Song 1: The Mangaka and Art Mix

To start, I wanted to talk about the art and the person behind this series, because it's probably one of the more important aspects of this whole thing.

The person who draws Unofficial Hatsune Mix is none other than Kei Garou, who if you don't know, designed and is the artist for the popular digital singer Hatsune Miku.

This manga has of full color illustrations, of which you can find before you get into the reading part of it. (For the English Omnibus Version you find it before in-between transition from one volume to the next before reading.)

Looking at this and then his new art, you'll see just how far this artist has come, and just how much of a glow up he's had since making this back in 2008.

I think it's absolutely awesome that he drew for this, it makes it more special and personal to the character, with how passionate the people behind Hatsune Miku are.

Song 2: Story and Layout Mix

There really isn't exactly a all out connecting narrative for this manga, in fact, it's more like 4komma manga, telling diffrent stories and narrative themes each chapter.

All the regular characters, Hatsune Miku and her friends (Kagamine Len and Rin, Megurine Luka, Meiko and Kaito), go on diffrent adventures and take on diffrent roles as you progress through each chapter.

One really cool thing about this is the way the chapters are set up, called songs, which matches up with the theme of using vocaloid characters as the focus of the story.

This story also has a lot of cameos from other recognized and popular characters within the Vocaloid community, such as Vocaloid Kamui Gakupo, Fanloids Akita Neru and Yowane Haku and the very popular Utau Miracle Diva, Kasane Teto. They all play into the story very well and in the same funny and charming way Miku and her other leads do.

It's a very fun read for sure, and definitely something to eat up if your a long time or new Vocaloid Fan!

Song 3: Conclusion And personal thoughts Mix

To be honest, I really liked this. It's not particularly the best thing in the world, but it hits me with a special kind of nostalgia, in the same way Tokyo Mew Mew does for me. I enjoyed this a lot being a long vocaloid fan myself and it's a pretty digestible and quick read if you want something to keep you busy while you wait on deciding on a more focused narrative it might be next you wanna tackle.

I'd rate this a good 7.5/10 (as you've probably already seen), just because it's extremely easy going of a read, though most likely won't capture just anyone's attention overall. It's fanfare at its finest, and again, a fun read especially for Hatsune Miku fanatics and vocaloid lovers.

That concludes today's review! I hope you take some time, maybe consider if you wanna take a gander at the Unofficial Hatsune Mix. I hope you have a great day and keep on reading!!

Updates and where I have been.

-----------------------------------------

I'm not Gunna lie, this year has had a a lot of ups and downs for me. Besides just the lack of motivation and my big plans for change, I haven't had time to finish any of my review drafts, or start any new writing projects.

But now, I have been sparked again, and am happy to announce to the few of you supporting me I plan to try to get back on blogging full time. I'm very passionate about manga and anime, and would like to share my thoughts, feelings and reccomendations with you.

I don't have a set schedule yet, as I do work full time and have little time to read and watch nowadays, but I plan to post as much as I can, both on Insta, Twitter and eventually Youtube.

I'm currently reading through "We are Mahou Shonen" as I now have all 7 volumes, and will get around to writing on that, as well as try an help translating the rest of it.

I also am expecting the re draw of madoka magicas manga in the mail, and plan to do a short, fin review on that, plus showing off my personal collection so far.

Thank you everyone who supports and still follows me. I can't wait to get back to writing soon :)
