Poor Yuzu is an orphan who’s too clumsy to hold a job. She’s reduced to living in a playground -- until a handsome stranger named Hassaku informs her that she’s heir to a fortune, and whisks her into a world of wealth, power, and more hot suitors than she can shake a scepter at! But there’s a catch: Hassaku must turn this klutz into a lady of refinement, or Yuzu will lose everything!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Rags-to-Riches with some Drama and Romantic Tension...,
By Rixatrix (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Venus Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
The basic plot is that Yuzu, an orphan, is suddenly swept up by the handsome-but-distant bodyguard Kagami to a castle, where she begins her life as a candidate for the Shirayuki fortune.
The heroine herself isn't your typical well-behaved, kind-hearted pushover. She wants things her way, and she's not afraid to be stand up for herself and others. On a sidenote, I found the way she quoted her mother's "rules" hilarious! Yuzu's grandmother is also an interesting character; I'm curious about what happened with her daughter and how exactly she amassed her army of bishounen butlers. In the two volumes I've read, this story is shaping up to be a love triangle with some high-school drama. My favorite character so far is Iyo--I won't spoil his story, but it was touching to me. I like the cover and the artwork a lot--it's beautiful to look at. So why'd I rate it at 4 stars? Well, I like the story and the artwork, but what I did not appreciate was how the main love interest slaps Yuzu in the face in the first volume. He seems to have a good reason, and she feels like the one at fault, but I just can't find a character who hits the heroine appealing; it lessened my enjoyment of the book. Despite this, I am still anxious to read the third volume. If you like Hot Gimmick and Peach Girl, I think you'll like this. (Plus, Haruka reminds me of Sae! Haha.)

This review is from: Ultimate Venus Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
This is not a review for the series.
I want to give anyone thinking of adding this to their collection a warning - Go! Comi has gone out of business, and this series was NOT released completely, I repeat, this series is UNFINISHED. Only 5 of the (I think) 10 volumes have been released. While I hope that some other publisher may take it up and release the last half of the series, that is obviously not guaranteed. If you have not purchased this series yet, I recommend that you do not start.
