My Thoughts:
This manga reminds me of being at Tokyo Disney where the young people come to be seen and the young males look a little more androgynous, going for the tall, slim look, clean shaven, longer bleached hair. In this initial manga of a new series, the protagonist, Yuuki is in college in Tokyo looking for her "MRS" (rather than looking for a career). This first volume sets up the love triangle, with a bad boy and a complicated childhood crush.
Readers who like the Shoujo manga (those stories made specifically for YA and tween girls) will enjoy this series. Although most of the Shoujo manga take place in high school, this college one with a 20 year old protagonist may appeal to older YA audiences (females). Perhaps males will read this, but the target audience is really the young female. While this series has all the tropes of a shoujo manga, the potential of this series to stand out comes in the form of Seno, Yuuki's childhood crush. He is worth following in the next volume of this series.
From the Publisher:
Yuuki is a 20-year-old college sophomore who has wished for one thing since moving to Tokyo: to find her soulmate. Growing a bit desperate after a long drought, she goes along with a friend to a club for the first time. Her friend thrives, but it's chaotic and loud...just not Yuuki's scene. Just when Yuuki begins to despair that she'll ever find a real, adult relationship, she meets Iori, a man with bleached hair and a slightly scary demeanor...but first impressions don't always tell the whole story. Could destiny still have more cards to play?
