Sheet no Sukima (Manga)

Okay, so I'm pretty new to this genre and find that rating these manga is a bit difficult since I'm not so familiar with them. Many other reviews that I've read have given me some help in pointing out things like certain standards and generalizations which have helped me, a little. That being said please understand the the rating I gave is an inexperienced 5 and this series has somehow managed an average of 7 point something.

Much of this series is guy helps girl, they fall in "love"

This is a series of one shots that are not connected to each other. I like he first of the series the best, Sheherazade. Although, I did get confused for a minute due to the redundancy of the 3 o'clock deadline for the secretary. Sometimes I couldn't tell if it was going in a forward timeline or a day dream. I thought the story and character development fit the idea of a one-shot more so than the others.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sex scenes but I think that not censoring them, I don't really know how to explain it-I'm not talking very graphic hentai like sex scenes or blurs or bars, but I think a little more detail would have contributed to making the scene more hot.

The guys are good looking but look like similar in some of the stories. Not that I'm complaining about that really.

There were some amusing scenes and good ideas and plots, but I would have given it a higher rating if some of the stories were longer stories, expanded on either with background information or more time to develop the characters and make it feel like it is a thorough and complete one shot rather than the middle of a story. read more

This is my first review ever, so I'm trying my best.
The first one-shot, Sheherazade, was by far my favorite out of all of them. It's predictable almost all the way through, but the storyline itself was really cute/sweet.
Sheet no Sukima (Between the Sheets) was also really well written, again it was predictable, but the characters had interesting chemistry, and their relationship and situation, to me, was different then the other one-shots I'v read, so I really enjoyed that. The setup for the story was also new for me.
Yoru no Bannin (Night Guard): I'm not really sure where this was going, or how it even started out. The story was enjoyable for me, don't get me wrong, but there was something missing for me in it.
Blanc: In my opinion, this was kind of... strange. I have never read something like this... I don't know if this counts as in the norm. It was short, and the story was just kind of there. They did little flashbacks, but not a lot of detail on their situation.
Kizuato: In some weird way this was cute... or had the potential to be if it wasn't so.. different. I didn't really like this one just because of the fact that it was so disturbing. Her reasons were ridiculous, and the fact that *SPOILER* she couldn't even recognize her husband even though all he had was a scar on his back? Really?
Izayoi (16-Day-Old Moon): This made no sense to me what-so-ever. The characters and their relationships were so out there for me.. I didn't know who was who, and it gave me a headache trying to figure it out.

I gave it such a high rating- for its quality- because the first few stories were that good for me. Th art throughout was really good, and for being one-shots the storyline(s) flowed pretty well. read more
