Hoshigari Love Dollar

Overall I thought it was a fine story. Nothing amazing but entertaining.
Time: 2 Hours

Note: This manga has a completely cliched story line with all the misunderstandings and lack of communication that can hinder a growing relationship. It does have a HEA ending which is why I gave it a higher score.

The characters are typical but fun to just read about. The Hero is a genius, billionaire who after getting kicked in the face as his first introduction to the Heroine. He decides he will marry her. (This is basically the first 2 pages) From there you are taken on a silly ride of how these two people navigate their feelings and behavior. It also doesn't help that the heroine is an emotional cannon that just yells when something happens. Which then leads to her running off.

What you can expect is smutty scenes of the couple when they finally make-up. Which quite a few times.

But don't let that stop you! It really is a funny manga just know what your walking into!

I picked this one, based on the recommendations with other series that I have enjoyed. I dropped it after three chapters.

It isn't that it is *bad* as such. It just doesn't have a lot going for it.

The story line itself is cliche (which doesn't bother me in the slightest!), but it just has no *oomph* behind it - a young billionaire falls in love with the feisty heroine. the biggest problem was the characters - weak. I am sure that they may have improved, but everything was so incredibly surface. They didn't engage me at all, and I didn't care where it was going.

The art didn't help. I didn't check when this was written, but it has the feel of an 80s/early 90s type. The faces are similar to those in the Irrepressible Captain Tyler anime, for those familiar with it. This isn't a bad thing, but it certainly isn't special. Whilst I find this art not immediately appealing, if l like a story, then it doesn't stop me reading.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong here, but there is nothing exciting either. On the whole, I would say find something funner to read, if it is light romantic comedy you are after.
