Zero-calorie fluff, redeemed (but not made worthwhile) by the climactic girl/girl kiss. Got this and the next volume via a book exchange, and they will be going right back out the door. ( )

OMG THIS SERIES.

When is the new one? Where can I get an Aries bloodstone necklace? can I totally cosplay Kim for Halloween?! ( )

I'm impatient for the sequel to Kevin Panetta's Bloom to come out, so I thought I'd try some other of his works to tide me over. All my local library had was this children's series about magical girls fighting some evil woman from another dimension. Very generic and a bit ho-hum.

I have the second volume on hand, so I'll give it a go to see if things pick up. ( )

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

This is the type of comic I normally wouldn't admit I'd read, but I ended up liking this more than I thought. Would I recommended this to other, probably not, this isn't everyone cup of tea. How much cuteness and girl power can you handle?

Why am I reading this? Because I actually really like magical girls. There was a thought in my mind that I could end up regretting this based on the fact that it could just be a bunch of randomness, but it actually has a decent story. You have 4 (to start with) girls that posses the power to become like Sailor Scouts to fight monsters. Seems like a cute idea, but there some heavy drama in this comic book as well. Early on, you find out Emma's mother is dead which leads to conflict.

The writing in this isn't the best sometimes, it feel off, but other time is actually pretty decent. I was surprised this was written by a man actually, you can't tell which is a good thing. What stands out with this comic though is the art. It's really cute. Not only that, but it's full of color. Might be a turn of for some, but I think with this book it helps and fit well.

This book reminded me of Sailor Moon obviously, but I think fans of Steven Universe might enjoy this as well. Now I wait for the second volume and that one looks fun because it looks like they introducing new zodiac sings. Still haven't seen any Scorpio's though. ( )
