Sweetness with a Bite: Hana to Akuma by Oto Hisamu
Review/Recommendation by baka-girl (Some rights reserved)
Quick Summary: Vivi, a 200-year-old demon set foot on Earth because he was so bored with his life in the demon realm. One year hence, he picks up a baby in front of his gate on a whim.
[Baby Hana from chapter 1]
Vivi's servant Tony observes that the baby has a smile like a flower. Because of this, Vivi decides to name the baby Hana
(most of you already know, but to make it clear, hana
is Japanese for flower). From then on, Hana lives together with her akuma Vivi, Tony and Vivi's maid in his super big castle. Is that all? No, the cast will meet other demons who come to bring back Vivi to Demon World ^^
Hana to Akuma is a shoujo manga by Oto Hisamu, first serialized in Hana to Yume mangazine. I never heard his/her name before, and when I tried to search for more information, I found that Hana to Akuma is Oto Hisamu's second manga (the first was a one-shot). Even though you can say s/he is rather new in manga business, I do think that the manga-ka has done pretty well this time.
What makes me decide that this manga deserves your special attention?
