well well well. now we have here a series by Nakamura Yoshiki-sensei. hahaz, there's about 20 books already, so i can't say that i discovered a new series...but never mind. yupps, this manga is by the same author as Tokyo Crazy Paradise, which is one hilarious (and rather confusing) manga. in terms of humour, i guess it could possibly rival Slayers, that being a great accomplishment.

i guess, one reason why i chose to pick this off the shelves, is that the character design is rather similar to that of Tokyo Crazy Paradise. except that the characters have really different personalities. even the main character has quite a lot of change in her. well, for one, she's glad to be a girl (ahem). hahaz. just like in Tokyo Crazy Paradise, the art does not disappoint. though one might find the humour scenes of the characters stupid or childish, the other serious scenes definitely show the 'greatness' of art work by the author. o well. anyways, the storyline is definitely very different from Tokyo Crazy Paradise, as it is more...'girly'??!! in a sense that it's not about the yazuka, neither is it about saving the world...it's just a girl who wants fame...i guess. but never mind, that's not the main point. the main point is...Fuwa Sho and Tsuruga Ren! whee, both look like Kise Akira and Ryuuji from Tokyo Crazy Paradise, though now, Ren is much much more shuai than Sho...hmm...more mysterious too, just like Aoshi!! arh. *drools. kk. i shall READ to find out more...*dies...
