun as a typical innocent “friend” way, and therefore it concerns the title. However, in English translation, the hand says “FWB” or “friends with benefits”, which is of particular importance in the West, and again it is easy to understand why Sun was mistaken with this phrase as innocent because it does not know context, but now it is no longer concerned with the title. They mention the “half -rise” in the middle of the book, but they mainly follow “FWB” in dialogue, so it is a very clumsy connection with the title.

Convenient semi -draft – This is the name of disorderly dynamics, comedy shyness and lesbians who study closeness in a new context for a potentially interesting series. A mixture of traditional and 4-panel manga style has rejected me a lot of time and complicated reading this volume time, but if you consider the assumption interesting, be sure to check it.
