This review is exclusively for story 6: Advent Prince, the only one I could locate.
I don’t have extensive familiarity with Ryuu Yuuhi's work, and her art in this story didn’t particularly appeal to me. In their normal forms, both characters appeared somewhat mechanical, and neither of their faces conveyed much emotion or charm during intimate moments like laughter or sighs.
As for the plot, you might expect some depth to the characters when a popular prince-like figure shows interest in an unassuming girl. However, it seems his attraction to her stems solely from the convenience of the mangaka’s narrative—apparently, he’s harbored a crush on her since middle school, which has lasted for about a year now. This is "Prince" (yes, that’s literally his name!), who, at the start of high school, finds himself on the committee with Karen, who humorously refers to herself as looking like a monkey. During a walk back home, their conversation inexplicably leads to him asking her out, setting off the usual drama surrounding a less-than-stunning girl being pursued by the class heartthrob. Enter mean girls bullying her, awkward self-consciousness, and infatuation—but refreshingly, Karen isn’t a damsel in distress; she stands up for herself. Good for her!
The first kiss scene is hilariously absurd in its context, though not necessarily in its emotional impact. If you’re reading this, I’d suggest skipping straight to the end just for that moment. However, for serious shoujo enthusiasts, steer clear of this story. You’ll likely regret wasting even five minutes of your life on it.
it was kinda disturbing at first but eventually made my day .. i read a lot of negative along the story but really, it depends on how the reader view the story. as for me, it maybe disturbing but hey, it's a story. a good one actually.
