Manga Review : Full Moon o Sagashite



Full Moon is a manga (and also anime) with themes like singing, love and shinigami. The main character, Mitsuki Koyama has a throat tumor, yet she has a dream about being a famous singer. Back when Mitsuki was in the orphanage, she promised Eichi Sakurai that she would someday become a singer. She eventually lost contact with him and thought singing was the only way for her to become closer to finding him. Doctors predict that she will die in a year unless if she does a surgery which will affect her vocal cords. Mitsuki refuses to do the surgery and runs away. The story then goes on to how the two shinigami, Meroko and Takuto helped her to acheive her dream.
This was definitely one of my favourite mangas. The art is AMAZING and cute! The storyline was, in my opinion, fun to read. The story was bittersweet with some sadness. I have also watched the anime and found that the anime was way more lighthearted and funny. I would recommend it for people who like reading romance as it is a typical shoujo manga.
