This manga is in piece a beautiful masterpiece. True, there are undoubtably better manga/anime out there, but I enjoyed this. Kurosaki Mafuyu is a former delinquent. Former, because she's trying to hide it and change it—though I must say she's not doing a very good job at it. :P

It's a happy mixture of drama, romance, and simple bad-assery. If you don't want a small spoiler, skip to the next paragraph. Mafuyu cross dresses at some point to fight when she needs to, and let's be honest. You and I would probably turn gay for that. xD

Story: 8/10
The idea of it all is great. A delinquent ... who gets expelled and is forced to go to another school. She wishes to live a normal life, but it's not quite working. It's over all good, except progress. The plot seemingly loses itself for a while, and I don't mind. It's practically a reverse harem, and you know who she's going to end up with judging by the title, but at this point, we all don't really care who she ends up with. Harem Ending, anyone?

Art: 10/10
The art is beautiful. Some manga make it so as the girls have huge af eyes, guys have this long narrow face, to the fact it's disgusting. This art, however is just perfect. Not too sharp and serious, and not too childish. One of the best art I've seen yet.

Character: 9/10
The characters are very likeable, even 'the bad guys'. Even if you do hate one of them, you'll soon grow to love them, and with some characters who you can't seem to like, well, at least you down right despise them. You might pity them, but yeah.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I loved it and would've given it a 10/10, but let's face it. The plot has eventually gone down the drain. We need something to hook us on some more. I'm not saying that it's bad or anything, I just feel like it has more potential.

This manga greatly contradicts other shoujo manga in a good way. The art is beautiful. Not the best, but beautiful none the less. The heroine, Etoh is both pretty and strong willed. Both of the guys, Yuki and Asai are really likeable (and hot), making it hard for us readers to decide who WE ship, despite probably knowing who she ends up with. Etoh was a prostitute (sort of). She and a couple of others play this 'game' where they gather up money from salary men without any actual intercourse.

One day, one of the girls quit. One of the rules of the games was ... that you weren't allowed to quit. The girl who quit was then beaten up, and a passerby yelled for the police, making them run away. Etoh then enters her Manor's elevator and finds the person who called the cops, Inoue Yuki. Yuki then tries to hire her as a model for Yuki's cousin, Asai Yusei. Thus, behins the story of 'The Sleepy Residents of Birdcage Manor'.

It's an amazing manga, and I'd recommemd anything this manga. I muself had only started and finished today.
