- #1May 14, 2018"I had both a love and hate relationship with this series (which recently ended in Japan). On the one hand, I loved how the author really researched and then wove in the fae history of the British Isles. With everything from the Green Knight to Faerie queens woven in, it was a fresh take on ages old stories. I also loved the artwork - each page was a real treat to enjoy the drawings. But on the other hand, all the characters were very flat and one dimensional - mustache twirling evil villains and Edward, the hero, seeming fairly ambivalent throughout the story. The artwork felt 21st century, the characters felt very 1970s shoujo manga cliche. The heroine is a sweet character but a bit too pollyanna for my likes. Those who like innocent and sweet main characters will definitely love this book. Edward, the hero, is one of those types who seems like he doesn't care about the safety of the heroine - as long as she furthers his aims. But of course, we will be given hints throughout the series that that may not be the actual case. I think the key word here is that this is a sweet story - a sugary confection that tastes good initially but may leave you wanting something a bit more filling at the end"

The Earl & the Fairy (Vol. 1) - #2March 19, 2018"This book was alright, but it did not keep my interest for long. I picked the book up when I was bored at my job. The cover looked interesting, so I decided to give it a chance. The story was not really my cup of tea because it felt like a romance story. I took me 4 weeks to read the book because I kept dropping it. The main character seemed kind of shallow and the ending was very cliche, I have read better shoujo-mangas."

The Cinderella Solution - #3March 17, 2018""Maid Sama!" is an alright manga, but it does not stand out much. I read the manga after a friend recommended it to me, but I was not impressed. I read the first volume in less than an hour, but it felt longer. The manga had a typical love story that did not to create a unique spin on the formula. The art was cute, but not very different from any other shoujo, I have read and seen better shoujo-mangas."

Maid Sama! - #4March 18, 2018""This has to be one of the sweetest, purely romantic, stories I've read in a long time! A lovely grown-up fairytale - a modern-day Cinderella tale - that leaves the reader feeling hopeful and happy inside! The colorful secondary characters and the Priscilla/Pietro romance added a degree of depth to the book, as did the detailed descriptions of the setting." - Donna K."

The Bachelor Prince - #5April 18, 2018"This really, to me, is average shoujo at best. There are so many other great representations of this type of manga, and given the opportunity to suggest any number of titles to someone, this wouldn't be at the top of the list. The art is okay, and the storyline it follows is unimaginative and overdone. it just isn't a stellar example."

Tenshi Ja Nai!! (Vol. 1) - #6March 3, 2018"I love comics. I love Japan. These are a great fit for me. Full Moon O Sagashite Vol. 1 has that crazy sark of imagination and almost magic-realist fantasy that just doesn't exist in American entertainment. This is a dark and also quirky story about music and love and death and all sorts of stuff. I love it."

Full Moon O Sagashite (Vol. 1) - #7March 2, 2018"I used to read a lot of shoujo-mangas as a kid and remember that one of the best ones I came across was Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play - Priestess. This manga was really interesting in the way that it was drawn and the story was illustrated. This manga has remained at the top of my list for a long time."
Refering to:
Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play - Priestess - #8March 20, 2018"This is the first volume in Robito's most popular series. Beloved everywhere, My Little Monster is funny and heart warming. The best part is knowing there are 13 volumes. This series was later adapted to an anime, which is good, but I believe the manga series is even better! Worth reading."

My Little Monster (Vol. 1) - #9March 22, 2018"If your an anime fan this is where you should start your Japanese comics collection.

Kiss/Hug (Vol. 1) - #10April 1, 2018"Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was one of my favorite movies, so I decided to read the book to see if it was as good as the movie and I was not disappointed. The artwork in the book is one of the best I have seen in a graphic novel in a long time. Captivating and entertaining."

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Vol. 1) - #11April 11, 2018"Though this book skirts the edge of what shoujo is, it still is a great read for fans of the sub-genre. It has a bit everything in it and the characters are written really well even if the drawing is a stale in it's style. The series is must though for any fans of Yoskiki Nakamura."

Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You (Vol. 1) - #15April 11, 2018"This book is pretty out there. It's a love story but I think it almost draws from anime style story telling.
