I reaally enjoyed the anime, so after many years I decided to read the whole manga but after reading this comment section I am really dissapointed :((
like...he doing all those things...I can endure it IF HE HE HAD SOME CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, but after reading in the comments that he didnt...*sigh* I will end so angry If i read that...at least i wished Mei give him a lesson (like breaking up with him) but apparently that also will not happen... so knowing also that, I will not read it :((
(spoilers) I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS MANGA, in every chapter i am crying of how beautiful the main couple is, I love that the manga goes not too slow or too fast, its just perfect
I also really LOVE how this manga unfolds the story, like when we started to know things about Kai, it was about him only for a few chapters then we started to see another things (like the cointinuing of their romance, the copycat, etc) and after many chapters we finally got to see more about Kai....so yeah I dont know if u understand what I am trying to say bcs english is not my first language but I hope I make clear myself ╥﹏╥
other thing I LOVE about this shojo is that after started dating the main couple...we just only dont have scenes about them kissing like all the other shojos (kissing standing up) or normlar hugs....nooooooo we also have backhugs, when he kissed her neck, when they were laying on and he was up above her ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ the french kiss, and much more...so yeah after all the things I said I hope you can recommend me something similar :3

Not really same but it’s good to the point you’ll wish you have bf like them(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I was reading it on the webtoon app like a month ago but even if it was in the category of romance, IT HAS NOT! The only love I saw in the story was the fl or side characters starting to love theirself, but thats it
I never finished but I dropped it because of that
I finished this story in indonesian language (it's already completed for a long time ago, english webtoons is late in translating this), yes it has romance, ML is the make up artist, he had a crush on FL first, and he got jealous when FL dated her sunbae (there's a bit triangle love as well after FL and that sunbae broke up, sunbae want to get back with FL, so ML get in the way), ML confessed his love to FL, there's a lot of scenes where he blushed because of FL, and sometimes they blushed to each other, in the final chapter they officially date each other
The message of self love is indeed the focus of this story, but yes it's still romance, even though the romance part develop really slow, the genre is still romance, there are many shoujo manga that are listed as romance despite the main couple had no romantic feelings for a long time, couple like this are usually those who started as platonic friends, partners, or rivals
For example there's an old shoujo manga that's quite similar to this, the title is 'beauty pop' and it was released in 2003/2004, the main characters (FL and ML) are both hair stylists, it's similar because almost every chapter is about how they make people prettier in some beauty shows to give them confidence and self-love, FL and ML are rivals and they had no romantic feelings at all for a lot of chapters before ML fall in love first and suffered of onesided love and love triangle (his friend had a crush on FL too), ML didn't have a chance to directly confessed to FL when FL had to move overseas near the end of the story, he only hugged her and asked her to wait for him, he didn't specifically said he loves her and they're not dating at all, but suddenly there's 10 years time skip, and they already got married and have kids, you probably won't consider this story as romance, but it's obviously listed as 'romance, comedy, school, shoujo' in myanimelist
plssss (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ I love their dynamic, and that the two have a strong character and are so confident about themselves, they are not really that blind about their feelings and how they love/interest slowly develops for each other ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
