Meridian's manga / #Magic(57)

Soooo many ups and downs for our main couple. I'm not a big fan of the world resets and everybody forgets kinds of endings but I do agree it was probably the best way for our couple to still end up together. I enjoyed the end anyways and was especially happy to see our second ML come back to life! He was the main reason their relationship would never be able to work, and it would've been icky even if MC had lost his memories and could be happy with ML so it was a good choice. The magic was pretty interesting, too. Everything has a price and on the way to get your wish granted, you could lose so much more. It was a pretty deep meaning and complex emotions from a magical boy story. Nonetheless, a welcome surprise.

There's a lot of things to like about this one, the family members are adorable, MC's powers are super interesting and cute, the ending was super satisfying. Even with all that, I can't get over how much I don't like the MC herself. She's presented as having these genius level magic powers that make her incredibly strong, but it rarely comes up until the end. Most of the time she's throwing herself head first into trouble and then crying as a damsel in distress until her family can come save her. For most of the story instead of her helping it would've saved everyone time and trouble if she had just stayed home. Yeah, she's a kid with trauma. That doesn't make it any better to read her shout that she's gonna be helpful for once and end up just sitting somewhere crying.

Adorable relationship between the ML and MC, and without a bunch of extra misunderstandings (though there were a couple) it progressed at a pretty fast pace, which was refreshing. It was just a really feel-good, interesting read. The ending was slightly anticlimactic but I also understand why it happened that way considering this is a zero-angst kind of read. Great for relaxing and enjoying some cuteness!

Honestly super unique compared to a lot of stories with similar settings. The slow switch from his magic personality loving her to his actual personality was sooo satisfying and cute. I don't think I could ever get tired of this couple. The backstory that led up to their love was so complicated that I got a little lost but intriguing all the same, I adored it in the end!

The. Art. Gets. Better. It gets unimaginably better even if it takes a bit. Also, it was just super interesting all around, it was great to see all the surgeries and medical things happening. There's nothing better than a story that actually implements the advantages of previous lives instead of tossing them aside and forgetting about them. It really dragged after the war arc, but mostly redeemed itself by the end. Perfect finale and overall really satisfying read.

Pretty cute! I liked how well thought-out MCs powers were, basically all the lore. It definitely helped the story feel more cohesive and I didn't get bored with it, the author gave it a good amount of focus. ML was strong but it never felt like he was the savior while MC was the damsel in distress, she was always the strong badass (plus those that helped her with her powers). All in all, the supporting characters (specifically the faeries/ancestor) had enough depth that it didn't feel like the ML and MC had to do everything themselves. It made the story more interesting.
