The time is the Taisho Era (1912-1926) and the incredibly powerful android, Steel Angel Kurumi, created by a brilliant scientist, was supposed to have used her super-human strength on behalf of the military. However, Kurumi cannot be activated by her makers, and lies in the machine equivalent of a coma. Nakahito, the son of practitioners of the magical technique called "Onmyo Way," stumbles upon the inert goddess, and struck by her amazing beauty, gently kisses her perfect lips. With this kiss, the Steel Angel Kurumi comes to life, and Nakahito becomes her master. The gorgeous and voluptuous Kurumi will now do anything to protect her master. But first, critical questions about Kurumi's origins must be answered: "Why and where was Kurumi created?" "Who created her?" Nakahito and Kurumi set out on a dangerous search to find the answers to these questions and along their journey they are forced to ask an additional question: "Who is behind the insidious activation of other Steel Angels whose only mission is to destroy the beautiful Steel Angel Kurumi?"

Go Go Kurumi!,

This review is from: Steel Angel Kurumi, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I've been a major Kurumi fan from the beginning, and this is even better! Though I prefer the anime because it's a lot more amusing, the manga does it total justice. So if you loved to anime, you have to get the manga, it's great! THe art is good, and well...okay there is a scene about Nakahito that's totally wrong...but who cares it's manga! So buy it!

enjoy it because it's silly,
This review is from: Steel Angel Kurumi, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Anyone who wants to make manga too serious is just plain crazy. This series does have a lot of fan service, panty shots, straight and gay/lesbian come on's and so on and so forth. It is also completely adorable with the steel angels and how they relate to each other and the human beings around them. If you've read a lot of manga and want something new, I'd recommend it. I wouldn't however, recommend it to a newbie manga fan, as the drawing can be a little difficult to make out for a newcomer, especially the action scenes. The basic plotline is that this is an alternative version of the past, in the early 1900's (I think). The boy who is the main character is a young mystic who stumbles upon the body of a defunct robot (Steel Angel Kurumi) and wakes her up with the infamous "Japanese accidental kiss." Even though her creator is there in the building with the boy she of course immediately declares that the young boy is her master and then they get into a fight with a bunch of soldiers who are after her and the scientist who created her. That's how it starts. There's a lot of plot twists, and interesting and surprising developments along the first two volumes of this series (the only ones I've read so far) such as people you thought were bad ending up good and people who were good ending up bad. Even with the conventional antics of the angels, obsessed with those they care about, I found this series different enough to be a interesting read.

Not as engrossing as I expected...,
By Amber (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steel Angel Kurumi, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I read the Maico 2010 series before I read this, and that may have tainted my judgment somewhat. But to me, this series is nothing new, and not as interesting as Maico was to me. Kurumi feels rushed, like the author was trying to put it out before the deadline and didn't bother to really concentrate on it. So much more could have been done with it, especially once the sister angels arrived. The premise is much like Maico, Oh My Goddess, or AI Love You in that a young, inhuman girl (a robot) falls for the first man she sees and pledges to be with him and protect him forever. That plotline has been overdone. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing--I love Maico and Oh My Goddess, and I DID buy Steel Angel Kurumi. But I found that Kurumi has too many unaddressed issues and a rushed plot, so it failed to grab my attention for long.
