4.0 out of 5 stars
Quick Read, September 1, 2005
This review is from: Cosplay Koromo Chan Volume 1 (Paperback)
This isn't some kind of forever going in-depth kind of story. It's a quick one-shot book, that's an easy read, and somewhat entertaining story.
Koromo-chan is a high school student, but when the dress-code rules are uplifted, she's free to wear what her heart desires, from the traditional maid costume(she claims is her "regular" clothes) to those "can-can bunny" costumes that don't exactly say a lot about your character, Koromo-chan's got it all. Of course, it helps that her best friend loves to make the costumes for Koromo, and that another student loves to take pictures of Koromo doing her cosplay thing.
That's basically it. There's not THAT much plot, and it doesn't make your brain hurt from the intricate detailing of the story. This is more of those one-shot, "I feel like reading a book that's short." things. It's rated 13+ for some swimsuit pictures, hot springs pictures in the table of contents, and some language.
Pros: Short and sweet; Doesn't go on forever; Koromo-chan and the other characters are somewhat likeable; Cosplayers will get a kick out of this.
Cons: Perhaps a bit too short; Some people not like the total "Plot? What plot?" environment that this manga thrives in.
Overall, if you like shoujo manga that has very little plot to it, and you just want a quick read, pick up "Cosplay Koromo-chan!"

Bought it for two bucks...two years later and I still haven't gotten through it., June 20, 2010
This review is from: Cosplay Koromo Chan Volume 1 (Paperback)
I thought this book would be cute and funny and was hoping for a "plotless" series that at least had logic, humor, and thought put into it (such as Crayon Shinchan or Azumanga Daioh). This book is sooo boring, and the art is not very clear. I was at least hoping for a LITTLE depth to the story, but there wasn't even a plot...
This is a boring book, and I do not recommend it unless you get it at a super cheap price and just want a comic to look pretty and fill up your shelves with.
