First a manga, then a anime' now a drama!

I must say that at first i wasn't really into the series as i only saw the covers in the bookstore. Than a little later someone recommend it to me and told me what it was about. Later, I get a Dvd preview of random ep which show the wallflower on it, and with some more info from a friend i decide to finally give it a shot, After watching the first ep with my sister, i fell in love it and decided to buy the anime and it was awesome. After that I bought the manga and i still love it even now. Then i just recently found out that they made a drama and i got very excited cause i don't normally watch dramas but for this series i was willing to give it a shot. Now after I just finish watching it, i have to put this in my top favorites manga series.

I love the lessons and morals of each chapter and ep that come with this story on how to be a lady. Characters are all different in there own little way and share a bond that can never be broken.

As for the artwork kellykei, this artwork is not bad, it just that some people would think they look like girls when there not, otherwise it very beautiful.

The girl in this series is different, not innonce and not stupid (in fact very smart and good at cooking) and likes horror stuff that makes her different and the 4 boys are trying to change in order to get their free rent by becoming a lady, which people complain about but I don't understand why. People hate stupid, wimpy heroines in story but now there's a different one and now people don't like it? Make up you mind!

As for the manga being to long... I love that it is cause i wanted the anime and drama to continue but didn't which I find very sad but at least the manga keeps it alive but I do hope that it ends beautifully.

Not only does this story has lessons but it pack full of comedy and fun that keeps you wanting more, especially with the main heroine who can't seem to get herself out of trouble. It also has romance that is very cute to watch as you read it. I wish this series made a movie or 2nd season of either the anime or drama. I must say that Sunako's personitly is quite similar to Sawako in Kimi ni todoke who also like horrors and is changing both inside and out.
I higly recommend this series to you for i fell in love with it. So don't judge a book by the cover or artwork cause it's all about the fun and plot.

well this should have ended already, but damn it i love it i think it's so funny, it's by far my favorite shoujo manga and one of my favorites overall but yeah it's been dragging for too long and it's still ongoing and it really should be getting to an end where sunako finaly realises she's in lobe with kyohei too.

I love this manga! The main character is a horrifically adorable teenage girl obsessed with darkness. As 4 ridiculously cute bishounen try to turn her into a lady, we witness wacky events, desperate attempts and glimpses of love along the way.
I personally adore the art style. The chibi versions are so cute and the leads are drawn beautifully. It's not the best I've seen, but it's definitely good. Now, a lot of people think it's too dragged out, which is true. This manga seems extra long, for no purpose. But personally, after re-reading it good 3 or 4 times, I realize there are very few chapters I'd actually wish weren't there. I love the little stories so much! Each one is funny, cute, frustrating, and sweet and they always keep me entertained. I've been following this series for years and will keep on doing so. I hate when a good story ends, so I don't care if this went on another 100 chapters. (though a swifter ending would be greatly appreciated).

Its okay. I mean the story is FANTASTIC. BUT the one thing is the art. The isn't that great and its a let-down. Because you have such a good story-line but bad art. So I would reccomend this to somebody as long as they ignore the art.

To be honest I can´t decide whether or not to like this manga.
It surely is different, seeing as the female lead is a girl who you think just jumped out of a horror movie. I really loved that. The fact, that this manga, even though being a shojo, seemed so much different from all the others I had read, so I was really excited at first. But this excitement soon ebbed away, because if there is a manga out there that deserves the term "too dragged out" it is this manga.
I really tried to give this manga a try and the first few chapters were really amazing, but after a while I just couldn´t continue on. I started again and again, but there was a point were one just stopped reading, because it became so boring and seemed like any other adventure manga, where just nothing happened at all and it felt like the mangaka just kept on writing for the sake of doing something. When is it going to be finished?
All in all this isn´t one of my favourites, the artwork is ok, but nothing really eyecatching. Still you should give it a try at least, because the story is different, funny and hilarious, while also teaching you something about tolerance.

Not the typical but still a typical

The thing that stands out the most in this Manga is the fact that the main character is not your typical shoujo type girl. It is interesting to know that the Mangaka plays with the main characters personality making her interesting to read. I can say that this is not your typical manga and its real orientation is romance with a touch of melodramatic comedy.

I gave this a 9/10 rating because of my biased love for comedy/reverse harem types of Mangas. But I must say that this is definitely one great Manga to read!

I LOVE this series. I've read tons of shoujo and I'm quite tired of the usual cliches. This manga, however, has NONE of those. smile It's original and unique. Even the art style is. My only complaint would be the use of patterned furs. (blech) I love the characters as well. Sunako is crazy and awesome. She's her own person and very independent. Not at all like other shoujo heroines. I hate the ones who are clingy and break down into tears every godforsaken chapter. She doesn't loathe her faults and complain about her looks. I don't mind the slow romance. I live for stories like this. If you've ever read Skip Beat or Hana Kimi, you'll know the romance was slow in those but they're both AMAZING mangas. Also, Sunako is a little like Kyouko. She had her heart broken and is terrified of falling in love again. It's very funny and totally worth giving a chance. smile

I like this manga. It's fun and harmless. Yes, the plot development is extremely slow, and at times even takes steps backwards, but I still enjoy it. What I love best about it is Sunako; she's just weird and eccentric but in my opinion the funniest one of the group. I also enjoy the episodic nature of it. It allows there to be long gaps in chapter releases without you needing to refresh much of your memory. My biggest complaint is the fact that all four of the male leads, while their faces are quite lovely, their bodies look underweight to the point of anorexia. Seriously. It pains me to look at them.

EDIT: Ok. It's been a while since I wrote that, and now the manga is not so fun anymore. It's long and it's been dragging on for several volumes now. Nothing has developed either. Sure there have been tiny moments of development here and there but they are immediately forgotten when the next chapter arrives. Basically this manga is super fun in the beginning, but loses that charm later on. I hope it ends soon.

The Wallflower manga is...less good than the anime. Part of it is just a translation issue with the earlier scans (Evil Flowers takes over at about volume 25 and they do a great job!), but really, everything about this series works better in the show.

Art-wise they’re both weird, but least the anime has color which helps a lot because other than hair style and color, everyone looks pretty much exactly same. Especially our four main bishounen, like - in the manga, every time Kyohei gets his hair wet he looks exactly like Ranmaru, and it will sometimes take a few panels to realize who is who.

The anime doesn't have much of a plot, but it's harder to tell in a shorter format and arguably the last episode shows some progress (and everyone does at least seem to grow character-wise). The manga, however, has zero plot. In theory, the goal is making Sunako into a lady, but they never make any progress on that front and the stakes of not doing so (triple rent) are pointless when they aren't followed up on. (Obaa-san discovers that Sunako's made no progress and says she's going to collect from all of them/just Kyohei at least three or four times, and yet...nothing changes.) Also, the stories 100% start repeating (which makes sense, because no one ages in this manga; we go through at least three valentines days/christmases/halloweens, and while they reference previous years, no one learns anything or moves up a year in school or talks about growing up or colleges or jobs or anything). The stories not just similar, though, but literally the exact same scenario, like when Sunako tells Kyohei she hates living with him, Kyohei leaves and wanders Japan meeting up with strange people, and Sunako makes a big show and apologizes and he forgives her and comes back - this exact thing happens twice, with no mention of the previous time!

Also, character-wise, they're all basically the exact same people they were at the beginning (except Sunako, who doesn't change her personality but does become willing to tolerate other people). Romantically, everyone does make (some) progress in the manga: Noi and Takanaga kiss a couple times and are officially in a relationship, instead of everyone just assuming they are; Ranmaru is nice to Tamao and accepts that she is special to him -- though mostly due to manipulating from other people and while still playing around with women; there was a moment where Sunako and Kyohei seemed like they were going to realize their feelings for each other, but instead they just decided they were friends. Basically, though, everyone makes that amount of progress in the anime, and I didn't have to read 120 chapters of filler and backtracking for it to happen. Also, they bring in the other female characters a lot more in the show, which is great because yay, female characters, but also helps make the relationship growth between everyone seem more interesting and realistic; Noi and Sunako become friends almost immediately in the anime and then Noi shows up almost every episode, and while Tamao is introduced later, she then appears in almost every subsequent episode as well. The anime even goes so far as to include girls in places that they weren't in the manga in order to have a more balanced cast, which is pretty cool.

All the characters seem like they are more likable in the anime as well, and also, you know, they have actual growth there (even though we spend so much less time with them). For example, in the show, while Takanaga is nervous and hesitant about his relationship with Noi because he was sheltered growing up (and also because any time he does anything romantic with her his friends make fun of him), he definitely genuinely likes her a lot; in the manga he’s sometimes portrayed this way, but other times he's kind of just a dick. Also at one point,
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
the other boys and Sunako’s aunt lock Kyohei and Sunako in a room and tell him to rape her to make her a lady. This manga has portrayed women attacking the men and ripping their clothes off a lot with the men being rescued just in time, but it’s almost always to comedic effect - which is not really okay either, but it’s more okay than this scenario, which is 100% serious, just barely doesn’t happen, and then is never mentioned again. But also from a character point of view, it’s really weird of all of them to do this because they have all been shown to be friends by this point and to care about each other – and Sunako’s aunt not only supposedly loves her like a daughter, she has also proven that she won’t raise the rent (even if she threatens to) if Sunako doesn’t become a lady; so, even if they were being terrible and just doing it for the money, it makes no sense.


All in all, while parts of it were fun and made me laugh, I can’t really recommend this manga to anyone. It’s long and pointless and nobody grows up, and the jokes from chapter 1 just aren’t very funny by chapter 105. Watch the anime though! I’ve watched the anime a bunch of times, and it’s everything this manga could/should be.

The manga is very appealing by not taking on the overused clichés you find often in shoujo manga, furthermore it's highly satisfying that the heroine doesn't feel the need to change herself and embraces her own quirky personality.
But the story is very slow so don't read this manga if you find slow paced and slow developing characters immensely annoying
But I still think this manga is worth a read. Whether you like it or not you'll find out if you give it a read.
