Toraware no Minoue (Manga)

Toraware no Minoue is basically a romance between the main characters who have a master-servant relationship, however the servant has a curse that makes him have an extreme impulse to do whatever his master tells him to, so that complicates the relationship.

Story: I must admit that the master-servant relationship is seen quite often, so I can't say it's completely original, however it does have a good amount of comedy inside. Sometimes, there are also some serious romance and tragedy parts, but the mangaka has done it quite well, in my opinion, to not make it all too overwhelming.

Art: I like the mangaka's style of art very much both the detailed and simple face sketches which she draws.

Characters: The characters are actually quite common.
The master, Suzuka is the a very simple character being quite independent, kind-hearted, thoughtful of others and quite simple, but bearing some tragic events before in her childhood. However, the tragedies are not concentrated too much on.
Megumi, the servant character, can be described as a good and reliable person. He is also a character who would do [almost] (I'm not sure...) anything for the one he loves -- Suzuka.

Through all the adventures they go through together, they realize their love for each other in the long awaited search for the cure for the curse.
It was quite a cliche story in a way because of the quite simple storyline, but it is a very enjoyable shoujo.
Recommended to those who want a simple romance comedy with the romance going at a steady pace and not too deep a storyline.

(P.S. I don't know why anyone hasn't reviewed this yet... But, I'm happy to be the first to give a review for it and a recommendation for it.)
