Preliminary (Unknown/60 chp)
I read Hana to Akuma because many people seemed to think it was a good series. I don't even remember how many chapters I read, only that every chapter seemed to be as cliched as the other and dreadful to read...

Story: (5)
The story was one that has been over-used and already torn down to pieces. It's rather slow and filled with clichés. It seemed to me like the manga-ka just sew elements from different Shoujo series and turned into this series. Nothing about it is original at all, nor does it have any interesting twists.

Art: (7)
I'd call this the saving point of the series. The art is above average and was really pleasing to the eye. Each character design is different and very good; not once did I mistake a character for another. Backgrounds were rather nice, simple but kept the attention mostly on the character which is what I'm pretty sure the manga-ka wanted.

Character: (4)
One stereotype after another is what I felt as I looked at the characters on each panel. The main character, or "flower" of the series, is your typical childish girl for her age with overly exaggrated innoccense. We have the kind servants who adore the little girl, dot over her constantly, and are given no development at all. Then we have our male lead, which is also a very typical man for a shoujo series, with his attempts at being stoic but in fact he gushes over the girl every second. None of the characters are given much development, and this greatly disappoints me since this is a series that would actually be very good if it did.

Enjoyment: (3):
I had to force myself to read every chapter I did read, since I was hoping this would get better. I could only read so far before my patience ran out. This series is now put on my "dropped list" and will continue to be so.

Overall: (4)
I don't know what people see in this series, because I can hardly handle reading this. But if you like a series that has stereotypical character, corny romance, and good art this is something I recommend for you. I, for one, did not enjoy this manga and will now proceed to avoid it like a plague...
