Kiyoko Arai: Beauty Pop

Overall Rating: 3 or 4/5 stars (first 2 or 3 books are really good, but by the 4th it's starting to turn into a normal shojo comic)
Title (Japanese): ビューティーポップ
Author (Japanese): あらいきよこ
Author (English): Kiyoko Arai
Publisher: Flower Comics (Ciao)
Summary: high school comedy about a laid-back hair styling genius and the unwanted rivalry with an older classmate at her school. Fun, especially the refreshingly blase main character. She's great.

Currently there are 4 books out.

I adored the first book because of the main character. But there are a lot of cliches in this book (flamboyant, super popular antagonist; the human computer side kick, etc.) and in the fourth book a weak love triangle (square? hexagon? weak on all but 1 side) is shaping up so I'm losing a little interest.
