Liked it as a kid

Let's just say, when you're a teenager and shojjo lover, you like this stuff. I was 11 or 12 when I was religiously reading this manga and enjoyed every bit of it.
Now I'm a decade older and love seinens, but shugo chara is a piece of nostalgia for me. if you're in your teens and into shojjo, do give it a try!

Kind of Wishy-Washy Protagonist

by re_netero

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I mean, the whole story revolves on her finding who she really is so it kind of makes sense, however, I wish she'd be a little more decisive when it comes to the romance. I'm not giving a review or anything like that though because I've only read 3 volumes and skimmed through volume 4. If anything, I may get into this later on when I have more time, but for now at least I'll add it to my lists so I don't forget about it in case I want to pick it up again.

Fun Read, but be warned...

I've got to hand it to PEACH-PIT. Their art is very cute, and they've done a great job with the characters (personality wise and costume wise). However, I really can't condone a 10 year old protagonist having a 17 year old love interest. It sends a very, very bad message… If you pretend she's older, it softens the blow, but still…

I read this back when i was in middle school.... and i had the biggest crush on Ikuto..... lol
Seriously, I would squeal every time he made his entrance or had one of those moments with amu. ha ha ha. <3

Even now I still occasionally think of this manga. It's just so adorable.

Even if it's just a kid's story it did not stick with me as much as some other stories I read as a kid like Tokyo Mew Mew, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura or what not, but don't get me wrong, it was still a decent read. If only because Ikuto kept me coming back for more.

Oh did I have a crush on him as a kid. <3<3<3

This is one of those mangas that if you were like me and waiting for the untimely updates than you probably read all of it, but if you were fortunate enough to get all the chapters in one sitting then you might have skimmed which is what I would have probably done because not every chapter is worth reading.

Nevertheless, it's decent. Wouldn't say it's "great for kids," because I think kids would be even more bored and probably much quicker if they read this manga. But it's definitely for adolescent girls that like adorable bishounens and a "cool" heroine.

Cute and original

by Nirachu

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I may be biased since this is the first manga I've ever read before, but I thought Shugo Chara was really cute. All the characters were well-developed, likeable and had their own distinct personalities; the story's tone was upbeat and energetic with some thoughtful and even somewhat dark undertones; and the artwork is pretty and well-suited to both the characters and story. I didn't feel that the story dragged on incessantly either; it was neither too long nor too short, and tied up most loose ends, leaving a pleasant feeling after finishing the series. (For a continuation of the relationships present, see Shugo Chara! Encore!)

However, reading it back over again, many shoujo cliches are present, though I must not have noticed them the first time as I'd only just started reading manga. Anyway, if you're a newcomer to shoujo manga, Shugo Chara is a must-read. 😀

I think that this is the best manga for kids ages 12+
But I think that this wouldn't appeal to 17+

I like Amulet Spade

A Good Kid Shoujo

by HiddenRabbit
13 years ago

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This was one of the first mangas I've ever read. I originally gave this a 7.5 but rounded to an 8 due to the scale. The story i it is original. You really don't see alot of egg-heart base mangas. It's one of those unique magic girl shoujo story. The main character, Amu Hinamori, also has a different personallity from your usual heroine girl in magic shows. The art work is very attractive. You will probably be drawn in mostly because of the art if not the story. I do reccommend this manga to some people who like cute shoujo with love triangle and cute guys 😉 ikuto in particuliar. I do not recommend this to those who are looking for more focus on the love fraction of the manga since this didn't really have that much romance. Just development.

Manga certainly better than the anime

by theLettuceGarden04

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

The anime may look great, but it is certainly not mature enough, because it has a different target audience: kids! I feel like the manga is targeted more for kids as well as teens as well (since I read it- idk). It has 'erotic' moments, esp with Ikuto and Amu (Peach Pit does also write/draw ecchi mangas). I would also like to comment on the hating on Amu, seriously, she's a kid and everyone is different, definitely more likeable than some other dumb heroines out there. And oh, I forgot to mention the art is awesome! I love this series so much, even now lol and I'm officially an adult.

Good

What I love first: The Artwork. 11/10.
O my god. So so so lovable. Overloaded cuteness. I really really love Peach-Pit's artwork

Second: The Chara. 9/10
Nothing's new, but each of the character is lovable, and every chara has its character, different from one to another. Yea, since it's shoujo, lovey dovey must exist, but what I like about it is how the main character, Amu, doesn't make it as the-greatest-problem-of-all-in-my-life. I really like that.

Third: The Romance. 10/10
haha, I like every pair.

Amu & Ikuto, not with Tadase
and actually I really hope dat homeroom teacher to be with Suu...
Too bad it's impossible

...the main plot, eh? haha

btw, sometimes, the scenes (especially between Amu and Ikuto), from the dialogues to the chara's motions and expressions, seems... so erotic XD all hail Peach-Pit!
