Book Reviews of Princess Resurrection 1
Book Review: Good but...
Summary: 4 Stars
... not as good as the anime. I saw the anime first at an anime convention and then, realizing there is also an manga, rushed to get the book. Its not often I say this but the anime is much better than the manga.
Story - while on his way to his new home (a mansion his sister will be the maid for), Hiro meets the mistress of the mansion. Unfortunatly, he is killed moments after meeting her. To his surprise, he wakes up, restored by the blood of Hime, the mansion mistress who turns out to be the daughter of the King of monsters, making her the monster princess and giving her blood the power to bring people back to life. Now, Hiro is her slave and is forced to protect Hime from her power-hungry siblings because, if she dies, so does he!
The anime (called Monster Princess, which I think is a better title) gave the characters much for depth and personality; the manga characters seemed blank and lacking personalities. Other than this, its still a great story line and I will be getting the second book but I highly recommend watching the anime first (by DVD or Net, whichever).
The only reason Im not giving this manga three stars is because a friend of mine who did not see the anime read it and said she really liked it, meaning it can be enjoyed without seeing the anime.
So, not the best but certainly not horrible. Maybe look into the anime and then into the manga. Your choice. Enjoy it either way!
