Even though Catarina puts the perfect plan to survive all the bad endings, she still doesn't believe she can breathe a sigh of peace. And it does well. The third volume of the heroine's adventures introduces another enemy to the events of the event. Will the teenager manage to deal with him as well?
After two very good volumes, both in terms of plot development and character creation, the time has come for the weaker part. In Volume 3, Catarina continues to attend magic school and spends time with a close group of friends, but this time her daily rhythm is disturbed by two major events. The first (already known to a girl from the times when she played Fortune Lover) the situation becomes where she is accused of tormenting Maria. A group of schoolgirls blaming the main character not only speaks against her in the forum, but also has a lot of evidence, allegedly being eyewitness accounts of these events. It is barely possible to explain everything, and already comes the second unexpected incident – the disappearance of Maria. The girl literally dissolves into thin air, and during the search, Catarina realizes that she could have prevented this tragedy. The teenager realizes who is her new enemy, which she has completely forgotten.
Kind of a comedy, but not
I have a problem with the new Catarina Claes volume. On the one hand, it was read quickly, it smoothly conveyed subsequent events and introduced a new plot to the plot. On the other hand, I had the impression that the scenes in it were stretched as if in Fashion for success , which meant that only two sensible situations happened in the album. I missed the comic that had appeared so far. There were no shots with the other characters. In return, of course, I got a slight thrill caused by the behavior of the new opponent, unfortunately in my opinion it was the most acceptable. Additionally, I must say this. what happened could be predicted based on the previous hints, so the very idea of developing the plot turned out to be not surprising (which is a light profession for me).
Like an affair, but also not
Another element I have to complain about is the complete extinction of the romantic thread. Apparently, romance from the beginning did not play a very significant role (at least for the main character), but all the time it functioned somewhere in the background and gave it a pleasant context for a romantic comedy. Unfortunately, we no longer receive it in the newest part. The atmosphere I got used to and liked in the earlier parts is completely dominated by the two events mentioned, so there are very few opportunities to laugh (or at least smile) while reading (there are also very few scenes with the handsome bachelors hanging around Catarina) ).
But there are additions
As standard, apart from the main comic, we get a short story at the end of the publication and a mini comic with Claes. I liked the story the least of the ones published so far, but the short picture story was funny (it concerned the girl’s thoughts about the fear of snakes of one of her opponents). When it comes to the publication of the new book, neither graphically nor with the quality of the paper it differs from the previous ones, so I have no comments to it.
Temporarily I say belt
I am disappointed. I reached for this series because I was looking for light and fun entertainment, and the newest part did not provide me with it. Although the story itself made progress, it came at the expense of removing the best of the series, and – even worse – the new plot turned out to be simply predictable. I do not know if I will reach for the next parts of this manga, because my enthusiasm simply faded.
