Perfect Girl Evolution vol. 20
by Tomoko Hayakawa

Reread in 2020

Sunako nearly getting married. But, after all Kyouhei can save her in time. Anyway, the prince is very.. dumb to some extent.

For the last chapter, ofc it would be my fav. Why Kyouhei and Sunako is very... Ignorant? :( I really wondering how's their relationship would be.

Can I just say that Takenaga is so swoon-worthy? 'Cause he definitely is.

[Yue · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have almost rated this volume a 3 stars. The first 3 chapters were just OK. First with Sunako wanting to marry this Prince because he was as weird and almost creepy as her. And Kyouhei impeding the wedding. Because of love? Not according to him. It was because he wanted her to cook him Japanese food. Hmmph...

Noi-chi is always funny, but she was very melodramatic in the chapter of the Festival of Mori High School. As if is important for Takenaga to be popular... But as she is always so full of energy, the melodrama was not so much.

But the best one so far was the last chapter, where the boys compete against each other for Ozouni (a typical Japanese food), cuz everyone wants it to be made of something different. Poor Yuki never has a chance of winning. Anyway, the winner is of course, the best character in the manga! As if she is going to lose against Kyouhei, ha!

The boys have accompanied Sunako on a trip to a small, foreign kingdom. Little do any of them know that Sunako's aunt has arranged for her niece to marry the crown prince. The boys are a bit shocked that Sunako agrees to go ahead with it, but they don't know about the Prince's creepy collections that Sunako is in love with. Later, in the midst of a school festival, Noi worries that she is not good enough for Takenaga. Finally, the boys and Sunako engage in a battle royal over what is the proper way to celebrate New Year.

Again, zany, wierd fun for this addictive little manga.

I love the cover of this volume, all of them together it's cute. Hoooo the prince! He is fun and really naive. It's amazing how Sunako is so clueless sometimes, she really is in her own bubble but if not she would not be Sunako. Haha Kyohei to the rescue. It is so frustrating to see such scenes, like when he saves her from marriage or when she was covered in lights to make him come back or even when they kiss, and to see that it meant nothing for them.... Why so cruel with my emotions hayakama-sama.....

One of the better volumes in the series. I love how she found someone just like her. And when Kyohei ran in on the wedding so that she could cook for him was just great. Then when Sunako was worried that Kyphei had got to the old castle before her, I was just dying.

Overall series review (mostly) 4 Stars - so far, I’ve still got a few to go…
Additional: Like most long running series there are some duff chapters/volumes

I was worried this series was going on too long, but this volume was pitch perfect wacky.
