uotoni's manga / #Female Protagonist(3)

Lady Baby

Ongoing | JU Hyeon, Pingmin | 2000 released

Ch 222 is missing. FL is reincarnated into a babbbby, hence the name I guess. Prior to reincarnating, her father was killed, and while investigating her brothers were killed. Then her mother fell sick but died because public opinion had been turned against her family and no one would help. After her mom's death a war started and people died outside of her house. She and a trusted knight buried the 2 dead people and she sang a folk song for them (a folk song here seems to just mean any song that is not a hymn. Folk songs are banned by the temple and so singing one was basically blasphemy, however a strange girl shows up and gives her a "gift " and asks her to song for them again. That gift was the reincarnation...and the ability to do something with mana or magic or ether...I dunno... with her singing. Anyways, her first words were literally a few sentences to her family about how grateful she is for them and for being born. They just consider her ultra intelligent, but she's just determined to change events so that no one she cares for dies. Most of the story so far she is a child, she ends up beloved by everyone, somehow ends up with a salon that happens to be where the next event of the magic power stuff will take place, has lots of people adore her...especially the young duke who seemingly remembers his past life and thus kept his distance from her to keep her safe most of the story. She wants to destroy the temples power so she uses her idolhood to sing folk songs and popularize then until the temple can't ban them. The emperor has been using that temple to control the nobility and he's all mad. Also he promised to abdicate the throne to his nephew, the young Duke, when He came of age since it was supposed to be his from the start but he is scheming ways to keep it. FL and he are in love, yay, and finally admitted to it just before the chapters I caught up to. This story is good, the art is cute and very good. I think the childhood portion was so long that the singing part seemed to come out of left field. There are also some parts where the translation made it difficult to understand what was actually going on. They're still only like 15 years old, I think. 4.8/5

Sigrid

Ongoing | Siya 시야 | 2019 released

If you see anything translated by "endmanga" just close it and wait for a different translation. Its unbearable. FL was the most dedicated strait-laced and obedient knight to the Emperor, but still ends up executed for no reason. So, when she’s reincarnated, she wonders why she has to live that way again. She could save those knights who were friendly to her when she knew that they were going to die, and she could actually buy a house instead of living in the most measly apartment money could buy, and she could wear…gasp…a dress or even new clothes in general. But because she didn’t do any of that in her previous life, she’s totally inept. Art is okay, story is okay. I like it so far. It’s got some comedic moments. 4.8/5
