clowdywings's review against another edition
4.0
A little dated but hilarious!
I would put this in the genres slice of life, comedy, fantasy, and romance. It's pretty diverse and has fun events. I was not expecting it to be like this at all. I thought it'd be like a cheerleading manga or something.
The story plays out slowly, giving us enough time between events to laugh and to think over what just happened. Characters haven't begun their development and just have been introduced.
The art style is typical of the time it was drawn in. Nothing outrageous or super spectacular to say about that.
I don't feel like I necessarily have to get the next volume anytime soon but also feel like if I did get it, it would be amusing at the very least.

Tateishi wants so badly to appear cool so she can impress her crush, but her ditzy classmate's magical hijinks keep complicating her life. Goofy, light-hearted fun with a very episodic, spell-of-the-week plot.
I really thought I wouldn't want to read more, but that twist ending to volume 1! How can I resist?

The art is really great. This series is really funny. I love seeing the characters grow more mature. The friendship between the two main characters is heartwarming and beautiful.

Surprisingly, I really liked this one. I remember saving up dimes and nickels so I could afford it at the Scholastic Book Fair at my elementary school when I was in fifth grade. I even stayed after school to buy it! It was definitely not a disappointment. If you like cute stories illustrated beautifully, then you'll love Ultra Maniac.

What a cute series! I found this at the library, so I decided to read it; and what a treat! It does have a few ~problematic~ scenes, like when Ayu transforms into a boy to be better at tennis
