Summary from Tokyopop:
Kenn's Comment: I kind of like Jio better than Hibiki, but Hibiki's Magic is a really cute story. Like, really, really cute. I've only read about... 2-3 chapters or so, but already it's really cute. It'll probably appeal a tad bit more to girls than guys, though that's not saying that it's specifically targeting girls. It's shounen (supposedly) after all.Some of our most cherished manga characters are blessed with magical powers...others have an extraordinary combination superhuman strength and cunning intellect. But Hibiki? Her only real skill seems to be making a pot of delicious tea... Or is it?!
