i don't..eh...i wanted to like it bc she had a different personality, but...eh, it just reminded me of that other story with the same plot; young girl with older guy writer and i didn't like that one, so this one didn't sit well with me either...maybe if there was more development? i'm not sure, the story just didn't sit well with me.
Oyome Ni Ikenai!
im so uncomfortable with this; i read it, i really did and i tried to keep an open mind, but i can't! they look like siblings and i just can't. they feel more like family to me and i can't. guys, i tried. but i can't. i want to know the ending, but each chapter gets harder to read. idk if they made him look older? or her look younger; not sure where my problem lies; age gap=10 years

this was horrible; it was like one of those banned books. every convoluted plot twist that could happen, happened. personally, this was not love for me; this felt more like dependence. i just have this thing where i like it when they only have sex with the one they like, instead of just whoever and whenever. i did like the artwork and the historical setting though.
Ai Ni Chimayoe!
Living no Matsunaga-san
Girl goes to live with her uncle who runs a shared house, on the way she meets a strange guy. Turns out, surprise, surprise, it's one of her uncle's tenants. She's surrounded by new, different, and older tenants , oh how will her life go? - - - It's the epitome of everything that I used to love in shoujo but now can't really read bc I've just read so many similar plots it's become...too predictable and a little bit annoying. I'd recommend it to younger me, but the me now, can't read this without sighing.

oh my goodness. what do I even say about this??? lol I have so many conflicting emotions. Like, I still feel like she's almost cheating him? What with her natural age being 60 and him being 17. And I mean unless it turns out he's also an old man? or she'll stay and age normally like that from now on??? And rei? I also thought they would be together what with the cover being like that, but I hope he remains the ever faithful cupid and gets his own fiance, bc I don't like love triangles. And I just don't know. I like her bc she's brave and cute and not annoying, but I'm also worried about this story, bc I feel like there could be something that makes me hate it considering that I haven't found a shoujo I liked in a realllly, really long time.

Oh I knew the artwork was familar! It was the lady that drew Coffee and Vanilla! Super shoujo at your service. Tbh, I was looking forward to character development. Her being less of a prissy queen who always got what she wanted. Him being serious and showing her that you shouldn't fool with people's feelings. but, alas, it remains as a oneshot.

im so conflicted about this manga! I kind of ship them, but then it's like ehhhh they're more parent x kid and my lolicon radar is going off and i just don't know...I wish she just looked more mature? or was older? I just keep getting this uncomfortable vibe, but then they're like cute and the story is so well written, but I'm still uncomfortable, but I want to know the end??? lol.
