Peony Pavillion is a compilation of very short stories. Surely, the best thing of this manga is the art. The lineart and coloring are downright gorgeous. Oh, and every page is colored, not black-and-white. The short stories are based in poems, so there's not much dialogue, but narration. All the stories are about a couple and their love (note that it's not passional love, but more like the sweet and quiet love) and yearning for each other. One would think that with so little content it would be tiresome, but I've found myself reading it till the end. All in all, I found this manga sweet andrefreshing.
