A review by nightshade_novels
Sword Art Online: Fairy Dance, Vol. 1 (Manga) by Reki Kawahara
3.0
Despite being a bit disappointed with the first manga in the series, as it didn’t live up to the anime, I was keen to read the next part of the story. Once again it was obvious that there were several parts of the story that have been cut out to make it fit into a manga. This was especially obvious when there was a small description box explaining how Kirito learns to fly because there wasn’t enough room to show it all.
The story was still good and the artwork was great, although there is far too much fan-service for my liking – just get on with the story! If you are going to spend several pages showing Sugaha in the shower you could have spent them showing Kirito learn to fly.
This manga has split the fairy dance storyline into two parts and so this volume ends with Kirito and Leafa being cornered on the bridge over the underground lake. I am looking forward to reading the next volume in this series and seeing how the rescue of Asuna is depicted.
This manga was really enjoyable, but it just doesn’t live up to the expectations set by the anime and therefore receives three stars.
