SynopsisAfter being dumped, followed closely by her grandmother's sudden death, the chubby Yuri is left broke and homeless. That is until she discovers that her grandmother had been lying to her for years. Her mother is not dead, but is in fact a famous movie star, and very much alive.
Upon arriving at her mother's house, she meets her three new beautiful siblings, all from different fathers. Her newfound family is filled with hilarious oddities, ranging from laziness to drunkennes to gay incest. She is constantly antagonized by her brothers Sumire and Aoi. And her sister Fuyou does little to help. And thus Yuri becomes little more than a maid in the household, catering to her siblings needs while her mother travels the world. But as Yuri's warmth fills the house which before had been so cold...what will happen between her and her brothers? Can they come to see each other as siblings before it's too late?

This is a more age friendly manga, but it definitely has some similar themes! The main character is a selfless kind girl who isn't afraid to work. And she lives in a house with "siblings" just like Yuri! There are many different personalities. Also a conflict of love! It has a similar feel with the mix between comedy and drama. They are both cute stories!

Nov 16, 20082 of ? chapters read 2 of 5 people found this review helpful I really love this manga. I think the story is very interesting and the characters are very realistic and have depth. The main character, Yuri, is very sweet and lovable. I can really relate to her problems like feeling self conscious, etc. I think most women can! There is a good balance between tragedy and comedy and it's also got some mystery.
The art is very pretty but at times it seems a little bit rushed (understandable though because it's so detailed!). But otherwise, it's ...absolutely perfect! In my opinion, anyway. ^_~
If you enjoy romance, comedy, drama, Shoujou, or Josei, this manga will probably appeal to you. Also, if you like the manga, there is a live-action Taiwanese TV series based on it called The Rose. You can see clips of it on Youtube. read more
