PAPA? MAMA?

Four of Japan’s hottest guys are doing their best in their mission to turn dark, macabre Sunako into a dainty young woman. Gorgeous Ranmaru is famous for his smooth way with the ladies. But when a cute toddler named Rin shows up calling Ranmaru “Daddy,” it seems that Ranmaru’s days of swinging bachelorhood may be over! Ranmaru swears that Rin is not his kid, but they sure look an awful lot alike.

Ranmaru does his darndest to avoid the little boy, but Sunako turns out to have a soft spot for the little squirt. It looks like Ranmaru just might have to accept his role as father–and Sunako seems like the perfect mom. Will motherhood finally turn Sunako into a true lady?

4.0 out of 5 stars Hmm..., June 24, 2008

This is an interesting storyline, so why is is making me yawn? The stories are cute, but this volume really seems to deviate from the whole plotlines that have been going on before. It's just a bunch of filler.

In this volume the main story is Ranmaru discovering that he may have a son. Due to the propensity of his affairs, it's entirely possible that he may have a son (and I'd be surprised if he didn't). Of course Ranmaru is standoffish at first, but eventually it leads to Sunako taking charge of the boy, which leads to a tease of a Sunako/Ranmaru pairing (would never happen, but it's cute to play at it). The entire story is like a bowl of whipped cream. It's light, sweet, & fluffy... but only good in small doses. Unfortunately this is just the beginning of a whole string of filler episodes. It's a fun ride, but it doesn't mean that it won't get a little tedious.

Would I recommend this? Sure. The storyline's weakened considerably, but it's still a decent series so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, April 5, 2006

Every few months, when a new book of the Wallflower series is available in English, I go to my bookstore and eagerly buy it up. I have read every single one of the English versions that are available and am a huge fan. But, I have to say, I was disappointed by Volume 7. The storyline didn't seem to follow from the previous book, some of the story lines didn't make sense at all, and worst of all, it was mildly boring! I gave it the benefit of the doubt and reread it, simply because I WANTED to love it just as I love all the others. But sadly, I do not. I definitely don't hate it, and I'm glad I have it and that I read it, but I'm still a little disappointed that the book isn't characteristic of Tomoko Hayakawa's typical work. I love her though!
