Beautiful art, so-so story by Delamaine (Seattle Eastside)  4 Stars
September 16, 2008
Picked this up locally and read it while having coffee in the bookstore's cafe. The art is beautiful - much more consistent than, say, Saenagi (Satisfaction Guaranteed), and much more intricate than Hatori (Ouran). However, the story is a bit weak. The premise is good, but there is not enough depth to it. Good for a library read, but not for purchase.

Spunky & Somewhat Original by Jessica Parham (Oklahoma)  3 Stars
June 27, 2008
I've been reading manga since 8th grade (I'm in college now) and think that if I was still that age I'd enjoy this a lot more. I found it to be "been there, done that" and somewhat simple for my taste. BUT if you're 12-14, I think it'd be very entertaining and fresh.
Pros: Switching the story between the boy and the girl's perspective is fun. The art is very well drawn and cute but manages to border on sexy at times (busty girls, suggestive poses, panty shots), something you don't usually see in a series aimed at girls.
Cons: The story progresses way too quickly in this one volume, barely giving reason or background in order for the romance to feel real and cause me to sympathize. Since the love interest for the main character is her STEP BROTHER there should be much more explanation to show the reader why and how that sort of thing would happen. This possibly taboo issue could have been explored more to give it some depth, but maybe it will in later volumes.
I won't buy the next volume, but I'd borrow it from a friend.

Sibling Rivalry Part 1 by Karusichan (Lansing, MI. USA.) 4 Stars
February 27, 2008
Cute story. Otome and Minami are step brother and sister struggling with feelings for one another that are beyond what siblings should feel. At 15 they are both dabbling in dating and trying to get into high schools, but when Minami decides to go to a different high school as Otome she tries to convince him (and her pseudo-boyfriend, Amane) that they can all co-exist in the same school... that is until Minami and Kasumi start dating...
Fun and full of titillating taboo this series will likely turn the idea of sibling closeness on it's end. Nicely drawn, but some of the panels have a hard time conveying imagery that makes sense. I think the creator was getting overzealous with some of the artistry. Overall, not bad. I'll read more in the future.

Awesome! by Harmony Lawler 4 Stars
December 17, 2007
I'm a huge fan of Haruka Fukushima. Her new series, Cherry Juice, is just adding on to her stack of greats. Her art style is unique and pretty which always is a plus for any manga.
The pacing in the entire book is kind of fast which is it's pretty much only flaw. But there's love and cutesy drama even in the 1st volume as well as good character development. I'm really looking forward to volume 2.
