SharkVice's manga / #War(8)

My summary: In a corrupted Japan, after one of the four kings (the Red king) raids Sarasa's village and kills her father and brother, Sarasa takes on her brother's identity and rises as a rebel leader. It would be fair to say that the Red King and 'Tatara' are destined enemies. However, while they're each plotting and campaigning to kill the other, they end up meeting in disguise and falling in love. One of my all-time favorites. I love the Romeo X Juliet style stories. Shuri and Sarasa both end up taking important people from the other and that just adds to weight of their love. The politics, alliances, and adventures add further richness to the story.

This one is good but 4 stars cause sometimes they drag shit out and I find that annyoing af. I love ancient history tho ;)

I found it similar to Basara (the war plot) and Crazy Girl Shin Bia (the travelling to another world). It felt really cold though so 3 stars.

Amazing story. Prodigal strategist and Unrivaled General fall in love but they're enemies. I watched the chinese drama which tones down Chu Beijie's (the male lead) possessiveness and aggressiveness and makes him a sweet gentleman, but I would've loved to see this manhua completely cover the original novel with the hot-blooded personality Beijie was supposed to have. Unfortunately, this manhua only covers the beginning of the novel.

It's so cheesy that I can't help but enjoy it. The first few chapters were annoying cause Carol has trouble coming to terms with her time travelling and says a lot of dumb shit (aint nobody care about ur American rights in ancient Egypt). Once u get past that, it's a story full of drama and cliches and I just can't turn myself away from it. I love how much Memphis loves her. He turns so cute. I love this manga so much x.x

It was a great story overall. Personally, I find Kishimoto's ability to connect characters to the story unmatched. I had never read a story where all characters were so interwined to each other. Characters from early in the manga were relevant even in the later half of the story or after their deaths. There honestly werent that many characters given the length of the manga but they were all memorable and they were all necessary to the story to the point where if you took one out you would be left with a gap. It was brilliant storytelling and that made Naruto spectacular to me. The only thing that could've been better was the romance as it was something that Kishimoto obviously struggled with but it's not a big deal since shounen manga don't need to be romantic. There are other shounen manga such as One Piece, Dragon Ball, HunterXHunter, and Captain Tsubasa that don't focus much on romance development. Kishimoto still tried though but the result came out bland though the extra episodes after the end of the manga (the shippuden season 21 episodes) have romantic moments worth noting (specially Naruto's wedding).

Love this one. It's realistic but not in a heavy depressing way. There are no real villains or Trashtas (aside from Pauliana's family in the beginning). It's all just about Lucius trying to deal with his unrequited love for Paul and how that clashes with his responsibilities as emperor, while Paul deals with a world that discriminates women and her own prejudice towards women. Lucius is the most unselfish ML. His focus is always on how to make sure Paul is happy even if that means throwing away his feelings for her. The story spawns multiple years and it's great to see how things unfold and where characters end up. The ending is so very satisfying.
