I was recommended to read this as I’m a Skip Beat! fan and this manga also focuses on becoming a star, proving oneself and mingling with romance. But Honey Hunt also has its own unique charming points without the need of demons!

This manga is one of my favourites out there. Although the story at first glance is about a girl and 2 guys and the entertainment world there are many other deeper aspects involved which can appeal to a wider audience than the typical romantics. Yura is a normal girl born from superstar parents but her life is anything but amazing as people think. ... As she enters the entertainment world we get to witness her journey and emotions she goes through, from trivial matters of being nervous in public speaking, dealing with parental pressures, expectations of people, how much can you actually trust someone?, can deception be justified? to developing first crushes but told to distance yourself- ah! So many things, all just to become a superstar!

Each main character is well developed in what they are there for and help Yuri learn and grow as an artist. However, what a character will say and do seems to be a surprising element in the manga as everything isn’t as it seems or as Yura thinks it is- helping in the suspense for us readers as even we don’t know everyone’s true thoughts and intentions- it all quite questionable really!

The entertainment business is tricky affair with many people involved. It is definitely an enjoyable manga to read.

So far I've only read up to ch 16 and honestly, it's annoying. It's the typical shoujo of 3 hot bishies going after the stupid heroine that only thinks "what should I do?".
Some people say that Yura acts that way because she's in her teens and has no self-confidence, so of course she would be confused..Well, I've never ever met a teenager like that. They might do or say stupid things, I agree with that, but there's a limit to how much of an idiot you can be.
As for the story and art..Story is waaay far from being original, while art is ok..not my favorite ... art though, but still somewhat enjoyable.
All this being said, I still won't drop the manga..I'll wait until the end of volume 4 in hopes that it will get better somehow..I might be editing this review once I get there to give a better opinion on the series.

This is an annoying story. I can't stand the main characters, very cliche, very unrealistic. Not that I really mind unrealistic stories... but the story seems like it's supposed to be a slice-of-life type, but it's really too far fetched. The plot really doesn't seem to go anywhere.

I stopped reading this story for now. I might go back to it when in a couple months when more has been scanlated. I hope it gets better, it seemed like it had potential at first. For now it's too much of a chore to read.
