When first-year high school student Miharu Ogawa gets a call from her parents, telling her to come straight home from school, she prepares herself for the worst. After all, the last time her quirky restaurateur parents told her to come straight home she ended up as a contestant on a kiddy game show! But nothing she could ever have imagined could have prepared her for their "great news:" Miharu is getting married! How's a spirited and independent teenager who has never even kissed a boy supposed to deal with suddenly having a fiance she's never even met? And how will her feelings change when she finds out that there are other boys out there vying for her affection, and other girls ready and willing to take away the man she's not even sure she's ready for? With her family, friends (and enemies!) to cope with, will Miharu even have the time to find out if the handsome, devoted Kazuo Fujiwara is really the man she is meant to be with, the man connected to her by the red string of destiny?
专业书评 From Booklist
This U.S.-created, manga-style comic reverses a typical plotline: Miharu, a sweet, slighty kooky Japanese high-school girl, doesn't run away from an arranged marriage. Instead, she gives her potential groom a chance to win her heart. With the expectation that she will be bound to her destined companion by a red string of fate, Miharu struggles with a decision that will affect the rest of her life. Some odd anatomy and awkward visual pacing distract from the story and the plot is bland, but the tone is more realistic and less manic than most shojo. Brenner, Robin
