gotta love this manga! :D     Dec 30, 2008     reviewed by HiiragiVG    

Aqua is a planet filled with fantasy, Neo-Venezia is where the story takes place, is a city built as the Venezia in Man home (Earth). Akari the main character makes you enjoy that kind of world. She sees the world in a possitive way,that makes you feel so relaxed when you're reading :)If you want to enjoy a pleasent manga,you gotta read this! But I recommend to read Aqua first kuz that's where all begins :D Oh yeah you get to learn some italian words too XD Ciao! XD

A Futuristic Fairy Tale     Nov 14, 2008     reviewed by Crenshinibon    

Aria is an excellent, laid-back work that gradually absorbs you into its lackadaisical pacing and fantastical environment. Aria in and of itself really isn't about the storyline, but about the atmosphere it evokes. While the characters do gradually develop and deepen in personality as time moves on, it's really a manga about the magic that the pseudo-utopia called Aqua contains.

The art is pretty high quality, and certainly suits the setting. Although some of the character designs come across as almost disappointingly generic, it's difficult to notice, and the often breathtaking backgrounds more than make for it.

In short, this is the type of story that you want to read on a rainy day- it's warm, relaxing, and despite the general lack of comedy, will almost certainly bring a smile to your face. I recommend it to fans who can appreciate the value of a story that doesn't rely on suspense or action, but rather the emotion that it carries.
