Plot:
Usagi is the granddaughter of the leader of a prestigious ninja village, but she's such a klutz that she's never made it out of the lower class. Frustrated with Usagi's lack of progress, her grandfather sends her to marry Lord Hanzo with an order to breed many ninja children. But the lord has no interest in her or her childbearing potential!
Review:
Ueda Rinko is probably not the most original artist around but she probably has my favourite art and the most entertaining/addicting stories. More or less, she embodies what stereotypical shoujo plot lines are all about: bishies and dumb but lovable heroines.
Usagi, despite her lack of talent in shinboi law and possessing any common sense, is your average 15 year old who is a little selfish, demanding and boy crazy. I usually hate characters like this but given her age and sudden betrothal I can forgive her for feeling this way. Plus she's the type of annoying that isn't grating or hate-able.
Then we have Hanzo, a series biseinen dude who gets caught up in her shenanigans but somehow, over time, warms up to her. He's your stock character that you'd expect, handsome, strong and a tad possessive.
The romance kind of simmers on the back-burner throughout the series and allowed other plots/sub plots to develop which allowed characters like Usagi to be quite bearable. If Ueda has focused soley on romance, it would've quickly become annoying and stupid, a path many shoujos tend to go on. Although when the romance did occur, it did progress erratically, in leaps and bounds which made their "deep love" a little unbelievable.
Aside from that, it has a good cast of side characters and a coherent plot that is easy to understand. There is a bit of character development towards the end where Usagi wisens and toughens up due to various circumstances. The pacing was good and it concluded before it outstayed its welcome.
More than anything, it's an entertaining, fun, light-hearted read and a great way to kill time but it isn't anything deep or serious.
More Info:
Tsuki No Toiki is a prequel/side story starring two side characters' romance before the events of this story. It's a nice manga and is something you could read instead of this if you want to get a feel for this story.
