From someone who didn't like Yellow, I can safely say I'll be avoiding Steal Moon like the plague. Gross.

I guess I really should devote myself to reading better things from NETCOMICS first, like Let Dai and Do Whatever You Want.

@Michelle @Connie: 100% Perfect Girl is definitely a tough call. I really disliked it, yet was never bored.

I’ve only read these 2 Tateno series so far, but at the very least they have non-romance plots and some unconventional relationships to recommend them.

Actually, I think Melinda’s review made me decide against 100% Perfect Girl. But I didn’t like Can’t Lose You, so I had already mostly made up my mind.

And I keep thinking I ought to read more Makoto Tateno, but not many of her series aside from Yellow sound like must-reads.

It might be worth mentioning that I liked *some* parts of Steal Moon enough that I plan to keep it. I also just recently finally acquired the second and third volumes of Hero Heel (I already had volume one), so I’ll be reading that at some point in the future.

And thanks for the compliment!

Ohhhhh…that cover and your review of vol 2 Karakuri Odette makes me want to pick it up this instant, Michelle. It just looks sooooo soothing, ya know?!

(Also Steal Moon ended up not being my thing, even though I really had a deep and strange love for her series Hero Heel).
