Author & Artist: Tsukuba Sakura
Status: Completed
Chapters: 32
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Gender Bender, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Slice Of Life, Supernatural
Plot:
 High school student Yukari Fujimaru knows a potential star when she sees one because she sees the special "aura" they give off, in the form of angelic wings. Yukari's fellow student, the beautiful and responsible student body vice president, Ryoko Katsuragi, has a small pair of wings herself, and is one of these aspiring talents. She's so talented, in fact, that no one even knows that "she" is actually a boy in disguise. Due to a series of events, Yukari has come to discover Ryoko, or rather, Ryou's secret, and is hired as a manager for Ryou by the president of the Peacock Talent Agency. Living together with the promising Ryou and his rather dashing room mate, Makoto Ayori, the number one star in Peacock who is also the lazy, ruffle-headed student body president, is bound to be an adventure! Now, to make her own down-to-earth dream come true Yukari must help her new friend become a star while doing her best to protect both her beloved room mates.


Review:
Let me start off by saying that this manga would be in my top list if it wasn't for the end. Be warned, the ending is not satisfying and feels incompleted; like the author planned for a sequel but never made one. It starts off as a typical love triangle, then a square O.o
Except it's more of a triangle than a square...
The female protagonist is a very cheerful, unbelievably positive and she has a very likable that 3 guys have decided to fall for her. The two love interests are both cool but they're like cardboard cut outs which have been adjusted in appearance.Although I find the scenes where the girl is naked and the guy walks in infuriatingly unnecessary. Nonetheless, this manga had a lot of potential to become a good manga but it just missed the mark. If your bored, try this one out but be prepared to be disappointed...
