Mitsuki is 12. She loves Eichi, who's studying in the U.S., and she dreams of fulfilling her promise to him by becoming a singer. But Mitsuki has sarcoma, a form of cancer in her throat. Her doctor wants her to have an operation, but Mitsuki refuses because it would destroy her singing voice. One day two shinigami (gods of death) appear; Takuto and Meroko, and transform her into a healthy sixteen-year old. Because of the transformation, Mitsuki is able to make her debut as "Fullmoon"
^ Pretty much this book is about Mitsuki's journey as she starts out as a girl with no future, and transforms into a pop culture icon. I liked this series because of all the twists and turns. One second you believed that it was going to be happy and everything was alright, and bam the next second you would realize that you were tricked. I especially liked the ending of it (not telling ;D) Criticism I have for this is the following- The relationships are hard to follow (wait who is that person again?) and the drawings can be overloaded at times with effects. Also, the authors comments get in the way of some of the good parts. But nonetheless it still stays cute, funny, and sad.
