DGS Hibiki vol.1 and SYLPH vol.6 review
[asa]4048677861[/asa]
Dear Girl ~Stories~ Hibiki vol.1. The first volume of Dear Girl ~Stories~ Hibiki includes the first two chapters of the comic, a bunch of 4koma comics, a novel written by Suwa sensei, as well as Hato sensei’s DGS report manga, a photo comic, and goods catalog.
The first chapter was first published in the DGS Fanbook. HiroC and OnoD are given a mission to make-over a yankee girl so she can have the courage to confess to Narazuka senpai, the student body president. In the second chapter, a girl named Yuki loves playing guitar and wants to become a music artist but her mother doesn’t consent to it. HiroC and OnoD help her take steps to realize her dream.
The 4koma shorts are based on material from the radio show, and I have yet to read the novel or Hato sensei’s report manga.
The photo comic has photos from DGS recordings related to how the comic and novel projects came about with dialogue bubbles. Lastly, the goods catalog is just that, a showcase of the DGS goods produced.
Overall, this is a must-have for all DGS fans. The manga is really funny and Iwasaki sensei’s illustrations are adorable! Since the 4koma comics are based on material from the radio show, anyone who doesn’t listen to DGS probably wouldn’t get it but if you do, it’s quite hilarious. The obi is pretty cute with messages from Kamiya and Ono. Kamiya: “Ono kun said something good!” Ono: “Already a best seller!” What’s funny about it is that Kamiya wrote his message before Ono, haha.
