narutolvr's manga / #rich x poor(13)

It was a cute and sweet story, even though the eyes were waaaaaaay too big. Also, this can't be compared to Tokyo Crazy Paradise, imo. I guess in the way you can compare a Toyota to a Bugatti lol? Same concept but wildly different outcomes lol

I can't remember so well how this one goes, but I do recall the uke annoying me a bit with his capriciousness. It's interesting, though, to see the gap between his personality here, and in Koi...by the same author. Looks like Kayano's hard work paid off.

Synopsis: After her father is rushed to the hospital, Ririko is forced to take over his task for their family "Handy-man" business- to help clean house for a certain "Mr. Suou"... Review: Waaah I finished reading this! Only took 3 or so years of on again off again manga reading! All in all, it was a cute story. At times, it seemed about to sink into common shoujo tropes, but it managed to pull itself together and retain that light-heartedness I love just in time. The characters were...fine, I suppose? While a few of them were spoiled to the point where it irritated me at times, no one was truly unbearable. Even the part with Suou's mom that looked like it was gonna turn into a 3 volume drama filled sob story was cleared up in 2-3 chapters. Everything that would have had me rolling my eyes had they lasted any longer stopped just after I thought "lol, these people are silly". The ending may have been rushed, but I don't feel like dragging the story out further would enhance our impressions on the characters or plot or anything, so I rather liked the way it ended (though I'm a bit sad to see it go). Long story short, this was a nice, fun story that didn't take itself too seriously.
