Beware of the Beast Part 5

This is such a subtle manga and it yields an equally subtle ending (which I loved, it was exactly what I wanted from this series). I'm trying to find a good angle to explain this series, and all I can say is that it is subtle. Main character, Eimi, is erratic and clueless. Wanibuchi is closed off and guarded, but in an open way. It's hard to describe it, but it's an interesting read. That said, I am glad it is only 5 volumes. I couldn't imagine keeping this pretense up for more time than that.

Enjoyable Manga

I enjoyed reading this manga. It is only five volumes. Realistic story of a girl who is unwavering in her love. Cute and funny!
