MEIK0TO's manga / #slice of life(20)

Meh, it’s just a mediocre romance story. There is no depth to Yuki and Itsuomi’s relationship. And I find the trope ‘handsome guy who every girl likes, sets his eyes on a shy girl’ to be extremely boring. Y’all only like this story because of itsuomi let’s be fr. You lonely motherfuckers just want a guy like itsuomi to love and care for you, bc you’re nothing special. This is the same case with Yuki, except she’s the main character of a manga. Idk why the fuck Yuki acts like a 10 year old sometimes, is it because she grew up being deaf or something? Itsuomi is really just a guy with good looks, there’s nothing more to him. Apparently he really likes traveling abroad and makes Yuki yearn for him. Their romance scenes are really cliche and bleh. Yuki flinches whenever he touches her. I’d understand if she was startled because she didn’t hear him coming but that isn’t the case, it’s lowkey weird. To y’all, she’s “pure”. To me, she’s immature. Not to mention, Yuki is oblivious af. Cant you see that your male bestfriend likes you? Bruh. I don’t like Yuki and the side characters literally have no personality. And Itsuomi’s whole personality is being handsome. I’ve seen plenty of romance mangas like this, don’t need another copy and paste where FL is deaf. People who like an interesting story with more in-depth relationships can look away. Giving this a bonus star because of the art.

What? 19 lives is a little excessive. Jieum doesn’t even mention any in-depth story of her past lives. In her 18th life, she falls in love with a boy and gets into a car accident and dies while trying to save this boy. If you’ve lived 18 lives, you’ve probably experienced everything life has to give. That’s why I don’t understand why and how Seoha became that special to her. Is it the power of love or something? The author killed her off too early during the 18th life and left an underdeveloped relationship between Jieum and Seoha. When the car accident happened, it was really anticlimactic and I didn’t feel sad at all. Clearly, the author just wanted to get started on the main story as soon as possible. I find Jieum’s efforts to seduce Seoha to be funny. But if I were Seoha, and someone randomly confessed to me, I would think that person is either a creep or a stalker. When Jieum finally revealed that she was Joowon, I expected it to be satisfying but it was lacking. There are a few holes in this manga and the plot isn’t exactly special. Read on Webtoon.

A good but oddly flawed story? Slight spoilers in this comment. Read this manwha on Webtoon. The plot seems so good but there is just so much going on at the same time, and at times that isn’t a good thing. There are plot twists and nerve-racking cliff hangers at every corner of this story. Somehow, it still doesn’t interest me that much. It’s not shocking like “Woah! What the heck was that?!” It’s more like “Wooow! Ok.” From the beginning, I knew that something was odd when I saw that everyone was out to get Yuri. During the arc where Yuri attempted to kill her ex, I thought it was a load of horseshit. And during Victor’s time with Yuri, he defied several “A.I laws” so that made me suspicious if he was a human or not. So if you really think hard about it, the plot twist was a little predictable. I LOVE Heo Yoojin’s character, finally a true villain whose evil without some sort of tragic backstory behind their actions! I hope she shocks me even more with her antics. Victor and Yuri’s relationship is quite.. meh. I know that they have been through a lot together, but due to the fact that he was introduced as an A.I, I can’t feel the deep connection between them. The art is quite bland and sometimes the characters seem expressionless. It also lacks details and depth but it’s passable.

Ugh, the age gap between them is disgusting. Apparently, the relationship doesn’t happen until Sang Zhi is grown up but it gives me the impression that the male lead is a pedophile. Pretend your a 50 year old man that romantically likes this 13 year old girl. However, it’s unusual to date someone so young so you wait for her to become the legal age of 18. That’s the vibe that it’s giving me. I was a little more relieved when I heard Jianxu only viewed her as a younger sister but still.. Story is bland as fuck. Jianxu’s only personality is being handsome. Sang Zhi is so annoying as well, I hate her. Give me back my time, this is bullshit.

This story is so well-thought out and portrays such a meaningful message. The first chapter leaves you numb with emptiness whilst the third chapter delivers the feeling of hope and resilience. The characters within these 3 chapters live in the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima. They face all types of loss and tragedies caused by the effects of the bombing. I think the art is quite befitting for this type of story, the landscape scenes are beautiful. These 3 chapters are compacted with feelings and history. Simply told; amazing.

Beautifully tragic. The wife treated her husband badly so that he could let go of her easily. Actually, this type of story has been lingering in my mind and I finally found something like it. I’ve been into one-shots recently because they aren’t a huge waste of time.

Futaba is really naive and I find her to be annoying. Luckily she does have character development later on in the story. Kou is essentially that emotionless, intelligent, handsome, respectful, and popular boy that basically everyone likes. Both characters are generic without many special personality traits. This is a very boring love story. I understand that Kou was trying to cope with his mother’s death but if I were Futaba, I would’ve never gotten back with him. It’s really nothing special. I don’t understand what all the hype is about, I feel like I wasted my time.

Really cute concept. I love the female lead’s personality, she’s very entertaining. But I wonder how this story will progress, so far it’s just a bunch of events that happen at her workplace. The art is so good.

That is literally so sad. Even without an explanation, we can immediately infer what happened. The way that he immediately bursts into tears after realizing is so tragic. He’s going to live his whole life thinking that he killed his brother. And the way the adults are congratulating him is so disgusting. This really pulled on my heartstrings. But both of them looked the same so I don’t understand why the other brother was talking down on himself and saying that he wasn’t smart or cute. Normally, I don’t like reading an art style like this but for this story, I think it’s very suitable. The author’s work is amazing and I recommend it.

The anime for this was amazing and made me come searching for the manga. I initially had low expectations but I was astonished when I watched the anime. This is no less than a masterpiece! I will judge it based on what I saw on the anime. The characters are beautifully written and have intricate personality traits. Their endurance, hope, and determination to live despite the situation is truly inspiring. It really makes you feel as if you were apart of a family that is trying to survive during world war 2. The moment that Suzu lost her right hand and Harumi died, it was as if everything was taken away from her. Like her ability to draw, cook rice, and wash clothes. But at the end, the author gives you hope by bringing back a character similar to Harumi and that simplistic action makes the whole story feel complete once again. This one definitely pulled on my heartstrings.
