::STORY::
Another Summer Knights is an entertaining mini collection of one shots. The title story, a two-shot, involving a girl helping out at her aunt's maid cafe was the best. There isn't any character development or official love confession, but the humor really shines. It got at least a laugh from me and one good scare too. I could have read another chapter of that story. I did realize that the mangaka never completely explained why Kennosuke ignored Natsu. He could have sent a text, you know!

The second one shot was a bit dry and I was in the land of NOPE throughout because bad ... boys don't know how to keep their hands to themselves for some reason. Their love may have been a little forced too.

The last one shot is about a birthday party gone wrong, a food cafe, and a shortcake competition. It was a real contender for my favorite one shot.

::ART::
I liked the art except for the elongated bodies and thick necks. Personally, I don't like beefy necks. The eyes were cute but a bit blurry at times. You could argue that all the megane boys look similar and you wouldn't be lying.

::ROMANCE::
It's really physical in this manga, but there's at least one cute moment to sastisfy your shoujo feels. Maybe it's because this manga didn't have to wait for a hundred chapters to get to the good stuff.

::CHARACTERS::
Eh, all of the girls fit the basic shoujo mold so no praise there. Still, none of them are dislikeable either.
Kennosuke was my favorite, and not to mention he was a good guy that got the girl... Over the bad boy!

::OVERALL::
Entertaining and funny. A good short read! However, I gotta take minor points off for boys with too grabby hands... Which is basically a given in shoujo. Anyway, go experience this for yourself!

I will leave you with this defining quote:
"No, cakes are my only lover."- Miyake Kazuka

I accidentally started on the last chapter (thank heavens it was a one-shot). For the first bit, I genuinely thought the girl was a cross-dressing guy and I think they had to specify she was a girl before I was sure. The one-shot was cute enough, though they got a little frisky for a shoujo.

The two-shot had a lot of dead potential. I really liked the lead male. The lead female . . . existed. The idea of the plot was really good. Get rid of the pervy ghost and it might've been good. As it was, I had a kind of disappointed "Ehhhh" feeling ... while reading it, which is probably why I dropped it after the first chapter, despite how short it was.

Warming: There may have been a near-rape scene with the ghost (which is gross AND weird). I don't know because I "hard nope"d it and skipped a couple pages.
