A MATCH MADE IN HELL

Four of Japan’s hottest guys are struggling (in elegant surroundings) with the biggest challenge of their lives . . . transforming the geeky goth, Sunako, into a delicate lady. When Sunako’s auntie–and the guys’s landlady–arrives unannounced, she finds Sunako enjoying a slasher flick in the darkest recesses of her room. Clearly no progress has been made! So auntie decides there’s only one way to turn her niece into a lady: Send Sunako and Kyohei on a little romantic getaway. Their accommodations for the evening consist of a vibrating bed, two-way mirrors, and a security guard who’s blocking the only exit. Can Sunako survive a night alone with a creature of the light?

Sunako's aunt finally begins to wonder if her niece is really as much of a lady as the boys claim she is & comes home unannounced... only to discover that Sunako is mostly unchanged. Her aunt decides that the only way to turn Sunako into a lady is to give Sunako her "first time" with Kyohei (she was told that they were a couple & was never told the truth). Sunako then has to survive a night with the "creature of the light". Also in this volume we begin to see more of Kyohei's past life with his family and why he's so antisocial. When an offhand remark sends Kyohei running off, the entire group has to wonder if he'll ever return again...

I really liked this volume. It made up for the filler episodes by showing us some real character development between the main characters of Kyohei & Sunako. Looking at Kyohei's past, it's frankly understandable why he became the way he is. I really enjoyed this volume. I'd recommend it, but by this point the only ones who should be reading it are ones who are familiar w/ the plot-- the story is too far along to jump in anywhere at this point.

I absolutely love the Wallflower series. It has toe be my favorite manga because it is just soo unbelievably funny. There's hardly a page that goes by when I don't want to laugh. And although, the first one in the series remains, in my opinion, the funniest, that is no reason to stop reading the series.
