The art is gorgeous, and the storylines had moments funny enough that I actually laughed out loud. I can't wait to see where else this is going to go in future volumes in terms of character development! ( ) The anime is honestly better than the manga. First of all Seven Seas decided to edit out SOME of the Japanese SFX and they seem to do it arbitrarily in this manga. Which makes some of the scenes looks goofy. Next the manga is in a 4-koma style format which sometimes doesn't lend itself well to the action going on. Lastly the little sister is even more sexualized on this. Which is super gross since she's what 10 or something. I have no idea why the manga-ka decided to do her that way, unless they wanted to attract a male audience? Many people might mark this book as "yaoi" but it so isn't. It's almost a parody of yaoi with the poses and such that go on. Overall it was decent but there's not a real lot of deep plot and it's even more short on the slice of life side. no reviews | add a review
