I recently "discovered" this series and found it to my liking. Although it was very good, I couldn't help but notice that there were definitely some things that weren't the greatest. Although I have no complaints about the story itself, I thought it was strange how the art style changed so drastically in the fifth volume. I was hoping that it was temporary, but it seems to continue onto the sixth this way.
Please give me your opinion on this series, its art and storyline. (Spoilers welcome!) |

I just got the first volume of The Wallflower today!
So far I like it... the story is kind of weird but I like it. Also what do you mean when you say the art style changes? Like how does it change? |

If you noticed, the artist's style is very different from other shojo styles. It took me a little while to adjust to it, but I like it now. However, in the fifth volume it starts becoming a little mainstream. Ranmaru, for example, has smaller eyes and everyone's faces are a bit longer--mainly because of the eyes. Furthermore, their mouths--the lips are now completely drawn in, and are thinner. I am disappointed by this...
The story is interesting but not the best, so the art was what kept it going for me. Of course, I am still interested in what happens later, but...why? That's all I want to know. (What I mean is, why so sudden? Many styles gradually change but this was abrupt.) |

Whoa! She did change everything for Volume 5. I think the changes are great. The eyes are much more clear and open. I thought the characters looked absolutely stunning.
The guys do look like themselves to me though. I didn't find the character changes to be drastic enough to make me mad. Artists are always changing little by little. |

I guess you could say that it's gotten clearer, but the quality of the Del Rey manga improved. That might actually be it. I did like the earlier volumes better, but I made a big deal about it because I haven't read shojo titles in a while...
It is still good though! |
