Pastel 14

Toshihiko Kobayashi – Del Rey – 2009 – 22+ volumes

I reviewed this for the weekly Manga Minis column at Manga Recon, so you can check it out over there.

I swore off this series since the last several volumes have been brain-breaking stupid, but it’s easy to review since I’m familiar with it, so I tried one more.  I thought it was kind of funny that the one series I promise myself not to read anymore goes and has its climax in the very next volume.  This volume is pretty much why you’ve been reading the series all this time.  It’s good, and I like Pastel for moments like this, I just wish it wasn’t so terrible in between these flashes of goodness.

Having said that, there are still better shounen romances out there.  I”s, for instance.  Or Oh My Goddess.  Either of those would be fine.
