Review:
Going into this, I
was a little worried it would be really similar to Dengeki Daisy, given the description. But I’m surprised to say
that, even with the similarities, it’s quite different. And even more fun than I expected.
Fumi has just
transferred to a new school, after being thrown out all on her own. And somehow
she stumbles upon the supernatural cleaning service that Kyutaro and the
headmaster run.
Fumi is determined
to find a rich prince charming, much like Cinderella. Even with that, though,
she doesn’t intend to get in the way of true love, much like a potential suitor
is already experiencing, and like what she thinks Kyutaro is stuck on. As soon
as she sees that, she moves right along to a new possibility. I like how honest
and kind this makes her, and I also like how trusting and close she grows to
Kyutaro so quickly, even while not thinking of him as a romantic interest.
The plot seems to
be growing thicker at the end of the volume, and I’m excited for more. I like
the world she’s stumbled upon, what Kyutaro does and how determined she is to
learn and help. The supernatural element is interesting, something I haven’t
seen before in this way. I like that.
I do think that
Motomi has gotten better, too. Her characterizing is better, and the humor is
used in a more thoughtful way, but still exaggerated like in her other series.
But there was also a lot of really thoughtful moments and clear scenes. I’m
impressed.
This volume was
more fun than I expected, and I can’t wait for the next one.
