content: I picked this up since it had pretty favorable reviews. Having finished it I can say it was worthwhile to buy. There are a lot of good tips and advice for writing stories regardless of genre. I'm not even sure why it's labeled as "Shojo" outside of being part of a series since the tips are applicable for all genres. It's divided into short easily-digestible chapters that you can try out once you're done and it does a good job building on ideas each chapter. My only caveat is that the translation isn't very good in places and some phrases come off as too generic or repetitive. While reading it I kept feeling like there was probably more subtle aspects to each lesson that didn't make it through translation.
