Pearl Pink doesn't quite nail the dismount the way Omukae Desu does, but despite its flaws, the first two volumes were enough to solidify Meka Tanaka's place on my autobuy everything list. And by not nailing the dismount, I mean some of the narrative obsticles don't arc smoothly; the growth of the heroine into a strong young woman and actor works Really Well, and continues past the point where many shoujo series stop.
King of Thorn is not as good as some of the author's other series -- such as Chikyuu Misaki -- but it's a fun action romp. For extra fun, read it paired with 7 Seeds (in scans for that, as it's unlicensed) for shounen and shoujo takes on very similar premises.
