Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not what I expected at all.
Review: I bought the first three books in this series based on a good review on another website. Being of fan of such manga favorites such as "Ranma 1/2", "Oh my Goddess!" etc, I thought it would be along those lines. However, it turned out having very little in common with them at all. For one thing, there is much much more fan service. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude, and I don't mind nudety if the plot, or a joke or something calls for it. But this seemed more like it was a boring part in the manga, so they made one of the characters in their underwear to help keep you "interested". Or they needed to fill short a chapter, so they added a game of strip mahjongg. The thing is, nudety, in my opinion, is fine, as long as the rest of the book is good too. But it just came off too cliche for it. The characters were, for the most part, shallow steriotypes. The exeption perhaps being Maico herself, who was still a steriotype, but was still a little cute inspite of it all. To sum it up, the over-all feeling I got from this manga was poor-man's(or under aged man's, perhaps?) hentai, complete with tentical-monster attack.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another installment in the Maico series
Review: Rie is not as charismatic as Maico is, so I didn't like her much. She is not as fleshed out as some of the other characters. She IS lovely, don't get me wrong. She just didn't do anything to catch my interest.

Other than that minor complaint this was a good book.
