stressedpenguin's manga / #shoujo(19)

Dropped at ch 11. Uhh some gods have contest to become the next sun god and need this girl for something. I just dont have the patience for this one rn. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ -/10

Dropped at ch ... vol 1. Uhhh this just didn't... do it for me. I was bored and everything felt so shallow I couldn't bring myself to keep going for another 12 volumes. Also the twist at the end of vol 1 just made me go "oh my god not this" which is never a good sign. So yeah. Pass. -/10, but for the first volume I read, 3/10

Playboy high schooler's aunt disappeared, leaving behind a little girl. To teach him some responsibility, our playboy MC is put in charge of the little girl, and he quickly becomes attached to this cheerful young girl who deserves so much better than a mom who runs out on her Update ch 14. Starting to try and tackle some really heavy themes (child abuse and suicidal ideation). It's not the best handling, but I'm overall happy. Not that I'm an expert. I'm also really happy that the little girl, Yuzuya, continues to be the center of the story and we havent been derailed by a melodramatic love story Update ch 33. Wow that ending is abrupt and a little irritating. I wish the author had the time to follow through with the aunt having to earn back everyones trust in her by being a part of Yuzu's life for more than... like 10 pages??? Clearly the author wanted to fo that but ran out of time. That's gotta hurt Kippri the most. I actually really liked this one. I love Kippei and Yuzu's relationship. I appreciate that Kippei's romance with Kokoro is important but didnt overshadow Yuzu. There were a few dramatic arcs that I'm siffy on (mostly the noncon kiss from that creep). I think the rest of Kippei's family should have been more involved with Yuzu, but at least they weren't completely detached. This is gonna be a hot take but... Yuzu... her personality wound up being pretty bland. She felt like someone was checking boxes of what they think a kid with abandonment issues would look like. I didnt find her on her own particularly compelling. I mostly cared for her because Kippei cared so much for her and I cared about Kippei. Overall, I'd give this a 7/10

Uhh... a LOT happened in this one. Can't say I enjoyed it but cant say I wasn't entertained by some of the bizarre writing choices and revolving door of love interests. 4/10

Dropped at ch 20. Wound up watching the anime since that's complete. Its eh ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Yumelia flip flops between a quirky, fun over powered MC and dumb as bricks to the point of being annoying. The other characters are just kinda there... 4/10, not the worst I've read

Ima be honest, I was kinda expecting the Fairy Doctor to ro more than one useful thing in 15 chapters and also know more about fairies and interact with a lot more fairies. Unfortunately this fell into the trap of the shoujo protagonist cannot do anything so that the love interest can be cool and save her. Am disappointed in the fantasy elements. Also friggin Ermine commits suicide for genuinely no reason other than making the ML sad. Overall, disappointed an annoyed. 3/10, at least she wasnt sexually assaulted

Very cliche bad boy x good girl shojo romance but it's decently executed and short enough that you don't notice how flat the story really is. 5/10

Dropped at ch 5. Is this complete? Dunno. Am I going to complete it if there are more chapters? Nope! This is very much a self-indulgent trope fest for those who love the shojo romance teasing bad boy. There's no substance and no plot, just trope scenarios playing out each chapter and a loooooot of near kisses. 3/10 for being boring

...Clearly I dind't have many thoughts about this bc I forgot to write any down after I initially finished. Uhh this is the one where FL secretly works at a cafe (maid-sama anyone) and the mean student council prez finds out but actually he doesn't because he can't recognize her when she's wearing makeup and put her hair up. It's just five excruciating chapters of him falling for her ponytail persona while ignoring her glasses persona. Not fun. 3/10
