Story: Seeing as how it's based off of classic Grim fairytales, it's not the most original concept in the world. A lot of people do the whole "tale with a twist" thing, but taking it for what it is I think it does a pretty good job of changing the twist in unexpected ways. It's definitely not for you if you're looking for something terribly deep and insightful. It's a nice, light-hearted, slightly gothic (putting those "light-hearted" and "gothic" together almost sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?) story to be read purely for recreational purposes. Btw, the first story with Snow White shows a very

different main character than the rest of the story, so don't be decieved by it. It's a bit darker in the first story.
Art: I am definitely a fan of Kaori's artwork. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to everyone, but I think it's deviously original. You can always recognize her work. Plenty of eye-candy to go around.
Character: Personally, I didn't get a real emotional connection with many of the characters. It's not that you could expect much, though, from such a short story where characters only last for one chapter. There really isn't time for amazing character development. Still, I think for this type of lighter story, there's enough to keep it entertaining, which is the ultimate goal, right?
Enjoyment: As I said before, it's not something to make you contemplate life and all its wonders, but it's definitely fun. At the very least, it should make you chuckle a couple of times :) Also, if you're into lots of cleavagey "fan service," then you'll find plenty of it here.
One other thing I found funny while reading was when one female character reveals her shoe size to be 27.5 cm which is about a size 9 US. They go on about how huge her feet were and even said that if they were any bigger "she'd be a gorilla." I wear around a size ten T.T stupid me and my clunky American feet...
