Reviews

[Amy Dear]

"Bound Beauty - the end! Thanks for reading!" made me laugh way harder than it should have.

[David Doel]

This series has more in common with Case Closed than just a protagonist who becomes a child. It also features mysteries of a sort and the main characters are similar to a detective agency.

[Celia Mitchell]

This one's an interesting little shojo about a girl who is thrown into a magical world of spirits and controlling the strings of fate. I don't care as much for the female character because she's kind of immature a lot, but there are times when she can be serious. And otherwise, I like the story.
