This book wasn't Great, but it also wasn't horrible. It was definetly entertaining. Overall it was a fun and light read.

This manga was a fast read with an unremarkable story and average art. I did like the interaction between characters (like cats & dogs) and the healthy appetites of the female leads. A pretty unremarkable start so far.

In "Four Eyed Prince", we are treated to a mangic examination of a twisted Oeidipic complex. Instead of being attracted to a mother, Wataru sets up a situation where step brother and step sister are attracted to each other.

While entirely unpreventable, Akiko and Sachiko Onashi are 'wildly' attracted to each other and are at odds to deal with the chemisty. This starts out with a Hollywood type/Clueless introduction. "My name is Sachiko Onashi, and today, my whole life is gonna change..." She goes for it and tells Akihiko how she feels. The Four Eyed Prince rejects her, and klunk goes her heart!

How do you deal with the emotions, rejection, and temptation of new sibling hood?

This is really a different book, one that I had a hard time following. The art is tolerable, and only overdone at times with photoshop effects. As for the story, upon a second read it does improve yet it seems like a 'mature' Disney TV show meant for tweens.
