SP Baby, Vol. 1

I've read Happy Marriage which is by the same author, and if you read that, you won't be let down by this. Despite only being a two book series, I was pulled in very quickly. Of course, it's fluff, but there is the needed angst that makes it all worthwhile. Honestly, it was so reasonable to purchase because it was only a two-book series... which enticed me to check it out in the first place. Tama's guilt over things not going ideally is so relatable since she feels it on a larger level due to not being able to save her younger sister from drowning. She is not one to take all handouts and puts caring for her younger teen brother at the top of her list without it making her into a mary sue heroine. Go ahead and treat yourself to this reasonably priced series, it's satisfying.

Read it I am telling you will not be disappointed! I only meant to read a couple of pages before bed however I am instead eagerly awaiting the next installment!

SP Baby is interesting and I'd like to see more of the story unfold by Maki Enjoji. Hopefully it'll be a great series that I can get invested in.

D. so happy to find another of my favorite mangakas here on Amazon! I loved this storyline when I could only read it from scanalation groups, but now I can support the mangaka by purchasing it. I cont wait to buy more!

It's a fun story and cute.

One of my favorite manga!

Cute. I'll get the next one.

I thought the short, silly SP Baby would be a fun read, but it never came together for me. I should have paid attention to the creator. Maki Enjoji was also responsible for  Happy Marriage?!, Vol. 1 , a silly, smutty shojo with sex about an arranged marriage with a dippy lead girl.That approach to characterization continues here. Tamaki needs to find a full-time job, although she has no particular skills, except the ability to kick people in the face, which she does frequently and seemingly without thinking. She wants to be more responsible because she’s taking care of a younger brother and has a crush on her neighbor and childhood friend. But her tendency to react without thinking has been a hindrance… until now, when she’s hired as a bodyguard by the prime minister’s nephew. This sounds funny, but as portrayed, it’s more sad.I can see where some readers might enjoy the concept of a normal girl, nothing special about her, getting swept away by a powerful, rich man who gets what he wants, and he wants her. It doesn’t have the frothy fun of that kind of Harlequin, though. Instead, my most common reaction was head-scratching at what exactly I was supposed to be looking at (particularly during the kicking scenes) or why anyone would behave this way.Of course, there’s the hint of a secret past, where the politician knows her but she doesn’t remember him. He keeps kissing her without permission, a plot point that doesn’t read well in today’s environment, and he puts her in an impractical short skirt suit so he can see her legs. He does seem to be in actual danger at times, which makes picking an inexperienced young woman to protect him even more foolhardy, although it does force them into close contact, which is the point. Most of the situations and events here feel labored, with the author working too hard to get to the point. (The publisher provided a review copy. Review originally posted at ComicsWorthReading.com.)
