Kalian tahu apa itu 'Ge Sketchbook Company'?
Sebuah perusahaan peneribit terbesar yang ada di tengah indahnya Kota Amsterdam, Belanda.
And bingo! Tuan Ge adalah pendirinya. Seorang pria dewasa berusia 40 tahun yang sangat gagah dengan stelan jas mahal yang membalut tubuhnya. Jam tangan berkilau kalau sinar sang surya menerpa permukaannya. Mobil mewah dengan harga fantastis serta rumah bertingkat yang menyaingi tingginya gedung pencakar langit di tengah kota.
Rupanya? Sangat tampan! Di usia yang semakin tua, pria dewasa pemilik nama Ge Hansen Joost itu tak pernah mendapatkan hujatan perihal tampangnya yang ikut menua. Semakin tua, semakin mempesona! Itulah yang mereka katakan kala tak sengaja bersua dengannya.
Sayangnya, ia sudah berkeluarga. Satu istri dan seorang putri cantik. Mereka memanggilnya Amanda Hansen Ge. Bukan kisah Amanda yang super duper mewah jauh dari kata 'kurang' yang akan aku ceritakan di sini. Namun, kisah ku! Kisah seorang gadis berusia hampir mirip dengan Amanda Hansen, namun aku sedikit tua tiga angka di atasnya.
Usiaku 21 tahun. Menjelang 22 tahun jikalau tahun ini berakhir. Namaku adalah Luna. Luna Theresia Skye. Terlalu panjang jikalau kata teman-temanku menyebutnya. Jadi, mereka mempersingkat. Hanya Luna Skye. Kata mereka itu sangat cantik! Secantik paras dan tubuh yang aku milikki.
Yang ada di dalam diriku adalah bentuk kesempurnaan yang berhasil dilukiskan semesta untuk ciptaannya. Namun, sayangnya mereka tak melukis indah takdir percintaan yang menyertai dalam setiap langkah yang kuambil. Salah satu kebodohan yang kupunyai dalam kehidupan percintaanku adalah ... aku mencintai bosku itu. Ya, Tuan Ge Hansen Joost!
Sudah berkeluarga? Memang! Tapi aku tetap menyukai dan ingin memiliki raga serta rasa dalam diri pria yang 21 tahun lebih tua dariku itu.
Gila bukan? Memang. Aku ini memang gila!

Story
The manga has (from up to the beginning of volume two) followed the same format of Ageha basically helping other girls get what they so desire through the use of beauty and makeup. It emphasizes the importance of makeup in transforming any average-looking girl into a beauty. From what I've read so far, 'conflicts' arise mainly due to disbelievers in the "Legend of Ageha," and imitators of Ageha's work. While these conflicts serve to extend the storyline and perhaps teach a lesson between the leading characters after they conclude, there is not much else driving the plot, nothing to give the reader a reason to flip each page in excitement.
Art
The art ranges from so-called 'good' to 'bad.' Standard shoujo elements appear in the artwork—big eyes, blushes, interesting hairstyles. There is quite a huge contrast between Rin and her 'secret' persona in terms of appearance. In the end, I could easily say that the art is not anything special, nor is it poorly done to detract from a reader's experience. As the manga emphasizes physical 'beauty,' the artist delivers a satisfactory performance in showing how makeup can 'transform' normal-looking girls into beautiful women.
Character
One of Ageha's poorest elements arguably, the characters are rather flat and only serve to continue the initial role in the story they are given, so far not even appearing to deviate from their chosen path. As the only common returning characters are Rin and Riku, other appearing characters receive no development or interesting characterization. While Rin's objectives are explained, there is nothing else behind what she initially believes. Riku's decisions in assisting Rin are a muddle of confusion, although perhaps this may be explored in later chapters.
Enjoyment
I picked Ageha 100% up out of boredom. There is nothing behind it that could ever put this title onto my favorites list, but it served to entertain me for the hour I spent reading this title. Any shoujo fan may like to pick this up for a short read, but don't expect any mind-blowing artwork or plotline.
Overall
Summarizing Ageha 100%'s strongest points:
A straightforward plotline that follows the story outline initially set and explained in the first chapter.
Artwork ranging from good to bad, but satisfactory in supporting this title.
There is not much else to say besides the fact that I would recommend shoujo fans to pick this up if they have nothing else to find. While I would not specifically recommend this to people looking for recommendations of shoujo manga, it is not per se the worst thing I've ever read."
