the gods lie. Paperback – Illustrated, April 19, 2016

So this manga book I ordered just yesterday after seeing a panel towards the end of the book of “princess” and the kid. I was intrigued because it seemed to be pretty good and had a nice story behind it due to the scene having a lack of context and seeming to have a huge impact. I truly loved the ending and it brought me to an awestruck feeling. I truly recommend this story to anyone who would like to have a simple but sweet realistic romance story. This is a truly sweet and amazing story although it being about an 11 year old kid. The ending leaves you somewhat satisfied but wanting another story to come (which unfortunately will most likely not come unless there’s already been one released which wouldn’t have much to go on about besides Rio and his relationship from here on which is furthermore hard to go on about).

Everything about this manga is fantastic, when it ended I wanted more. The characters are fleshed out and while not the most developed, they have good chemistry with each other. The story is also a big positive, as well with the artwork

Kamisama ga Uso wo Tsuku, or The Gods Lie, is a beautiful coming-of-age and romance short series that takes place during the summer vacation of two young students who learn more about their families, each other, and the harsh realities of modern life. The best part of this story is the characters, who you will love and empathize with throughout the heartwarming moments. The pacing is perfect and the art is is crisp and great to read through.And props to Vertical, this translation is well done and the print is perfect, which has been my experience with their other recent releases as well.~ "Because it's the best they can do"

I loved this manga. I loved the characters. I loved the art. I loved the plot twists and there WAS some plots twists. Definitely recommend to anyone especially people who are into slice of life. I’m usually drawn towards shonen jump and action manga but this is truly a work of art.

~4 StarsThis is a story about Natsuru, a boy, who forms a friendship with Rio, a quiet girl. He lives alone with his mom. She lives with her little brother, and takes in a cat that Natsuru finds. They form an odd friendship at first, and slowly grow closer. When Natsuru finds out some of the things that Rio has been through, has had to deal with in order to grow up and take care of her brother, he wants to help her, and take her away from it all.Life can be very unfair at times, and for some people in particular. Rio has been through some very bad things, and she did what she thought she had to, to move past it. When everything is revealed, it's a sad story. But Rio and Natsuru still had their close friendship, even when they were apart.Despite some of the awful things, this was a really sweet story. Bittersweet, maybe. And the ending is really nice. It leaves it a little open, I suppose, but I think it leaves it open for better things. I think they both were able to grow and be better despite, or because of, it all.I really liked this story, and I hope that Ozaki's other manga gets picked up at some point. (I'm still holding out hope for Immortal Rain.)

Lo regale a mi hija grande y le gustó....

This story was great, a good length to keep you interested and make a quick read but also is a great story with meaning behind it and characters, worth the money

I loved this manga, it was a more realistic and grounded version of Weathering With You and I enjoyed it even more!

This is a well written manga

It came in very good condition with no damages. I loved this manga so much. It's a short story so i wish there was more of It.

There are plenty of things that seem rather farfetched in this manga, and it is best to keep your suspension of disbelief high. Even so, the story is fairly simple with a... different sort of twist. Nothing in the story department will blow your mind, though you may contract a case of the feels.The characters are also pretty simple, yet at the same time seem much more realistic than a lot of characters in other things.The art is beautiful and gives calm feeling.Overall: a must read . 4.5/5

Antes de mais nada, quero deixar claro que este mangá é totalmente em inglês. A Amazon deixa isso muito bem explícito, tanto no título quanto na descrição (que é toda em inglês). É também muito fácil de ver que esse livro está em outro idioma pela editora, que não existe no Brasil. Deixo este aviso para os que não prestam muita atenção e dão poucas estrelas dizendo que o mangá ser em inglês é um problema.Em relação à obra, a história é interessante, porém eu achei que ela se perde um pouco em que realmente quer passar ao leitor. O começo dela parece ser divertido e que vai focar num romance de dois adolescentes. No entanto, do meio em diante a trama se torna um pouco obscura de maneira meio radical, e algumas coisas achei que não fizeram muito sentido para alguns dos personagens chegarem no ponto que chegaram, como a motivação do pai ter feito o que fez.De qualquer maneira, o desenrolar foi incitante e a conclusão foi satisfatória.A arte é bonita e agradável aos olhos, mas creio que não houve oportunidade para a artista desfrutar de todo seu potencial.Não dou nota máxima pelos pontos que citei anteriormente, imaginando que poderiam ter sido melhores trabalhados.

O manga chegou em apenas 2 dias a Portugal e em ótimas condições, apesar da embalegem não ter qualquer tipo de proteção, extra apenas numa caixa de cartão... foi sorte diria xD
