uotoni's manga / #Adorable(21)

This was one of my all time favorites on Webtoon! Such a cute romance!

My all time favorite manga. I read this from Middle School until it finished when I was in high school. I'm a Kyo stan. The story is far superior to so much other anime and manga out there, and still holds up to this day, which is why the anime is doing so well. I learned so many great moral lessons from this manga, and developed my love of manga from this manga and this author.

FL was a knight who only lived for money. She joined the black knights and didn't flinch when her colleagues died, nor did she refuse to assassinate members of the royal family she was supposed to protect. The commander of the black knight is a dick and made her assassinate a prince just to kill her right after throwing the money she was owed on her dead body. Then she woke up as a knight trainee again but with a magic mark that the dragon god thing bestowed on those who needed it at difficult times in the kingdoms history. Hers is a time stigma, and it doesn't do anything now, but she has to hide it because only royals usually get them and they are usually viewed as a bad thing. Anyways she decides to be a red knight this time and not live for money and kill people nonchalantly. She starts making friends and preventing their deaths, even befriending the red knight commander who falls for her pretty instantly. He so cute. Black knight commander is evil af and manipulating 1st prince into becoming emperor. Lotsa stuff happens. A shit ton. There was a dragon slaying, drugs the exploded people, nearly freezing to death, etc. Right now, they are fighting a monster mob and FL rides off to fight alone. Also princess with foresight saw something urgent and left palace hiding spot with boyfriend knight commander guy. Anyways, art is great. Story is great, if not action heavy and dramatic as hell. I really like their romance. 4.85/5

FL was originally a zookeeper and dies cleaning out the area of her fave animals-the predators. When she awakens, she finds out she has been reincarnated into a crow. Not only a crow, but in a fantasy world with ogres and beasts. She ponders the idea of living like a crow, but decides to find some human to make her a pet so she won’t have to struggle for survival. That’s when she stumbles upon the golden haired prince who is a capturable character in an otome game she played in her previous life. Problem is, she played it 3 years prior and couldn’t remember too much of the game. What she did know is that if she left him there, the prince would die because the ogres were just around the corner. So, even though he curses at her, because Crows are the bird of death, she distracts the ogres and saves the prince. Then she gives him healing herbs, and food, and helps him out more, and eventually the prince grows fond of her…as a bird pet. She even gives him the special fruit that she remembers in the game will help him awaken his wolf spirit so he can fight for the throne his brother tried to kill him for. After that, he brings her to the palace as his most precious pet, and she eventually meets more capturable characters…as a crow that cannot communicate. However, when one of those characters gives the prince another kroban fruit, not knowing he’s awakened, the crow instincts take over and she eats it. AND VOILA The crow is now a human and can romance the prince. Except, it’s an otome game, and the true main character is bound to show up eventually. I actually really like this a lot. The story is cute, the main character is silly, and the art can be really good. There are a lot of comedic moments, and some needlessly dramatic moments. I do feel like, at times, the story forgets where it started [i.e. is that brother still cleaning the storage room all these chapters later? Like seriously where did he go?] I like how some of the moments that you’d expect to be dramatic played out. I’m anxious to see how the ML reacts when he finds out what she’s been hiding… 4.8/5 Update: the newer chapters are getting a bit bland. Still worth reading but more of a 4.5/5 now

How was that the ending? No really how? It felt so abrupt with no warning. Did the author or artist just get tired of it? FL is a tattoo artist who is also a food lover. One day, while eating food and reading the last chapter of a book about a prince who has ptsd from being poisoned by his step mom his whole life and loses his sense of taste and also turns villainous, she hears a noise outside. When trying to find the source, she trips on a fairy and falls down the stairs. The fairy uses a dragon scale meant to get her the cure for the princes taste problem to cure fl, but her soul absorbs it and she disappears to the world of the book into a body of a plant magic user who had just died. The fairy stays by her side and she starts a fruit business because fruit is too expensive in this world and she has magic. The prince who has ptsd has a aide who bought fruit from her because all ml eats is fresh fruit and veggies.magic can only be used in this world based on the magic you are born with, and you use jewelry with magic circles in them to use it. Except, FL can't stand this unblemished body being free of her tattoos, and decides to test out if tattooing the circles could let her use other magic types. And she can because the dragon scale gave her special abilities. Soooo she uses those abilities to cook. She makes lunch boxes. She also invites ml and his friends to live with her when she found out they were living outside. She promised the fairy she'd help ml with his eating problem and though they got off to a rocky start, he ate all the delish fruits and veggies. They leave for monster subjugation, and some pretty duke guy sends servant to get lunch box he's been hearing about. This duke is food obsessed. But he usually won't eat the same thing twice. Because she was sold out, the servant kidnaps her off to the duke's mansion and they force her to a cook a huge one for him. He eats it well, gives her jewels, and then forced her to come back daily. She at first is glad to see his reactions, but he keeps trying to commandeer her time and food and she wants to not work for only nobility. She refuses an offer to work at the mansion, he builds her a kitchen. ML and friends come back, and she uses leaving with them as an excuse to ghost the duke. (I have a feeling this will end poorly because now he doesn't like any other food). FL, just before leaving, finally succeeded in getting ml to eat something other than fruits and veggies, mostly cuz he is falling for her. It's just icecream, but it was a cute moment. Now, on the trip, he os to the point where he can ear cooked food if it's the one she was just eating. The encounter a monster, and the shock makes her vomit and he freaks out thinking she has been poisoned. She reassures him that she hasn't been and that she wants to continue on the journey. Then, he gets drunk and asks why she looks at him so affectionately and asks if she is his girlfriend before passing out. This is around where I left off. The art is okay, not 100%. The story is 100%. The FL has more personality than a lot of main characters in other isekai, and her real world experience and personality don't change in the isekai world which is a nice change from other stories. I really enjoyed this story so far. 4.9/5

Supposed to be some extras but the main story has been completed. FL remembers her past life when she falls off of a statue as a kid. She used to be a worker at a clothing company but didn't get to succeed in being a designer like she wanted. In this life, she ends up running off to a merchant city and proposing her innovative ideas (for the time) to the # 1 merchant monopoly guy, Lester. Lester turns her away because she didn't want to show the guard at the door her idea, and said it made her look like a swindler. The guard at the door is a good guy who takes her in to live with him and his adopted siblings he also took in off the streets. Yuri designs him some pants that night and when Lester sees them he is impressed and asks her to become his designer but sue wants to be a business partner, not a regular employee. To do so, in this historical misogynistic society, she would have to be a male. So she cross dresses and her designs sky rocket and make Lester's store a success. The queen/empress (she is referred to as both sometimes) Cecia conquered the 99 nations and united them and everyone wants her to get married so they can have a man I'm charge but she is more concerned about needing comfortable clothes. Corsets are the height of fashion, and she can't even eat or sleep comfortably. So she sends her adopted brother, the traitor who killed his own father to give her the magical chalice that would force people to bend to her will so she could rule the Nations, Aenon to find a designer to make her a comfy dress. When buying jello, aenon who was buying them all runs into Yuri who charms her way into getting one from him, and he asks if she can refer him a good designer. He doesn't tell Yuri it's for the empress, but still Yuri's design makes the queen want him at the castle. So, Yuri and one of yuri's sisters go to the capital. But Yuri gets into a scandal when one of the assistants faints in the hallway (due to her period pain) and Yuri thinks it is because the corset is too tight and loosens it and when she comes to she thinks Yuri, dressed as a man, has tried to assault her. Yuri tries to get Aenon to help, but he agrees that what Yuri did was wrong. Still, behind the scenes he tries to argue for Yuri to the queen. Yuri decides he can't really rely on Aenon for support, and feels alone. The aide eventually determines that Yuri didn't do it with ill intent and so the queen won't punish Yuri severely, but instead gives Yuri the impossible task of creating a uniform that all the employees would like and for only 1000 monies. The rumors have spread and Yuri is treated like a perv, but still manages to get on everyone's good side. While on a picnic with her sis, her sis runs off and aenon shows up and talks with Yuri and the sudden epiphany occurs after seeing the fine chain that a zipper would make any uniform easier to put on which was all staffs main concern, so aenon introduces the blacksmith who made the chain and the blacksmith makes the zipper for free because he recognizes the knowledge of how to make it is invaluable. The queenis satisfied and makes Yuri a baron or something that forces her to stay in the capital. Lester comes to the capital, and it becomes obvious that he has feelings for Yuri, which she is NOT comfortable with, because although he's given her the opportunities that led to her success, he met her when she was like 10 and he was like 26. Feels so pedo. She avoids it, all while falling for duke aenon and trying to stay on the queens good side. Anyways, Yuri rejects Lester, and he gets distant. Yuri goes on a trip to a region of the south with a princess who is in love with aenon and with aenon, her sis, and the aide who had originally accused Yuri of assault. That aide finds out her gender and becomes like another sis. On a boat ride with some former royal guy the duke aenon hates, that royal guy also figures out the Yuri is a girl and also that the duke likes her. He's been trying to force the princess into marriage, so getting duke aenon out of the way benefits him. So while talking to the two of them about investing in mines and rubber trees, etc, he takes them to a resort. While alone with duke aenon he hints that Yuri is a woman by saying "I don't like northern girls like yuri" or something of the like. Duke wanders off into the jungle to think, and former royal guy tells Yuri he thinks he is lost because he told him her secret or something. And so Yuri chases after him and actually does get lost. When duke comes back to find Yuri gone, he rushes back in and ends up saving her from a river she fell in. He tells her he will give up on his love because she shouldn't have to give up anything for him and she tells him he is stupid and she'll make her own decisions anddd then they are together and sweet and shit. Meanwhile the queen keeps thinking about how she should either marry Yuri or just have Yuri sleep with her until she gets and heir...because she still doesn't know about the fact Yuri is a girl. Anyways, Yuri has to rush back to capital when someone tries stealing business ideas, she settles that buuuuut a natural disaster occurs in the south destroying the mines she invested in. Lester buys her debt but has to force her to be just an employee instead of a partner. She complains to aenon, who offers to pay off the debt because he signed as her guarantor, but she refuses, saying that if she used him as such she would only see her failure every time she looked at him. She wants to marry him on her terms and not use him as a means to run away. He said he doesn't car what she does, he'll be on her side, and will be so happy if what she wants is to marry him someday. Meanwhile, queen is moving forward with her idea of marrying Yuri. Aenon had mentioned once bringing it up to the queen that he was in love with Yuri, but i guess that never happened. Because at the big festival banquet, the queen pull Yuri into a room alone and asks if Yuri wants to marry her. Annnnd that where we are now. The art is really good quality. There was a missing chapter I had to go find elsewhere. Overall I really enjoy this story. I like that they called out how pedo behavior it was that Lester was interested in Yuri, but then it felt like they tried to get us to forgive him for it in the very next scene so I don't know. He literally thinks to himself that he could have kept her locked up all to himself. Fucking weird. Also, I saw a ton of "fuck the queen" comments prior to reading and I can't understand why. The queen seems bad ass to me. Sure she has some bad traits, but she literally isn't the antagonist (yet). I imagine that could be coming when she knows the truth, but honestly she just seems like a woman sick of it all. I also think it's funny how obsessed Yuri is with making tampons and thinking about using the rubber trees to make condoms so she can have non disgusting contraception so she can sleep with her new boyfriend. Lol. Anyways, cute story so far. 4.9/5

FL is isekai'd into a book she was reading as a throwaway character who lives luxuriously beyond her family's means, Izelle. FL's family took out loans to fund her lifestyle and now they're in severe debt. Her father and mother love their daughter to the point of being enablers. The loan shark gives them 2 months to get the money, or he says he'll take our FL. So FL sells all her luxury shit, then sees a flier offering 1 million monies reward for a missing child. The child happens to be the main character of the book, and she knows where to find him. The dump. She finds him, but he is super sick so she takes him home first. He can't remember anything, and bonds with her and her family right away. Then she takes him to the Duke, aka his uncle. But the Duke's been scammed several times with magic tools and so they have a potion they feed to the kids to get rid of any spells to change one's appearance. So, when FL, who is rumored to be a money hungry person in debt, comes and magically has a child that's supposedly the nephew, the Duke is suspicious of her. But the potions fell and broke and another wouldn't be available for a month, so he tells her he won't pay her until he can prove it and demands she leave the boy there. She refuses to leave him, and kiddo refuses to stay without her so the duke forces them both to stay for a month. Meanwhile some sketchy guy is plotting to find and kill our little guy. Anyways, they stay at the mansion and he keeps his butler and servants watching her like a hawk. Blah blah blah, he falls for her, finds out the boys is his nephew, convinces her into a contract marriage, and the sketchy guys servant is stuck as a cat. Also, the books female lead is also a child and her first meeting with the prince resulted in them throwing hands, but she's going to be staying at the mansion after the wedding while her mom recuperates elsewhere. Currently, Duke plans to go on date/outing with Lizell and the kiddo. Also Duke loves her, and she doesn't like him back yet. The art is decent, the story is cute and silly. It's a good, non drama, wholesome read so far. 4.85/5

FL is some noble whose grandpa dropped her off at a farm as a kid so he could go hunt for treasure. She quickly is discovered to have a green thumb. When gpa picks her back up she doesn't want to leave. She dreams of the day she can have her own farm but she is the heir to whatever noble title the gpa holds. So she worked at a bank until gpa came back with a deed to some land and says she can finally have a farm. Issue is, it's on a plot of land the emperor wanted to demolish to expand the palace. So it's right beside the garden outside his bedroom windows. He and his friends and advisor mistake her intentions when she refuses to sell and vacate the home as someone trying to intentionally drive up the price. But one by one the friends come and partake of the food and her company and get her help and they all change their minds. The emperor even gets her help disguised as a knight. Butttt he still won't support her openly yet. He does catch some girls trying to ruin a tea party by eating all her foods the night before, but still as the knight. He is stubborn. Anyways, the villainess girl is abused by her fam emotionally and was just given some concoction to put in our FL's cooking to ruin her. Fam said they'd kick her out if she doesn't become the empress basically. The translations on the newer chapters aren't the best, so I'll wait for official translations. I left off at ch 38. I like this story so far and love the art. It's so cutest. Makes me think of a farming Sim somehow. Hahaha. I honestly think that, so far, this one is 5/5

Super wholesome! FL is an 8 year old girl whose mother is a former noble who married a man who ran off with all their money and left them destitute. FL works every single day and her mother becomes a drunkard and occasionally beats her. She still loves her mom and thinks she is like a goddess among humans because she is so pretty. She forgives her for everything because "she's going through alot". Her mom even tells her that she would have been better off if FL was dead. Then suddenly one day, FL's mom wakes up in a panic and her whole demeanor changes. She hugs and shows a ton of affection for her daughter suddenly. She thinks the alcohol finally made her mom crazy. But really her mom traveled back in time after being killed in the future. FL still doesn't know that. Her mom says she needs to meet the emperor and needs the hidden money our FL has been saving for rent. When FL refuses she pretends to be okay with it but then steals the money and disappears. After working that day, mad for the first time at her mom, FL is approached by a coach and a guard. They manipulate her by saying her mom is sick so she can go to the palace with them. Her mom ended up signing a contract marriage agreement with the emperor and now she is a princess. The contract is only until the crown prince, the emperor's nephew, comes of age and can take the throne. Meanwhile our FL wins the hearts of literally everyone. Took the crown prince a sec and he stood her up at a tea party, but now he's a protective older brother. She seems to have a 6th sense for danger and senses when someone has really bad intentions or when something really bad may happen. She meets the son of the family that is pretty much the princes enemy and has been attempting to assassinate him, and has a crush on him. The maid girl is descended from a family of crows and is my favorite. The crown prince misunderstood the emperor this whole time because he thought that was who was trying to kill him. But our FL and her mom are stirring things up and fixing relationships. FLs mom and the emperor seem to be....ahem...having a lot of meetings and getting bullied quite often. Hahaha. I love how this is seen through the naive eyes of a child and how much comedy that brings knowing what she is oblivious to. Anyways, just left off with the fjord kid and crown prince coming face to face and the FL breaking up the fight and forcing Fjord to let her treat his injury from where the prince punched him. I love this. I wasn't sure that ai would from the start, but it is such a refreshing take following the kid of the person who was reincarnated and in a contract marriage rather than the person themselves. FL is so oblivious in the most wholesome of ways. Honestly, I can finally give another 5/5*
