Genre: manga/graphic novel, shoujo, romance, school life, gender bender
Summary:
Ever since she was little, Rinna wanted to be a team cheer
captain like her father, the greatest, fiercest captain of the Shoryu Senior High cheer squad. She finally gets her chance when the
all-boy school goes co-ed but the current team captain won’t let girls join. What will Rinna to do? Why challenge him of course! Thus the beginning of a story about
friendship, romance, and lots of school spirit.
Pros
The artwork in this series is clean and well-rendered
which is great since it let’s you get to the heart of the story. I really
appreciate that despite some
typical plot twists you don’t really know who Rinna ends with up until near the
story end. The story is nicely
paced with solid characters. This 2 volume series is complete so no waiting
years and years for it to develop.
Cons – It’s only 2 volumes long! lol I have to admit wanting more is not usually a con but
the story read quickly leaving a somewhat shallow feeling at times due to the size. I ended the series craving more. Luckily, I can also recommend Oyayubihime
Infinity by the same mangaka. The other issue I had is the price. In comparison, $42 for 5 volumes (nearly 1000
pages) worth is a bargain but ouch!
