Tai's manga / #Strong Female Lead(20)

i read this like 10+ years ago. i was so into it. but the drama lied! in the manga all the guys are hideous except shin. in the drama u get tons of cute boys. the DECEPTION. (also no romance in the drama, lame.)

this is the cutest most wholesome romance webtoon ive read so far. I would say its part shoujo highschool romance and part shounen action comic and ALL comedy. Its a bit like Rumiko Takahashi’s works if i think about it. Which is perhaps why i adored it so much. I was a big ranma fangirl back in the day but tbh i liked most of her work, and it had the usual marrying of action, romance, and comedy. like Ranma it does interesting things with gender roles albeit in a very diff way. Anyway altho it was super stinkin sweet, its also really moving and manages to feel light and fun without feeling lightweight and vapid. Furthermore the female lead is Goals and the male lead is the SOFTEST boy. Finally its absolutely hilarious and if this wasnt a korean webtoon it would prob already be an anime cause it would be perfect as one. I would say its tone also reminds me a bit of School Rumble but this one is def better to it’s main female lead but unlike Rumble, the extended cast is def less fleshed out. I do adore all the side and supporting characters but we dont really get to know some of them as much as i would have liked. Two in particular come to mind. But anyway the plot manages to feel fast moving and frantic and while it took me a few eps to catch up with its hectic and “noisy” style, once i did i was really ALL in. this is great for binging and i wonder how the pace would have felt if i’d been stuck reading it on a week to week basis while it was running. At any rate i highly recommend this, and even tho its set in a highschool the actual schooling is barely a factor (which the comic cheekily points out on several occasions). The tongue in cheek take on the many highschool romance tropes is also really fun and never feels overused. I seriously laughed so much! (and also SUCH a happy ending my heart needed this)

i really enjoyed this webtoon and highly recommend it! It has 3 (and eventually 4) couples and one of my fave female leads in a webtoon period. altho it can be quite smutty it also has alot more story and dialogue than sex scenes. so if u just want a parade of filth then this might not hit the spot but if u want a good helping of romance with ur naughty scenes then this should hit the spot! (the art did take me some getting used to tho, it does get alot better as it goes on but yeah i wasnt a fan of it at first and its why i put off starting it so long). anyway this is all very consensual MINUS some dubcon elements (the sex is consensual but not all acts involved are fully consented on, rather its kinda...heavily pressured on the guy). basically almost all the problematic elements are in the femdom couple. which was also the least well developed or realistic of the couples just cause of how over the top the guy was and how disinterested the woman was in even attempting to communicate with him. tbf her intention wasnt romantic or to be a couple at first so...yeah. it didnt Offend me and i did love her whole "im a cool sardonic tall girl" vibe but it was frustrating to see how their relationship was more a source for comedy than actual romance or relationship exploration. they work it out in the end tho so i guess its fine? lol. no complaints at all about the other 3 couples tho. we even get the CUTEST MOST WHOLESOME GL couple in this story among the 4 couples. but yeah all the female charas are great and i woulda recced this just for them tbh.

another fun dynamic where the guy is soft and domestic and likes to be dominated by his free spirited takes no shit female partner. its a cute but ultimately forgettable story. and the art is kinda ugly lol. but i enjoyed it. its an easy breezy read. alas there is no pegging. this guy woulda totally said yes too! (in fact he was perhaps a little too agreeable and mild mannered...) like the guy is a little too much of a pushover sometimes that he becomes pitiable. their relationship basiclaly didnt feel fully equal and it was also too short to rly delve into either character or the relationship as whole. but i did like the gender role reversal and finished it so its ok imo. not good. not bad. just ok.

this was really mediocre and yet i read all of it so idk what that says about me. it's not Bad tho. its just Fine. its a korean webtoon but makes me think of alot of the shoujo mangas i read back in the 00s. so take that as you will. i dont have too many major complaints aside from that it didnt need to be as long as it was and the Female protaganists "best friend" was a piece of shit and i didnt feel bad for him at all even when we learned his sob story. the male lead was sweet though, i thought he would be the prickly imperious aloof type but in fact he's just traumatized and lonely and shy so he grew on me p quickly. anyway i did like the female lead and her confidence but i do wish she had like even One female friend and her family didnt spend so much of the story gaslighting her "for her own good". and ofc with these kinds of stories the romance has to remain chaste. which wouldnt be annoying if not for how insanely horny this poor girl is and she never gets to have her thirst quenched until the very very last part of the story. and ofc it has to end with a wedding cause its not a proper vanilla het romance without one. just seems like a waste of the whole cool vampire conceit if you ask me. idk can lack of ambition be a valid story critique? cause if so...and my other other issue is the main antagonist isnt even a proper antagonists until the very final act and then...nothing rly comes of it? its solved almost immediately once his true evil mwahaha plan is revealed. and also! he isnt rly dealt with? the writer kind of implies at the end he'll fall in love with some weird lolita chick and suffer but its so half assed omg. and why is shitty friend blonde boy the one to give him the Read? ugh anyway. its fine i guess.

a comic that is entirely too long for how little there is of anything happening in it. there's quite a few hot scenes but because there isnt enough variation...nor do the scenes further the (non existent tbf) plot or rly teach us more about the characters after a while. they did at first! but by s3 we are really going in circles with the couples tho at least in the case of the secondary couple of Nari and Hannam their constant bickering followed by rough and or dirty sex is considerably more entertaining to watch albeit not esp deep Either. that said not every smutty love story can move both my heart and my lady bits so if i can get it to move at least one of those i should be grateful ya? In conclusion this webtoon is just Okay. i did enjoy it and nothing was esp offensive about it and in a genre full of problematic bullshit that is truly worth commending. it has some pretty great relationship adivce in it too for those of us whom may need such things lol. so yes i recommend it but its not rly a must read. but if u want urself some het smut that isnt written by men then you rly have few options to begin with im afraid and this is one of the better ones that is also available in english. so...yeah.

this was such a charming surprise of a romance webtoon. i'll give a more detailed review later but i do recommend it. alas its super G rated. not even any hot kiss scenes (unlike the other workplace romance webtoon im enjoying so far A Business Proposal which is able to step into PG-13 territory. we love 2 see it!). anyway this was still pretty nice tho. (i like the comedy in this a bit more too since the antics in Business Proposal are a bit too OTT sometimes esp in comparison to everyone else around the female lead in that). also the kid in this story? adorable!!

this was so beautiful. i will say more later but please do read it! its full series totally free on webtoon english.
