Since it's Christmastime I wanted to read something that could fill me with Christmas spirit, naturally my love of shoujo led me to this strange little manga. It's actually super cute though, and not as odd (or spicy) as I had expected, it's really wholesome and sweet. I've also realized that I might have a thing for master-servant romances... sooo yeah lol

This series is about a Santa Claus and her Reindeer. You see, a reindeer, able to go back and forth between human and animal, is destined to work every Christmas with their very own Santa Claus, if they ever find them. And they know because, as soon as they touch, a ribbon forms between the two, attaching them to each other. No one else can see it, and it doesn’t get in the way, but it’s there, can be pulled on, and their bond lets the reindeer always know when Santa needs them.
Kurumi bumps into a boy one day, Kaito, and from there, Kaito follows her around, insisting she’s his Santa Claus. She’s reluctant, but she goes along with it. Most reindeer only meet up during Christmas, don’t see each other during the rest of the year, but Kaito stays around, and he insists that he loves Kurumi, who he calls Master.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I started this, as I’d really only browsed the synopsis. But it was really cute, very sweet. Only the first chapter is on Christmas, the other two are during the summer, which I suppose means that it is not strictly a Christmas story, but has a very apparent Christmas undertone. I like Kurumi, she seems like a nice girl, a little lonely because her father, her only real relative, is always away working. I love Kaito. He’s such a sweetheart, and his devotion, adoration, and general happiness for Kurumi is so sweet. Kaito has a rather big family, most of which are also reindeers, and I really like them, too. It seems like it’ll be good for Kurumi, to be around such a close, happy family, and I’m hoping to get to know each member better in future volumes.
This was a very sweet beginning to the series. The romance is apparent, although Kurumi is reluctant, and they’re going to have to work through some problems. I’m looking forward to that developing, though. I’m also looking forward to more family time, with both Kurumi’s and Kaito’s family.
There was also a short story at the end, featuring a vampire and a little girl. It was cute, very sweet, although left me a little confused as to what the two’s relationship would be like later in their life.
Also, it seems like there’s going to be a rather long wait before the next volume comes out? Like, not until April? That’s weird, right? That seems like a really long time, when it’s already complete in Japan. Maybe there’s more to it than I know of, though?

The idea of this comic combining romance and Santa is weird to me, but it inspired me to read a little bit online on the celebration of Christmas in Japan, where I think it reads as less weird. This is a magical Christmas romance manga about a girl who finds out she's a Santa. She also finds out she controls a reindeer, a young man named Kaito who can transform into a reindeer upon her command. They are bonded through an invisible rein that she controls. Kaito has spent years looking for her, his Santa.
It was good to read a manga so light in spirit, even if the premise is odd.

I loveeeeee Tsukuba Sakura and all her works. If you love feel good stories with a slight dose of darkness, they're totally for you. Everyone is always so good and kind in her series. Reread this series again because it was out on kindle and bought to support.

Found this comic on a book fair, bought it for only Rp 1000,- =))
I think I've read this before, back then when I still love reading comic books. Still, love the story and the characters <3
