ablotial 's review for:
The Wallflower, Vol. 1
by Tomoko Hayakawa
Picked this up because it met requirements for a challenge. Definitely not my usual genre, though I have read some manga in the past that I enjoyed.
This one was ... cute, but interesting (in a bad way). Boys break out in rashes when they see an ugly girl. Bah. It really sends the wrong kind of message. It's one of those stories like Grease where the boys won't like her unless she wears sexy clothes and fancies up her hair.
Though it's not the boys who are really pushing the poor girl in this story -- it's her aunt, who hires the boys to help make her niece more attractive. What the hell kind of aunt is that?!
But the boys aren't all bad, they are kind of cute when they try to be helpful, and watching their attempts was somewhat amusing. I think her attire at the party was a little quick, considering the complete lack of "progress" until then. But I did like that in a way, because it shows that she's capable of playing the game, she just doesn't care to.
And somehow there are many more books in this series! I guess because karate chopping party guests is not acceptable. Maybe I'll read more when I'm looking for something light and easy and some boys to be mad at.
