Queen's Quality is the continuation of QQ Sweeper and Motomi Kyousuke's first series after Dengeki Daisy. All I can say is that I've got high hopes for this series, because so far it's been great. Note: Queen's Quality continues right where QQ Sweeper left off, so it's like QQ Sweeper is the first 3 volumes of Queen's Quality and should be read before Queenqua.

Story (8): Definitely a unique premise. Fumi Nishioka meets a cleaner named Kyuutarou Horikita. They clean together in the literal sense, but their primary goal is to clear up bad emotional debris in people's minds. There is a prevalent supernatural element, ... and there is quite a bit of action/fighting considering it's a shoujo manga, so it treads the line between shoujo and shonen. One of the main factors that makes the plot so engaging is the complete mystery that is "Fumi Nishioka"--from the start, we know next to nothing about the main protagonist, and as the pieces start falling in place, you'll be even more curious about her past.
But my favorite aspect of Queenqua is probably the romance between Kyuutarou and Fumi. It actually unfolds at a reasonable pace (I'm so sick of the main character taking 100+ chapters to even realize her feelings) and is super sweet. I will say that there are some cliche moments, but generally the whole thing is enjoyable to see.
Another aspect I really enjoy is the story's exploration of maintaining one's sense of self and the way character is developed through adversity. There are some actual themes explored in this manga, giving it a depth that a lot of shoujo lacks.

Art (8): Very few complaints with art. Motomi Kyousuke has definitely leveled up her art a lot since Dengeki Daisy. The color spreads are gorgeous, as are the characters themselves, and there's a lot of detail in the scenery. I found the style of Dengeki Daisy a little too stiff, but now the characters look much more cohesive, though the author's style is still very distinct. Kyuu and Fumi are eye candies, so if anything read Queenqua to appreciate them.

Character (8): The main character has a lot of spunk and grace...which seems like an unlikely combination, but that's what it's like. She's a strong protagonist who values being self-sufficient (as you'll see, to a fault sometimes). And she has a "princess" side that is really elegant, a refreshing quality amidst the ditzy, bubbly genki girls that star in a lot of shoujo (though Fumi can be like that too sometimes).
Kyu's sincerity and dedication are his selling points. I appreciate that he's 100% for Fumi and he's generally a very lovable character.

Enjoyment (8): Every chapter keeps me going on to the next! The pacing is solid, and most importantly(!) Fumi and Kyuutarou's relationship is enjoyable to watch unfold. A few points off because sometimes the action parts can get a little predictable/repetitive, but this is a shoujo manga anyway so.

To sum it up, Queenqua is an underrated work by an experienced author with lovely art, an original premise, and a great plot! Plus a super cute romance! I highly recommend this work, and there is a good chance that my rating of this manga will go up as the story continues.

I decided to write this review because Bungou Stray Dogs's MAL page only has glowing reviews, and while I do think there were aspects of this manga that were likable, I didn't see any review reflecting what I thought were some notable aspects of this series, namely its mediocrity and subscription to overused shonen manga tropes. I was honestly surprised that this manga is categorized as a seinen manga because I think it resembles a shonen manga much more. That aside, I really only found BSD to be above average at best, and here's why.

Story (5): The story is the main bone I have to ... pick with this series. It's very battle-heavy, to the extent that I'll sometimes just skim the battles to get back to the plot. The only thing that keeps me slogging through the fight sequences is wanting to know more about certain characters' pasts. What happens besides the fighting is a lot of typical shonen manga plot points: teaming up with the baddies, nakama power, making the baddies see the light, nakama power, overly tragic past trauma, nakama power...and it'd be fine if these devices were at least executed in an original way, but the way BSD does it just makes me want to yawn because consistently the story lacks development and relies on tropes to progress. So if you enjoy the kind of plot found in Fairy Tail or similar manga, you'll eat this right up. Overall, the story runs on action and flashy, overpowered characters and it lacks dimension. There is no exploration of an overall theme or idea, which is what I think defines seinen masterpieces like Naoki Urasawa's Monster. The most recent chapters show potential for taking the series in better direction, but thus far the majority of the series is still lackluster.

Art (8): What initially attracted me to this manga was the art. I read that its art was among the most liked in Japan, and I thought the character designs looked nice. The art quality stays consistently strong throughout the series, something I appreciate. The artist avoids the "Same Face Syndrome" that plagues many other series, and there's even a page at the end of one chapter showing how each character has a different eye shape. The artist is clearly quite skilled, and I particularly enjoy the color palette used in the color splash pages. The style is more modern style, and vaguely reminiscent of Yana Toboso's (creator of Black Butler). I do think there is an over-reliance on screentones, and the artist has some trouble with making older people actually look old and not just like young people with facial hair. But in general, I think the art is quite good.

Character (6): The characters have an interesting premise in this story in that they are all named after renowned authors, and their attitudes and abilities are reflective of the works of the author they're named after. I found this to be quite interesting, and the mangaka pays quite a bit of attention to making the characters consistent with the characters of the authors' most famous pieces (see the characters F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, and Margaret Mitchell) and I think I was able to appreciate this more because I had read most of the books referenced for the English/American authors. The references of the Japanese authors were lost on me, but I trust that they are equally as nuanced.
Beyond this premise that doesn't have to do with the story at all, the characters are largely cut-and-dried, relying on eye-catching character designs to disguise their lack of true substance. I think the most interesting character is Dazai, though even he is rather flat as it is still unknown why he joined the detective agency and what motivates him in general, though this may be revealed later as the series is ongoing. The mangaka tries to make the characters quirky, but it ends up just coming off as contrived and forced. The series merely skims over character development, causing a lack of sufficient reason to feel attached to the characters.

Enjoyment (6): Despite the subpar plot and cookie-cutter characters, there was just enough for me to read this manga up to the most recent chapter, so it's a 6 for enjoyment. The quality of the art definitely helped. There's enough plot material to keep me reading, but it's rather superficial.

Overall (6): I think this manga is a fine time-passer that looks great on paper but fails to deliver much. It's like a mix of Black Cat and Owari no Seraph drawn in the style of Black Butler. It might be a good read for shonen manga junkies but I found that it lured me in under the guise of an original premise, but showed itself to be rather mediocre.
