= Story =
- These stories are ones I tend to read for the sake of curiosity. Sumi decides to marry Souichiro b/c she needs money to support her brother and younger siblings. He agrees due to the fact that he needed to marry someone before a certain deadline to get the presidency to his grandfather's (I think) company. So Sumi is learning how to act ladylike b/c she's pretending to be some aristocrat from another part of Japan. She marries Souichiro even though she fell in love with Nozomu. But it's quite obvious she ends up falling for Souichiro after a series of events. That's basically it. It's a simple, yet enticing plot that males you want to finish the manga regardless of whether or not you like it. So yeah, very basic plot with great suspense. Perfect for 56 or so chapters. -

= Art =
- As for any of my reviews, art always gets a 10 b/c we probably can't draw better and most of us probably wouldn't be reading a manga where the art is so bad you can't identify who is who. -

= Characters =
- I honestly don't care much for the characters. I'm not as... sympathetic/empathetic towards them as I had hoped. Sumi is one of the characters that just dead weight and is easily manipulated by others. She has obvious good intentions unlike other female heroines, but she's so... gullible to the point where I literally yell at the scream asking why she's so ignorant and naive. Souichiro is also quite gullible. He's arrogant and naive. There's not really much you can say about it. Nozomu... the only thing I can about him (without spoiling anything) is that he becomes... mentally unstable. Not psychotic in that sense, but just... unstable. -

= Enjoyment/Overall =
- Again, not a fan of the characters per say, but the plot is fairly enticing. So overall enjoyment of the series would be a 7. And yes, this is a manga I would recommend to Shoujo readers. -
