ALisAnimeLover's manga / #glasses(5)

1-2) Koko kara Dousuru? (What Do We Do from Here?) - 7/10 Asanuma, president of the go club, has a friendly rivalry with Shiraki, vice president of the go club at another school. How will Asanuma react when he learns that Shiraki already has his eyes set on the future? I love the pacing, but it's quite bland. Plain and simple. 3) Kore mo Dousuru? (What Do We Do with This Too?) - 10/10 An extra for the previous story. How will Asanuma handle the obstacle in their relationship called "bad fashion"? A perfect extra dealing with Shiraki's mom's bad fashion style -especially with how invasive it is. 4) Zutto Matteita (I've Always Been Waiting) - 6.5/10 Convenience store clerk x Customer. Riku, a convenience store clerk, has a habit of biting his nails, leaving his nails all-rugged. Takatou, a regular customer, notices this, and starts a unique interaction between a clerk and a customer. The characters were well fleshed out for a one shot, although the love between them weren't quite as fleshed out. Could I just say I hate the senpai? 5) Utsukushii Hibi wo (Beautiful Days) - 5/10 Chiaki, after turning 18, learns that he is to serve as the Inugami's (Touga) wife. What will happen to the two of them? Perhaps a lot. But nothing much happens in the story. The plot seems to be a pilot chapter, given that it was hinted that Chiaki had already met Touga when he was young although it was never actually revealed what happened. Plus, the story ends with Chiaki still uncertain with his feelings, while Touga is willing to wait. This type of plot is overused, although the execution of the story (the pace and everything) makes up for it. 6) Subarashii Sekai (Splendid World) - 6/10 In a world where glasses are no longer solely for eyesight correction, are the glasses really worth it? It has a bit of philosophy given the theme of the story, which is a huge plus for me. Plus, the plot is perfect for a one shot. On the other hand, I dislike how it was addressed in the story that it's weird to suddenly ask out someone you've just met, yet it still ended with a kiss. Seems contradictory imo.

lol, 4 stars because it did convey the story properly :))

Curr at ch2 He's jealous of a 2D character lmao. Love how they didn't do it all the way instantly. Although isn't it awkward knowing your mom's downstairs and the walls aren't soundproof? OOOOH AN UPDATE AFTER 5+ YEARS

I LOVE how they're both mature. This author must like age gaps, lol. The manager was mature enough to resign when he started having feelings. And the idol was mature in his actions, being careful with his advances, knowing his position as an idol and that he needs to protect his reputation. I guess what I liked is how the idol actually wants to be an idol and doesn't say shit like "I'm prepared to leave the spotlight for you" but rather "I'm here in the spotlight, and I'm not gonna let you keep your eyes away from me" Still, there was a part that the plot kinda suddenly jumped. manager: i'm gonna let go; idol: *sings a love song*; manager: nah, scratch that, I really love him which is kinda nice if done correctly, but somehow it feels lacking as if the author was forced to end the manga early so she had to do that :/ I wanna know the love song thooo And totes want the merch if it actually exists

Err, okay? Ch 1-5: arranged marriage (no context) with 2 people falling in love. As cliche as it can get Ch 6: some dude stepping on another dude's contacts then having sex with him as apology. That's it. Ch 7: something about protectors and how the seme's mother is a protector herself and the mom and dad's relationship is illegal, so they shouldn't fall in love, but they do. As cliche as it can get.
