I'll give you a glimpse. The protagonist, a girl who firmly believes that she should follow a straight path to a stable career, is scouted by a handsome music producer. Ooooh, what will happen next? What a surprise... EVERYONE knows what happens next. Despite how cute the whole situation may seem, the story is quite heavily laced with cliches. Love triangles abound, musical talent is guided by feelings, past relationships come back to light, etc. The brevity of the manga made me thankful because I was starting to roll my eyes over how sappy the love was.
The characters were no help to the story, either. Saya is the typical heroine who lets herself be taken in by love from a dude she barely knows, and though she's friendly, her emotions can really get in the way of things. The only good aspect of that is that she can channel her feelings into her singing. That is really something considering the way feelings usually affect people's performances.
The men of interest were the standard bishounen. They were fine, but nothing so special, and all had weaknesses that weren't so unique. While they were attractive, two of them looked just like each other except for differing hair color. (I really hate that.)
I suppose the saving grace of the manga was the art. While big-eyed girls and good-looking dudes are not at all particularly original for shoujo, the artwork did fit the tone of the story. I think the mangaka's eye for clothing wasn't too bad, though I can't say much else about the rest.
Another fatal flaw was the mangaka's total dismissal of a problem which was never resolved. I suppose in the epilogue it seemed as if it was done and over with or forgotten, but that dissatisfied me seeing that it seemed to be an important issue before. Otherwise, the story went on and that was that.
So, should you read this? Only if you're into some super fluffy shoujo.
