Btw, I've recently read the first volume of Hot Gimmick...and I really enjoyed it. :victory:
I see what you mean about Hatsumi though... :hehe:

ILll ask the manga geek (aka shopassistant) at my local comic shop - he has read every single manga published in French (and some in English) :sweat: :hehe:
I wish Hatsumi had more punch :smack: , I am glad you like it though -itLs a good Shoujo! :thumbsup:

Where does your shop assistant get time to do anything else?! :shocked: :mrgreen:

Yeah, I've only read book 1, but I agree Hatsumi needs a shake. That girl needs a backbone. I still like her though. And poor thing, she has to put up with lots of crap. :D

I've got books 2 and 3 on the way. Really looking forward to them!

Oh yeah, those guys are certainly cute! :thumbsup: Even that unpleasant Tachibana son.
I've only read vol 1, so I know this could change, but so far Hatsumi doesn't seem to realize how cute she is to guys.

hahaha..yeah, she's just too plain to understand that her brother, her best friend (the model) and of course, her stage partner are falling in love with her..(gome, i forgot the names).. :bonk: :bonk: and i also love the dark side of the story.

Oooh I saw the name Tachibana and thought are they talking Hot Gimmick? Good manga ^_^ I saw it through to the end.

My favourite mangas at the moment are...

The Gentlemans Alliance
Ghost Hunt
Vampire Knight

Think that's it... but I collect so many :P

Ooh, "stage partner"? I haven't got to him yet. :sweat:
I can see Hatsumi's model pal is so falling for her. She's being weird though! And letting Tachibana walk all over her.

Note: did you see Stevie mentions Vampire Knight a few posts ago? :)


I'm gonna start HG vol 2 when I've read more of my Sgt Frog 3-in-1 volume. I loooooove Sgt Frog - he's a cute little beast. I love the interaction with his host family. :hehe:

the stage partner refers to Tachibana Ryoki... :hehe: :hehe:
if i'm not mistaken, ryoki falls for her when they do the stage play at school.
but when i keep reading the manga, half of me want her to be with her brother and another half she looks good with ryoki.

being so harsh on her.. and he's a bit childish..:mrgreen:

and i like the part where

Spoiler — click to reveal

there's a girl named Ruri come to Tachibana's House along
with Hatsumi and Shinogu... and Ryouki's mother were asking him to
do a revision together with Ruri and then he asked Hatsumi to decide.
Did you noticed Shinogu's face when Ryouki told her mother not to harass
her when he's not around? it seems that finally Shinogu was accepting their
relationship.. ^^
