Book: Ultra Maniac Vol. #1 (chapters 1-5) by Wataru Yoshizumi
Description:
Shy Ayu Tateishi has just made a new friend at school. But this new friend, much to her surprise, is no ordinary classmate. Nina Sakura may look like a normal middle school girl, but she's got a big secret.
She's a witch.
Or, rather, she's studying to be a witch. And, apparently, she's not doing her homework. Her spells are devastating in their ineffectiveness and often result in the most embarrassing situations for poor Ayu.
But things wouldn't be so bad if Nina's sorcery didn't make Ayu look silly in front of the one boy she secretly adores. All she wants is a simple love potion. What she gets, however, is a new best friend who almost flunked out of witch school!
Rating: 4 stars
My Review:
This was very funny and had me laughing a lot. The book started with two girls Ayu and Nina becoming friends after Ayu found Nina's lost handheld computer. Nina who's a new student just so happens to be a witch (in training). Trying to thank Ayu for finding her computer, Nina used a spell to help out her new friend which turned into a terrible mess but thankfully everything worked out in the end.
The second chapter had to be the funniest with Nina giving Ayu a magical ring that wards against men trying to grope Ayu while she rides the bus. Of course, something terrible (yet very funny) happened.
Throughout the book you find out that Ayu has a crush on Kaji, leading Nina to try to help (of course with magic). However, at the end of the last chapter Nina spotted Kaji doing something out of character and comes to realize he is not the nice guy everyone at school thinks he is.
I can't wait to read the volume 2, to see what's going to happen next.
