Aqua Mizuto

When I finished this short manga, I was torn between wanting more and being satisfied with how it ended.

Rin is the owner of the Yume Kira Dream Shoppe where, "...any dream can be made true in exchange for something dear to you." The manga has typical shoujo elements, however, its main message is not "love at all costs" bur rather "hope" and in each of the four short stories presented in this volume, hope does indeed take the center stage.

In the end, the reader is left wondering, "Who is Rin?" Is she really just the owner of a mystical shop in the sky? A goddess (she does answer calls that start with, "Dear God")? Or maybe a personification of the determination that lies within us ("us" referring to both animate and inanimate objects) to change our own destinies? Or perhaps I'm overthinking it, haha, but I really did love this manga. It's definitely now one of my personal favorites. :)… (meer)
