Meet Natsumi Kawashima, a homely fifth grader with a craving for curves of her own. One day, after eating a packet of mysterious pink nuts, her wish comes true and she is transformed into a beautiful, sexy woman! Now endowed with a mind for recess and a body for supermodel glitz and glamour, will Natsumi find happiness or heartbreak as a result of her newfound adulthood and sudden legion of fawning admirers?

Review:

I find this manga book so cute and funny! *Hahaha* though I wish Natsumi should enjoy being young… isn’t it astounding if you’ll just see yourself grow each day and never be impatient for you to grow old.

For me, life is about seeking different things for yourself that will make you a better person. There’s no rushing for things like this. One day, this will all happen! You’ll get the curves that you want… the happiness for your own self. The idea of knowing that someday I know I’m a better person because through the circumstances that happens for you during this time will be the foundation for the future.

And I just really don’t see why 5^th graders like her wants to grow up so fast. As what I can see, this is also the reality banging today! Some young teens already want to grow old by wearing heavy make ups, they also want to have a boyfriend (though they really don’t get what does it mean *in my own thoughts hehe*) it’s just getting more not particular that these young people should enjoy for the things that they have right now.  

For the conclusion, teens like Natsumi should learn to be content in every way. Things are not that slow, they should not rush things. And for the mean time, they should just enjoy the things around them and be thankful for what they have.
