4.0 out of 5 stars
Why am I picking this up now and then ?, May 31, 2009
This review is from: Manhattan Love Story (Yaoi) (Paperback)
There must be something about this one if this is not the 2nd or 3rd time I am flipping through the light hearted stories whose characters are loosely connected. The main romance between a florist and a successful CEO is romantic and sweet. The seme here is such a hunk and the uke endearing in his devotion. Their meetings in Cental Park just makes you warm and fuzzy. And the last chapter when "Cinderella" has his happy ending with his prince just puts a smile on my face. The only inconsistency in this story is the revelation that the CEO has a kid which was never mentioned again.
The 2nd story on the CEO's secretary and the CEO's best friend is just as enjoyable even if shorter. Such a contrasting couple and you just have to like the younger seme as he takes care of his self absorbed uke writer in their 5 years relationship. A sweet scene here with the kitten and in the shower.
The 3rd story centers on the florist assistant's long distance relationship with a Japanese student. Even if the romance is too sudden, I enjoy the misunderstandings and the reconciliation. With a little bit of angst, theirs is a sweet story.
The only odd one is the strange attraction between a kid and a teacher. Nothing explicit but the implication is dark.
I have always enjoyed this mangaka's style and her artwork and such lovely front and back covers.
