Sometimes you just gotta read a manga about a child getting whooshed away to 1910s Paris by a cat who isn't even old enough to eat adult kibble.

Un manga mignon et très jeunesse, plein de couleurs et de douceur !

Super cute manga, but the stories weren’t overly complex. But, a good way to introduce manga to younger kids, especially if they are Disney fans. The artwork was very pretty’

2023 yılında ilk kitabım Disney'in yeni mangalarından Miriya and Marie oldu.

Sevdiğimiz Japon mangalarından sonra Disney'in bu girişimini her ne kadar gereksiz görsem de çıkan kitapları merak ediyordum. Kardeşimin elinde Miriya ile Marie'yi gördüğümde hemen alıp okudum.
Öncelikle bildiğimiz çoğu mangadan farklı olarak sayfalar tamamıyla renkli, bu nedenle okuma zevkiniz kat be kat artıyor. Hikayesine değinmeyeceğim, zira inanılmaz basit bir konusu var. Ama manga tam bir görsel şölen olmuş.
Okuduğum en şeker görünümlü hatta en pembe kitap olabilir. Ben keyifle okudum, bu seriden özellikle çizgi filmini çok sevdiğim Rapunzel'i ve Güzel ile Çirkin'i merak ediyorum.
Meraklısı varsa öneririm.

The story doesn't make any sense and there are a ton of plot holes... Ignoring the lazy story line, the art is quite amazing. My biggest problem with it is that my book goes from page 1 to 80 then back to 49 to 90 then jumps to 113 to the end. Did anyone else have this problem?

Je remercie les Éditions Nobi nobi pour l’envoi de cette lecture. Aujourd’hui, on se retrouve pour parler une des dernières sorties de chez Nobi nobi, qui est un petit one-shot avec inspiration disney !

Miriya est une jeune fille qui se sent seule. Le jour de son anniversaire, il n’y a personne pour elle. Pourtant, ses parents sont riches et lui font envoyer tout pleins de cadeaux, mais cela ne comble pas le vide dans son cœur ! Elle voudrait que ses parents soient ici, c’est le seul cadeau qu’elle veut !

Quand d’un coup elle reçoit un appel lui disant qu’on l’emmène dans Paris des années 1910. Cette personne, c’est Marie, un chat. Elle va prendre Miriya sous son aile, afin de faire d’elle la meilleure des magiciennes.

J’ai beaucoup aimé l’univers Disney/manga réuni ensemble. En plus, gros point bonus pour moi, c’est que toutes les pages sont en couleur. C’est clairement un manga idéal pour les plus jeunes, avec des petits jeux de temps à autre.

De plus, chaque chapitre contient une petite morale très appréciable, voilà pourquoi, à mes yeux, ce manga est vraiment parfait pour un jeune public !

En bref, c’est un manga vraiment tout mignon et beau que nous retrouvons ici. Par compte, faites attention, on parle pas mal de sucrerie et de pâtisserie, vous ressortirez de ce one-shot avec la faim au ventre !

This book was quite bad. I really enjoyed the plot and would have loved to read a full manga about it but sadly that is not at all what happened. So the whole book is a ton of few page stories that sometimes make sense and sometimes don’t. There are quite a few stories that end in the middle of the story and don’t actually wrap anything up. There are also stories where Miriya is supposed to be accomplishing something or doing something and does something different yet is somehow told she did a great job and has amazing talent when she actually didn’t do what she is supposed to do. There were three random pages throughout the book of absolutely random characters being in Paris that had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the book or the other characters. Towards the end of the book I guess the author decided a book with some puzzles would be interesting because all of the sudden ever story or so had a random quiz or puzzle for the reader to do and answers on the bottom of the page or another page. I was extremely disappointed in this book. I had high hopes for it and was greatly interested in the plot but this book reads like a bunch of pitches or ideas someone had that they then need to turn into actual stories or into books. I really don’t know how this got published like this but I would definitely not recommend it.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. Based off of Aristocats my hind foot...since when was Marie magical and could create witch powers? Also since when was creating outfits witch craft? Yes I know the fairy godmother but this is what this book focuses on is making cute outfits which just annoys me so so much This book also deals a lot with cute/hot boys. Seriously? This just didn't seem like a Disney book and seemed very over the top to be about vanity and very vain itself. The story line jumped all over the place, you got about four pages per story before it went on to a new chapter, and the book spanned two years (one year seemed to literally happen in four pages.....) Very weird book, not impressed.

This thing is a mess.
I can only presume that it was written in a serial form and compiled here, but even then things are so disjointed that's its just bad.
The art work is ok. Sometimes it's really nice and other time I want to cry in fear that a human toothed cat is going to eat me in my pink nightmares.
Points for full color?
It's also hyper stereotypical girly. Which can be a dash off putting.
I also don't know why Disney approved something that so... does not match their style. And seriously has nothing to do with the one Disney character they ported over.
This thing is a mess.

this must be the pinkest book I've ever read - so incredibly adorable and pretty. I didn't like Leo, he was a jerk, and his age is no excuse. little boys can be polite and kind, so there was no reason for him to treat Miriya like garbage than spout off about how much he has always loved her at the end. whatever.

otherwise - this is so so gorgeous to look at, and a cute story in that goofy Disney manga fashion.

[Librarian Jessie (BibliophileRoses) · Rating 2 out of 5]

The graphics in this are really the only reason why I rated this with two stars. It’s obviously aimed towards children and a demographic much younger than I am. However, with that being said, even a child would be confused with all of the jumping this manga does. You’re transported from one scene to the next by almost shock force. The story has very poor writing that feels extremely rushed. For a story that had quite a bit of potential, it was really sad to read.

[Amina D'Anima · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un manga extrêmement beau visuellement parlant <3 malheureusement c'est + un recueil d'histoires qu'une histoire à proprement parlé. Il n'y a pas de transition entre les chapitres, les personnages sont terriblement caricaturaux et il y a pas mal de clichés aussi. C'est vraiment dommage car il y avait du potentiel pour en faire une belle histoire.

Miriya & Marie

This is a cute story involving Marie from the Aristocats. Marie comes to Japan to pick up Miriya to take her back to 1910 Paris to train her to be a witch. This was such a cute story. And it was very girlie in the art. Pinks and purples were the main colors in this but it definitely worked well.

[Royally Reading · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a cute manga, full of episodic chapters. The story does have a bit of a broader ARC, but I wouldn't say there's full-blown character development. This is kind of just a cute, fun read that features Marie from the Aristocats in a new magical adventure as she teaches a young girl magic. It's cute. If you just want something light and kawaii with a Disney flavor, this will be a good choice.

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really cute one shot manga with gorgeous full color illustrations. The story is pretty silly and not that original, somewhat stilted, too, but I do love the art and I think little girls who are fans of Marie from the aristocats will love seeing her in this manga.

[Crislyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very cute, wonderful for kids. Even includes puzzles!

The story is very cute. Not deep at all. Any problem presented gets solved within the next 5 pages. It’s entirely colored and the art is adorable. There is even fun puzzles for kids to pass time with within the stories!

[Sarah Hay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute Disney Manga about Miriya, a young girl who learns that she is a witch. Her trainer is a cat named Marie who whisks Miriya off to Paris to take lessons in magic.
Good for ages 8/9 and up

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5. This book was a little boring at the beginning and a little confusing. However, once you got more into the book it got better. It was very cute however.

[Sarah Stubbs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super adorable and cute art style!

[Emma (littledollreads) · Rating 1 out of 5]

This made absolutely no sense. Why was the text in color? What was the story? Why does it look like it was drawn by a middle schooler? How can I be compensated for spending time reading this?

[Erica Bellinger · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s cute but a weird way to incorporate a Disney character haha. Read to make sure it was appropriate for daughter.

[Freya Ravenheart · Rating 5 out of 5]

extremely cute

[Jessa Michelle · Rating 1 out of 5]

The artwork is adorable but the story is honestly garbage. There's nothing inspired by The Aristocrats movies at all they just used one of the characters to make a magical girl manga. 👎🏻

[Heidi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like Marie. And manga. And pink. Cute and fun with an innovative plot and likable characters.

[Kathryn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Would have loved this as a kid but still liked it now all in color tons of pink, fashion, sweets and cats.

[Cyril David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the art and story

Loved the art and story. I’m very into books with magic and witches, and this book is an amazing one. Hope there’s a sequel.

[Minnie]

I never heard of Miriya and Marie.
It reminds me a little bit of Harry Potter. A girl (Miriya) finds out that she is a magician. With her new cat Marie, she learns to use magic.
But the manga is very confused. It switches so often. And you don't see how Miriya really learns to do magic.
And then is there a second story about Maya in the book and that makes it a little weird.

I love Disney. And I like Comics and Mangas, but this, hm... 🤷‍♀️
