Description
From Aerie Scans:
After being dumped, followed closely by her grandmother's sudden death, the chubby Yuri is left broke and homeless. That is until she discovers that her grandmother had been lying to her for years. Her mother is not dead, but is in fact a famous movie star, and very much alive.
Upon arriving at her mother's house, she meets her three new beautiful siblings, all from different fathers. Her newfound family is filled with hilarious oddities, ranging from laziness to drunkennes to gay incest. She is constantly antagonized by her brothers Sumire and Aoi. And her sister Fuyou does little to help. And thus Yuri becomes little more than a maid in the household, catering to her siblings needs while her mother travels the world. But as Yuri's warmth fills the house which before had been so cold...what will happen between her and her brothers? Can they come to see each other as siblings before it's too late?

The series received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo in 1994.

read this! by elalendi on November 23rd, 2009, 7:48pm

I read this whole thing... in one breath. I really wasn't expecting to like it, but it really surprised me. I loved all the characters and even though the story SOUNDED stupid and cliche, it turned out to be really good. The art too, is actually quite nice once you get used to it. The ending was great and happy too... anyway, even though I did think the story was complicated and too incest-y at times it really ended up not being as bad as I thought...

Let me just say that it is josei and it is mature (but no smut at all, thankfully) and if you keep an open mind you'll definitely love this. It's heartwarming and deep.

Great shojo manga by comel on September 1st, 2009, 3:29am

This is one to hold tittle great shoujo manga... Cause the story is quite simple, yet realistic n problematic ^^; ... full of beautiful and touching philosopies of life. And how the heroine struggles that make her evolved from little bud to be beautiful blossom flower.
I'd like every shoujo mangaka read this manga. It would give them great aspiration to make good quality manga

Really fantastic by Togainfx on June 18th, 2009, 11:53pm

This series is so much better than a lot of shoujo series I see now (I not saying ALL, there are plenty of great ones). Maybe because it's a decade old? I don't know. But it has a lot more depth and a more interesting storyline than a lot of shoujo manga. And frankly, I think the art is fantastic ( I find the simplicity and similarity of a lot of shoujo art nowadays somewhat annoying). Anyway, this story really hooks you in with the enticing plotline and fantastic characters. It might seem like 16 volumes is a lot, but each chapter is stuffed with awesomeness and emotion! Anyway, I absolutely love this manga (and wish there were more english releases of it!) and I recommend it to anyone looking for good shoujo.

thank you sweetsense! by muzwany on May 26th, 2009, 12:23pm

this is an awesome manga, one of the few shoujo manga i ever came to like. i can't say i find it very realistic *caugh* but there's a sweetness around these characters that's not just made of cotton candy. and their meanness is glorious.

but sweetsense needs a proofer >.<

OH MY GOD YES. by tartufo on April 8th, 2009, 11:34pm

Finally, this project's been picked up again! Thank you so much, SweetSense! And please, please, please stick with it. This is, like, the best shoujo manga ever. Probably the most realistic heroine you'll find in this genre - she isn't some sort of super-genki, pretty, giggly, cutish creature with the intelligence of a gnat. Instead, she's a real girl with a real figure (not a stick-insect!) and a real mind and a real heart, and a quiet, reflective personality that is romantically swayed but not brainless. She's not super-weak or super-strong, but just a girl that's in-between, that has her stubborn moments and her vulnerable moments. Such a great character.

Please to be continuing this project! <3

My little rose. by NightSwan on October 16th, 2008, 3:08pm

Very good. I must say. Comedic and dramatic and eccentric.
Heard people complaing about the art. Nothing to whine about at all.
It's not a new series, and has very good art for its time. Not shoujo-ish (a very important thing).
I love the characters' personalities. Very unique and funny.
The main characters are all loveable.

Quite the original story. Although I must say, the stranslations are poor...
Hope to see more in the near future.

Great Manga by rmr34 on September 8th, 2008, 8:31pm

I've recently read up to the lastest Chapter. It's a great series. I hope it gets more scanlations. I like the characters. Up to one point I liked Sumire but in one chapter I didn't like him. Aoi has replaced his lead. I like Aoi for some reason.

The art grows on you, and it does get better I guess. The story itself is interesting. I like to read more of this. Hope more chapters come along!

Simply beautiful! by funbun33 on August 24th, 2008, 4:03am

This is one of those series that you will never forget. It has that old drawing style and heartwarming scenes that will surely make your day and you will love each and every one of the characters. This is a must read for all shoujo/josei lovers as well as all manga lovers. I recommend this with all my heart!

AWESOME! by Christina2699 on July 22nd, 2008, 11:26pm

AHHH!! I am so excited about this manga. I have watched the drama (staring Ella Chen) and had no idea my favorite drama is based from a manga! I started to read it and it is excellent, even better than the drama!
