Customer Reviews

Cinderella never looked so good

Wann's drawings are stunning, and she weaves a terrifically fun and complicated plot dealing with relationship drama, the inherent issues present between a well-to-do man (a King, really) who sweeps the artsy, small-town girl off her feet, political turmoil, and lots more! Our heroine is certainly 100% beautiful, as are all the men and women in this story, which makes this a title that's pleasing to the heart and to the eye. I'm up through the latest volume, and it just keeps getting better and better! I'm so happy I found this shojo :-)

Absolute

I absolutely loved this story. Like they say it's a modern day Cinderella story only a little more mature.

Wow!

This manga was a lot better than I expected, I looked over the first few pages at the store and decided to give it a shot since I'm a huge shojo and romance fan. The flow of the entire book is perfect. I must say the author did an excellent job of making this book captivating but not cheesy, and the art is fantastic! Other reviews here have gone into great detail about what the book is about, so I'm not going to bother- but I'm basically writing out my opinion of my feelings towards this book in order to encourage whoever is reading this review may buy it. :) I really am hoping number 2 is as great!

Beautiful Art!

I'm new to this author's work and I found her artwork to be very beautiful. I love the close ups on the characters in volume one. **Warning: May contain spoilers (though I tried hard not to put them)** 100% Perfect Girl is a modern day Cinderella story. Jay is a girl about to go to high school who loves art, yet her mother only cares about Jay's brother, a medical school student who wish is her command. Jay is definately stepped on numerous times in this volume by jealous exes, her mother, and brother, but she's not the weak character one might think she is, which was surprisingly refreshing. Prince J., actually King J., is a young man who rules the country Rionne. He, as well as everyone in his country, is incredibly smart. He, however, has never experienced love and his clumsyness is just too cute. He gets carried away once, and Jay lets him have it, which just makes her more attractive to him. He's used to people treating him in a "royal" way, but Jay treats him like any other guy, even after she finds out who he is. If you loved Cinderella as a kid, or if you just like Shojo manga you should check this story out. I guarantee true lovers of romance will be hooked after the first volume, and volume two is due out in June (only a couple weeks away) so you won't have to wait long for it. Happy Reading!

perfect

Love it...the art is so fluid and fantastic...compositions are amazing and the style is so quirky...it's realistic and unique...I really recommend this for maybe reasons but mostly for it's shear originality.
