Queen's Quality, Vol. 1 (1) by Kyousuke Motomi

Okay I'm fresh off reading "QQ Sweeper" and was absolutely delighted by this volume! It's exactly what I wanted to see in the continuing storyline and I'm soooo eager to delve into the rest of the books :D

Beast Master, Vol. 2: Final Volume! (2) by Kyousuke Motomi

Part of a reread project to weed through my manga.

Still super cute, but the outta left field revelations impacted my enjoyment. The story didn't have time to expound on the developments so they occurred, Leo did his crazy eye violence thing and it ended. Leo and Yuiko have the obligatory moment of. "oh no, we'll be separated!" that almost every shoujo I read has. It ended predictably.

As a short manga its cute and is a good intro to Motomi's works (Dengeki Daisy is adorable too).

Beast Master, Vol. 1 (1) by Kyousuke Motomi

Current reread to weed through my manga collection a bit - this is cute, but much too short. The manga itself is only 6 chapters and an epilogue spread across 2 volumes with two bonus stories.

Yuiko is an everyday sort of shoujo heroine - cute, well liked, a bit quirky. Leo is a cinnamon roll that looks like a psycho that goes dark when threatened. Honestly it would be worrying if Motomi wasn't at pains to say he is harmless unless threatened.

One of the cuter aspects of the manga is the "Banchou" (gang leader) who's super wholesome (neighborhood watches, takes care of strays, protects the weak...).

Overall I enjoy it, but I'm super worried that clearly mentally unwell gal like Morishita is just wandering around freely after nearly killing Yuiko twice.… (more)

Queen's Quality, Vol. 1 (1) by Kyousuke Motomi

“You’ve trouble communicating but … You can’t use that as an excuse to treat people badly.”

I really want to reread the prequel because I enjoyed it when I first read it. It was definitely a refreshing standout for shoujo. From what I remember this hasn’t lost its charm. In the original series, Fumi was about getting paid. If you weren’t offering money, she wasn’t interested. No working for free! It seems like bills are the least of her worries here.

This new series still has them fighting evil and depressive thoughts (the real villain was poor mental health all along) with the power of cleanliness, Fumi’s amnesia still rears its head, and the author’s signature humor is still good and here. I love how awkward and earnest Kyutaro is when he stops hiding his feelings and how Fumi isn’t the usually cookie-cutter shoujo lead.

Will be reading the next volume!… (more)
