4.0 out of 5 stars Really 3.5 Stars, April 27, 2009

This review is from: Ballad of a Shinigami, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
I've just begun to read "light novels" and my first foray was into the Boogiepop series which I highly recommend.

I've only read the first book in this series but it seems to be a collection of stories about death/life/loss that focuses mostly on minor characters who only appear in their chapter. The main character Momo the Shinigami (grim reaper-ish) barely gets any screen time and mostly appears in a deus ex-machina sort of way.

The stories to me though just weren't that interesting. Not terrible, and I did enjoy the writing style, but at the end of each one I was just kinda like "meh." Perhaps as the series progresses more of an overall story arc may appear and things might pick up. I for one will probably switch to another series first.
