This is my first time reading Mikimoto-sensei’s work, and I found Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight somewhat reminiscent of the Goong manhwa by So Hee Park. So if you’re interested in a Cinderella romantic comedy and don’t mind raunchy humor, you can give this title a try. There are, however, quite a lot of panty shots for a shojo title. However, unlike most stories that fall into this trope, neither character is in desperate or extreme circumstances so there’s not a lot of high stakes drama. Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight is yet another Cinderella-type manga with an ordinary high school heroine and a gorgeous celebrity.

I would recommend this to someone who loves good artwork and doesn't mind a predictable shoujo. It may take a couple more volumes for the story to grow on me, but as of now I have too many other manga I want to read. I think that this volume missed that mark. That job consists of setting a larger story, creating a connection with the reader, and making the reader want the next volume. I feel that the first volume has a very big job to accomplish. That is never a good sign when I am reading a manga. However, I don't see myself picking up the 2nd volume anytime soon. I give it a two stars because the art is phenomenal and I kind of liked the two best friends of our girl MC. I ended up not being a big fan of the story or the main characters. Which I wont spoil what those are.just all in all the story is, The "quirks" that are meant to make our main love birds different or unique end up making them unlikeable to me. 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. So, I saw that this is a kind of retelling of Cinderella, but it's a pretty loose retelling.
