About the author

Née un 19 septembre, dans la préfecture de Shimane.

Après de nombreuses années dans le milieu du fanzinat, Nikki Asada lance profesionnellement sa carrière en 2008, avec une histoire courte intitulée Hatsukoi Cheers (dans le “Monthly Princess” d'Akita Shoten).

En 2010, elle débute sa toute première série, Bienvenue au club, toujours dans le “Monthly Princess” d'Akita Shoten. Cette série s'impose très vite auprès d'un lectorat mixte, grâce à ses personages sensibles… et surtout comiques ! Le succès est tel que Bienvenue au club totalise aujourd'hui déjà 8 volumes.

Grâce à ce premier gros succès, la mangaka se fait remarquer, et commence de nombreuses autres séries chez d'autres éditeurs : Navigatoria (dans Be Love, de Kôdansha), Yowatomo (dans PASH! De Shufutoseikatsusha) ou même Meitanteibu kono ato sugu ! (dans Young Ace de Kadokawa Shoten). Cela n'est pas tout, puisque Nikki Asada illustre également Kanagatari, un essay-manga scénarisé par la très célèbre Kana Hanazawa (doubleuse, chanteuseet actrice). Il lui arrive également assez fréquemment de signer des illsutrations pour les concerts et goodies officiels de cette dernière.

Fin mai 2014, la mangaka très prolifique, débute encore une nouvelle série : Hoshigami-kun ha doukashiteiru sera prépublié dans le magazine shôjo très ado Dessert, de Kôdansha. Cela lui fera donc 5 séries en cours !

I don’t like the “princess” and I trust her guards about as far as I can throw them... and love triangle in the making...not sure how I feel about that. 3 solid stars.

The characters are growing on me. So far the series is like a 3 star read but I was eager to read this volume and I'm eager enough to read the next that I bumped it up. Hate the fiance arc though.

4 maybe stars out of 5 was no one going to mention he was betrothed?

I think this series would make a hilarious anime, but gosh I really don’t like romantic rivals appearing!!

[Carrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The topy tursy courtship and adventure of (Prince) Hatsuyuki Ichimonjim, the endearing and (not wealthy) Koume Yoshida with the heart of gold continues in this third volume. And of course their friends and confidants. Volume three puts pressure of the building love triangle of Hatsuyuki, Koume and Tsubaki. This volume also brings more themes of experiencing your first love and how that manifests for others, societal expectations and setting your own pace in life and standing in support of those who you can friends. The love triangle is spicy enough to pick up this one for but the slowly revealing relationships of Hatsuyuki and his 'Four Lords" that act as friends and protectors is worth digging in as well. I'm so bummed that I have to wait for volume four!!! AHHHHHH!

Home wrecker?!

Just when she accepts that she might/may have feelings for Hatsuyuki, things start going downhill. Her family lost their possession and she has 3 part time jobs to keep going to her private school (I would have cut my losses and said good bye).

Not only that but Hatsuyuki has a fiancée. A very good looking princess type. Funny part is they call Koume the mistress. And we all know the mistress needs to be treated kindly lol

So much drama for Koume. I wish her luck and hope she can one day live in peace.

I salute you my friend.

Ah this was so... predictable, but I still liked it as it made me nostalgic for those similar mangas I read many years ago.

Why is there always this "another girl" in shoujo mangas??
