The art is adorable, the characters likable, but the pacing is a mess. It's really obvious that the author was forced to shorten the story. Side characters come and go without any real arc and the main characters often take a backseat to whatever big event needs to happen to move the plot forward. There were also some plot devices that could have been completely eliminated without changing the basic flow of the story. I definitely enjoy this author's one-shots more than her longer stories.
That being said, the main character actually had a backbone, so it doesn't do as much harm as some Shojo. (Though I definitely prefer Kamisama Kiss, Fruits Basket, Gakuen Alice, and other series that have a chance to delve more into both the world and the characters.)

I was hesitant to begin reading this, but, now that I'm finished, I can just say this. This was totally worth it.
The Plot
At first I thought it was another [b:Crash!|1911319|Crash! (Vol. 1)|Yuka Fujiwara|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337370102s/1911319.jpg|1913258]-like manga, but it's not. Well it kind of is, only I think it's fair to say Crash! was like this rather than the other way around :).
Yukari Fujimaru has a magical ability to "see" talent in others. Now she uses this gift to become a manager for a competitive talent agency -- under the condition that she convinces everyone she's really a guy!
The battle is on as the Peacock agency finds itself under attack by rival Yasuoka Productions. The ambitious Noriko Kano is ready to use any means necessary to put her agency back on top, even if it means exploiting a relative of Peacock's star client Ayaori Mashiba. Peacock's President is going to have to draft Yukari into this battle to have a shot at winning this war.
Characters
Yukari Fujimaru>I like her character she's girly yet she's a tomboy. I felt even though she was the main protagonist, that Ryou and Ayaori were the main focus rather than her, which I thought was good, because I liked her character more for it. (She's definitely not the annoying kind!)
Ryou> for the easy going beautiful guy type, he's not just a Great guy but he has a personality too!
Ayaori> for the silent hot guy type, he has a great personality Lol
Supporting cast, I like them all, some of them were just weird lol
Setting
Japan, duh. But more specifically the school they go to and the Peacock Agency.
Writing/Artwork
Good overall, enjoyable. It's a light manga, even with the tragedies. So definitely a fluffy read. Though the ending kind of disappointed me, wasn't this advertised as a romantic shoujo? I mean yes there was the kiss scene but that was an accident, and yes, you see the characters full on blush, but you never actually get the final result, even at the ending...
Artwork: pretty
Overall
Good, light, fluffy read, I certainly had heaps of fun reading it. And it made me smile.
