Reverse Harem Garden

Manga Review: Shugo Chara! Jewel Joker Vol. 1 by Peach-Pit Amu is now in middle school and tasked with going undercover as a transfer student at Arcana Academy to solve a mystery. Shugo Chara! Jewel Joker continues the story of Amu and the Guardians. A review copy was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. See  Anime Reviews . When I started Shugo Chara , I felt like I was about to cry and had to put it down for another day. I don’t know why I was getting emotional. When I finally picked it up again, at first I was disappointed that she transferred schools away from the other Guardians, but as we learn more about the new school and the new characters, I’ve come around to the change. It makes sense for the story to move forward instead of repeating the same setup from elementary school. The seamless recap is such a nostalgia lane. It’s like a knot of feelings tangled inside me seeing each of them again—the Guardians, the Charas! Ugh, I missed Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia...

Shugo Chara Doki 51 episodes This is the sequel to Shugo Chara. New characters and charas introduced and re-introduced like Lulu and Nagahiko, the development of the love triangle between Tadase x Amu x Ikuto, the real deal about Easter and embryo at the ending, and a painfully lot of fillers in between them all. It's become less and less reverse harem and it was very tedious to watch. It had its high moments too but it would have been great if it was squeezed into maybe 13 episodes if the ending was going to be that preposterous and so out of the blue. Well, it is targeted at kids but it was such a disappointment coming from the fun and promising first season. Filed under related. 

"Shugo Chara" ("Character Eggs") 51 episodes- complete Amu is the cool and spicy transferee in Seiyo Elementary. But beneath her image is a confused and shy girl. One day she discovers three eggs or charas which will be her would-be characters when she grows up. Then she meets the Guardians who also have charas and aim to protect students' dreams from becoming X-eggs. I don't usually enjoy watching kiddie animes well except for 'Cardcaptor Sakura' and 'Alice Academy'. And now I can add "Shugo Chara". It's very relaxing to watch and it really does take away all of my negative energy. I also liked the cute yet cool animation and characters. It's not trying too hard to be icky girly cute. It's a long series but it never felt like it was a chore to watch. I looked forward to watching the new charas, transformations, and combinations. Admit it you also make the 'My Heart Unlock' and 'Open Heart' hand si...
