Rosario to Vampire review

This series felt like something that was just good enough to pass the time, but was also frustrating, because it had pieces to be something phenomenal, which it ended up not living up to.

If I had to give you one word to sum up most of my issues when reading, I wouldn't do it, because that's stupid and would never work in a good review (a review which actually helps people decide on what to read). But, right now I'll sum up a few of the main thoughts I had while reading this series: "Why does every chapter end the exact same way?" "Why are some characters being discarded?" "And why do some potential arcs end almost as soon as they become interesting?"

I wouldn't recommend this to harem fans, nor would I reccommend this to other readers, but, however, I would say that if you really want to try it, you'll probably be able to finish the whole thing and find something worthwhile out of it. This series could have been a great harem, but the author never did enough to bolster relationships. It also could have been a great shonen that's a bit more romantic than normal, but the author abrubtly ended each problem face with the same solution in every chapter, thus preventing any possible story cohesion that could have made it worthwhile to read.

PROS:

The artwork is very good, and during the more serious moment the author show's of their abilities to the fullest.

The characters are very likeable, and they also make this series somewhat painful, because it feels like they could also be so much more than they are.

Cons:

The characters are going to be placed in both pros and cons, because they're both my favorite and least favorite things about the series. I truly loved meeting new people, and seeing how they interacted in this stories universe, but, with each chapter ending the same way, and no real problems being solved without using a cheap trump card, the level of development and bonding between the characters was lackadaisical. It never truly felt like there was a reward for investing into the characters.

The plot is also a con, because every time an arc would begin to bud, it would suddenly end, and then a new plot teeming with potential would appear, only to suffer the same fate as the ones before.

Final Word:

I should probably give this series a 4 or 5, but there were moments within the series that deserved a 9 or 10, and that deserves some credit in my eyes. However, if you know that hunting for morsels in a manga will cause you pain, then don't read this series, because there's more to dislike than to like.
