Please discuss the featured one-shot here.


Did you enjoy it? Was it too short for your taste? What did you think of the characters or story line? Hope that it becomes more than a one-shot? Anything like this happen to you? Etc. Have fun with it (:

I loved the character design and the art. The story behind it is a little silly in my opinion because personally I don't understand what your appearance has to do with what you like, but I guess high school girls can be judgemental.

The romance was quite nice, but I think the part in the classroom where Haruka is introducing herself and then jumps into confession mode seems a little out of place.

The rest of it was good.

I think most of the one-shots were a lil silly. My favorite was Evening Rain Feeling. That is an issue that can come up in a relationship and I thought it was adorable

I really enjoyed this one. Out of the stories I've read by this mangaka, this one is my favorite.

I can understand the problem where your looks and your personality don't match, eventually you just start acting the way people expect you to.
As sappy as it was, I loved it when Haruka was able to spot Keiko out of the crowd, and with the answer to how, "I can tell. You look at me with such kind eyes." *Sigh*...I'm a bit of a sucker for that kind of stuff >.>.

I just got through reading all 7 and I really liked the snowflakes falling from a clear blue sky. however on this one here I can see the way people judge from the way a person looks, which is not how it should be, which I believe is the point the author was trying to make; Or at least one of the points. It was well written and well designed even down to the side characters that got on the main girls nerves. I look forward to the next one.

For me it was too predictable, of course i love this kind stories. This manga doesn't have this feeling which gives you joy when you read it. Still nice :D

Present (One Shot/51 Pages)

I came to the realization that I'm an avid Yuri fanboy at heart and wanted to ease my way into the genre with a bit of light reading, thus I found a One Shot simply titled Present. Apparently this was written by Uso Kurata and from my understanding she's done quite a few Yuri themed One Shot's that have gained her some level of notoriety.

Present was a very decent read, It was a cute short story about how a true love can see past your appearance and appreciate inner beauty. The art was very well done, especially the background work in contrast to the surrounding environment, in my opinion this was vastly superior to Yuri manga currently being serialized. After reading Present I'm now hoping Uso Kurata can perhaps get a long running Yuri title serialized, I'd really enjoy that and would actually follow her releases.

This One Shot was pretty laid back and was a fairly easy read, nothing felt out of place really. My only quarry would have to be that it ended so quickly, I'm wholeheartedly awaiting more from Uso and hopefully she can deliver something promising in the future.

Ah, I remember reading this a while ago. It was really a nice story in my opinion, and it kept me interested throughout the whole thing, despite it being a tad predictable. I still enjoyed experiencing the character's emotions that much, though.

I really liked the art; very cute and beautiful. Simple story, and not too unrealistic. All this with appearance annoys me, but I understand why they put that sort of things in a manga set in a high school, becuse most girls that age really do care about it. As most people have already pointed out, it was predictable, but still a nice read. I really liked the ending, when Haruka was able to pick out Keiko from the crowd because she looked at her with "such kind eyes". I guess I'm a big sucker for lines like that. ^O^"

This was a very cute one-shot. I have a soft spot for tough looking characters doing cute things, and when the tough girl shows the girls in class the potpourri she made it was soooo cute! I'm kinda tall and feel like my interests don't reflect what I look like, so I could really relate which made it all the more enjoyable.

A bit late to talk about it, but hey!

This mangaka is really one of the more promising ones to be putting out stories for the Yuri Hime line. Present is just really cool. I like the fact that the girl looks like a yankee and yet she's kind and caring and considerate.

But I suppose it ties in to a grander theme of not wanting the people we love to see who we truly are in fear of losing them. And a nicer theme that, if that person really cares for you, they can see you for who you are and love you anyway.
