Meridian's Manga

Amazing, lovely, cute. A classic for many of us, and rightfully a common favorite. Honestly, romance is mostly a subplot here, which is refreshing because her relationship with her dad is at the forefront instead of getting tossed aside halfway through the story. It's super well-paced, we grow up with our MC without huge time skips or empty filler chapters of her childhood days. All in all one of my all-time favorites.

I ADORE the MC, who is just learning her actual personality after being basically a fighting doll her entire previous life. Great character continuity throughout, the author gives us a really good understanding of her logic and why she does anything. Also, she's a badass. Like, really cool and makes me fangirl. Aside from that, you never really have to debate who the ML is, only one person really makes sense given her personality and everyone is aware of their position. No one's left super upset or pining over the MC. Well, other than the actual ML.
