Review: Fuuka E.01-02

By Dustin Cabeal

If you’ve listened to the CBMFP or read our Best of 2016 manga list, then you know that I adore the manga that Fuuka is based. I was stupidly excited for it. I should have been more reserved and hesitant because I have wisdom and experience on my side, but every once in a while you just get stupidly excited for an adaptation. It’s why they do them.

It's just a harem fantasy that lacked humor, action and an original premise. But hey... maybe the manga is better... he typed with raised shoulders.
