Fukuyama Ryoko
To decide what to do with the watch of Fukumenkei Noise I decided to check out some other stories by the mangaka. I found two Charming Junkie and Monokuro Shounen Shoujo.
Charming Junkie is about a high school girl Naka, who wants to prove to the crush that rejected her that she can smile like a flower. When she learns that the popular girl idol Umi is in truth a guy she gets to proove that with becomming Umi's co-model.
It resembles W-Juliet a lot, but with both characters being more secretive with their feelings, and the girl more unsecure.
Monokuro Shounen Shoujo is another high school story, but with a jump into fantasy, where the orphan Kureha Mimachi becomes the "rabbit" at Shiritsu Kedamono High School, a school for beasts of the elite kind. The school is letting her stay there so that the beasts can get used to humans without wanting to eat them. To protect her is the job of the top 3, a the Wolf-country's 6th princess Chouchou, Tiger-country's 2nd prince Chigaya and Black-panther country's 4th prince, Ukyou.
Again got a flash, this time from Love Monster by Riko Miyagi - though that one is more of the erotic type - the basics are close. I like that the characters are actually trying to find their own way, and show some nice development, while keeping their cores intact. So well done on that.
I do see a pattern about how the relationship progresses with reading just two stories, so I can guess how Fukumenkei Noise will turn out... which is not bad. I don't like surprises by these type of stories.
