If you've read my past few posts, you'll know that it's really hard to find volume 1 of any manga series in any of our local bookstores. That's why I didn't think twice when I saw volume 1 of The Wallflower and bought it right away. I didn't really know what to expect about this series. All I know at that time is that one of the most common elements in Shoujo manga is a group of good-looking boys and this is definitely not absent in this series.
Basically, this series is about a group of boys giving an extremely shy and awkward girl a makeover. But I realized after reading the first few pages that this is no ordinary makeover story. This girl is extremely anti-social to the point of it being something like a psychological problem. She also has a certain affinity to the dark side, which I find really weird, but it makes the story more interesting nevertheless. There's no question that this girl is pretty, but the challenge in here is how to make her realize her worth and potential.
I'm really curious about how this manga series would turn out. This is one I'll continue reading hopefully 'till the very end.
