Hikitate Yaku no Koi

1) Hikitate Yaku no Koi This story is about a girl who is used to playing second fiddle to her beautiful friend. When there's a guy who actually likes her, she is incapable of seeing it as true. The characters are really good and life-like, and the story is really fun an plausible. This story would be a good basis for a serialization. 2) Isshun no Tsuki The second story is the best in the collection. It tells a story about a girl who keeps craving for her older sister's things, including her boyfriend. I like this story because there's an unexpected turn of events. There's a deepercharacterization and conflict within and between the characters. I did not find anything notable in the third and fourth story of this collection. To sum it up, this collection is not superb, but it is not a bad read, because the first two stories are rather good and I really enjoyed Shimaki Ako's art.
