meri's manga / #Strong Female Lead(19)

Mars (SOURYO Fuyumi)

Complete | SOURYO Fuyumi | 2000 released

Has sensitive topics but handles them well, even though the plot can be frustrating at times, Kira and Rei always bounce back and leaves you with a feeling of relief. This manga also gave me a newfound love for motorcycles, they’re just so cool!

This was a really cute manga! Also characters who are rejected and meet up with the people they confessed to and cry or don’t act like they know them are extremely annoying, so I was really satisfied to see the MC call out the one girl on her bullshit in front of his friends.

Definitely one of the best romance mangas I’ve ever read, I really appreciate strong female leads, and the fact that the male lead was strong too made it even better. Their relationship was just goals, I mean he busted into multiple walls for her? Man I wish I had a Hirata in my life.

The idea of devils sending sinners to hell was really interesting, and the MC was really smart in trying to turn the list of potential/future sinners around by trying to prevent them from sinning in the first place. Also one of the devils was scared of girls but since he had to kiss to send them to hell, he was losing in the race to get rid of the most sinners. Very creative and very handsome and cute characters with funny personalities.

Good ending but cliche!! A little boring but the anime was my childhood so I thought I should read it.

It’s been years since this has been updated so I’m assuming it’s finished? Unless the author is pulling a Togashi lol. This wasn’t bad! It’s been a long time since I last read this so forgive me for an inaccurate review, if it is. I adore the characters, and while I may have found myself cursing at many of them, this was a good classic shoujo manga.

This was good!! Got a little annoyed a few times but still worthwhile. It also had cute characters with memorable designs, so that was a plus.
