DOLLS by Yumiko Kawahara



Different from the other series featured here of a similar name, this series is about these plant dolls sold by a collector. they are called plant dolls because they need sugar cookies and warm milk to survive and maintain its lustrous hair and glowing skin. if you feed it anything else other than the two items, the doll will grow.

this is a shonen series, meaning it is meant for older teen girls (so expect lotsa sappy stories and lovey dovey sob tales between the dolls and their owners.
this series teaches me that sometimes change is not necessarily good. but when change does happen, you have to make it work for you and not lket it run rampant! but this series is kinda hard to get in singapore...

artwork a 6/10 (its graphics are kinda 1980s-1990s. rather old style manga)

cover design a 8 out of 10. the doll pictures in front look really cute, innocent and irresistable!

and a 8/10 for the story plot.
