Today’s post is on Sweet Rein, volume 1 by Sakura Tsukuba. It is the first in her Sweet Rein series. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the two main characters on it looking cute and happy. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo love stories, holiday themed stories, and magical girl stories. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book - A magical romance from the creator of Land of the Blindfolded. Sad at the thought of spending Christmas alone, Kurumi Sagara goes out for a walk. While she’s crossing the street, a boy bumps into her, and a rein suddenly appears that binds them together. The overjoyed boy tells her she’s his master and that she’s a Santa Claus. Kurumi dismisses him as a crazy person, but then he transforms into a reindeer?!
Review – This is a very cute magical girl love story with a Christmas theme. Kurumi is a girl who loves Christmas but is going to be spending it alone but then she meets a boy, Kaito, who says that she is his master and a Santa Claus. We get our story from there. It is very cute with Kurumi using her Santa powers to help not just during the Christmas season but whenever she can. The love story is in the background with Kurumi unsure if Kaito really likes her or just because she is his Santa. It does not help that Kaito thinks that they are one in the same thing. I like the characters very much, the theme is cute without being too over-the-top, and the art is good. I want Kurumi and Kaito to end up together and beat the odds as Santa and Reindeer.
I give this volume a Four out if Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
