Just spied this up on OM and just decided to check it out for the sake of it and gotta say it's pretty fun read.
It's from the author that did Psycho Busters(I've only read a few chapters of PB, never got round to reading the rest) Summary Quote:
Ch 2 is rather quite epic in a way, any avid video gamer will love it, espeically mirco$oft fans "GROUND WALKERS!" Question is tho, does the first girl that appear be the choosen one in the end? I'm not sure on that, altho it does sorta scream so but I'm inclined to think it might not be the case.

It so good that I couldn't believe it wasn't from WSJ, kinda reminds me of those creative stories Bakuman would come up with that had bizzare themes. If I had to choose, I would replace this with Ane Doki since it would perfectly match with the other WSJ titles. Then again, I might expect too much from 3 chapters but who knows, this certainly has potential.

I read it but i think it's a bit.. how do i explain it?
It felt so rushed with the premise that suddenly a so called angel your house enters and claims that she chose you to cast her spells on.... only because of your videogames. The main character is not so interesting, he's your typical shounen hero without interesting aspects/flaws. Same goes for the girl he has a crush on, she's not the the amazing girl the manga tries to describe, perhaps because of her cold/cool nature? It has some good jokes but i rather see the author puzzle a bit more on the story because it feels so predictable that the main character would eventually fall in love with the angel that barged in his house. Toradora anyone? |

This one was a keeper to me when I saw the color pages and the premise for it a month ago. It has been fun so far and I'm happy that a group picked it up and didn't leave it in limbo.
lol @ being chosen just because of his video game collection. Quote:

I thought it was pretty solid. Its premise reminds me of Rabuyan kind of(minus the lolicon aspect of course), though maybe a tad less amusing because Rabuyan is more seinen comedy than shoujo romance. Still the chars are fun and lively, and the "magic counter to 10" thing is different enough to keep me interested so far. I'll be looking forward to more.That aspect does remind me of Toradora as well, except the fact that Kouta isn't concerned about Sasara's well-being.

I like this series so far and I think it has a lot of potential. The characters are great, especially the main guy. I loved how he was picked because he had a good video game collection LMAO. The best moment was when the bus driver fell in love with him lol.

Chapter 4 was cute in SO many ways X3!! Absolutely LOVED IT!!! I could easily figure out that Meiko would be the one to end up holding Kouta's hands, revealing that she actually liked him, but everything about this chap make me =3 with joy; Sasara's little antics(specifically when Kouta took the hat) and Meiko's "kitsune"-like personality was made this too awesome. Can't wait to see how Kouta responds now that he knows about Meiko's feelings.

If this turns out to be the real reason why she chose him and not some deeper meaning I'll feel some what cheated because her powers naturally involve a lot of dieing so they must be used pretty sparingly. Oh well it's a fun read, and for some reason, Mieko was pretty easy to read, especially with the typical " i'll help you eventhough i really want to dry hump your bones" cliche.

The little hints are enough you would be able to make it out no probs but it's not balant in your face stuff like everywhere else. good thing is, it actually moves along being a monthly and a romcom at that, some monthly series can be really slow at times. Sasara without her hat is too much!(still trying to recover from the Akira-onee-sama from Baka to Test overload earlier today) Kouta is pretty damn slow on the up take can't wait to see next chapter!

I just caught up on this series. It's pretty good. It has it's cliches, but it has really good parts. I am enjoying it. I like how Sasara's magic forces his to do what he normally should do but then messes things up, hilarious.
I just hope nothing romantic develops with Sasara, that would ruin so much.

^Are we reading the same manga?
Honestly, what's your beef with that boy? It would have been much more grating if he was callous enough to take the little angel for granted and laugh away her potential troubles like it's none of his biz'ness (even if she turned out fine). It's a bit clichéd sure but that's hardly damning. Moreover, how is he wishy washy? As of chapter 7 he's still in love with the same girl and the relationship is actually developing unusually fast and smoothly for this kind of manga. |

The Male lead just some witless dork I'd like to skinned alive. He get so many chance and while the loli witch didn't succeed help him and run, he decide to search for the useless witch instead using his time to deepen his relationship in the so called Learning Group After he know his female friend have a crush on him, he start feeling awkward while she help him getting along with his target. Rely on the loli witch magic, and after it's unsuccessful result, he still let the loli witch do it again...and again...and again..instead said to her : "Useless Parasitic Witch! now begone from my live! I'll do it on my own power" heh! now I can see this mangaka start losing idea so he re-peat the storyline If I compare his dull head to other harem lead like Ikuto (Nagasarette Airantou), Natsuru (Kampfer), Yoichi (Asu no Yoichi), Hayate (Hayate no Gotoku), or Hachibei (Love X College)...this one is less than a trash @ Countrouble Author sorry! if I'm a bit harsh about your manga, but it's better if you stop and start new manga, your draw is good...but your story is...so so |

Reason he goes for the spells is cause that's what it's about, without the spells it would just be called "Trouble". The spells are a nice little addition, altho it's more the spells have actually just forced him into using his "own power" to make things work. The lad may be a little slow on the uptake but he does notices things and he is actually making progress in chasing after the girl he likes, so comparing him to the others that basically don't chase is kinda unfair. and anyone would feel awkward when you find out a girl you've known for along time likes you but you don't feel the same way.

Sure she turned out just fine and he was worrying for nothing (clichéd of course) but it was nice of him to worry. Quote:

Countrouble boy actually isn't a harem lead yet. He is in love with one girl; his childhood friend likes him. That's it. Maybe Sasara will join the harem later, maybe not. And maybe we'll have more vaguely homoerotic fun with tsundere-kun, but I don't think you are counting him. |

And that's also more reason to kick out the witch. It's wiser IMO to throw out garbage as soon as possible if you can't re-cycle it Quote:
