Customer Reviews

A truly enjoyable series so far

I haven't read Crossroads so this is the review from the view of someone who has no prior knowledge of the author or her previous works. I truly enjoyed this book. After a string of mediocre titles I read this was a refreshing romantic comedy for me to do no more than to enjoy. Sure it isnt the deepest of all things and some of the ideas are rather immature but sometimes thats all a person needs. I totally adore all the characters. Each one of them is so different and likable in each way. My only complaint is that the main girl is overshadowed by the rest of the cast but she holds her own later in the series. (I read vol 1 and 2 at once.) Some of the predicaments are cheese and typical japanese shojo cliches, but again, that's all a person needs. The art is beautiful though. Pretty girls and hot guys that dont all look the same. It's not overtoned and easy on the eyes. I recommend this to newer fans of manga and possible the older looking for something refreshing.

Good start

Rui has just transferred to the Domus Aurea school, a private high school dubbed the "acropolis" by the student body. She was transferred so that she could be close to her betrothed, Natori Nijo. He's the president of the Public Safety Commission. What he does, primarily, is shut down other groups and clubs that he doesn't feel are up to par. He's a complete control freak, and he is completely insane, particularly over his fiancée Rui... whose baby he wants to father... now. Rui tries to join a group, the Public Relations group, and she gets downsized to the "Believer" branch of the PR club. What the believers are is a group of the people that everyone dislikes or doesn't want to work with but can't get rid of because they actually work. The facility is dirty and ill kept. In this group are also two good looking boys, Azumi and Rio, from the computer club. Rio is very into computers and robots and Azumi has attracted 107 ghost spirits to him and because of this is much more mysterious. Natori does his best to shut the club down but Rui, convinced that they need to stay strong, goes to the student council president and, with the help of Azumi, gets the backing of the SC to make the club independent. Now Natori can't do anything to them as a group, but to Rui personally, he can completely destroy her. This is a good start. It's not great yet, but anything by Shioko Mizuki has my backing to the utmost. I loved what she did with Crossroads, and Cy-believers looks like it's going to have my support as well. It has her signature style of work of course, which I adore, but also the bizarre quirkiness that makes her work a lot of fun is here in abundance. I enjoyed this a lot. When does the next one come out? I am intrigued.
