Reviews for Harukana Receive

BEACH VOLLEYBALL/ GIRLS ONLY / BIKINIS I am a simple man... I see bikini pictures, I click to read... Beach vollyball... ok, for sure... because it means more bikini moment. This manga is so well drawn; however, the setup and the plot for the story is questionable and generic. Some minor spoiler* Story: 5 Pro:1. Educational towards some volleyball or beach volleyball concept

2. Girls + Bikini (from a male perspective)

3. matches are realistic and short (each match will take only a chapter so far)

Con:

1. No male in the story... literally, with this kind of manga, we need some males to spice things up. I guess male doesn't exist (for this story) ;(

2. The background and the start is too "all-of-the sudden". Like in the first chapter, the mangaka wants to throw in arrival, main character introduction, sport all in 34 pages.

Art: 10

Literally, the only reason I read this manga. This category definitely carried the rest of the categories. The girls are all so cute... Adding to the theme of the manga.

[10][10][10][10][10] OWO

Character: 6

ok... if the main character has nothing too special, don't expect the supporting casts to be special too. The character setup is way too generic.

new to sport-> plays the sport-> loves the sport-> craves to win -> win(supposedly and hopefully LOL)

Enjoyment: 7

Hmm, I enjoy the drawings a lot... but not the story... I will save a few chapters and read it all at once in a fast pace.

Overall: 6.5

Art is the only reason I read. I don't think I will try to remember the plot of the story as it doesn't matter as much. But, this is a good manga just to scroll through pages and pages and enjoy the drawing healthily.

To sum things up, if you want to read this manga to gain some life lessons. Please don't... If you want to relax and see cute girls wearing bikinis, read it and pass this manga to people who want the same thing.

I have to give the author a firm handshake and a big thumbs up. I actually enjoy this type of manga. Girls in a bikini playing beach volleyball is an absolute win. I will try to make this review as short as possible so as not to waste anyone's time. (5/10) Story: We got here are just mainly high school girls playing beach volleyball as a sport and trying to win the tournament. There's nothing exciting (for me), so there isn't much to the story except girls training to be good beach volleyball players. Well, if you like beach volleyball, then this type of storymight be good for you. It explains rules and how beach volleyball works, so that might be something you might like if you are into that stuff. In short, it's connecting friends with beach volleyball. Most of the time, I wasn't even paying attention to the story.

(8/10) Characters: There is nothing special worth mentioning, and each of every character has a good personality, and some have a back story of how it happened or why it happened those types of things. But it's mostly focused on character growth, so I guess that's a good thing. Plus, there aren't any characters that would make you annoyed or frustrated. Only growth.

(10/10) Art/Drawing: Absolutely amazing. However, I just want to add that sometimes the head might be a little small compared to the body, but that might be just me. Other than that, very good.

Conclusion: If you don't like the art style or girls in bikinis that will be on in almost every chapter, then please move on. If you like sports or team sports and don't mind the bikini, then you might enjoy it, but I can't guarantee that you will enjoy the story. Now, the real reason why I enjoy this manga is because, obviously, girls in bikinis aren't something you get to read every day. Plus, all the girls are super cute, and I like their swimsuits. I salute the author for his effort and the story as well. Every time I read it, I smiled. So, thank you, author, and I mean it.
