Review 19: Mr. Convenience

Art: 7.5
Plot: 8
Characters: 8
Sex: 8.5

Mr. Convenience is about a man who works at a place where they basically take requests to do all sorts of things, from gardening to babysitting to chauffeuring to escorts to... what Shiba Takashi ends up doing, which is listening to a cute guy talk about how lonely and disappointed he is at his father's company. This becomes a regular occurrence, but it's strictly business - when the clock stops, he gets kicked out politely. And when he sees Aki in public, he isn't allowed to even look at him because their sessions are confidential. It's tough when Shiba ends up in love with Aki.
My favorite line from this one was, "Someone help me, I'm so happy~"

The art is not that great. It isn't horrible to look at, but I've seen so many stunning works that just make it pale in comparison. It doesn't even measure up to the standard 8 of Makoto Tateno's clean-lined works.

The characters are interesting, at least. Shiba is easy to sympathize with, and Aki is just plain weird, if fascinating. They hold the reader's attention for long enough.

The sex is actually pretty decent. In fact, it's better than I expected (somehow I feel odd saying all that... hope no one sees this out of context). Even though Shiba and Aki's personalities aren't all that inventive, it's still carried out interestingly enough.

All in all, 32/40. Not bad, really. Which makes me wonder if I did those calculations wrong...

Recommendation: Yep, another rainy day read. But this one has a bit more to it than the others I've reviewed lately.
