Fantastic!

3.5 stars

This is a pretty intriguing manga. I like the guys point of view for a change. I love the cute little bento boxes made by Asuka. They made me hungry! My favorite scene is where Asuka cleans and cooks in order to impress Ryo's dad on his birthday. I look forward to getting more character development in future volumes because the characters don't seem "full" to me, especially Ryo. I will read on and see how things progress.

This was pretty sweet but it’s so sexist!

The art’s gorgeous! It’s sort of a sketchy (lots of lines) style. I really enjoy it.

The story was very sexist. Basically it’s saying that guys can have “girly” passions and girls can have “masculine” passions. Um yeah?? If you weren’t aware of this, I sure hope you understand this soon. Of course a guy can sew, bake/cook, read horoscopes, read shojo, etc. Anyone can.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this. The story played out in a sweet way. I’ll probably pick up the next volumes.

Lovely book, beautiful art. :) Interesting storyline, as well, but the art was what mostly did it for me. ^^

I found this while sorting through my old manga collection and I’ve fallen in live with it all over again. It’s a unique and positive twist on your typical shoujo manga. Gender roles? Throw those out the window and give this story a shot. Super wholesome and fun to read.
