Himekei♥Doll
Anime Relations: Kuragehime
Today's entry is to discuss Himekei♥Doll, a Manwha, but the Anime Relations are two Anime diving into the theme of fashion that I'd recommend over Himekei♥Doll.
I finally finished the series, and found myself switching my preliminary review of the series from mixed to not recommended. And I stand by what I said, that the story is degrading to females, and that was only three chapters in. As for how bad this one is, this one trivializes the subject of rape and has the boyfriend's store
Of course, with how rushed to fixing the conflict was, I have the feeling the creator was told the series was going to be canceled and they needed to wrap things up so they pulled the above spoiler out of the air and ran with it. There's never one thought about whether it is realistic or not, the way the guy falls for her, but she's going to in effect be a fashion designer
Oh, and the main character can't stop crying. She finds something to get upset about every single chapter it seems, manages to gain two rivals more so because of who her boyfriend is while the creator wants us to think she's amazing as noted under the spoiler. It's all dazzle and not substance with this one.
And yeah... I recomend Kuragehime and Paradise Kiss over this, with the later getting dark at times like this series was going - in fact, I wonder if it was trying to mimic the success of Paradise Kiss without putting the same effort in, or understanding why Paradise Kiss worked. It wasn't just the bad boy vibes, but the female character coming into her own, which the female character of this Manwha never does come into her own. Actually, Kuragehime is also about girls coming into their own, and another thought is while the recommended series feature girls who don't stand out, this particular Manwha tries to have a character the writer wants us to believe is the same way, but is instead drop dead gorgeous without any help, although she claims other wise.
And she's a ditz, while the main characters from the other series aren't. They're a classic nerd, which I also have to wonder if the creator understood what a nerd is as it seems to be just used as a stand in for "loser" with characters that in the given setting would be the farthest from being a nerd.
