Meski karakter utama digambarkan seperti boneka buruk rupa dan tidak di setiap volume digambarkan cantik, menurut saya itu malah menjadi semacam ciri khas komik ini.

Why is she so resistant? It's an impossible task, but if anyone's up to it, it's these four. Sunako is dark. She is obsessed with death and murder. She loves horror movies like Friday the 13th, and spends her entire day watching them. She keeps anatomical figures in her room and even has a coffin. She is anti-social, she is resistant to change, she just wants to be left the fuck alone. Sunako wasn't always like this, she was once a normal person, wanting to be beautiful, wanting to be loved.
Something happened in her past to make her change into this creature Sunako isn't purely apathetic, she is quite capable of defending herself when she needs to. She's skilled in martial arts, and she's not afraid to kick some ass to defend her friends. Kyohei : The tough guy, the bluntest of them all. The rest of the guys are there to comfort and pamper Sunako to get her to snap out of it.
Kyohei takes a different approach. He's not afraid to give it to her straight. He's not afraid to hurt her feelings, he tells Sunako she's being stupid when he sees it.
He understands her most, and he defends her most. Their relationship is a complex one. If anyone can bring Sunako out of her shell, Kyohei and his take-no-prisoners approach proves to be the most effective. Takenaga : The sensitive ringleader, Takenaga Oda. He is handsome, gentle, and kind. He is the most considerate of Sunako's feelings, and always seeks to be the peacemaker among them all. He especially tries to coordinate the peace within the household as well as try to prevent Sunako and Kyohei from killing each other.
He's the shortest, most child-like, and most prone to bursting into tears. Overall: A beautifully-drawn, very well-written manga with interesting characters and an unusual heroine. A highly enjoyable play on the My Fair Lady trope. And in case you guys needed any more enticement to read this: Note: I do own the translated volumes of the manga.

Well-executed but incredibly shallow comedy about four cool and attractive teen boys who can score free rent if they transform the socialite landlady's grubby, horror-loving niece into a "lady".
I was really hoping for some reciprocity, like she decides it's okay to have friends and comb your hair, but the guys realize that looks aren't everything. Sadly, it so far seems to purely reinforce the all too prevalent social pressures on girls to obsess about their looks.
You are happy watching horror Well-executed but incredibly shallow comedy about four cool and attractive teen boys who can score free rent if they transform the socialite landlady's grubby, horror-loving niece into a "lady". You are happy watching horror movies alone? That's wrong! You must want to have dates and popularity or you are abnormal!
It's not enough to look okay despite everyone calling her ugly, the main character seems normal and just isn't trying at all you have to work to be prettier.
Wear make-up! Spend too much on clothes! To be fair, it isn't much more liberating for boys: being cool and attractive the main thing, personality doesn't count for much, and you can treat girls like crap as long as you're cute, they will want you anyway. But as I said, it is well-executed.
The art is decent and the writing is fun and funny. I liked the main character's conversations with her anatomical models and horror characters, and her outbursts of angry ass-kicking of people who push her too far. I only wish she would beat up the people who man-handle her and try to forcibly cut her hair etc. Kids, you look fine. Believe me. View all 6 comments.
I watched the anime and I found it very enjoyable, the art style in the anime is really bad but in the manga it's beautiful. I found some faults though, like some of the characters in the manga look much too alike, in the anime it was much easy to decipher who's who, but in the manga tanako and the other guy I forget his name looked identical and it was difficult to tell who's who.
I still enjoyed it though and will be reading on. Dec 02, Kay rated it it was amazing Shelves: roflcopter , quirky , quite-the-romantic , comix-and-mangaz , japan , a-little-noir. One of my favorite manga series ever! The best way to describe The Wallflower is bizzaro and effing hilarious. It's the story of a gothic, agoraphobic, slasher movie fanatic named Sunako who busts into nosebleeds whenever she sees beautiful men i. Creatures of Light. Her social circle is limited to her beloved "dolls" a skeleton named Josephine, and two anatomical figures named Hiroshi and Akira.
One day, her dark and horror film filled life is turned upside down when her aunt recruits four One of my favorite manga series ever! One day, her dark and horror film filled life is turned upside down when her aunt recruits four beautiful boys i.
Creatures of Light as tenants in her mansion. Unbeknownst to Sunako, the aunt secretly offers free rent to the boys if they are willing and ready to make over Sunako into the beautiful, glamorous lady that she could be. And boy, do they really need the free rent! Too bad Sunako is determined to fight to remain in her dark, twisted shell, which is pretty scary when the girl exudes negative energy like The Grudge and can roundhouse kick you into tomorrow like nobody's business.
Tomoko Hayakawa has a whacked out, belly achingly funny sense of humor--and the result is this clever series that twists common horror tropes into comedic plots. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes manga or funny reads. View all 3 comments. Apr 29, Bipasha rated it liked it Recommended to Bipasha by: Khanh I'm so so sorry, I didn't like this.

In three years. Not really. Especially when our girl, Sunako, is a agoraphobic, horror flick fanatic, and introverted recluse, whose face hasn't seen the light of day since years. Enter four angelic boys Radiant Creatures Of Light giving rise to explosive nose bleeds and fainting fits, in our Sunako.
How hard can it be with four opinionated, pretentious, and vain fashionistas working on specimen? Well, hard. They need something more. Like a miracle. Well, miracles. Start, Makeover of the Century. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? Well, its not, for most of the part. The Wallflower feels like the result of some halfway decent artist reading far too much shojo that's the term, i think far too quickly. The girl is not unreasonable though, hiding herself in her room, with only slasher gores for company, she has a past, with her own assortment of skeletons in the closet.
Again, literally. But that reason is vapid, she's just a girl living in her past, unable to move on or leave her pity-party because of what one guy said two freaking yeats ago.
Yeah, she's dumb. They're self righteous, unrealistic, asinine, elite club members, who I don't give a rat's ass about. Tell me, if a girl is conscious about her looks, is that really so bad?
And if a guy calls a girl ugly, scary, horrific and creepy, often to her face, shamelessly, is it justified?
I am new to this entire genre so maybe I'm wrong and I don't know jack, but this is just wrong and redundant and denigrating. In ways, maybe it was funny, with intersperses of belly aching laughs, but I'm not touching the next book, so you can go figure. Its not awful, but verily, it could be loads better. And definitely not so tacky, for sure. I was hoping to love this, but what the hey.
Maybe reading this after Death Note, did vitiate it. Sorry, K, I really tried. This manga is CUTE.. At first when Kyohei and Sunako meets each other along with Takenaga, Yukinojo and Ranmaru for the very first time they seem totally incompatable but gradually as episodes come and go they seem closer to each other than any other pairings in the This manga is CUTE..
At first when Kyohei and Sunako meets each other along with Takenaga, Yukinojo and Ranmaru for the very first time they seem totally incompatable but gradually as episodes come and go they seem closer to each other than any other pairings in the manga. When the two first meet, they are incontrolable and ungiving but bit by bit, Sunako softens up to Kyohei at lets him enter her space as they have similar likings such as horror movies anc ecetera but both are unknown to their similarities.
Occasionally, Takenaga and Noi A girl who likes Takenaga get into a few scraps themselves when Noi finds trouble confessing her feelings to Takenaga. Likewise for Takenaga, he too finds it hard to confess and sometimes Kyohei likes to get in the way to annoy Noi. Yukinojo being a scaredy-cat is quite fearfull of Sunako but steps up when a friend is in need.
Ranmaru, the play boy enjoys dating married women and has a moral not many like. But when his eyes are set on a girl, his love for her is complicated and he himself does not know but it never falters. The main storyline is full of suspense and emotion espically the antics of Kyohei and Sunako.
Hilarious beyond words. Overall, I think the storyline and the characters are fantastic. It keeps you stuck to reading the same page over and over again. Not too magicial but a manga with loads of fun, laughter, peace and joy.
The hairstyles have been modelled for which makes the hairstyle really amazing. The drawing is quite realistic espically the eyes, hairstyles and poses. The chibi parts are rather cute, not too much details but really cute and original.
I like the realistic touch of the drawing finding easier to daydream about how the characters would look like in real life. Since there are loads of Chibi Sunakos, i look forward to the parts when Sunako is drawn in human like form. Most of the times protecting someone or with Kyohei. The hairstyles are similar yet different but i find it rather easier to differ character from character as each has their own individual styles which is what i like about the manga other than the storyline and the character design.
The life-likeness of the characters make the story really enjoyable to read. The parts where the characters are supposed to animate seems as if the pictures are really moving the way that Tomoko has drawn them.
The art quality has stunned me speechless. Each has their own unique style in their speech. You can differ them easily by their speech as each has their own unique individual dialogue. The genre of the manga matches the dialogue really well. Its not in poetry but in simple yet suspense dialogue which makes the manga even more intresting to read. The concept of it being an everyday life manga is very good as it does not exaggerate but has a very adventours touch to it.
The main storyline is full of suspense and emotion. I find it a very enjoyable manga and will never regret reading it. The presentation all in all is very good and worth reading. The storyline, art and the dialogue is very good and very like-like. Apr 30, Jessica-Robyn rated it really liked it Shelves: manga-manhwa. XD First exposed to The Wallflower through seeing the first couple episodes of the anime I found the story and art style to be interesting but most importantly it was funny, over the top, and seemed to be coming from completely out of nowhere.
I'm glad to see that this correlate even more so in the manga. It took me a bit longer then I expected to get into the story which I contribute to the abruptness of the first few pages introducing you to the characters and the story by literally dropping you in mid-conversation.
Since these pages don't really give you much context it took me a bit to adjust to what was going on and who each character was even though I had some previous knowledge of what I was supposed to be seeing. But getting past this, by the time I was done the first chapter the story was in full swing and everything started to come together in a funny and bizarre story of Sunako and her strange, forced interactions with four "creatures of brightness" who are now living with her after years of hiding from the world with her plummeting self-esteem and increasingly psychotic personality.
Things get mapped out for you pretty quickly and the back and forth of, People: "You just have to try harder to be pretty or else you'll be ugly forever! A brief final moment to talk about the guys in the story, you're first given there names through their conversation which is very confusing and a small glimpse of their shallow outlook and personalities but nothing really beyond that.
If one wasn't the main possible love interest for Sunako and another didn't have black hair they would all just start to blend together. I'm thinking that this will improve as the manga progresses, once the story is fully established they will hopefully start to take on some distinguishing factors and given back-stories that might make me actually care about them as characters. Overall this was a laugh out loud read that isn't to be taken to seriously. Oct 23, Dana rated it really liked it. I loved it!!
So bizarre I mean, when will the madness end?!? I can't wait to read volume 2! View 2 comments. Mar 10, ReadAllTheBooks rated it liked it. This review is kind of representative for my feelings of the series as a whole.
I'd stopped reading around volume 16 because I got tired of waiting for something to happen. I just got a little bugged because at times this series would progress in the plot, then have Sunako regress almost This review is kind of representative for my feelings of the series as a whole.
I just got a little bugged because at times this series would progress in the plot, then have Sunako regress almost to her original state because they wanted to keep the series going.
It just got too repetitive and after a while, stale. The general feel of the chapters grew to feel more like they're trying to drag it out as a cash cow ala DragonBall than any actual need for volumes. This isn't an awful series and I'm up to volume 8 as of this review and I can see why I originally liked it and why others liked it. I'm also starting to realize why I stopped buying it. This is a decent enough series, but get the volumes from the library first and read up to volume before really investing in buying the volumes.
It's good, but I don't know that I'll read beyond what my friends and I have of the series. Apr 21, Mizuki rated it it was amazing Shelves: manga. Me and my manga-reading aunt both love this series. XD Crazy plot, crazy setting and equally crazy sense of humor are at work here. And the four pretty boys are much more than just eye-candies, though the mention of their huge army of fangirls and those fangirls' extreme behaviors are always oh-so over the top.
Outside of the manga itself, the author Tomoko Hayakawa's undying love for the Japanese Visual Kei male rock star Kiyoharu is just equally hilarious! She loves him so much that she basically Me and my manga-reading aunt both love this series.
She loves him so much that she basically based her male lead on him, and Kiyoharu also ended up singing the Opening and the Ending songs for the Wallflower anime series. XD I love Sunako's character because she is so Even though I have no fantasy about four hot boys hanging out with me at once. I also like that the four boys eventually partly accepted Sunako for being herself instead of pushing her to be the perfect lady like her aunt would have desired.
Feb 16, Degeorgetown rated it did not like it. I tried to read this because I'd heard such great things about it, but I hated it. The art was ugly, I couldn't tell one boy from another. The main character is extremely unlikeable. She tries to murder one of the guys with scissors and everyone is cool with it, no one thinks she needs psychiatric help.
I quit reading in disgust after she befriended a serial rapist because they were both "misunderstood". Waltz Tango Foxtrot doesn't come close to describing my reaction.
Jul 16, Lauren rated it it was ok Shelves: manga , humor , fiction , romance , shojo , japanese-literature , graphic-novel. This manga first drew my attention simply because I fell in love with the character designs.
Save for a few problems two of the main guys look a little too much like each other for me to have an easy time telling them apart that is the strongest thing the manga has going for it. The story's relatively straightforward. It's the Beautiful After All type of story.
I don't get morally offended by that type of story the way some other people do, and I'm willing to have fun with it. However, the wri This manga first drew my attention simply because I fell in love with the character designs. However, the writing needs to be up to par. This series doesn't have Ouran's the manga I see it compared to the most zaniness, nor does it have Clueless's wit.
It is overly reliant on a few running gags that frankly weren't terribly amusing the first time. I'm not sure if this is just a case of first-issue weakness and it'll get funnier if I give it some time or not, but unless someone strongly recommends I give it another chance, I think I'm going to leave the rest of the series be.
There are a lot of manga and books out there, and I only have a limited amount of money to spend. I'm not really sure that continuing to read this series is a worthy investment. Sep 15, Angela Angel's Guilty Pleasures rated it really liked it Shelves: 4-stars , paperbacks-i-own.
I really like this series. Feb 24, Puji P. Perfect Girl Evolution Vol. I love how Sunako-Kyohei's development. At the end of the day, they are just cute together. Actually, the main message that delivered by Hayakawa is really good.
No matter what other people said to us, especially the negative one, we shouldn't be that much affected. If we aren't wrong, why bother, then?
