5.0 out of 5 stars
Cute and Hilarious, April 11, 2006
This review is from: Midori Days, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
From its description, this manga sounds like it would be totally perverted. It's not. I read about "Midori Days" in a magazine and was immediately turned off by the idea of a guy having a girl for a right hand. I finally ended up reading it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The manga-ka does not take the obvious path and write a manga all about fan-service.
"Midori Days" is above-standard in humor. I always get lots of laughs out of every volume. The best part is all the love triangles. There are sexual jokes, but they're pretty mild. Still I wouldn't suggest it to anyone under 13.
There are a lot of sweet moments too, with Midori learning to be more outgoing and Soji to be more sensitive to Midori's feelings. The two have a good chemistry together, and the romance is very rewarding.
Overall, I highly suggest this manga. It will keep you entertained with the humor and romance. It's unique, out-there, and it's one of the best I've read in a while.

Comedy with a dash of romance?, November 7, 2005
This review is from: Midori Days, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Would you call it romance? I think this manga is aimed at guys, however, it seems that a relationship will develop...
Story: Basically a tough guy ends up with his hand turned into a girl, a REAL girl that used to be in his school, until she went into a coma. She's always had a crush on him, and now she's part of him!
Okay, that's actually just the opening, and a strange one it is. The whole manga though, is enveloped in comedy and drama (mostly comedy, but hints of future romance). There is a bit of fanservice; Midori, (hand) girl on cover, her bare chest is exposed to the reader. This only happens like twice, and not in any nasty way...more like a Love Hina way.
If the small flash of fanservice scares you away (girls), don't let it. I'm a girl and enjoyed this regardless of that.I can't wait to get the next volume, and you should try it too!
