Description
Rin is a tomboyish 14-year-old who lived with her grandpa in a small village out in the countryside. After her grandpa's death, Rin is obligated to leave her village to live with her mother in Tokyo. When she arrives, she discovers an amazing secret: her mother is not an office lady, but a famous model, Myu Suzuki!
After one night of reunion, Rin's mother leaves to follow some guy to an unknown foreign country without any notice other than a letter. Without any money to survive on, and the contract between Myu and the model company, what is Rin to do?

hmmm by Aarana on June 4th, 2008, 11:55am

I didn't find anything wrong with the ending. When I read the reviews first, I was thinking the worst. Actually, I thought it was a fantastic ending. More realistic than alot of Shoujo's that are out there.

That being said, there is a bit of shallowness to the characters. You never quite get why a person is as they are, and questions that are raised just never seem to be answered. I read this in one sitting, and I found myself dragging through it. I felt like I read 35 empty chapters that are leaving me to wonder. Quite honestly, the ending is what saved what little sanity I had.

Unlikely by blueseeker on February 9th, 2008, 11:10am

I noticed many felt the ending was not good and to a certain extend i agree. For one i really dislike when the mangaka makes you like a character that you feel will be the couple to the heroine and then turns it around and does the opposite, particularly when their relationship seemed more siblings like than a couple itself. Other than that i was happy with the ending because we were able to see her shine and try to accomplish all of her dreams.

Complex---- by EtceteraSpeed on January 19th, 2008, 12:45am

The story was really good. The storyline hooked me, the characters develop well, and the art is pretty good. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that it was too short and the fact that the ending really, really sucked. I mean, I've read thousands of shoujos and I can tell you that if you think that this ending was good, then, no ending is bad. Seriously. But give it a try. It's pretty good. If not for the ending, I would have given it a 9.3 XD

hmm by Dragoness57 on January 13th, 2008, 4:47am

i thought that it was actually pretty good. the plot was interesting enough to keep me going.. and not cliche enough to make me barf.

i just didn't like how the ending didn't explain everything.. but i guess open-ended isn't too bad either.

enjoyable... by melee86 on January 8th, 2008, 6:56am

not a bad story at all... the main character, as some reviewers have said, has inner strength which make this a reasonably good story, though I don't think I'd be interested in reading it again. It very much follows the storyline of other previous shoujos.

As for the ending, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although thats not to say I was totally satisfied. I'd call it more 'realistic' than 'happily ever after', and I must say I'm very tired of the 'happily ever after' scenario.

o.o; by bjorie on August 23rd, 2007, 9:49am

I actually really liked it.
I think people are highly too critical of it,. <3 It's suppose to be cutesy, and all that.
The "instant" success really makes sense to me, since people always get along like that when they are related to famous people (and are nice looking themselves). I actually haven't read to many like this story... but I ususally don't read the ones about idols and stuff, so that might be the reason I don't find it cliche. I like the main character also. If you want a real tear jerker, then this is not it.
The ending... is a classic shojo ending, sadly. >>;

Mediocre at best... by pokie on July 20th, 2007, 11:39pm

Like shikonhana stated, the story and character development maintains a superficial level but although I would catagorize this as a "fluff" story, I wouldn't say that it was a total waste of time to read it...
