Yaaay! Thanks to, Hauu~Machine buying manga for me at Christmas, I don't have to review Naruto again!

So, here it is, Cherry Juice volume 1, by Haruka Fukushima (I'll get pictures up later the image uploading thing is being a 'tard at the moment).
The plot: Cherry Juice is obviously a Shojo manga, and like most Shojo manga, it centres around romance. Minami and Otome are step-siblings that do nothing but squabble. Minami is the most popular boy in school and the younger step-brother of Otome by three days. Otome is the sister who has a crush on Minami's best friend, Amane, who starts going out with her. Unfortunately, Minami gets a bit jealous and Otome is getting forced to choose between the two boys by her friends.
Bad points: Not really that many bad points, the whole siblings-in-love kinda thing creeped me out a little at first, I have to admit, but they ARE step-siblings so IIRC that isn't incest.
Good points: I like the art style, it's pretty. Anyways, there's not many romance manga that I've read where the main character is purposely selfish and has this outright flaw, so extra points for that!
Overall: I would recommend this manga to fans of Shojo romance stories, since it has the right elements there. However if you're into more action, there's not much in the way of that as it moves quite slowly. Gaah, I not very good at reviewing this type of manga!
Anyway, review over. I shall write tomorrow about the lovely stuff I buy from Manchester, hopefully something other than a bunch of Dragonball Z figures and a Dragonball this time.
