My brother showed this book to me to try and show me what manga was like. Some of the stories were very cute, my favorite being the story about Marley and Collette.

However, some of the stories I found made me very uncomfortable. For example, the first one with the love potion felt wrong. Even though it ended up okay in the end, it still feels weird to start a relationship with basically drugging a person and kissing them  without consent. The other one was the teacher and the student, which is a very unhealthy relationship, especially since it seemed that the student thought of the teacher as a missing father figure. The teacher then almost takes advantage of this, and just the whole thing felt wrong. Though, from what I know about manga, I expected some of this. 

Despite this, many of the other stories made up for it. Overall, I thought some of the stories were lovely and sweet, and the worldbuilding was fascinating, but the others brought the rating down.
