Synopsis

At the tender age of 12, Mitsuki Kouyama has a sarcoma in her throat. Though this rare cancer can be cured by removing her vocal cords, Mitsuki refuses because of her desire to become a pop singer and keep her childhood promise to Eichi Sakurai, her first love who left for America. Unable to both heal and keep her voice, she allows her health to deteriorate, as she accepts her tragic fate.

One day, while escaping the home of her music-hating grandmother to attend an audition, Mitsuki meets two shinigami, Takuto Kira and Meroko Yui. Realizing that Mitsuki can see them, Takuto and Meroko reveal to her that she will die in a year. Moved by her plight, Takuto allows Mitsuki the chance to pursue her dream by giving her the ability to transform into a healthy sixteen-year-old girl. After being chosen for a contract with Seed Records, Mitsuki makes her debut under the stage name Full Moon and chooses to pursue her dream music career before her life's end.

7.5/10 - this reflects my personal enjoyment of the series. Full Moon was objectively Arina Tanemura's best work (although I enjoyed SDC more). This was also when her art style was the prettiest. The story tackles themes of death, love, survival and grief. It's quite a hefty attempt for something aimed at young girls, which you have to respect. Unfortunately Arina does have a tendency to write stories in a rather...simplified, fairytale sort of way, so the tone felt a little mismatched when tackling such heavy subjects. She tends to be great at premises and slightly weaker on execution, but you can tell it was ...

Dramatic but somewhat shallow.

Mostly

Full moon is the story of a 12 year old girl trying to become a singer because of a promise she made to someone she loves. However her grandma hates music. She also has throat cancer.

Story: 10/10
A girl and boy promises each other to fulfil their dreams. Her dream is to become a singer, however, unfortunately, she suffers from throat cancer. But, with the help of two shinigamis, she is able to sing once again. It's a unique story, I don't think I've ever read something like this before. It was definitely a childhood favourite and WARNING! It will make you cry.

Art: 8/10
Typical shoujo manga art style back in the 2000s, big eyes and quite small head. But the character designs are unique and easily remembered.

Characters: 9/10
There's a lot of character development and you get to know more about ...
