Ah... it's been awhile MAL. I've decided to start Christmas by reviewing this wonderful manga.

Story: Every chapter of BDKS is a one-shot of a lovely couple's blooming, new romance. I can't say that the stories were very creative, nor different from each other. And since all of the one-shots were very similar, you would assume that they all have some loose ties with each other - but that certainly was not the case. Eh, it was still readable, so I give it a 7.

Art: Now, this was BDKS' strong point. The art was very fulfilling and wonderful to look at. Bishies everywhere. A 9.

Character: ... The characters (for me) were very vague. Hardly any back story. It was either two best friends falling in love, two teachers falling in love, or two students falling in love. That's it. But the mangaka did say that she loves school boys having romance, so that's pretty understandable. But I wasn't any lighter on her - another 7.

Enjoyment: My enjoyment was definitely a 9 because this mangaka made the characters pretty relatable and funny. There were no points that were so bad, I just couldn't read it. And the yaoi was hawt.

Overall: An 8. If you're looking for a quick read that isn't all about sex, then this manga is great for you. The chapters don't have to be read in sequence and you can really just start and finish whenever you'd like.

I have to say, Warui Koto Bakkashite Gomennasi (WKBG for short) is one of the highest rated mangas for me. And soon enough, you'll find out why.

Story: It's another arc of the I Want to be Naughty series, but this time it has a more playful aura - rather than a serious and sad one (for me, at least). The characters get drunk this time, and all sorts of things happen. Perfect timing, since all these misunderstandings and tears were starting to really get to me. It's fun, simple and hot - I rate the story a seven.

Art: Mei Sakuraga really does know how ... to draw her semes and ukes. They're really well drawn, and it's just too perfect for me. Unfortunately, the noses sometimes puts me off, which downgrades my rating from a ten to an eight.

Character: I give character a seven; it's really hard to rate character because I feel as if WKBG is a gag manga, and I've seen all of the characters in WKBG already. The characters are really sweet and simple, which is good for someone slow like me. When the characters get drunk, their personalities change - so it's a must read when you're used to seeing the subtle characters being flirty, and the characters who don't want to be lovey-dovey, suddenly starts to say, "I love you," on command!

Enjoyment: Definitely a nine. Need I say more?

Overall: An absolute eight. WKBG feels like a parody of the I Want to be Naughty series, since all the characters act differently (well, most of them). It's fun and easy to relate to (I'm assuming a lot of users on MAL have gotten drunk, ne?). It's a must read for all the supporters of Mei Sakuraga. Oh, also excuse me for this terrible review - I'm not used to complimenting a yaoi manga so much.

Love Price!? is probably one of the sweetest one-shots I have ever read. It made me squeal and giggle until I was hyperventilating with excitement - and this happens rarely.

Story: Not the most unique plot, but something about Love Price!? popped. It had that one special thing that I couldn't put my finger on. Things moved a bit too quickly for me, but I had to remind myself that I was reading a one-shot, and not some fourteen volume manga. With things being fast-paced, I couldn't see the relationship move forward slowly and steadily. A boy (I'm terrible with names) meets an older man who ... happens to be very rich. The boy finds out, and asks for a job - but is used as a sex slave. The boy is first wary, but then somehow - like magic - falls in love. One-shots aren't my thing, so I give story a fair six.

Art: The art was very well done. I love the artwork of Yuzuki Ichi. But the art in Love Price!? isn't as great as Welcome Home (another manga of her's - a yaoi, by the way *wink*). Nevertheless, the art of Love Price!? certainly sets high standards for other yaoi mangaka's. An eight.

Character: I give character a seven. There weren't manga characters, but with the few characters, Yuzuki Ichi did do a very good job on making them their own individuals. They had different backgrounds, and I'm a huge sucker for the rich man falling in love with the poor boy. Such a sweet - forbidden - romance.

Enjoyment: This is fairly low, but I rate the enjoyment a mere five. Why? Why rate it so low, when I complimented every aspect? To put it simpy, it was too short for my own personal enjoyment. If Love Price!? were to be longer (with the romance and sex actually balanced well enough), I would have given it full marks.

Overall: A six. I stated my reasons. I really do recommend this one-shot if you want something sweet, simple and quick. Like when you read a long manga, and need some fast action, this manga is definitely the one for you.

My first review. Hopefully I'm helpful someone. Any tips on how I should improve would be greatly appreciated...

Child Epicurean is about children and sex. Wait - take out the "and." Yes, children sex, and shotacon in some chapters. I expected this manga to be explict, but actually have a good plot and reasonable - and adorable - characters. Oh, how my hopes were dashed within the first few pages of chapter one.

Story: Definitely not a good plot. Once two boy characters interact, sex blooms straight away. Like sex every page. Of course, there's nothing wrong with hot guy sex, but a fangirl can only take ... so much of plotless pictures of naked men - or boys in this case. With much thought (probably thirty seconds of debating between a higher score or a lower one), I give the story a four.

Art: The art is what made me want to start reading Child Epicurean right away. I love bishounen, so I instantly got attracted to this. There was one major flaw in this mangaka's art, though... every character looked the same. Hell, slap on some glasses and a larger penis on the same character, and you have a whole new one. Nevertheless, the art was still good. Given, the art's a seven.

Character: Eh... I felt like I rated the character a lot higher than I should've. The manga never has any background story, no problems, nothing - nada. Like I said before, it was just plain sex. But what made me give character a five was because the main plot for each story was different.

Enjoyment: A six. I was harsh on the other elements (above), but every fangirl loves gay sex and whatnot.

Overall: Overall is a five. I can't say I'm too fond with this manga, but I definitely don't hate it. Not a must read, but I gurantee you that you will get something hot from this manga.
