So when I saw this Del Ray Americanized anime book in the store, I thought to myself. "My god, can I even turn my head without seeing Avril Lavigne's name plastered somewhere?"

I bought the book, because I’m always keeping an open mind. I must say: it was ten times over what I thought it would be. The pictures are beautiful and the color scale really suites the theme of the story.

What is the story you ask?

Well it revolves around a teenage girl named Hana, who lives her life on the outskirts of everyone else's. She has no real friends, and is subjected to an imaginary one. Only he imaginary friend is different from most because it's Avril Lavigne.

Hana stumbles across a website promising to grant her 5 wishes. When a crate the size of a stuffed animal arrives in a box at her doorstep, Hana is skeptical about the whole issue. The creature’s name is Romeo, and as 5 horns on its head. Everytime Hana makes a wish she must break off one of the horns of the creature.

It's an ok story, nothing extremely special about it, but with the beautiful pictures and nice character personality's, it fits together nicely and works to create and enjoyable story.

The Book gets 3/5 stars from me. It could have had more dialogue, but it was relatable, and isn’t that what makes every story good?
