Hot Gimmick by Miki Aihara
<-- Back to Manga / Anime
Okay, I've only written about shounen- (boy in Japanese) manga this far, so, why don't we move on with a thrilling love story? ^ ^
  Hatsumi is an ordinary high school student leading an ordinary life, well, not quite...
  One day she helps her little sister out; she goes to the store to buy a pregnant test since that's a thing a girl in her age, and especially not one in
her sister's age, should go out and buy. Therefore she disguises herself (she looks awful) and thereby manages to pull the commission of. At least, that�s what she thinks. Once she�s safe and sound; back in the apartment building, she gets caught red handed; and by no other than the person she hates the most in the world; Ryouki. He�s the son of Hatsumi�s fathers company president, and also the kid who always tortured her back in kindergarten, she hasn�t seen him for many years, and he still frighteners her the same way as he used to do.
Disaster is knocking on the door; if this ever comes out; children reflect their parents, and if the fact about Hatsumi's little sister's possible pregnancy comes out; her father might loose his job! Therefore she begs Ryouki not to tell anyone, and he agrees, under one condition; that she'll be his personal slave (!)
Oh my, oh my, oh my!! X.x Tell me about it; I�m weird! I loooooove this manga!
  Actually, there�s a lot more people involved other than Hatsumi, Ryouki, and Hatsumi�s little sister. Actually, this is a pretty complexed, relation-only driven manga, and it's pretty hard to tell all about it.. X.x .. I know! I'll just have a little character-run through! ^^

Hatsumi (16 yrs, 2nd year of high school)
 
The main character. "heroine" if you'd like to call her that, though I wouldn't.. More likely "victim".. ::sigh::


Ryoki
(16 yrs, 2nd year of high school)
 
The eeeeeevil guy who "enslaved" Hatsumi.. She only pisses him of- .. Or, may he have feelings for her?






Azusa (16 yrs, 2nd year of high school)
The very handsome (yeah, he's a fotomodel), friendly, outgoing and caring childhood friend whom Hatsumi's secretly in love with. But, what is that guy up to? ...




Shinogu (19 yrs, university student also has part-time jobs)
  Hatsumi's older brother.. But, is he really feeling for Hatsumi the way a big brother should about his sister? ...
(he's on the picture above with Hatsumi)

He's my personal favourite among the boys in this manga. ^ ^ He's so cute and careing.. And, well... There's just something about me and dark haired, tall guys.. ::snickers::



Akane (a year or two younger than Hatsumi, I guess)
  Hatsumi and Shinogu's little sister. She's really what you can say "boy crazy", and she envy her sister for all the attention she gets from the boys.. Though, she misses one boy, the one who only has eyes for her.. : (




Subaru (16 yrs, 2nd year of high school)
  Also living in the apartment complex. A complete otaku; a gundam nerd.. ^.^
Weirdly enough friends with Ryoki.
This is truly a very good read, and I reccomend it to whom ever may be reading this review. ^.^
You'll never be bored, reading this manga, and if you do; then I'd really like to know about you and your love life.. ;  )
