Otona No Shoumei
4 stories - 1) see summary 2) When the Prince of the school asked if she wanted to come to his house and study she wondered if he might have ulterior your motives. He did, but they were not what she expected. 3) All he wants to do is tease her; all she wants is a little romance with her prince. Are her expectations driving drive them apart? 4) She has been giving her 1 year younger childhood friend 'honmei' chocolate for years, but he always takes it for 'giri'. This year she intend to make her confession clear, but when he catches her with the chocolate and asks if she is going to continue her 'childish' tradition this year, she decides she might be better off setting her sights a year higher. These all turned out to be pretty light hearted and sweet, but each had a serious message to share about respect and love if you want to read that deep.

Gokujou Koibana: Perfect Love Stories Best 5
Oh my goodness, I think I just found a creature so rare that it was thought mythical... A guy who not only loved his girl, but, by virtue of that love, has enough control to say I am stronger than my instincts. And to this degree... In don't think I've seen the like before. Just when I thought manga didn't even understand the concept. If you are reading to see sex, you are going to be disappointed. But if you want to see a guy who cherishes his girl so much he will make himself wait until the proper time, read on.

Not quite sure how to explain... Drawing good, story decent, satisfaction... lacking. It think it is because it felt like the story was given second place to trying to find ways to draw over endowed naked bodies to the point it felt superficial.

5 stories - some good, some not.

6 chaps - it's not bad, just not anything that jumped out at me.

Stars awarded for specific stories! The only decent story here was the 4th and l liked that one. The 5th wasn't altogether bad (although the coral was unbelievably forgiving), but the rest... Whether acting on hormones, rape or a player, each takes something that should have been disfavorable and wants to make it something that should be accepted... Or at least tolerated. No thank you. If it shouldn't be acceptable in real life, it shouldn't be acceptable in fiction.

2 chaps - Guilt is such a powerful motivator, especially when applied to a child. A tragic story with a bittersweet end.
