I recently got this series after reading the first chapter in SB.
I just finished it and I think that the story is a little weak.
Its just wayyy too typical.
What I want to know is what you thought about this manga and see if your reactions were different than mine.
If there are going to be spoilers then please let it be known to others that have not read this series yet but are possibly going to.

Story

Rena Sakura is a high school student with a secret: she's a professional mangaka. And although she's never been on a date, that doesn't stop her from drawing steamy shojo scenes for Cha❤mi magazine. But when the gorgeous Tomoya Okita finds out her secret, she finds herself asking him out to get some real-life experience in love!

I read the chapter in SB, it's cute but I didn't feel like I really had to read more of it.

Seems typical, yea. Although the art is cute, but that's about it.. I guess.

I like cliche...

I haven't gotten the manga, but I do want to. It looked like something I really would like to read. I like those kinds of stories. It might mean I'm a loser, but...

EDIT

Yay, I got it!!

And I fell in LOVE with it!

It's so cute, so fluffy, so sweet, so romantic and Tomoya is such the ideal boyfriend. I just can't wait until the next manga volume!!

The beauty of cliches is that they make the best short series, otherwise it feels like it ends way too early and you don't even know what the heck happened. FILLAC is a great series to take with you while traveling, or to read through fast while on the toilet. Every girl (or shojo-loving guy) should shell-out $20 and buy both books.

even though the story was cliched i thought that it was really sweet, they could have done more but i was glad with how the whole series turned out in the end

The ending was way too fast, and it was very typical fairytale...but I like how they got together, and Tomoya was a really good example of a perfect manga man.
