Clannad Manga Short Review

Clannad is quite popular as anime, I think. I’ve just so far read the manga only up to chapter 2 so I really can’t say much, but it’s pretty interesting.
So my review is going to be short since it would only base on the 2 chapters of Clannad that I have read. ^.^
I’m normally not too much of a fan of this kind of manga. Romance is not what I always look for for a manga series, so I didn’t have that much of expectations for Clannad. But it turned out pretty sweet. The story is about Tomoya Okazaki, a third year student, who has a pretty much ordinary life, until one day on his way to school he met a girl named Nagisa Furukawa who he caught talking to herself. It turned out that Nagisa is a repeated student who’s a year older than Tomoya.
Since the meeting, they befriended each other, and Tomoya is helping Nagisa with a lot of things.
I still have a little bit more to catch up, but so far, the only thing I had to complain is the group that did the scanlations for this manga series. The translations are, believe me, just terrible! It’s like a direct translation without the sense of story flowing. If you plan on reading the manga and plan to read it online, I suggest that you go watch the anime instead. There would be a better translation done by fansubbers.
