di Gramedia Digital


lumayan seru, .
Synopsis:

An actionpacked shonen fantasy from the acclaimed author of Fushigi Yûgi! In a mythical world where humans and gods coexist, Arata has the unfortunate honor of being the successor to the matriarchal Hime Clan.
This means he has to pretend to be a girl or face death if his true gender is discovered! On the day of his inauguration, an assassination plot forces him to fleeand he somehow winds up in modernday Japan! Meanwhile, a boy named Arata Hinohara gets sucked into the first Aratas world and finds himself dealing with people after his life!

My Thoughts:

This gets off to an interesting start.
I'm not expecting much, but I do expect Yuu Watase's usual style, Lots of magic and drama and action,

So far, I like both Aratas, but I like the long, blackhaired Arata best, I hope to see just as much of him as Arata Hinohara, even though the main story is really about him, I have to wonder if the two of them will switch back to their own worlds at the end of the series, Considering that only Hinohara is the sho for the hayagami passed down through the hime clan, I don't see how that is possible, Especially with what the princess asked of him, Who knows, maybe they'll both be better suited to the worlds they've ended up in

I foresee romance between Arata of the modern world and Kotoha.
No surprise since Watase is known for her romance, I have good memories of reading Yuu Watase's mangas, even if the didn't age very well, but most of the stories I read from her had teenager girls as main characters.
. . and they were really bland for the most part, So, when I found this manga lying around in my favorite local public library, I was quite intrigued by this one, Heey, I male protagonist for a change! Let's see how the story changes,

Turns out the story is SO MUCH BETTER, Unlike all stories I had read from Yuu Watase, once the gender of the main character changes, the focus is no longer on the romance, which I can greatly appreciate.
It certainly would be nice to read Watase's stories with female characters that were as spirited as the Arata from the fantastic world, Both Arata are very likeable and Hinohachi is very relatable,

Watase's drawing style is as impeccable as ever, I may not have enjoyed her previous stories as much, but I can definitely appreciate her outfit designs,

I'm looking forward to read the next volume of the series! Dunia mitos di mana dewadewi yang jumlahnya tak terhingga hidup bersama dengan manusia, Upacara pewarisan tahta akan diadakan oleh ratu yang telah memerintah negera selamatahun, Akan tetapi, karena di klan hime tidak dikaruniai anak perempuan, maka Arata, seorang pemuda menghadiri upacara dengan memakai baju perempuan

Sementara itu, di zaman modern, Arata Hinohara, siswa kelasSMU, berusaha melupakan masa lalunya yang pahit dan memulai kehidupan SMU yang baru, tapi! Inilah cerita fantasi dua dunia yang berbeda yang digambarkan dengan pandangan dunia dan skala yang luas!

Editors Note
Pengarang sudah terkenal di Indonesia
Status di Jepang:volume masih bersambung I picked up three volumes from the library.
I am a huge fan of Fushigi Yugi and wanted to see what else Yuu Watase had done,

The story line was very interesting, But the way the graphics moved the story along left me, quite often, feeling like I was missing something,

A few days passed after I read the first book and I just have no urge to read the other two, even though I could do it in a single sitting.
I would consider this my first true Manga or at least my first true fiction Manga,
It was fine. I'm interested in pursuing the story a little bit, I don't care for the over exaggeration of features to convey emotion but that's not a deal breaker,
I LOVE Kotoha!! I also really like both Arata's and do want to learn more about them navigating their new worlds, We will see. My daughter has it now that might inform how much we pursue the series : I have read up tovolumes of Arata: The Legend, it's a good, fast paced, action themed fantasy series.


The main concept of the story is based on both parallel universes and also on the Japanese creation myths: Arata is a teenage boy from a parallel world which looks quite similar with the mythical ancient Japan, he is the sole heir of the decaying Hime clan and this means he must pretend to be a young maiden and be sent to the capital in order to be the successor of the Hime Queenan ageless, halfdeity queen with unearthly power obviously the Queen is based on the legendary sitelinkQueen Himiko from the Japanese myths.


However, things have gone terribly wrong with Arata when he travels to the Queen's palace: the Queen is assassinated and fatally wounded by her trusted generals who possess different supernatural weapons and power.
Arata is framed as the assassin, now he has to run for his life, but as he runs to the sacred forest he accidentally breaks into another world: the modernday Japan.
Just when Arata is sent magically to Japan, in his place, a Japanese boy named Arata Hinohara is also sucked to Arata's world, Now this other Arata is forced to fight to recuse the Hime Queen and clean his/Arta's name, while Arata has to figure things out in the modern Japanese society and protect Arata Hinohara's family.


This series has a good mixture of prettily drawn characters, awesome setting, finely designed weapons, comical movements and a fast paced and enjoyable story line, The two Aratas are very different in personality, it is always fun to see how people react around them and how the two Aratas grow as characters when they meet other people.
Although some parts of the story can be quite cliched, e, g. the modernday Arata is a bit too much of an allround nice guy and there already are two pretty girls falling for him, etc, Still, I'm looking forward for more developments from this story and I want to see how this story will end, Plot

OverallAgain, trying something different and while it had elements I do like, this format is not right for me.
I'd rather a novelization that is not mangaoverthetop as this is, And another Yuu Watase manga I love, I don't think I'll ever read one of hers I don't love,

And hey, boy main character this time, I think I'm finally getting used to the way a manga reads I'm fairly new to the genre and don't have many others to compare it to yet i have to say I liked this way more then the other manga series i read Absolute Boyfriend by the same author this was just more up my alley the plot was good and less silly fast paced and action packed i can't wait to read vol.
and get more involved in this world, Edisi baca ulang di GD, Soalnya koleksi buku fisiknya nggak lengkap haha,

Kangen bats sama Yuu Wataseeee



Pembuka yang appealing! Yah, seperti biasa, selalu suka karya Yuu Watase, Mau dicampur legenda, fantasi, ya suka, . . : A quick paced manga that hasdifferent worlds involved, No adult content so I would probably recommend to my middle school students, I can see this developing into a fun manga, thest book just focuses on story set up, character set up, and social interactions, Now that I sit and think what I read it was very simple story, but it will perhaps be one of those books that develops the characters and you get to grow with them.
Wow. I am into this! It's great! I keep wavering betweenand, because when you get down to it, it's a effective but still generic isekai, yet somehow it works for me.
The anime was better SNS Much too generic, Arata was very different than what I was expecting, . . in a good way. If you have ever read anything by Yuu Watase, such as Fushigi Yugi, then you know that her writing involves adventure, action, and romance with the first two come behind the romance aspect.
This made lead some readers to believe that her novels are geared toward the female reader, This is not the case with Arata, This novel is high in action and adventure with a microscopic hint of romance, While I can that the novel is not targeted mainly at males, I can say that males may enjoy this series more than her previous work, However, this is based on the first volume, so my opinion may change,

But what will not change is the Watase sparkle, Every manga I have ever read of Watase's has this sparkle that I find so rarely in other novels, So what is the sparkle It is a novel filled with memorable characters that you will think of long after you have read the last page, amazing premises that keep you on the edge of your seat, and outstanding drawings that can take your breath away.
For me, there is nothing like a work by Watase, They

are a joy to read, and I have yet to find one that I have not devoured,

I am happy to report that Arata follows in this great tradition, This is an action packed novel that involves world travel, action, intrigue, and quite a few twists, Arata will pull you in and not let go till the last page, There is a lot here for both male and female readers to enjoy, And I will be waiting excitedly to see what happens next,
Endlich mal ein guter Manga mit einer Handlung die nicht total platt ist, Trotzdem weiß ich noch nicht ob ich die Reihe weiter lesen werde, . .,/Sterne Reread in

There are a lot of shonen tropes at play here, but Watase manages to give her own nuance, such as the bullying subplot that affects ourworld Arata.
Its not the greatest story youll ever read, but it is still a solid read, I've been a Yuu Watase fan since I read FY when I was younger, One of the reasons I liked her stories so much was due to their originality, She seems to recycle a lot of themes and plot devices from series to series, Whereas that may make her newer series more predictable and less original than her earlier series, I will continue to read the Arata series for nostalgia's sake, That and the artwork is cute,

I would not give Aratalike FY, but I definitely think it is worthy of, I would recommend this series to any manga fans who like fantasy/romance elements in their stories,

Note Since I am just starting the series, it may get better as I get further into it, If that is the case, I will amend this review later, . . Trigger warning for bullying this is different from the other works by Yuu Watase I have read, Im on the fence about my rating,orso I went with, This series has potential. Reasonably engaging, for a shonen fantasy SO this is the book I wrote about briefly in my last review, Cyclone, I've read all the way up to book four I think, . but I'm lazy/ sick with a fever and won't be writing a review for them XD
This book series is great, although as it progresses becomes a little heavy on the weird made up words.
I'd actually like to see more of the modern day, but thats not how it works out, The final book I read ends on a note like
Oh, so you wanted more modern day Well heres your modern day and heres your comic book even if its not what you wanted and will cause hell for Arata, SUCK IT!!!
And I'm like TT why So now after the book I last read, Again, I THINK book four, I'm left on a cliff hanger.
A good book series and a great inspiration for my friend who wants to be a Manga Artist, I'll give it astar,
I discovered this series while I was browsing the books at my local library, I had never heard of Arata: The Legend or Yuu Watase, Well I am definitely glad that I found this book!

The story was interesting, It's a simple case of two characters swapping worlds, but it was well set up and I liked the fantasy world that Watase created, It's not like the world is completely fantastical there are really only a few "outthere" elements, But there's a nice sprinkling of fantasy, There was some good comedy mixed into the story and I chuckled a few times, The additional material at the end of the volume included some funny material, You get to see the fun side of the writer and her assistants, Reading those additional things made me like the creators more,

Overall, I look forward to watching the characters develop and if the story continues to move at this pace, some crazy things will surely go down.
