It was fun, if light, and since my daughter brought home ten volumes of the series, I figure I'll keep going. But I loved her commitment to her dream, especially since she's not very good at acting or pronunciation and ends up in the lowest group, the Stragglers (who are all great characters and really interesting). Hime's obsession with being girly irritated me because I have a deep voice and a history of portraying male characters in theatrical performances. The problem is that she has a deep, almost gravelly voice-not something a princess would have. The main character, Hime, is very girly and longs to portray girly characters, especially princesses (Hime means "princess"), and her dream is to voice a character from her favorite anime, Lovely Blazers. This struck me as a remarkably narrow focus even for a manga, but I was willing to give it its premise. In typical manga fashion, it starts with a girl beginning her first day at a prestigious high school, entering a program to learn to become a voice actor. My daughter picked this up at the library and thought I might like it.
