Fuuka manga deutsch

Fuuka is one of my two favorite ongoing manga available on CrunchyRoll (I’ve read the entire series over there, and am buying them as they come down in price here on Amazon to support the author and for the minor extras you get in the graphic novels). The art is clean and lovely, the story fantastic and compelling (the author is going to blindside you in chapter 36–volume 4–so consider yourself warned!), and the characters quite enjoyable and capable of growth/change.

This volume is the high point of the Fuuka manga series as a whole for me (as it currently stands; it’s still being written). It offers closure on the twist from the end of volume 4, and is what I consider to be the end of the first big story arc. If you’re going to read Fuuka at all, you need to read the first 8 volumes. I highly recommend them.

Fuuka does a whole lot of things incredibly right, and the first 8 volumes perfectly capture every one of them. The interesting, flawed–and most importantly–dynamic characters; the fact that even if you don’t care a fig for rock music performances/bands, you can still love the manga because the music is a vehicle for the story, not the point (this is not a music otaku’s manga, by any means, but the author is equally obviously knowledgeable of what goes into performing); the beautiful, clean art; the tastefully applied imaginative elements that really help bring the emotions and excitement of performing to life; and the fact that the author is entirely willing to lull you into a false sense of security with manga tropes, and then drop a bombshell on you. As I mentioned in my review of the first volume, literally the only thing holding me back from recommending this manga to everyone is the amount of needless fan service and light harem aspects.

manga tells the story of the various problems the band faces as they practise to perform at the upcoming school festival and beyond – but the anime had other ideas. Instead of making the music the focus of the story, the anime decided to go down the route of exploring a love triangle between Yuu, Fuuka and Yuu’s childhood friend, Koyuki Hinashi. In the manga this love triangle is also present but of less importance than the music, especially as early on Yuu very clearly has feelings for, and starts dating, Fuuka. In the anime Yuu and Koyuki become much closer than they ever do in the manga, until Yuu finally realises his feelings for Fuuka and decides to date her instead. This shift in focus leaves the musical side undeveloped and severely lacking.

This review is my first time attempting to cover an individual chapter of a current manga. Fuuka, if you recall from the CBMFP, was a story that I feel in love with hard! I mean over a hundred chapters in a day. I forgot to eat at one point and wondered why my head hurt because I was so into this story.
