Tokyo Tarareba Girls, Vol. 9
by Akiko Higashimura
The roller-coaster of emotions with the Tarareba girls is over!
Overall, the series was a good one, but there are still a few things that irked me. These women...make bad decisions. I mean, as humans do. We're terrible. And I guess that added depth? In a way.
Mostly though, I found the Tara and Reba (Milt and Liver) "characters" distracting. Throughout the WHOLE series. I get that they were a play on words. But my god, how annoying. I also hate that the "bonus content" area of each volume was wasted on them and their poor advice. I honestly couldn't even read them. I enjoyed the questions and mulling over what MY advice to the person would be (because...that's a thing I do, apparently), but I couldn't read the rest. Something about the way the segments with them are drawn is just...visually overwhelming and I couldn't focus on them. Even within the main comic, I often drifted over the pages with them involved.
Also, way to make your characters seem delusional, Higashimura Sensei!
But, I'm glad I read it. It's a different, and yet similar, feel to Princess Jellyfish. I hope more fans of that will give this one a shot.
