Sweet Rein is the story about Santa Claus and his reindeer. The FMC being the Santa Claus of course. The reindeer isn't just an animal but a boy with who is servitude of the Santa, meaning anything the Santa Claus says regardless of how far they are from each other. So you have a master slave relationship in a form of Santa Claus and reindeer. Also the reindeer can transform at Santa Claus's request to either a reindeer or a highschool boy.

Most of the series is actually either set in christmas or a beach episode (oddly). So the series actually has these big time skips per chapter. They essentially spend i believe 2 Christmases. Maybe 3 im not sure. Point is the series isn't all that memorable. Its short and fun when you read it but their is practically nothing fancy about this series. In a sense it reminds me Ao haru ride but even Ao haru ride had good character development and something unique to it. In here its christmas... or a beach episode.

I liked the MMC tbh. He was the forward and kind type. He had good chemistry with the FMC. The rest of the cast was also fine. The black Santa Claus (racism i know), did the sterotypical bad but not that bad kinda stuff. There was some weak love triangle near at the end as well.

The romance was nice but the problem lies in the ending. Its not good. Like i guess its obvious you know. But its still dissapointing how the author decided to leave a relative open end instead.

TLDR: It was decent and fun till the ending. Quite sad too. The oneshots that came with it weren't much better either. 5/10

The concept is rather strange, but it makes more sense when you know it was originally created as a oneshot for a wintertime issue. I kind of think it would have been better off staying a oneshot (it feels weird stretching this story for 3 whole volumes, with summer & christmas as the two switching themes…) that being said, Tsukuba's art is pretty and nicely toned, and at least the concept has some originality to it.

The 'Sweet Bite Mark' bonus story was an early work and features rougher art and a slightly cliched vampire plot.

This story was somewhat weird....and we never really get to see the interactions that make the characters fall in love with each other. But, the premise is pretty good and the art is nice too.

I am so surprised that I like this manga! I thought it was goin to be lame and corny. Not to mention I totally judged it by the plot description. I was wrong! This manga was so cute! It was very unique and I love their relationship. It's so simple but so strong without all the mushy words and cliche situations. I really enjoyed it! It seems like it's not complete though! I read the end of volume 3 but it doesn't seem like it's done, unless that's how it ended? Hmm nevertheless, quite enjoyable!

This manga is so much then I expected! It's a good read. It's sooooo cute!!
one thing though, unless I read wrong, but how can some one still be 17 after 3(?) Christmas?......

When I read that it was about a girl Santa, I though it might be lame, or too silly or just... weird. But actually, it's one of the better mangas I've read, and way cute. It does have quite a bit of unlikeliness, like her age staying the same for more than three Christmases, or the fact that santa and reindeer have to kiss to remove the leash every year when usually santa isn't a girl, or I guess the fact that so many people readily accept the santa/reindeer story when she tells them, but I'm sure the author was well aware of these things and did it purposely. Either way, I ended up not minding those details a bit because the art is gorgeous, the story is adorable and sometimes intriguingly mysterious, and it's clean while keeping up a romance. And oh, my goodness, Kaito and Aruto get many kudos for being the most beautifullest bishies I ever seen (squee >o<)!
