Ran and the Gray World, Vol. 1 by Aki Irie

2.0

Uhhhhh, so the artwork is gorgeous and some of the best I’ve seen in any manga, but the entire story is that a little 9 year old girl/sorceress puts on magic tennis shoes to become an adult and go on adventures and then it gets kind of creepy from there. See, Ran doesn’t just go on any particular adventure, she’s just an attractive older version of herself with her current 9 year old mentality and then there are creepy dudes who want to get with her (which to be fair at this point in the series the one creepy dude doesn’t know she’s actually a child, but his behavior is still really icky). I would not recommend this series.
