Not that great

I agree with pleochroic, I don't see what's so amazing about this manga.
Sure it was cute and all, but that's it. Cute with lots of smut, like many others Yaois out there. I enjoyed the fantasy element in it, of how a doll turns into a human and comes to love his master, but i find that their love was pretty groundless.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
The ending of where a jealous lover (pretty much out of nowhere) comes out and wrecks Shimeji and then Shin spending 13 years of his life fixing him seemed like it came straight out of a cliche shoujo series. I would've expected more emotions with this kind of story plot.

very sad

i may be hormonal or what, but the end (before the extra) is very very sad. it is supposed to be a happy resolution of course, but somehow thinking of being unchanging and with someone older and older withering away....no joke, i cried. this is the type of manga i like, simple plot, likable characters, cute interactions and the little extra that make me moved. that's why i give it a high rating eventhough objectively there's nothing special in it. but i think, over all this manga is very cute and lighthearted, so don't be discourage by what i said before, it really is not a tragedy!

My favorite mangas of all time.
I thought it was really cute and I really loved the ending. It was very touching to me. So sad...

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I couldn't believe that he'd give up his education, his "life" committing to knowing how to fix his beloved "doll"(sorry I forgot his name). And for 13 years, just for his love.... It made me cry. Really heart wrenching....

The giving up of something really important or necessary to a person, just for another in act of selflessness, love, kindness, is just something very admirable...
But what made me cry the most, & what made others cry too, is when after Shin passed away, and the doll never moved again.
"Those two must have gone to heaven together." I believe that they are in heaven together.


By the way, I started crying again after typing in my thoughts of the manga above & remembering what happened.... Really I am. My sister's wondering why I'm crying right now. lol
I'm such a crybaby... {='P

Mishima-Sensei~ What else can I say? I've read most of her mangas because I just love the twists she puts to the whole Seme and Uke roles.

I've read this one about three times and I'm pretty sure I'm reading it again in the near future. The plot isn't amazing, nothing unique. But the characters and the cuteness makes up for the lack of originality.

The art? Amazing, as always, again nothing extraordinary, but definitely above average.

The manga is nothing spectacular or out of this world but it's definitely a nice lighthearted read. It's short but it's definitely not a waste of time. It's a good breath of a fresh air from those dramatic, angsty yaois with the raping and mean semes ^_^

because i don't see what's so great here. i actually agree that this is one of mishima's better works; her art has become somewhat decent (though i still hate her eyes; they always look angry), but it only stands out among her own works, not overall. maybe i've read too much good realistic BL lately, but this simply didn't touch me. the premise wasn't bad; i actually enjoy "doll turns human" stories. but shimeji was annoying as hell, shin is pretty much devoid of any personality, and there was little character development. there is also no mechanism to make the plot work, which isn't uncommon for japanese fantasy, but it always bothers me. and the end seemed rushed; we only get told that years have passed, we see nothing of whether shin ever felt despair (who wouldn't?). oh, and that joke shin pulled at the end was idiotic and hurtful and made me dislike him.

I know the plot throws you off...another of those "doll turning human" plots, but give it a try! It's a wonderful story with such a beautiful ending. It brings you to tears! No, it's NOT tragic..the fact that the doll lives off his master's love should give the hint that they'd be together forever. Such amazing dialogue too, the way the characters expressed themselves. Everything just fit perfectly together. There weren't any unecessary drama. This story will make you laugh, cry and the extra gives you a little somethin somethin wink
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Cause when it ended, I was about to deleat the yaoi in the genre but the extra makes up for it.
Anyway, I've read this author's other works..but this one is her best so far.. I was really moved. Their dedication to each other... such serenity! I really love it.

Strange how incredibly cute, heartwarmingly sweet and yet painfully angsty this manga is. The characters are very nicely done and the story is quite impressive - I generally like Mishima Kazuhiko's works but I agree that this one is one of her best. I felt my heart ache near the end when
Spoiler (highlight to view)
that crazy guy attacked Shimeji. It was so awful to see his cute doll-face broken, and when I saw Shin crying over him.... my god, I was really touched.

Just like with the end. I was surprised that Shin spent 13 years on learning how to repair Shimeji by his own hands, but it was really sweet. However, the text on the second last page was what totally got me gasp for air: "Many long years later, the master's life was finally nearing its end... and even then, the doll remained at his master's side.
... And when his master finally passed away, the doll never moved again." I was actually touched to my soul. Really.


Unusal from Mishima-sensei, there really isn't much "action" in this story - near the end of it I thought it will end with shounen-ai (I would be alright with that, too). But the extra has a really yummy and sweet bed-scene.^^

The only reason I didn't give it 10 is that I preserve that to my absolute favourites. But this is definitely a must read. smile )

This was just plain C-U-T-E! There were a lot of sweet, fluffy moments and the ending made me go "awww." I've read this one 3 times over already and still can't get enough of these two lovable characters! If you want a quick and super sweet read, then you simply MUST give this one a try!
But....
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Don't be fooled on who the seme and uke are! Who knows? In the end, their "roles" may just surprise you.

... But I liked the way it turned out ^^ I always get this super giddy feeling after I'm finished reading smile I find the idea very unique!
