Summary: soooooooooooooo addictive
Review: After finishing the first I went out the next day to get the 2nd and so on. This manga leaves you wanting more. I have to say that its seems that it would be more enjoyable to females because its like a romance novel, but I guess guys could like it to.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: Hot Gimmick, since the moment I read the first chapter, has become a favorite for me. Miki Aihara knows her shoujo, and delivers it in a fresh and heart-stirring way.Meet Hatsumi, a normal teenager in a normal family, an older brother, and two younger siblings, a sister and brother. There's the boss' son(Ryoki), a bully, who doesn't understand his own feelings, and the gorgeous(yum!) childhood friend(Azusa), which Hatsumi hopes will become MORE than a friend. But fate is not always so kind, especially since Hatsumi becomes Ryoki's slave while she tries to help her sister. She then she discovers that her knight in shining armor may not really be there to save her and that life can't get more confusing than this... or can it? I recommend this to all shoujo fans. It has messages of bullies, love, revenge, and innocence, that everyone must learn to ever grow up. Hopefully by reading this manga, you'll learn something about your life, and yourself.

Summary: Hot Gimmick is stick to its title--it really is HOT
Review: I fell at the beginning that some of the characters are twisted in this story.
Yet, that's what make them so unique and original. The characters in this manga will left strong impression on you.
Hatsumi, the main character is a kind hearted girl but also a pushover girl who cant stand up and got tongue tied in nasty situation. So, when her long time no see childhood neighboor Ryoki showed up his nose and start bullying her, she cant do anything but abide by his rule. He makes her his slave and order her around as he holds his power over her (a secret-- he saw Hatsumi purchased a home pregnancy test for her little sister who's still in Junior High School). Threatened by Ryoki Tachibana promised to tell his mom--Mrs. Tachibana (who is by the way holds position like the Queen of the employee complex where they all living because her husband is a director), Hatsumi can only agree to be his slave, cause she didn't want her family get in trouble with the Tachibana family.
To complicate things, there are many other people that involve in this twisted but exciting story line.
Atsuza, Hatsumi childhood friend come into the picture and try to rescue Hatsumi from the evil Ryoki, he act so kind that Hatsumi cant help but falling in like with atsuza who also is a model. But to make matter worse, atsuza aliby in doing those stuff is because he has a plot of revenge against Hatsumis's father due to somehting that happen in the past.
While plotting to do something bad to her (try to gang up some his model friends to rape Hatsumi), Ryoki comes to the resue. It seemed that Ryoki slowly turn to be in love with Hatsumi after all. Hatsumi fell all overwhelmed with all that happening in her life and confused with the sudden change in treatment that she received from Ryoki.
So, do u think that their romace (Ryoki and Hatsumi) works out in the end?
I think you should find out for yourself cause I've spilled too much juicy information alreasy (*wink* *wink* ;) )

Summary: This is one of the best
Review: I wasn't sure about reading this at first because a couple of people were saying they wouldn't reccomend it to any1 under 16 and I am 13. So I decided I wsn't going to read it. But then, I saw it in my bookstore and had time to kill so I began reading it and I became addicted. So if you think you shouldn't read it, think again.
This book is about a girl named Hatsumi who has never went out with any1 (Which of course makes her a virgin). Then her sister, Akane, who has went out with tons of guys and is only fourteen. She doesn't get her period and so she asks Hatsumi to go out and get her a pregnancy test. So Hatsumi, embarrassed and disgusted, hurries out and get's it. She makes it through the store and bumps into Ryoki, her childhood bully. He sees the pregnancy test and asks her if she pregnant. Then with a slip of the tongue, she accidently tells him her sister is the one who could be possiblely pregnant. So she begs him not to tell his mom, who have her whole family ignored by everyone.
He's says, sure, as long she becomes his slave. So she agrees and Azusa comes, her childhood best friend and old big time crush. She begins to fall in love with Azusa and Ryoki has other plans.
I've only read 1-4 of the books and so far there hasn't been anything in the them that a thirteen year old can't read...So far...

Summary: Not exactly my cup of tea
Review: Not exactly my cup of tea. I thought, hey why not, no one I know has started this series and it looks pretty good. Well that's just what it is, a pretty good series. But I'll collect it, since I have books 1-3, It has an alright story and I like the turn around in book 3. Any NORMAL manga reading girl will probably love it, though.
Don't pass it up till you read a bit of it yourself, who knows, you'll probably love it.
A good series to pick up when you have to wait for the next volumes of your beloved, favorite series. LOL

Summary: Hot Gimmick vol. 1
Review: The main character is Hatsumi Narita. When she goes to buy her little sister Akane a pregnencey test because she believes she is pregnent, Hatsumi runs into none other than her neighbor and the guy she's loathed since the first grade, Ryoki Tachibana. He blackmails her to work for him or else he'll spread her secret. But it helps that the model Azusa has returned from his long time away since the beginning of second grade. I can't say it's one of my favorite graphic novels that I own, but it's good enough that I'd recommend it to you. You should really try it out, It gets better in the second book.

Summary: The MOST exciting volume!
Review: Volume 5 Hot Gimmick has got to be the most exciting volume!! This volume is a MUST READ!
In this volume we're getting more clues about Hatsumi's family secret when Shinogu moves out. Discover why & how bad boy Ryoki gets more & more lovable in each volume! Hatsumi could barely control her feelings around Ryoki these days but after Azusa, Hatsumi is very cautious! What's Ryoki's true intention, is he doing this to convince Hatsumi to be a slave?
Readers will be proud & be surprised by Hatsumi's action in this volume! she finally expressed herself, stand up for her feelings! That's a HUGE progress for our Hatsumi since volume 1!!
I love this volume the best because the romance from each character pair is budding! It's so entertaining to see how Hatsumi, Akane, Ryoki & the gang deal with their emotions, it's something that we all can relate to. We could also see each character's growth & maturity, how somehow they all effect each other!!
Also the drama seems to escalate within each volume leaves you wanting MORE! MORE! Hot Gimmick is deffinitely one of the BEST & most exciting shoujo!
