Haruka is a 22-year-old college senior looking for a job, she's the nerdy A-star student that has no life with professor parents (Oh! I get it, that's why...). So you'd think that Miss Logical-thinking would have been begged for by job agencies, right? Wrong. Suprisingly (I mean not really suprisingly in Manga world), no agency wants her which sucks... For her since her average-grades-friend got a job. Life's not great for our dear Haruka because her Mom says that if she doesn't get a job... She's coming back home from Tokyo and get [LE GASP!] married! [ Seriously guys, why this hate for marriage? ] Fighting for independancy, Haruka looks for ANY job advertisements to save her from her Mother's pushy wrath. And then she hits jackpot, or so she would have liked to think.

It's an astonishing read to be honest because it's Seinen and doesn't have to do with If-You-See-Kaying {self-censorship isn't bad kiddies}! Damn! This book should be in the world's seven wonders list [at number one]. Yeah, sure, there is a little tush here and a set of boobs there, but overall, this is definitely an improvement.
Storywise, I liked it. It was nicely realistic (note: I didn't use 'realistic' per se) with a touch of super-hopeful-fantasy that Mangas were MADE to infuse with their stories. It took this story from a realistic story to I-AM-cinderellaaaaaaaaaaaaa! KIDDING!! HONEST! But it did turn it into a story with a bunch of coincidences, luck and (keep dreaming) hope but still, it was kinda realistic, don't get me wrong, this story's more realistic than most stories out there so technically, it's not a diss. Technically.

The characters were either hardcore realistic or sympathetic to the cause, when it came to the realistic characters; it sends a refreshing shock of what really happens in that side of town and is great advice from the wise. However, for the there's-still-hope-for-you-yet type of characters, they were very Manga-y. But overall, a very nice plotline with good, solid characters.

The art was, unfortunately, not greatly proportional but it was kinda realistic. With some details here and there. I enjoyed this Manga especially for it's hints of realism because it's an elusive type of Manga that through the sugar coating, life really does stink on that side of the railroads. Why is it still so elusive? Because you don't feel like a stinker when you read it, it was written in a way that you won't feel guilty for encouraging people to do such things (this maybe considered a semi-guilt trip right here) but as people, we really do have to think of our actions because for every action there is a consequence. And for every celebrity, there is a horde of wannabes.

Chew it over, for yourself as well as (for me, nah!) for the people that surround you and the people who don't (what? You don't care for Palestine?).

I would recommend this Manga for (ahem) readers who have some tolerance for (perverted) Sienen scenes and for leap-first-think-later kinda people. Joy for all that read it, lessons that SHOULD have been learnt for those who don't. And well, you never know if something like this hits you in real life.
You really never know.
