apopoi's manga / #shoujo(173)

An otome game that's hardly any different from the rest..yet so different. Maybe that has to do with the fact that the story is told from the genius ML's POV so the tone is pretty much cut throat and refreshing. It takes away some elements that honestly tires me out like the banter among noble ladies, petty schemes and boy drama. There are hints of it but we are following the narration of the ML so it is rare. How he dissects things and the counter measures he comes up with are fun to read almost as if it's common sense. His love for MC was more tame than I thought but I like it. The last chapters with their two children (a boy & a girl) one a siscon who is similar to his dad in demeanor and the girl a carbon copy of her mother except she has heterochromia. The little bro of fl was cute.

I loved this when I read it with my sister. It's not as creepy as I thought it would be and doesn't border on pedophilia or power dynamic like other mangas with large age-gap. This feels more real and the characters emotions feels more genuine and reasonable. The ML struggling with his life and his siblings after the death of their parents and finding solace in the work of the MC (she's a writer). The little bro was cute too. I would honestly support him and MC too if that ship had any chance to sail. He caught feelings for her when they were children, after his parent's death he crouched down crying infront of their graves in the rain and the MC quietly sat by his side holding an umbrella sheltering him from the rain. No words had to be spoken and that panel warmed my heart.

I looove looove looove this!!! The MCs are so nice and heartwarming and wholesome and such good people. The way Yuzu is so patient with our ML and dotes on him and cares for him, consoling him..ahh I want her as my wife. Also our ML is nothing to scoff at either although he considers himself a pessimist, he is such a positive person who considers the bright side to everything. He considered suicide as a means to escape because he was essentially disowned by his rich ass family and sent to live in a deserted house where his grandpa spent his later years and died, in a distant and rural village. His wife is truly his saving grace. He is so funny, I love how he accepts Yuzu's goodwill and kindness, compliments her cooking and his blushing..so adorable!! His tsundere sister I grew to love only after a few pages with her..I love the twist that she admires her brother and doesn't see him as a disgrace despite his disability. Also the friend of Yuzu who got pregnant..at first I was a bit skeptical and wary since teenage pregnancy causes a lot more damage in a society to the young girl than the boy so I thought that was irresponsible but now I am starting to get it. Above all our dear sweet MC reminds me so much of my best friend Mari ️

A spin-off to my favourite manga of all time!!(in slice of life). It seems to be cooking related. I read upto ch15 currently and some parts of the og manga was cut out and the cooking process is so detailed and precise and ot centers around that.

Such a flashback to the past. Just seeing this fills my heart. My heart is swelling. This means so much to me. I finished the anime. I switched from sub to dub. Back in the day, we didn't watch anime on the internet but through discs and the dub was the only one available so I made do with it. Nanami is such a wonderful person who is so bright and sunny, who has such a positive outlook on life and everything else. Our fox is such a tsundere but we love him for that. His protective side..we love to see it. When I learned that Nanami was the girl he fell on love with in the past, how happy I was. I thought it was her pretty and elegant ancestor but it turned out to be her time travelling. I love her and I love them together.

I like it..it's fresh and exciting. It's an Indonesian manhwa, isn't it? I'm not surprised as Indonesia along with other south-east Asian countries look favourably to Korea. At first I thought it was a manhwa but the names made it clear it was some other south-east Asian country, my guess leaned towards Indonesia instantly. The names are so similar to Indian names, it's uncanny. About the plot : It's more structured than I expected but it is at the level of a shoujo manga afterall which isn't a bad thing at all. I would like more from this type of drama centred plot. The mysteries aren't really mysterious, and the question of who is the Mr President? As is the title is not that interesting to me. It's like Pretty Little Liars but Asian version with less stakes. The MC is an upright and logical character who uses her head to get out of icky situations, she gets flustered easily but able to think clearly and make logical decisions and arrive at a conclusion that is satisfying. The ML is cute, I actually read this because of a YouTube short where the ML is wearing glasses waiting for MC who just graduated or giving a speech of some sorts? The comments praised this manhwa to the moon and back also what they said about the MC being logical made me curious because only Lord knows how rare that is.

It's so unnecessarily flashy but there's no substance. Even if our MC has talent in Kendo in her past life and is an Olympic contender, how is she able to be so proficient in it after just picking it up with so many years living as a noble lady wasted? It makes no sense. Her binding her chest, cutting and dyeing her hair so she can work as a mercenary to make ends meet was also so generic. Also the sounds they make while fighting was so stupid 'Hyaah' 'Urgh' 'Aghh' and so on. The action scenes are deplorable. The ML seems so douchey, I suspect as the chapters go on he becomes better but I don't like him having only read two chapters. I refuse to read more. I need to get in the habit of dropping books, instead of wasting my time reading trashy books I should look for gems like 'Your throne', that comic is excellence in itself. So that's it

Oh..I didn't like this. The art style is not my style..it feels unstructured. It just don't appeal to me. the MC's mindset is like a child and maches her physical appearance but not her real age considering she was an adult before being reincarnated. I don't like this

Please no..the oneshot looked promising but what a letdown. The artstyle is one thing but there are some scenes missing and the way it's cut, we can only see half of some scenes. The plot is plain and boring. The characters are a bore to read. the MC is brain-dead just standing in a corner narrating the whole plot for everyone to hear. Her logic is so simple..to stop the og fl and ml from meeting thereby preventing her death. If only it were that easy. Her younger (future NB: I have no idea what I meant to say, maybe sibling?) seems to have a head on her head, the only person to actually think and say what they are feeling out loud. The ML lost his mom and his relationship with his dad is strained, the Emperor seems to make an effort but it seems the ML is not fazed.

I was a bit skeptical about reading this because of the cover. The ml looked like an older man and not exactly the most daddy material atleast not for me. The fl seemed demure and docile in the cover with her pink hair and floral dress as well as the helpless expression so I assumed the worst. The art isn't the best but it suffice. The plot itself isn't too complicated, it's quite simple really. Atleast we now know what comes after 'happily ever after' with such an overly possessive ml in a typical romance. The MC still has trauma regarding 'love' because of the crown prince's obsession.. eventually killing her since he couldn't have her for himself. The frivolous friend is nice, not overbearing and knows not to cross the line. The ML is a cute grizzly bear who is easily flustered with low self-esteem who secluded himself from the outside world. The MC actually being the empress in her second life was a shock to me as she was royalty not by blood but by marriage, it seems the crown prince abdicated the throne for her. Rn I am in Ch20, will read more later. I like the pacing tho it is faster than my preferred style, it works for the story. Otherwise it would feel like filler and be a bore to read through.
