Summary
Miharu is a very good girl, plagued by very bad luck! Her mother has died, leaving her only a single ring to remember her by, and her father's gone bankrupt – leaving her with all of his debts! Intending to sell the ring to pay off those debts and start a new life, Miharu crosses paths with Rintaro, a "jewelry expert" with more facets than the sharpest diamond. Alchemy, mysteries and gems both cursed and stolen all come together in this glittering series of comedy, horror and suspense!

Kenja wa Nemuru: Shinjou Mimei no Houseki Jikenbo review
Story (8): I really liked the plot for this story, although I was rather skeptical at first. It seems like a very familiar scene as Miharu (our young and innocent protagonist) is left with an enormous debt by her dirt-bag father and has no way to pay it back. From there, however, things were surprisingly refreshing. Miharu meets Rintaro, who appears to be a rather spineless and absent-minded young man, and he saves her from the debt. The rest of the story is filled with the two of them solving mysteries surrounding jewels, and often results in Miharu learning more about herself. Oh, I almost
forgot! I particularly enjoyed the gruesome depictions of spirits and such that were put in. It's not every day that you get to read shoujo with horror in it!
Art (9): I actually really like older looking drawing styles and A Wise Man Sleeps is no exception. Takeuchi did a beautiful job of drawing the main characters and really giving them life. Miharu's expressions widely varied and were fairly easy to differentiate (unlike some mangas where the character's face never changes from three defaults >. |
