Volume 1
Nicole Hayes sure likes to daydream and who can blame her? She studies a subject she has no interest in so she can satisfy her mother, and she works part time as a receptionist to satisfy her growing debt. But when she's alone with her notebook, she crafts a fantastic story and lets her imagination go-go-go! Meanwhile, her old neighbor Josh pines after Nicole's every step but just can't seem to snap her out of her daydreams and get her to notice him. If only he could see what it was she was dreaming about, maybe he could finally win her over!
From the creator of the online comic site, felaxx.com, comes a romantic comedy for anyone who has dared to dream about a crazy little thing called love!
Volume 2
Josh and Nicole make amends when Josh accidentally reads Nicole's diary--and is amazed by the incredible worlds that she's created inside her head! When he convinces her to submit the story to a fantasy magazine--and manages to get her to let him be her editor--sparks begin to fly between them. But Nicole is torn between focusing on her new-found attraction, and her new-found creative outlet.
"Fans of Labyrinth, The Neverending Story and The Princess Bride will find a pleasant read in Sorcerers & Secretaries." -IGN
This is really a romantic comedy manga, not a fantasy, but I thought it was so cute that I still wanted to review it, even if the "fantasy" was just the story that Nicole was writing in her dream diary.
This is the story of Nicole, a young who wants nothing more than to be able to write down the dreams she has, and to lose herself in books of fairy tales. Even though her best friend thinks she needs to grow up and stop all that silly stuff, and her mom wants her to finish university so she can join the family business. And throw into that mix an old neighbour, Josh, who really has a thing for Nicole, and she really has a thing for him, but he's an outrageous flirt and Nicole has no way of knowing whether he means what he says or not. Plus, spending time with Josh means spending less time with Ellon, her wizard protagonist who still needs to retrieve the half a soul that his familar Sonneth stole from him.
