Shiono was swimming in the sea one day, when a strange man grabbed her ankle. This is no ordinary man. He changes into a boy and then into a teenager. Just what she needs when she is trying to win the love of her school mate...

Chibi Tarou was so cute and funny!!! Oh my, it was interesting and made me want to read more of the chapters. It's a pity only 3 chapters were scanlated. I only even got to read up to 3a. 🙁
I've read the mangaka's other work and her story's execution is interesting and plotted well. Along with this, her art and style are something to commend - facial expressions, angles, and actions in panels. It's sad her other works were not scanlated.
Hmm.. The story looks quite interesting, and the characters are drawn nicely... I loved how it started, the touch of angst and the beautiful coloring of the first page. And the characters are interesting and complex--Shiono's unrequited love (who I'm guessing also likes her, but for now his intentions remain undisclosed, ehehe..); Shiono, who's cute and tomboy-ish; and the stranger, who makes this manga that much better than the rest already. He's.. ah, he's interesting! XD And I have a sneaky suspicion that this will turn into a love triangle. The first chapter is a bit mysterious, especially with the stranger, but the way the manga-ka established everything wasn't too shabby. The characters' interactions are well-thought out, and can be quite funny.
I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, which is more than I can say for a lot of series...
I actually liked the story. My first try on Ootani-sensei's work. She can draw bishies and girls really good. Urashima is supposed to be an archaic plot but I am surprised I've enjoyed reading it with my limited Japanese knowledge...
I recommend this story... Tarou-kun daisuki!!!
