The Devil & Her Love Song (Manga Review)

Story- In "The Devil and Her Love Song" a girl named Kawai Maria transferred from her old all girls Catholic school to Touzuka High School. It is a public school that has horrible standards. Maria is very observant and is honest. I mean she is the personification of truth serum. She can actually sense your true feelings. She is very sharped of tongue and straightforward with everyone. This makes people call her the devil. However she sings like an angel! Only two boys at the school talk and associate with Maria. Will she drive them away with her devilish charm or win them with her angelic voice?


I love this manga. It is well written and the characters easy to connect to in a high school setting. People are misunderstood and sometimes it can lead to isolation and bullying. I for one commend Maria for being herself throughout the manga and seeing the people around her understand and come to like her. She is my favorite character. The themes of judgement, what people are truly thinking, being who you are, and most importantly learning about the truth, is what makes this manga a must read for everyone. I almost cried at one point of the story because it is so powerful and it really speaks out to me.


Art- The art in the manga (as you can see fro this picture) is gorgeous. It has its own unique style that I love. It really sets the groundwork for this type of story line.


Final Grade A+ 10/10- I love this manga so much and it goes to show to never "judge a book by it's cover." Manga Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
