I'm a big fan of Kyousuke Motomi's artwork. This volume doesn't have a central storyline. Instead, it's made up of 5 cute short stories that center around high school life and romance. It's a nice break between long series. Plus, the artwork is amazing :)

I own this manga since I was highschool and I still keep it. I really love the stories, and enjoyed reading.

Penguin Prince, é mais uma colectânea de one-shots do mangaka Kyousuke Motomi.
Penguin Prince
Este foi muito fofo! porque o personagem masculino principal era um cromo que se mostrava confiante mas na verdade entrava em pânico quando não tinha consigo o seu amuleto. De rir!
E o relacionamento amoroso foi fácil de seguir e de gostar.
One Thousand Years love song
Este one-shot também foi engraçado, embora em certos momentos parecesse arrastar, para logo recuperar. Afinal é uma curta história e não faria sentido estender demasiado a história.
Foi engraçado descobrir este jogo japonês e as personagens eram interessantes, embora algo previsíveis.
Tea Time
Este foi o que gostei menos, não sei explicar bem porquê. Talvez fosse o típico macho mauzão que na verdade tem um segredo que o envergonharia, ou talvez fosse culpa da rapariga principal que não me cativou. Não sei, mas certamente foi o menos conseguido dos trabalhos da mangaka que eu vi.
Tea Time (part 2)
A sequela ainda conseguiu ser mais previsível que o seu antecessor o que estragou ainda mais as personagens. O drama foi desprositado e a personagem feminina tornou-se irritante. Em suma, tinha ficado melhor sem a sequela.
Searching for Four-Leaf Clover
Esta pequena história foi um pequeno mimo. Gostei muito. Simples e leve. Não fala de um amor onde tudo corre bem, mas mostra-nos, isso sim, a fragilidade das personagens e como elas se apoiam um no outro.
Uma lufada de ar fresco, que não sendo uma maravilha do manga, não deixa de ser bom de ler.

Baca ulang.. Suka ama komik ini, apalagi ama cerita Ranko dan Mukarami yang unik tapi sweet.. Ranko, cewek ini punya wajah yang super sinis dan jahat.. Padahal Ranko sebenarnya baik, dan bersahabat, tapi entahlah.. Mukanya itu selalu 'mengkhianati' dia, waktu dia mau senyum..orang malah ngeliat dia nyeringai kejam dan sinis ala penyihir.. Bahkan anak kecil aja takut sampe nangis waktu liat face nya dia.. Wado.. Kasian Ranko.. :( lucunya dia malah di rivalkan dg cowok tampan, dan super imut, Murakami. Murakami dan Ranko bakal bertanding buat lomba pidato bahasa Inggris. Wah.. Penyihir vs Pangeran nih.. Semuanya jadi aneh ketika Ranko tau rahasia terbesar dalam hidup Murakami.. :) dan mereka pun jadi deket dan jadian.. Ala komik banget..

For a collection of one shots this one wasn't bad, but I never felt this moment of utter adoration, either, so.. Pretty average, but overall enjoy- and readable.

Damn I was tricked into reading a Shojo Manga. That said, Tea Ceremony stories will make a great Makoto Shinkai film.... with humors.... and no tragedy... But it'll be good. I think.... :)

A great set of one-shots that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I always like Motomi Kyosuke's work. Though I'm not a big fan of her artwork, the stories and characters are definitely unique.
