Highschool Manga - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Head back to high school with this Manga themed slot from Wazdan. Played over 3x3 reels with 5 paylines this game has plenty of old school charm with a strong narrative and simple bonus features to appeal to players looking for a different experience.

There’s only one bonus feature here, winning walls with 2x multipliers - spin up 9 matching symbols and you’ll double your prize. There’s also a pick and win risk game that lets you play double or nothing over multiple levels. As usual, there’s a version that integrates directly with the game and sees you picking the right school locker.

This isn’t the most challenging game to get to grips with, but casual fun money players will love the strong storyline and those brilliant graphics which are common to Wazdan slots. Play for free at Slots Temple and enjoy this mobile-optimised slot across all your devices.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

If you love Asian inspired slots then Highschool Manga will already appeal. Everybody knows that Manga is the term used to refer to Japanese comic books and graphic novels and their unique visual style. But did you know there are five distinct demographics for Manga?

Shonen is action-based and targeted at tween and teen boys.
Shojo focuses on stories of romance and is aimed at tween and teen girls.
Seinen explores adult themes for men of 18+.
Josei targets stories of romance, sex and drama at 18+ women.
Kodomomuke is an ultra cutesy style aimed at very young children.

Clearly, Highschool Manga falls into the Shonen/Shojo style with its themes of high school romance, friendship and jealousy. The visual style is superb, nailing its Manga influences with ease, with each symbol contributing to the unfolding of the narrative.

The poppy soundtrack could have come straight from a Disney movie and there are plenty of subtle details to enjoy - for example, the paylines are represented by coloured pencils, and the dynamic background adds plenty of interest. Wazdan have form for great audio-visuals but this slot rates very highly.

Highschool Manga Bonus Features

This Wazdan slot is long on style but quite light on bonus features. However, the game is fast-paced and there’s a strong narrative to keep your interest, plus those unique Wazdan features that let you customise your gameplay.

The aim of the game is to land walls of identical symbols. There are 4 up for grabs, based on the 4 secondary characters in the game. Fill every space on the 3x3 grid and you’ll double your prize with a 2x multiplier.

As ever with Wazdan slots, the wins don’t stop there. There’s a risk game that can double your wins up to 7 times if you pick the right locker. If you don’t you’re dumped back to the main game having lost it all.

Highschool Manga Review

It’s difficult to review the gameplay in a slot like Highschool Manga where the developer has deliberately made things as simple as possible. Land those 9x9 symbol walls and you’ll double your prize - that’s the only feature on offer here. And yet Highschool Manga has so much charm in those brilliant audio-visuals that it’s hard not to play at least a few spins.

The Magic Maid Café slot from Net Ent is another slice of Manga goodness.
