Kakene Nashi no LOVE Torihiki review

Why is the story a 5 while it's overall a 3? Because finally we have a shoujo who is street smart about being an escort for profit, lives independantly but is secure, and doesn't just melt into an unexpected kiss/grope just because the hero is the one who delivered it.

We meet Ami who spends her time escorting young boys to movies, confessing to them, providing company, anything which doesn't sound illegal, but can make a quick buck. She's propositioned by a rich boy to help stave off a marriage interview and quickly he becomes enamoured with her fiesty personality.

BUT the artwork makes me weep, it moved me so little. The characters despite being developed lacked true depth and seemed hackneyed somehow. You don't know how suddenly from the first meeting you shift to confessing eternal love to college acceptances... It was a funny three chapter read which was funny only in parts where the heroine imitates the rich parents of Ruka. Other than that, reactions dont make you laugh, or the rare appearance of chibi form. Dialogues are nothing novel, nor the staid parents who dont want anything to do with an unprestigious girl. You're better off skipping this one.

As for Story 2, it was an outright outrage! You know a Prince's fan club will bully the girl who the Prince seems to hang around, but that the prince was actually looking for Miss Nobody's chocolates from amongst the hundred others he received the previous Valentine and then not ask her out even one year later... where is the credibility in any of this?! This story is one serious pain and you'll be wise to not read it, as the artwork was nothing to write home about and hardly any moe scenes occur.

Story 3 is interesting in that it's not shoujo exactly but a sort of Public Service Manga. We're introduced to a perfectly normal girl who somehow ends up getting date raped and then suffers at the hands of the police who question her motives and revealing clothes when she reports this offence. It delves into the accusations she makes to herself and society and how she deals. I laud the effort as well as the implementation.
