Meridian's manga / #Child MC(20)

Amazing, lovely, cute. A classic for many of us, and rightfully a common favorite. Honestly, romance is mostly a subplot here, which is refreshing because her relationship with her dad is at the forefront instead of getting tossed aside halfway through the story. It's super well-paced, we grow up with our MC without huge time skips or empty filler chapters of her childhood days. All in all one of my all-time favorites.

Super sweet ML even though he's a villain, he values MC so much and yet puts so much effort into not belittling her choices. Misunderstandings were actually used well and moved the plot forward without dragging on too long! The only downside was the amnesia arc, I'm normally indifferent to them but this one felt too much like useless fluff. Also, the lesbian sister of the ML was one of the best and most wholesome older sister characters ever. 4.5/5 stars
