Beauty is the Beast v1
Reviewed by Paul Dale Roberts

Comments: The main character Eimi Yamashita learns that her parents are planning to move, because of job opportunities. She doesn't want to move, so she decides to move into a dormitory with 4 girls as roommates. She has many romantic adventures while living in this dormitory and soon Eimi must go through an initiation. That initiation requires her to go into the boy's dormitory and find a keepsake and bring it back. But, things go terribly wrong when she sneaks into the boy's dormitory and is confronted by a very handsome, but very cruel boy.

The artwork is average Manga. This is a story that women and girls should enjoy. I found myself getting sleepy in some parts of the story, luckily I was drinking my mocha. This graphic novel when finished should go with the DVD Green Fried Tomatoes. Read the story and then watch the movie and make it a girly night!
