So... I can't figure out exactly why I'm addicted to this little manga. There are at least 3 other mangas that have this exact same set up (girl is cute virgin student by day, expert erotica writer by night!)

So why am I giving this story a "10" overall? It's simply the best of it's /kind/. If you are ever going to try a smutty, simple, predictable plot shoujo based girl meets boy, boy secretly likes girl, misunderstandings and cute moments abound, few decoy characters thrown in, but eventually they get together in the chapter everyone has been waiting for... Well, this story is simply the best at this stereotype.

Maybe it's because the storyline is just... nice. The plot MOVES. When subplots are brought in, they are given some space, and then resolved and it furthers the plot, not holds it back just to expand the series length and aggravate the readers. The manga remembers why you are reading it in the first place and keeps to that story, which is honestly really refreshing.

Or maybe it's because the characters are stereotyped yet in so many ways realistic enough that you can't help but fall into the story and want to actually READ what you predict will happen. The lead girl is doing what she is doing to help out her little brother, to keep her mother calm while she recovers in the hospital. All around, she is a very selfless character... A "tough" female heroine? Not quite, but as close as we might ever see in this genre.

I've only read 5 chapters scanlated, and read ahead on a few of the raws, but this story seems to be staying true to it's beginning= a good, fun, romantic comedy. Did I mention that this manga hits the "comedy" part SO much better than the others in it's genre as well. Momoko will be in a situation that would be dull and boring in so many similar mangas, but in this one, she'll start to imagine how the scene could be used in the plot for her next novel, and the following panels play out the imagery in her head.

The art is good... the lead male is all you would expect from a shoujo, but I give kudos to the author for presenting a female lead that is NOT exceptionally cute... just average and pretty on occasion. But overall, the art isn't what you will keep reading this for.

If you are looking for an enjoyable, light, smutty, short(ish) read, this is a great series to give a chance. :-D

This is a pretty cute story. It is simple and fun. I think the overall concept of a Virgin High school student writing popular erotica novels in secret makes for a pretty interesting story.

The characters are pretty typical for the most part. The most unique aspect is what the girl does in secret but overall she follows a pretty typical female shouja character of being the shy , virgin high school girl that meets the handsome and popular standoff male lead. The guy is also pretty typical in being the misunderstood hot "bad boy" who gradually falls for the female but even though they do follow traditional characters, the story is still a fun read.

Overall i think this manga is for peple who want a pretty simple and fun romance story. It is not boring so if you are looking for something easy going and kawaii, this will do it.
