Sweet...

Let me just start by saying that this manga is really sweet. The artwork is beautiful and the characters are funny and original. The only problem I have with this manga is that she's going around making out with a four yr. old. Yes, sometimes he's a four year old in a sixteen year olds body but the bottom line is that he is still four, no matter what. Besides that (and I guess it's a pretty big that) I really like this manga and reccomend it to anyone who likes shojo manga.

Cute without being too sappy

This is a perfect shojo manga. Sweet but not too sugary. Cute but not too sappy. I love Aram and Airi so much! I know this is not an original story but I suspect it wasn't meant to be. It's sport of a parody of all shojo manga. Will definitly be checking out this author again.
