nobile's manga / #5*(220)

So many stories, this book compiles two other books (and a handful of other related stories) so that you can read everything in one go. I discovered that many of those stories were actually connected to other ones, I was quite pleased. Also, many of the stories here seemed to be sort of like a dark take on famous fairy tales, I loved that.

I just ADORE this art style... so gorgeous! The story was a bit hard to follow at first, it all seemed very scattered and over the top. By the second chapter, things made a bit more sense, even if they were still pretty over the top. I'm really looking forward to coming chapters. Ch 9.5 wahhhhh it's so nice how slowly she's developing real connections with people. I'm still rooting for blondie-kun though!!

Bookworm girl is sent to be the assistant of her uncle, a former writer and part-time detective. I kind of get the feeling it's gonna be quite bittersweet, if not a tragedy. So far it's all just speculation, but the author has a great way to get me to really feel for the characters and something in the back of my head tells me it's just to get me to feel a strong reaction when something happens to them. I WANT MORE! ch 6

10-page long, short story about a loud guy that hates girls having to do class duty with a VERY QUIET and dutiful girl.
