review 1: Yuzu is one of the gutsiest girls in manga. I loved her from the moment I found out she was determined to take care of herself by living in a playground after her mother's death. Dragged away from her delusion that a slide was better than a shower by a slighty older, emotionally withdrawn megane, Yuzu found herself thrown into the shark-infested world of high society. Her grandmother is a filthy rich corporate mogul and wants to see her feisty, clutzy, mannerless grandchild become the same. The only thing that Yuzu has to help her survive this crazy turn of events is her mother's hilarious rules of survival, and the cold-hearted megane who dragged her into this situation in the first place.
review 2: This is unlike most shoujo available. The heroine is a high
... more school student who discovers that she is heir to a really powerful company and her grandmother expects her to marry someone significant, etc. The crazy part in this, is Yuzu is actually pretty interesting and hardworking and she falls in love with her grandmother's boytoy, aka. Kagami, Yuzu's bodyguard. COnfusing, yea, its a little off the normal track, but entertaining because it is a novel concept.The art is mediocre, which is unfortunate because its neatly done, but some positions just look off. The story is slow, but its still intriguing.For those who have read Tenshi Ja Nai!, this is not as good, but it satisfies the shoujo/josei cravings. less

3.5.It feels familiar. Which means nothing has really stood out yet.
