Mixed Feelings
Despite Shoujo being filled with alot of things I tend to hate - overtly-dependent heroines for one - I still seem to always come back to it, hoping for a change.
I definitely thought I found that in Happy Hustle High with the impractical tomboy character, Hanabi, but alas, I was wrong.

The art is wonderfully drawn and when they say bishounens, they mean bishounens. The story was okay, not too extraordinary, but a fun, and well-executed for the theme and setting, read. I enjoyed it quite alot until the very last volume, where Hanabi completely threw away her reserved tomboyish self and became a Yasu fangirl all the same. Obviously, she does this over the whole series but she just completely became one of those dependent heroines I dislike so very much near the end.

Overall, I liked this manga, it kept me interested with its fun little spin on experiences and Hanabi not pouncing/stalking/latching onto Yasu was a refreshing change. And she had her flaws - the hair one I liked alot more than those heroines who say 'I have no self-confidence' or something of that effect when they seem to want attention to be thrown at them.

Its not a bad series but its not an amazing series. I've got incredibly low tolerance for over-exaggerations and people being too clingy and/or expecting to be protected 24/7 so shoujo heroines do easily annoy me.
