Product Description
Product Description
Yoshitaka Kogirei is not very successful with girls, which wears him out a lot. His new classmate, Yagate, on the contrary, seems to attract the ladies just with ease. Frustrated to no end, Yoshitaka asks Yagate for his recipe for success - and the master agrees to give him a few tips! When Yoshitaka learns that Yagate is a judge in the school's upcoming Beauty Contest, his new friend proposes that Yoshitaka should join him by standing in for a sick member of the judging committee. But when his dream girl steps the stage, Yoshitaka can no longer keep his macho temperament in check - and everything goes downhill from there!

Good one-shot work
17 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a one-shot work.
The plot is somewhat prediciatable and there is plently of panty shot fan service. That said it is stil quite funny and entertaining to read. The main character is a hopeless male who desires a girlfriend. His biggest problem is that act like an idiot and uses bad pick up lines. That and he is a complete hormone driven teenager. He eventually picks up a side kick who is a "ladies man" that helps him out.
While this seems very blah the problems that the main character encounters are very funny and his stupidity only makes the situation more funny. The work also ends on a predicable note for the main character. However, for the side characters the work ends in a surprisingly unexpected manner - especially for a comedy-romance.
The art is very clean and modern. The text bubbles can be confusing for moments but are easy to discern.
This work has a rather interesting background. It is a manhwa or Korean comic. The author herself, despite the name, is from South Korea. However, it must have been published in Germany first at one point. All of the text and sound effect are written in German, but side notes translate the text into English. I'm not sure why the work wasn't just switch over to English entirely. It was actually odd and funny to look at.
Overall, not bad for a one-shot work. If you're looking for something cute and funny without an amazing (but good) plot then check this out.
Edit: As of 8/18/08 I discovered that this work does have a sequel called Y Square Plus due out on 12/15/08. So I guess it is no longer a one shot - but if you don't want the follow-up work this vol does finish the story.
