There's a lot of manga in the world, and with as much respect that is due, most of it isn't worth reading. Still, it's worth slogging through that 90% to find creators with real talent and depth, creators like Shimizu Reiko.
This collection is Shimizu at her best. The stories all manage to make the reader think while retaining a pleasant shoujo atmosphere. Shimizu's storytelling style is clearly heavily influenced by Hagio Moto, the reigning goddess of shoujo manga, and she occasionally alludes to that venerable creator, but her stories are all still original enough to give her a signature flavor. This Shimizu tasting course is a must-read for any fan of the shoujo genre.

| so stupid... by thismomentisfate on December 19th, 2008, 8:45am |

Spoiler (highlight to view) the main girl was so annoying and weepy. i understand her loneliness, but she was willing to let the guy die rather than let him leave and be happy, her obsession was a bit much, she was so annoying. like an idiot she even decides to give up all her worldly possessions to this guy that only wanted to escape from her, is she stupid? maybe she is insane. she has this sweet loyal guy next to her and yet she is too blind to see that. to me this is just like other shoujo manga, a stupid weepy main girl obsessed with a guy for his appearance or fame, nothing different.

| Amazing by luzzz on September 16th, 2008, 6:04pm |

This one-shot was absolutely amazing and beautifully written. The relationship that develops between the man and the woman is wonderfully characterised.

Oh, this was a lovely oneshot!
It's definitely a break from all the supeficial shoujo oneshots that are totally vapid and silly, and it's different from the slice-of-life stuff as well.
It's sweet, but also makes you think a little, even if everything is masked up by the simple plot.
I loved the story, and I think I'm going to continue reading this manga-ka's other works. |
