The artwork was a bit inconsistent, with some panels looking rushed and lacking detail. It was challenging to follow the story at times because of the cluttered panels and confusing layout. Additionally, I felt that some of the character development was lacking in comparison to the anime. Overall, it was an underwhelming adaptation that didn't capture the magic of the original series.
2. Emily - 2/5 stars - As a fan of the "Little Witch Academia" anime, I had high expectations for the manga version, but sadly it didn't meet them. The pacing felt rushed, leaving little room for character development or exploring the rich world of Luna Nova. The artwork, while colorful, often felt flat and lacked the charm of the anime's animation. The dialogue also felt forced and unnatural at times, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Overall, it felt like a subpar adaptation that didn't do justice to the original story.
3. Alex - 1/5 stars - I found the "Little Witch Academia" manga version to be a disappointment. The art style was too different from the anime and lacked the same level of detail and expressiveness. The story felt recycled and didn't bring anything new to the table, making it feel unnecessary for fans of the series. Additionally, the pacing was off, with important moments feeling rushed and glossed over. Overall, it was a forgettable adaptation that didn't capture the essence of what made the anime so special.
4. Sarah - 3/5 stars - While I enjoyed the "Little Witch Academia" manga version to some extent, I couldn't help but feel that it fell short compared to the anime. The artwork was decent, but it lacked the dynamic animation and fluidity that made the series so enchanting. The story felt rushed at times, and the character development didn't have the same depth. However, it still had its moments of magic and humor that fans of the series might appreciate. It's worth a read if you're a die-hard fan, but don't expect it to surpass the anime in terms of quality.
