bobcatbrarian's review against another edition
2.0
As far as Ninako is concerned, Ren’s super cool handsomeness places him on a different level--he's an unapproachable celebrity, someone to admire from afar. It’s not until a misstep on a train that Ninako begins to see through Ren’s “pop star” status. The more glimpses she catches of the real Ren the more Ninako’s feelings begin to evolve from gushy schoolgirl crush to the purity of first love.
I have to admit, at the start I thought Ninako was kind of wishy washy, that she was too willing to let her friends dictate her feelings; but she grew on me. You have to admire a girl who has the courage to be honest even when she knows someone is going to be hurt.
This is the first volume of the book. I thought it was just okay. There wasn’t enough comedy to have me laughing out loud, the supporting cast was less than memorable, and there just wasn’t much chemistry between Ninako and Ren. But that could all change as the series progresses. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
On a side note, I thought the author’s comments on her pets were very entertaining. She has three chinchillas (two boys and a girl), none of which like to be picked up. She also relates how she has been trying to catch the female chinchilla while she’s giving birth to determine just when she does it. Frankly, I’m wondering what she does with all the babies.

2. Chinchilla information was interesting, but a bit random and distracting.
