Beauty is the Beast is a manga series by Tomo Matsumoto, currently published in English by Viz Media's Shojo Beat.

Synopsis: When bubbly eleventh-grader Eimi Yamashita finds out that her parents are relocating for work, she decides to strike out on her own and move into a dormitory for girls. Little does Eimi suspect the exciting romantic adventures that await her there! Eimi's fellow residents are a little bit crazy but a whole lot of fun. They've got a secret mission planned for Eimi's new resident initiation...and it has something to do with sneaking into the boys' dormitory across the street and returning with a special keepsake! Can Eimi pull it off without getting caught by one of the handsomest (and cruelest) boys in the dorm?

I really like this, it's only has 3 volumns out right now but it's really interesting and good. And plus Eimi is just so darn adorable.

I have the entire set in Chinese! Total of 5 volumes. I've been trying to tell people to read this!

The interactions in between the characters are brilliant. I've read this many times and can never get tired of it. So funny and cute. It's light-hearted and smart. Not much drama but wonderful to read!

MY FAVORITE MANGA. 2 thumbs up. (I wonder how the English version reads though)

i think so too...the heroine its not just ordinary heroine like we usually know. eimi is just like a child. cute, nice and simple minded

it reminds me wen all her fren matchmaking her wit the boy who she meet wen she learn to make a promotion video....his name hanuki?? damn im forgot!...
i dont know that eimi just a naive persons...she even dont realize that hanuki like her n' jealous wen she hug wanibuchi in front of his eyes!

btw until now, i dont quite clear bout realtionship between eimi n' wanibuchi...is they already official yet??

Eimi is back on action. Beauty is the Beast Vol 4 Ch 1 has just been released by Ivyscan. Head over to their IRC channel (or just go to various manga hosting forums) to get it. I'm downloading it right now, I might re-upload it, if anyone wants me to.

thanks for introducing me to this manga. it's totally fun to read. i love eimi and wanichin...everything about these two characters are great. i hope there is more development in them for the future.

you know, at first it was kind of hard for me to follow this manga but after a while i got use to it. well it's not like i've never read mangas before...because i have but yea...

yence i opened the files and they are working fine for me. try re-dl the files again and then extract it.

well i hope you guys update here.

this manga rocks!!!
