Otona Pink is in many ways your regular, stereotypical shoujo manga. It has so many of this genres cliches: love triangle, student/teacher relationship, absent parents, co-habitating woes, just to mention a few. Having said that, it's still an enjoyable read because, even though some of the situations are down right absurd (it is a shoujo after all), the author knows her cliches and plays them well, in a way she still manages to deliver a solid plot.
The heroine of the story is Mikuni, your average cheerful girl, who lives alone with her mom, a scientist obsessed with penguins. She has a crush on Chiho,

Otona pink was your usual drama/shoujo/romance manga and there wasent anything special about it. The story was average and there are many like it. The art was good but not great. The characters were like most romance characters Stupid and immature at first but they grow up through the manga. There was alot more drama than romance but thats ok and the romance wasent very heavy. Though the manga is under mature i dont think it really is, They dont show anything. Overall it was probly worth 6/10 Thanks and hope you enjoy Otona Pink!

To be honest, I don't know how I feel about the story. It is a rather stereotypical shoujo manga with the stereotypical outcome with stereotypical characters.
Personally, I think there wasn't enough character development, the time-frame of the entire story was rushed and at times, confusing, and the art was just average. There are plenty of other mangas out there just like it if not similar.

I was impressed by this manga contrary to my expectations - I thought it was just going to be another typical shoujo story, and in a lot of ways, it is pretty cliched - older guy with young innocent ward, tension and comedy ensues... But I actually rather enjoyed this manga. I found a level of depth in the characters and an interesting enough plot that kept me reading avidly until the end. I wish it were longer!
The art is really lovely. All her characters were designed thoroughly and attractively, and the backgrounds and big scenes were detailed without being distracting. Very nice to look ...

Honestly I've never written a review for any manga, but given how BAD this one was, i felt the need to do so.
First of all, Mikuni has to be one of the worst heroines I've ever seen. In the first chapters, she starts dating Chiho, the boy she always loved. Things with Chiho seemed rushed, but well, they're teenagers right? Nishizono (their homeroom teacher) after seeing them all lovey-dovey, tells Mikuni they won't last more than 3 months. Up until this point, the story was pretty credible. Afterwards, it all goes downhill. The same day Mikuni starts dating Chiho, her biologist mom tells Mikuni she ...

Hey, do you love crappy melodrama featuring characters whose personality is about as deep as a sidewalk puddle? Do you enjoy stories that go at a cheetah's pace yet also have absolutely nothing interesting happening? Do you want to see how hard I can slam my head against a wall until my brain bumps against my skull?
Mikuni is so fucking annoying to follow. Every chapter, she cries, that is all the main character does. EVERY. SINGLE. CHAPTER. Mikuni can't do anything besides whine, complain or weep because she got involved in the dumbest misunderstanding that could've been resolved in 5 seconds if she would've just ... |
