Covers all three volumes of QQ Sweeper by Kyousuke Motomi Spring is finally here! So Ashley and Laura prepare to start spring cleaning by first reading QQ Sweeper. Which is legit about sweeping. Like, with a broom. A plain old broom. Sure, it's also about exorcisms and supernatural stuff and punching giant centipedes, but mostly, it's about sweeping. And it is SO GOOD. Ashley and Laura get to the heart of what a Cinderella story even is, why this series has a sequel called Queen's Quality, the power of cleaning in real life and in metaphor, and take a quiz on how to properly clean your kitchen. (Sorry. Only your kitchen will be spotless. Kyutaro is very disappointed.) LINKS QQ Sweeper is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat line The sequel, Queen's Quality, is also available from Shojo Beat (currently running series) It's advised that you have already read Motomi's Dengeki Daisy as well, as there are some crossover characters Laura runs this great blog, Heart of Manga If you want to delve further into what makes a Cinderella story The Four Gods (Genbu, Byakko, Suzaku, Seiryuu) Cleaning quiz! Learn how to clean your kitchen Ender's Game and Hive Queens Outro song: “Like Swimming” by Broke For Free, a really awesome electronic music producer your should support!
