Poor Akira has an ugly duckling complex, and his oblivious family isn't helping! His mother is as pretty and young-looking as a shojo manga character. His father is the study-hard, pretty-bishonen type. Akira's elder brother shines like a top model. His elder sister looks like a pretty boy and is adored by the other girls at her school. And even his little sister is as cute as a doll. No matter where they go, the Sakamoto family gathers everybody's attention and admiration, making things all the more painful for Akira - because he's so ordinary!

Cute but nothing special,
This review is from: Family Complex (Paperback)
This book was okay, but there was nothing really special about it. The main story that's described in the summary is actually the shortest chapter of the whole book and I was dissapointed that there wasn't more to it. The greatest redeeming quality was the beautiful artwork. There was also a strange diary from the author smack-dap in the middle of the book about when the author had some eye proceedure done or something. I didn't really pay close attention. If you're going to put something like that in a book, shouldn't it be at the end, not right in the middle?
Anyway, I wouldn't recomend paying full price for this. Maybe if you can buy it used for cheap or even find it scanilated on-line. It's not something begs to be read more than once.

Cute,
This review is from: Family Complex (Paperback)
This was really cute, but the middle part really distracted me. It's okay, and I could relate to the story at times.

Everyone Has (Silly) Problems,
By
This review is from: Family Complex (Paperback)
Don't let the author's massive yaoi (as in "boys loving boys") output scare you. There's no yaoi here. The point of this odd and silly series is that even those who seem to be blessed may not necessarily think so themselves. Akira, the youngest son, feels plain next to his beautiful family even though they all dote on him. His elder brother is forced to live a lonely school life because his "friends" are such minions in that they worship and admire him so much they even form a protective barrier against anyone else who might want to talk to him. His elder sister (who looks good in boy's clothing) has issues about whether she should handle things in a feminine or masculine way. His youngest sister is not quiet, she just thinks things through completely -- unfortunately the world has moved on without waiting for her answer. The final story is about how the parents met, and who should wear the pants in the family... and who should wear the dress.
Don't expect too much melodrama or angst. This is not a serious work and was never meant to be. As a side note, these characters reappear in the (also non-yaoi) Princess Princess books, which are a fun read if you can handle all the crossdressing.
