All kinds of things that I feel are very familiar. Another best friend who is a boy, maybe something will develop there, who knows.I may not find out, because I probably won't read volume 2. Some miraculous, unbelievable event happens that brings girl and boy together. Girl is hardworking, a little plain, a little pretty. The story feels very cookie cutter, although quirks are added to characters to try and make them different. I didn't go into this one with much expectations and the story didn't do much for me regardless. A character may lose a shoe, guy may be a kind of royalty (famous), and the girl is hard working-but things are very different. S So, I saw that this is a kind of retelling of Cinderella, but it's a pretty loose retelling. A nutshell summary: Girl is hardworking, a little plain, a little pretty.
