SLH-Stray Love Hearts

Hi! Welcome to Reverse Harem Revolution. Now, let's get started!

Stray Love Hearts Manga Summary:
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Kozue Hiyoki is visited in her dreams by a man who steals her heart- literally! Determined to find him and retrieve her stolen heart, Hiyoki enrolls in the S-Hall dormitories of St. Nazareth Academy, but quickly realizes that its residents are not at all like she expected... For starters, they are all guys.

This was the manga that got me into reverse harem, so, for me, this is THE manga. Yosh! Let's start analyzing~!

Physical Qualities: The scanlation group that did this was one of the top scanlation groups. I have yet to see something shabby from them. The page quality was high. The work the cleaners put was astounding. The pages look very crisp. Typesetting looked really good too. You could read it easily. You may see mistakes (like grammar, spelling, punctuation), but over all this is one of the best qualities I've seen hands down.

Graphics: The art that the mangaka drew was absolutely beautiful! You've seen the cover. Hiyoki-chan looks adorable and the guys...well, what do you think?

Protagonist: Hiyoki-chan was a very kind person, but I don't really think she was physically all that strong. She will go on about how her heart hurts and that can get annoying if you can't tolerate it. However, her redeeming qualities were how she helped the boys and how dense she is. I don't remember all that much from the manga and I should probably read it over again.

Bishounen: We finally get to the bishies! The sterotypes in this manga include:

• That Jerk - Cain is the jerk of the story. You know, the one that you love and hate at the same time because he's so rude but so hot. Yeah, that one. I mean, he's gets mellow towards the end, but that doesn't make up for his rudeness...sometimes.
• The Support Beam - Ren-kun is the undeniably the reliable one. The one who can do no wrong...if you don't look at the beginning. He's the first guy that Hiyoki-chan gets to know well and almost always supports her. He's a very hard worker too.
• The Emo Dude - Kuga-kun is a man teen of few words. He writes songs and sings in a band too. He is extremely handsome (in my opinion) and very sweet when he warms up to you. Or in this case, Hiyoki.
• The Stupid Athlete - Because that's who Gai-senpai truly is. He's very cute and very good for comic relief. Not to mention, he loves sweets. And absolutely hates studying. As I said, very good for comic relief, especially when paired up with the hot nerd.
• The Hot Nerd - Yamashina-senpai...is that demon person who could be the devil student council president but thankfully is not. He's the treasurer. He's very odd and particular about certain things. Of course, he has to ALWAYS wear glasses.
• The Loli-Shouta - Asukai-senpai is the ultimate shouta. He is ADORABLE!!! And he loves cute stuff. He's the sweetest of all the boys and so cute! His comic relief partner is the womanizer.
• The Womanizer - Girl fangirl over Kitoh-senpai. His attempt at helping ends up sounding like attempts at...flirting. Or womanizing. However, he's very generous.

Plot: I'm not spoiling anything, but you will feel sympathy. Why do I always want to give the bad guys a hug?


Overall Review: The story was cute and romantic. Comic relief was a lovely addition. I even read the author's page. It was very compelling and the guys were very drool worthy. The art was to die for and any reverse harem lover has to read this. I would totally read this again. Maybe I should and update this.
