While Aria is not of my typical genre of manga, I managed to find enjoyment in it.

I picked up a few volumes from a friend, then moved away and hadn't finished it. I cosplayed one of the characters and figured I should at least finish the series. 12 Volumes isn't a bad number at all. Found it online and completed it.

I kept reading thinking something interesting would happen. But wait, this is a Slice of Life series; Nothing dramatic or terribly interesting happens! Yet, I still found myself reading it. The art is definitely engaging and charming. The characters are sweet and silly. Slice of Life series tend to do nothing forever and lack plot and I think that's why I didn't give it a higher rating. I was bored most of the time and reading mostly to look at the art and if it would strike me more than "This is an okay read." It wasn't until the last volume that I really enjoyed what I was reading and not just going through the motions of clicking the next button.

I could file this series on the cute, sweet, sugary, girl-power, borrow from a friend or read online when you are bored kind of series. If you are looking for something exciting and fast-paced, stay clear of this one.
