" Miki Aihara turned the manga
world upside down with her
salacious, outrageous, and funny
hit series. If you think being a teenager
in America is hard, wait until
you read Hot Gimmick. These Tokyo
boys and girls are really messed up! "

" Unlike most shoujo, Hot Gimmick
isn't all sweet boys and rose petals.
It's much more real and complex, and
sometimes even chilling. The artwork
is top-notch, the drama is high-tension,
and I couldn't help but keep on rooting
for hapless heroine, Hatsumi, as she
deals with real life problems: family ties,
blackmail, awkward first kisses, and a
very disapproving landlady. What's not
to love? "

Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Personally,
I really like this manga,
that I bought the first 3 books in
a special edition that only cost about
12 - 15 dollars$ !!!!! :3
Like it is written above,
its about basic teenage drama
and it puts you in that mode of,
"I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!".
And this site has it completed ^^,
unlike other sites. >_>

Hope you enjoy. ^^v
