Anime!

Haven't had a chance to pick up Pastel yet.

I admit, the character design isn’t the best in the world, but the front cover is just SO cute that you cant help but want to read this. I’m also disappointed in the lack of chibi, but it goes the Genshiken route by having the simply-drawn faces in instances where the character is embarrassed and such. As for the story, it feels like an average love story. Nothing in particular sticks out. If you want some fan service, you’re better off with Negima. If you want a cute love story, you’re better off with Love Roma. I’ll give the next volume a read, but there are better love stories out there.
