Kaitlin C. (Nekomancer) reviewed ハレムでひとり on 8/29/2008

Helpful Score: 4

I'd have to disagree with the previous reviewer, as far as one-shots go, these are pretty good. Be warned that every uke in this series looks very girly, so if you are looking for manly men/bara, then this is not your book.

Are these the world's most developed stories? No, but they aren't supposed to be, they are, after all, one-shots. I personally liked the last story the best, and the story of the bird the least. If you really like this author she also has another book out in English called 'My Only King' which has a longer story and a few one-shots. If you are really a huge fan of her work, you can also try to find some of her Japanese only books and read the English translations online. All of 都立魔法学園, ミックス★ミックス★チョコレート, かわいがって下さい, and 花ムコさん have translations as well as a part of 花嫁くん.

Other than 都立魔法学園, I would say that this is the best bit of Hoshino Lily's work out there, and definitely the best you can find in English. She has a very distinctive artstyle you won't confuse with any other mangaka. Worth a read if you are into boy's love.
