nini's manga / #theatre(2)

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this is one of the best manhuas i've read !! i'm obsessed with this dynamic >< its so unique and interesting ^^ i love the healthy competition they have with each other <3 the plot was pretty simple but it had some realistic and proper conflicts ^^ i love that shu yun's dad had a quick character development and that the conflicts present in this story wasn't annoying at all and they were resolved easily~ i love how supportive tong yang's grandpa with his relationship >< its unfortunate that he died but at least he lived a good life and hes not in pain anymore :(( i also love the wholesome relationship tong yang has with his brother >< they might not be from the same mother but they still love and care each other <33 i'm also glad that as the years went by, his father also got to appreciate and be proud of him when they saw him on tv (╥﹏╥) i love how the author gave everyone a character development (except for lan du lol jshsjjsd but i'm glad he's out of the picture now and hopefully hes moved on already) i love the wholesome relationship shu yun and tong yang have~ you can really feel the connection and how both of them grew feelings for each other ♡ they were both clueless and shy towards one another which caused misunderstandings but after being together, they were so fluffy and adorable >< though i wish we got to see more of their sweet/fluffy scenes but they're mostly cute and fluffy and i understand that there aren't any visible kissing or whatsoever bc this is a manhua :> but i'm glad that the author gave us a 9-year time skip which gave me butterflies bc i just love seeing the growth and maturity they now have ㅠㅠ esp with them finally living together waaa >< tong yang's brother is also grown up now and i'm proud of him too i also love how the author showed some backstory behind the side couple ^^ you you is such a great friend i'm glad that he's always there to support and take care of shu yun (´ω`) he is indeed like a mother to him~ overall this was such a wholesome and adorable read <33 i immediately got hooked bc i've never had this type of pairing before and i really like how healthy their relationship is esp with them being competitors of each other ^^ all the characters are lovable and fun to read and again i like that each one of them had some character development :> the ending was so sweet and heartwarming ♡ plus the side stories were adorable, we got to see a glimpse of their domesticity >< (wish we got to see moe though ackk) the art style is very pretty too it has a warm vibe and i just love how gentle and gorgeous it is ❣️ this was a literal hidden gem bc why did i only encounter this story now !! it's amazing and definitely a reread material

i didn't expect to find this hidden gem waaaa >< this was so good !! the vibe throughout the story was very melancholy and bittersweet i'm glad it had a good ending ^^ i agree with the reviews, this indeed reminded me of romeo and juliet~ their story isn't just about them falling inlove but finding freedom in each other's arms ㅠㅠ they both feel like they didn't have a home but they ended up finding home in each other :(( i wanna cry the plot is so good i think there could've been more improvements here and there but i mean the execution is amazing i love it <33 i wish we got to see more extras after they eloped but i was pretty satisfied at seeing them finally freed from their parents' expectations and living their life how they wanted (╥﹏╥) the development felt pretty quick but its bc mangas are always short but i still felt their deep connection with each other ^^ i didn't expect youhei to become like that, i thought he'd be a good friend but he's actually also like yuuki's father who's pressuring him to become mature and to just focus on studying :< we didn't really get closure with their parents but i'm glad that they at least had some realization towards the end :)) overall this was a very heartfelt read~ this deserves a higher rating pls !! my only wish is to see more domestic and wholesome scenes from them since their romance were filled with a slight of bitterness at the beginning which is why i'm so happy that they finally got the freedom and happiness that they deserve the art style looks old but this is actually my type so i love it this was a great and bittersweet read !!
