Charisma Doll

Oh I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like this.

This manga has probably the least amount of drama and problems get resolved quickly because the characters actually try to communicate and be straightforward instead of causing miscommunication that you see in other shoujo mangas.


A nice short shoujo with likeable leads.

Fun and upbeat manga with a confident female protagonist and likable characters  

This is really fun! The main pairing had a great rapport - it's so refreshing for a couple in manga to just enjoy each other's company like this. It's because it's this kind of short, light-hearted story that it can get away with skipping all the usual plot contrivances and tortured miscommunications that stretch things out. The characters have their priorities straight, and when something happens, they talk to each other and sort it out. I need something like this every so often. Very enjoyable.

Also, it's kind of a weird feeling, but it's a nice change of pace to have a girl doing the ambiguously gendered pop star routine? I don't know how it's gotten to the point that crossdressing boys hiding their identities from the media became kind of rote, but them's the breaks, I guess.
