Full Dozer is a shoujo romance that breaks away from most of the usual tropes. The story is about chasing you dreams and your love, even as they both evolve. It's a very rushed story--especially the last volume--but it works because the characters are just so gosh darn likable. I wanted all of them to be happy, and that makes for an interesting love triangle (eventually rectangle). Also, the story's end is great, even if it comes on too fast. Maybe I really just wanted there to be more Nina; she's a great character and does wonders for the series, but doesn'tshow up until the last volume.

My only real problem (besides the pacing) with this manga is the artwork. Sometimes the characters look beautiful and interesting--after all, they are all in show biz. But every once in awhile, a character's profile in a panel will give him/her a bird-beak nose that looks extremely off-putting, and like it came out of a different manga. That inconsistency I found very distracting.

Still, this is a very enjoyable manga; if you like short shoujo romances with likable characters (no bad-boys or stand-offish jerks to be found!), give Full Dozer a try.
