Extremely cute

This manga caught my eye in a store because of the picture of the girls with wings on the cover. I usually don't buy "cute" manga but this one reminded me of Cardcaptor Sakura as I was flipping through it. I tried to put it down but it became an impulse buy a few minutes later, and one that I do not regret as I read it later. This first volume introduces you to three girls who are training to be cupids. There are some older angels, and a guardian cat with wings (again, reminding me a little more of Cardcaptor Sakura). Like another reviewer stated, there are a few stereotypes in this manga as far as the girls go, but they're so adorable that it really makes up for it. I later on found out that this manga was by the same author as Tokyo Mew Mew, and I'd have to say that I prefer this one. The drawing style is cleaner and not as busy, and the story is a bit softer. I give this manga four stars because while it is not quite on the same level as Cardcaptor Sakura, it did not disappoint in any way, and I look forwards to buying the next volume when it comes out.
