ok so im having a hard time to rate this bc im torn in giving it either 4 or 5 stars, i think plot wise it was like a 4.5/4.8 bc i really like arranged marriage plots but there were just some parts that felt a bit dramatic to me since all of this was happening while theyre still 16 and 18 year olds so i just find some scenarios a bit weird and over the top for me, also there were quite a lot of crying involved which just irked me but ig some parts were adorable <3 tbh the development of sachi's feelings were quite fast for me and i didnt really feel the connection at first but as i read they become more cute and fluffy a lot of parts felt so cringey to me which actually shocked me bc i used to love these types of mangas but after reading a bunch of other genres i just felt that my palate changed i like MLs like kouichi even though at first he might sound like a jerk bc he looks like he doesn't care abt sachi but thats bc of his circumstances and he was forced to grow up like that by his grandpa which is just sad :( i felt like there could've been more to the reconciliation of him and his grandpa bc i felt like their conversation was short and i wanted them to build their relationship more but i mean im glad that the granda finally recognized his mistakes and apologized to kouichi plus he gave them a stunning wedding ceremony i actually enjoyed reading this, i wasnt really bored and i liked their dynamic <3 i really loved the timeline type of ending pls i felt emotional it was so so cute ☹️ i just love when authors those types of endings, i think it was perfect as for sachi, i felt like she was a typical MC but im glad that she wasnt as weak and dumb as the others, shes actually very capable and smart so i really liked that abt her she was also very straightforward at times, and she always initiates communication when she feels like something's up :> all the characters are likable but ngl i still feel weird abt mizuho, im confused abt her feelings ?? she always blushes around kouichi but the author didnt explicitly say if she had feelings for him ?? i wished her and the class pres got together though, theyre quite a chaotic duo ❣ the plot was fluffy but it still had some drama and conflicts in it which i liked, i love how kouichi opened up to sachi and became more clingy to her when he finally confessed his feelings now that i've written my comment i would say that i guess i want to rate this 5 stars just bc its hard to find these types of healthy and fluffy romance with arranged marriage as its main plot :> this was a good and fluffy read + the art looks absolutely adorable

this was such a healthy and fluffy relationship for an omegaverse i didnt expect it to be this sweet and wholesome >< ngl i alreadt forgot most of the beginning parts bc i read it quite a while back but i could kind of recall it after reading the new chapters for an arranged married couple in an omegaverse setting, i really thought there would be tons of drama so i was really suprised to see how inlove and respectful the couple are to each other (❁´◡`❁) its so cute to see how supportive their friends and family are !! overall it was a cute story for an omegaverse <3 really appreciate the author for making it so fluffy and wholesome i wish we could've seen some babies but im really liked the ending ^^ the art's very pretty esp the chibis and blushes ~ good read !!

Last Portrait

Complete | Honma Akira | 2005 released

i've got to say abt this bc this was so freaking good i didnt really expect much bc of the rating but omfg yall this is so so good !!! this is not your typical bl plot istg ㅠㅠ the angst in both stories im so into it grrrr >< ok so for the first story, i really like arranged marriage plots in general but this was a bit dif from that since yamato is inlove with the guy his sister is arranged to which is so interesting esp how we got to see how their relationship unfolds !! ngl i did already expect that type of scenario leading up to the end but i still really really liked it ^^ the execution of it is so good, i really liked how the author incorporated yamato's love for art as the bridge between him and sakaguchi (idk how to explain it but you'll get what i mean when u read it ) im glad that nobody was hurt in the process and yamato's sister was actually inlove with somebody else as well :D the ending was so freaking cute :( i love them !! ngl i wanted to see more but i was actually satisfied with its ending !! just seeing them happy and living their life without shackles gives me serotonin ok now onto the second couple, omfg i freaking love them ㅠㅠ i think i like them more than the first one just bc it had more plot twists and the amount of angst and tension i felt in the short amount of pages were amazing like i didnt expect that much story in just a few pages !! i was legit gonna cry when narumi confessed bc ik it wont end well and that he'll prolly live in sadness of keith gets executed :( but omg im so glad that it wasnt keith, i had a gut feeling that it wasnt gonna be keith but i didnt expect joerge to be the real culprit like i was legit crying bc i felt kind of attached to him idk why (╥﹏╥) he looked so nice and he felt like some father figure, it was such a shock to me ☹️ anyway im so so happy for narumi and keith they look so cute together >< i just love police bl idk why theres something abt it that intrigues me im so glad that theyre now partners both at work and in their personal lives hihi ^^ i wish we could've seen more of them dating and stuff but overall i was pretty satisfied with the ending !! both stories are a masterpiece as well as the art style i'll prolly reread this such a worth it read !!

Muri Marriage

Complete | Itsuki makoto | 2019 released

i didn't expect to like this bc even though i did have an arranged marriage phase i just thought this would be too forceful esp with the tradition thing involved but to my surprise they actually ended up being so inlove with each other ^0^ i love how their parents let them live together in tokyo so that they'll be more comfortable with each other (though i must admit it was still pretty forceful lol) ^^ i love how respectful chikage is !! he never forced momoki to do it until he was ready~ he even made a how-to-do list on how to successfully do it with one another >< they both did it with consent and they were also both okay with their positions which is great :)) i love how we really got to see how their feelings were formed and i really felt how much they loved each other ^^ i also like how tabata wasn't annoying and instead of pursuing momoki, he still stayed to be his bestie (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू) i also love how chikage went back to his parents to officially ask momoki's hand in marriage and they also got married again (for real this time ㅠㅠ) overall this was really adorable and funny !! <33 i really liked how it had a great balance between the comedic atmosphere + romance side ^^ i also really love the extras ^0^ this is one of those stories wherein i'm pretty satisfied with its ending bc we really got to see it all :DD i wish we got to see more dosmesticy after they got officially married but i mean they were already pretty domestic since the beginning (≡^∇^≡) plus the extra at the end was pretty domestic too >< i'm just happy for them the art style is gorgeous as well !! this was a great read !!
