Just finished reading the spinoff to Mai Hime, Mai Otome yesterday. In all due honesty, I liked this series more than Mai Hime. The ending in the other series was kind of dull, but this series' ending seemed to have a bit of closure in certain aspects. Characters' paths were set, you could say.
One thing that was enjoyable about this series was the characters. A lot more bright, kawaii, and more fun to read about. Characters certainly had their darksides, or hidden demons, but to me these seemed to be confronted in a better way than those in Mai Hime. The fanservice also was something else. Sure, there were spoiler[t*** in both series, ]but that's not the point I want to make. The girls were cute, we got to see pantyshots, but where else could you have spoiler[virgin warriors who are pretty hot looking and at the same time get to kick some serious ass. ]That is what I call fanservice. And believe me, I have not seen too many series that have spoiler[virgins ]doing what they do in Mai Otome. Kudos to the series. To truly understand the outcome of the series though, however much I hate to say it, you must read Mai Hime to have a full understanding of the events that lead up to the finale. Other than that, everything is A okay with this series, and I give it a Very Good rating. |

Fighter,
I know you read Japanese, so is this Japanese manga that you're reading? Because I don't remember seeing this on TRSI... |

In fact it is. Unfortunately this series is not licensed over here, but Tokyopop has Mai Hime. I'm not surprised that Rightstuf wouldn't have it. At AX last year I asked Shawn Kleckner myself if the site would carry Japanese language manga at all, to which the answer was no. |

I have the Mai-Hime manga. I saw an interesting person at the end of that series. A rather pleasant surprise that made me laugh.
Well, now I have M-O to look forward to. |
