Nice idea, but Karin was a little too cute, her situations were a little too cute&#8211;everything was just a little too cute for me. I did like some of the twists and turns the story took, but found the implementation not to my tastes.I did love the chapter titles however: The First Embarrassment, the Second Embarrassment&#8230; I find that highly amusing. And it&#8217;s not that I didn&#8217;t find the story amusing. It just never piqued my interest.<br \/>\nSo I&#8217;ll try some other Manga stories, but I&#8217;m wondering whether it just might not be my thing.
