Story: Well the story is quite simple. Starts out with a girl by the name of Rena Sakura who is in secret a highschooler/mangaka. She tends to write love manga's and is trying to deepin her story's with more. One day she runs into the most popular guy in school, Tomoya Okita (the guy that turns all the girls down), who makes a joke to her that she was trying to advance on him. In the process of running into him she drops her manga rough drafts and after a visit to her editiors figures out that they are back at school. In the meantimeTomoya is reading the drafts and when Rena comes back to retrieve them she finds Tomoya who says "Your drawings are really perverted." She then asks Tomoya to go out with her and he accepts. To find out what all happens read it ^^ Art: The art work is really good. There tend to be a lot of people and the backgrounds (to me at least) tend to all look similar. But other then that it is all drawn very nicely. Characters: The characters are great. Tomoya isn't what you'd think of him at the beginning (again you'll have to develop you're own opinion about him) And Rena is in a way incredibly innocent yet not at the same time. The way she acts around Tomoya is pretty funny. She also tends to over react which is really funny Enjoyment: I enjoyed this manga a lot. It isn't really mature but it's quite funny and romantic at times. It's a little similar to some other stuff i've read but it's still has a good story. I enjoyed reading it and I would definatly reread it. (You can read all of this manga at OneManga fyi)
Rena may only be in high school, but she already has an important job -- she's a successful shoujo mangaka! When she decides that some experience with dating is necessary to draw better romances, she chooses famous actor Tomoya to help her learn what it's like to be in love. Even though they're dating strictly for business' sake, Rena finds herself falling deeply in love with Tomoya. Seems like romance is a lot harder than it looks in manga! Included one-shots: Volume 1: Magical☆Project Volume 2: Bewildered♥Princess
I really like this manga. They have separate stories with the same characters... it did start out as a one-shot. Right now, i saw that there are 2 volumes out, each with a different challenge to the two lovers. The characters are, for me, very cutely drawn... especially the lead, Tomoya, but the lead girl, Rena, is also vary cute since she's always drawn in chibi form. There are also not much main characters to complicate the series... its only Rena and Tomoya. Anyway, the manga has its cute moments, some corny moments, but it's nice.
ill do it quick: i like shojo manga's but this one is way too predicted. its nothing new' the story is kind of the same story as the last 1000 shojo manga's that iv'e read' the art is normal and the characters aren't special or anything. im givivng it a 6 for everything, because even though its not special or anything' therte are still cute shojo parts that we ALL like in some way or another. so if you really cant find anything to do, this manga will only pass your time a bit.
I very much enjoy this manga! It's just a general, cutesy, short manga. The manga doesn't dance around too much with uneeded filler, just cute and wholesome. The art is very beautiful, too. I don't have much to say except it's exactly what it looks like. I like that Rena had some nice dimension to her with how she felt about Tomaya (eek almost said a spoiler!). I am slightly upset there wasn't more to do with side characters or rivals (as short as this manga is) because they just kind of felt like "We're here so the world is less empty." I did enjoyit though a whole lot! If you have time to just sit down and read two volumes because you like soft romances, this should suit you fine. Obviously not for anyone who isn't a big fan. Also, no aggressive or abusive/toxic elements like you tend to find in these sorts of manga!!!! I was way too happy about that. Overall it was very good! A pleasurable experience with very pretty early 2000's art style. Would read again if I was bored or needed a wholesome pick-me-up with a short time slot.
Reading this in 2023 was a very fun thing to do. Reminiscing on past shojo mangas it became a fun read. While it is a very short read that can be finished in a night, that doesn't take away from the impression that you will get from the characters. Rena and Tomoya are a couple that not only fit very well together but was something that happened a lot quicker than other shojos at the time and it is honestly quite refreshing to see a relationship that doesn't take chapters to build albeit it does make the relationship feel less natural. It would have beengreat if there was more information on Tomoya's sister, another mangaka but I think the after stories that are included do paint a pretty good picture on how she was. Overall there aren't too many shojo mangas about mangakas (especially around this time) that create a relationship that is so cute that it will leave a lasting impression on you. Definitely a solid read in 2023 if you enjoy quick paced short shojos.
