“Vahilia no Hanamuko” is a collection of four one-shots by Aikizuki Sorata. Sometimes the one-shots in a collection are mixed quality wise, but in the case of this particular one-shot collection you have a series of one-shots that are equal quality wise through the entire thing, not just with character development, but with the art as well as plot development. Each has a unique story that can also stand on its own and it provides a quick read. For the most part all four stories are of the historical, romance and fantasy genre, but one of them has no supernatural elements at all. The settings arebeautifully drawn as are the clothing that the characters wear. There is no real link between all of the stories and yet they have an over all unifying theme. One of the major theme is true love. By this I don't mean soul mates, at least not in the sense that others have come to understand soul mates. By this I mean the two characters truly do love each other. It's also about coming to understand ones romantic feelings for another person, told in a soft manner.
