Short and sweet. If you want something light, you can read this quickly.

Story: Each chapter features a different "prince" and main girl in their own situation. The girls narrate and explore their developing feelings with their background. This manga is literally sweet, no major conflicts happen. This is because the stories focus on their daily interactions as their feelings ~bloom~.

Art: Shiny boys and cute girls. The style is not especially fancy, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. The art lines up with the average shoujo style of the late 2000s. It has the "classic shoujo style" art of the time, where the art style shows its ... age but doesn't look too old-school or out of proportion.

Character: If you don't mind a few character tropes, then you'll be fine. I don't think they pushed it that far. The "princes" seem to be aware of their popularity based on their respective traits, but don't go out of their way to show off (except for one...). The girls have a variety of personalities that made them pretty relatable, and likable in their own way. The author appeared to be having fun matching different personalities together.

Enjoyment: I enjoyed it! I appreciate short, lighter reads with little commitment every once in awhile. It's a good break from the heavier, longer stuff. I especially like seeing "opposites attract", watching different personalities compliment each other.

I've only read one chapter of this so far, so this review may no be the most helpful, but I can give my impressions of it so far... ^^

Story: It's the classic shoujo storyline: a girl and boy fall in love. However, the first story I read is different from the conventional one- shots floating around in the sense that the author has tried to flip things around a little and put in a few more twists. Since each chapter is a different story on different sets of characters, I'm looking forward to reading the rest.


Art: I only rate really amazing works, like Kaori Yuki's ... manga, a 10, though I can safely say that the art here is very detailed and beautiful, and the story is well- drawn.

Character: Like all one- shots, it's difficult for authors to properly develop their characters' personalities within the short space of time. However, the boy in each chapter is drawn from a list of common male characters found in shoujo manga. People looking for something away from the stereotypes may want to go elsewhere, though that's not to say the characters are boring- it's easy to see the author's tried to give depth to them in the short amount of pages each chapter contains.

Enjoyment: It's a manga that you can just sit back and read when you're not really in the mood for anything heavy- there's humour, romance and everything else that shoujo has to offer.

Overall: I'd recommend you read it- it's a very enjoyable manga, and the fact that it only takes up one volume means the story is quick and amusing. ^^
