A review by hobbitfreddie
Junko Mizuno's Cinderalla by Junko Mizuno

5.0

Apologies in advance for the scatterbrained review.
I've been reading manga for a while now, and recently I've grown bored of the formulatic style of modern manga art, while I love manga I want something different sometimes. This was it, and my goodness I need to find more manga like this.
The art, amazing. Cute and so weird. And full color too! I love the style and design of everything, it's so chaotic. I enjoyed the vibe of this creepy cute world. It's just so odd, like there's a pair of twins who just pop up and try to dissect people, or the stepmother character is a zombie who is constantly eating.
Weirdly there's alot of nudity in this (mostly just uncovered boobs) but like it doesn't feel fanservicey (to me at least). It's just funny to me that Cinderalla is just hanging out topless in some scenes.
Story is a retelling of Cinderella of course but the author went "okay but what if zombies and yakitori". YES NO MORE LAME RETELLINGS LIKE OH WHAT IF CINDERELLA WAS THE BAD GUY. NO GO CRAZIER.
Anyways yeah it's more a goofy weird manga so the story isn't what you are reading it for, you're reading it for the cheese. But it's like a really fun and well made goofy weird manga. I feel like sometimes when you read these super weird stuff it's kinda forced to be quirky but here it's just like ah yes okay we're going to a zombie party now yes yes this is good. I love when comics show off just weird ideas the author had.

Highly reccomend to anyone looking for something more experimental.
