Whoa, you read a ton of manga for this update!! How nice~
I got the first three volumes of Full House from CPM too... (RightStuf was out of v4 when I ordered, though when I finally got around to reading the 3, and then read Connie's reviews at Slightly Biased Manga, I didn't really feel compelled to seek out the fourth) But seriously, reading it just made me mad because Elle/Alley is way too disagreeable. Maybe once NetComics gets farther along and someone can tell me Elle's stopped being a brat, I'll try it again, but for now I'll just stick with things that make me happy. Also, I don't remember if I had a problem with her using "Daddy" (I think they were going for british-english, maybe? isn't it set in london or something?) but the language in general was way... overblown and ridiculous sounding. I couldn't take it seriously, and I wasn't sure if it was written that way on purpose or if the translator just spent way too much time with their thesaurus.
You wrote "I'm curious about" in the Oyayubihime review, but you didn't finish the sentence. I really hope you like the series! (also worth noting-when I first picked up the series, I got volumes 1 and 2 together. by the time I finished them both, I was completely hooked :D I don't know if your experience will be the same, but...)
"But seriously, reading it just made me mad because Elle/Alley is way too disagreeable." Right? She flew off the handle at tiny little things. I also think the setting is a bit unbelievable. Sure he damaged her script but that doesn't mean that he should compensate that with the house.
" Also, I don't remember if I had a problem with her using "Daddy"." It was nitpicking of my part :)
"You wrote "I'm curious about" " heh, I meant to say "I'm curious about Miyake" but forgot his name and was too lazy to look it up :) - I wonder why he went along with Yoshizawa who by the way seems to me like a tornado! I edited the post to add it now. I think I'll check out the preview on cmx and vol 2 to have a better feel of the series.
Yoshizawa is Tsubame, right? I think so, but I remember him more by his given name. Yeah, tornado-like is one way to describe him... :D I think the story gets into more detail about the friendship between those two, so if you keep reading you won't have to be curious! And I agree that Tsubame is an unusual male character for shoujo manga-off the top of my head, Maki from IHY♥ and Tamaki from Ouran are the only others I can think of who aren't afraid to cry. (Maybe Leo from Beast Master too?) And they're all characters I'd consider some of my favourites from manga... What does that say about me??
"... NetComics gets farther along and someone can tell me Elle's stopped being a brat, I'll try it again" Me, too. It's hard to believe she's going to keep up being like this the whole series. "Lather, rinse, repeat" can only take the series so far!
