Most of the reviews on this series are way too critical. This series is short, cheesy, romance goodness (Like power of love type). A common complaint about one-shots is that it doesn't leave a complete story. This is a one-shot if they finally decided to finish the story and it's definitely not as bad as people make it out to be. If you like Disney stories this is right up your alley. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece and at times it is predictable but that's just how it is with these genres.

This series is bad.

Honestly it’s so bad that it falls into Neil Breen, Ed Wood, Samurai Cop, BotW territory for me where I enjoy how stupid, poorly paced, and badly written it is. Going along with the weekly Reddit threads where everyone was clowning on the series was genuinely fun.

That being said, I do feel sorry for the mangaka. It seems like he genuinely did have some good ideas, but he had the misfortune of being paired up with one of the worst SJ editors in recent history. When the series switched editors towards the end, there was a noticeable increase in quality (I still ...
