Since his parents died, manga artist Ichiro has barely scraped by, forced to support his two younger siblings on just a middle school education. Suddenly, a new assistant pops into Ichiro’s life, and his prospects immediately start to brighten. She’s a beautiful artist, who always finishes on time. Soon, she makes a confession that bends Ichiro’s mind beyond the confines of Earth…”I’m the princess from Meteor country. I will become married to the person who is connected with my thorn.”

I can talk about seiyuus for days. A connoisseur of cute girls doing cute things and fluffy romance stories always make me smile. I mostly watch slice-of-life and rom-coms with drama on the side.
