Is First Love Monster as dreadful as it seems?
I'm not honestly sure yet - I hated the first episode of the anime but - confession - then found myself watching the series (horrific fascination? guilty pleasure?). So I decided to go back to the source material to see how faithful the anime is to the source material. And it's really pretty to look at! Akira Hiyoshimaru seems to be having fun drawing what she calls 'Kaho and her inappropriate boy-girl friendship'. (Though where 'Shounen Maid' another recent 'entertaining fluff' series turned out to be heart-warming and character-based, this one veers more toward innuendo...)
