Sakura Hime: The Legend of Princess Sakura, Vol. 5 (5)

My daughter loves the whole collection. They keep her interest and she normally hates to read. Item arrived on time and in great condition.

Came on time and my daughter loves it.

This is the fifth book of the third series from Arina Tanemura, one of my favorite authors. I will buy the remaining series in no time!

3/5I've been having a hard time thinking of what to write for this review. I usually like Tanemura's books more than I've liked this one so far, and I'm not sure why that is. There isn't really anything wrong with this book. But for some reason, I read the volume, and I think about it as I do, and, really, there isn't anything wrong with it, but it just isn't as interesting as I want it to be. And then I finish reading it, and I wait a while, and what happened in the book isn't as exciting as it was to begin with, and it's a bit of a blur. But a blur that's easy to recall. Or it's mostly a blank until I look through the book again.Ahhhh. I hope that the later volumes get more exciting.Anyway, what happened in this volume? Well, in the first chapter, the fight between MaiMai and Byakuya finishes. This is mostly alright. Although Byakuya does this transformation thing that is a little odd. And even after the fight, Sakura is still nice to MaiMai. I don't think I like that she is, but of course she has to be just so nice to everyone.The next two chapters focus on Kohaku, Hayate, and Shuri. It's mostly about back story, about how they know each other, how Hayate got turned into a frog, the little love triangle like thing that's going on between them. There's also some stuff with Aoba that's sweet and sad, like the whole changing how they call each other. And then it goes back to the present and Kohaku fights with Shuri, in a way to prove herself. So they fight and at the end, after Hayate has turned into his human form because it is a full moon night, he grabs them and hugs them. It's kind of sweet, I guess, but I don't know how I feel about Shuri yet. I guess he doesn't seem so bad. But there's no doubt that I love Hayate, and Hayate with Kohaku is also awesome. They are my favorite characters so far.I don't really know how I feel about most of the characters. I will probably like Sakura with Aoba, as I'm already leaning toward them, but I don't really know how much I like Sakura anymore. I like Asagiri, and of course I like Hayate and Kohaku. I don't think I like Enju, and most of the other characters are a little iffy so far.And it hasn't gotten very exciting yet. I mentioned this above. But I'm hoping that it gets better. I like Tanemura's stories and art, and I'm going to continue reading. But I hope it gets more memorable.Oh, also, there's a short story at the end. This also wasn't very good to me. It was just a little mediocre. It's about a girl who doesn't like this boy and it has a spooky edge to it because there's this haunting story at their school. There's a bit of a twist to it, and I think I mostly liked the guy. But it was just alright. Not amazing or anything.So, yea. I just hope it gets better. That the story moves forward some more from here. Like, by Sakura and Aoba making up fully, and Hayate being turned fully into a human so that him and Kohaku can be together.

Sakura Hime is my favorite book series because it relates to many things in a teenagers life...like being forced to do something of great importance or having a crush and him not liking you or just having a relationship that doesn't last. I'm 14 years of age and Sakura Hime is my number one book!!If you decide to get it by a couple at a time because it only took me not even two days to read the first 4 books.

very nice indeed, love ninja manga and anime, its soooooo cool !! I love it so much its like Naruto and fushigi yuugi

Arina Tanemura's art style is beautiful, looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here

En esta ocasión, Tanemura nos presente una de sus mejores obras, aunque no una de las más reconocidas, y también la más larga hasta la fecha. En esta historia la autora nos presenta una combinación muy interesante de géneros: luchas, princesas mágicas e histórico, que puede que les recuerde un poco a Sailor Moon. Bien vale mucho la pena. Los personajes son entrañables y hay muchos misterios y conflictos que se complican conforme avanza la el manga. Curiosamente, en este manga no hay dos conflictos amorosos, el número promedio que manejo Tanemura, perdí la cuenta en el quinto enredo.Este es el último trabajo que realizó Tanemura realizó para la editorial Suieshia antes del fin de su contrato.
