QQ Sweeper, Vol. 3

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kyousuke Motomo. Her manga sytle and storylines are wonderful. The way she draws awkward expressions always makes me laugh. Definitely recommended, and read Dengeki Daisy, as well!

Left me wanting to know what happens next in a good way. I plan to buy the Queen's Quality books as they come out to continue the story.

A refreshing cleaning oriented manga with monsters. We get the drama going and now it goes to another series??

The art is amazing, the story both funny and touching. I've read all that this author has put out and hope the new series that continues this gets published in the US!

So, first of all, when you get this book, there's a stamp on the back that says "final volume," which makes no sense because you're looking at it going... "There's so much potential here, how could they just end it?" Don't let that fool you. They didn't end it. The next volume of the series is just called by a different series name: Queen's Quality. From what I've gathered about this QQ Sweeper, it seems to be just an introduction series to explains the world and the characters for a much larger series.But this volume... So this was significantly darker than the other two volumes of the series. We were introduced to a character called a "bug handler," which if you've been reading the series pretty much speaks for itself in sinister nature. In this volume Q becomes certain that Fuyu is the girl from his past, without a doubt. And finally, we begin to see the true nature of who and what Fuyu actually is.There's a lot of loose ends, and a lot of things that are just starting. The story does seem to have a good stopping point until the next series begins, though. I really do think this story as a whole has the potential to be something amazing, even if it does span multiple series.

Beautifully written!! The plot is just getting better and better! Loved Dengeki Daisy and I just feel that after that achievement Kyousuke Motomi is upping her game!!

really love this writer read previous works

Updated Review 6/17/23: "Grab hold of whatever it is and start defining yourself! You're not empty, Kaori. This is only the beginning. . . . Dig down deep into yourself and find it!"SO! VERY! GOOD! Just typing out what Fumi said gives me goosebumps all over again because so powerful!Once again I'm surprised how my feelings toward this volume are slightly different (but only by a little bit) compared to when I first read it in that this time the emphasis on truly reaching others with our thoughts and feelings really touched me. I don't feel that's an uncommon "trope" in shoujo manga, but in this one Fumi really did almost reach her breaking point and it felt even more critical that her feelings reach her friend. This series has continuously shown the importance of community and how deeply it impacts us, with this volume being no exception. If it hadn't been for Kyutaro and Granny, I don't think Fumi could have so passionately expressed her feelings to Kaori as she did.And Kaori! What a turn of emotions because I did NOT like her at first, but my heart swelled with compassion for her by the end. (And a surprisingly deep relatable if I'm honest. *hides*)This was definitely the most intense volume out of the three, and can imagine Queen's Quality will be even more so!Also the romance!!! I NEED these two to get together!! Kyutaro is one of the most sweetest and gentleman of a hero I have seen! (He's definitely "rivaling" Leo from the mangaka's other series Beast Master! LOL)Very excited to start Queen's Quality next!Original Review 12/12/22: "Sometimes spite is born as easily as crushing a flower underfoot. You can keep your heart as pure as possible but people carry spite inside them. That's just how it is. But that doesn't mean you can look away from the evil that results from it. That darkness can swallow you up more easily than anyone wants to believe. You have to listen to hear your heart warning you before that happens."I do not have the words to reflect how much I love this series. It has been deeply impactful and almost cried at the end because Fumi's actions are so powerful. And not just her, but Kyutaro too, and this whole cast of characters!Except for the villain, we've met so far. 😐😐😐 (I won't say anything more because that guy makes me seriously angry…)Anyway, this series is super special, and honestly can see it being in my all-time favorites despite that I've only read it once. I realize this is a romance, but I DO think this story shows the importance of community and depending on one another. Deeper still, being honest with your real feelings despite if the words aren't perfect because your REAL feelings reach those around you.Granted, that can both ways unfortunately, but I also think it's why the series is powerful too.Maybe that doesn't say much, but this is honestly a series I will reread again because I just feel it hits me on multiple levels that I can't even comprehend all at once. I don't remember the last time a series hit me quite like that. (Coffee Moon is the second closest that I can think of, but I didn't love it the same way with this series even though that IS a good manga.)I'm not sure who to recommend this to, but I will say it's an amazing series and super hyped to see how things unfold in Queen's Quality! I went ahead and bought all of QQ Sweeper and Queen's Quality today because I KNOW this is a series that I'm going to want to reread again to be able to soak in something I missed the first time (and soak in again things I read the first time).
