Yane's manga / #Comedy(190)

My rating: 7/10 It's an interesting story with a good setting, likable characters and entertaining dynamics. The seme's overly serious and the uke's energetic and cheeky, they quarrel a lot. But the ending is rushed, kinda disappointing. YAKUZA, HATE TO LOVE A college student (uke) gets sold off to the yakuza by his own brother. He'd rather die than work for them, but then the boss orders him to take care of the group's workaholic (seme) even though they get along like fire and water.

My rating: 9/10 It's quite enjoyable, really funny too. It's written from the ML's pov. He's highly intelligent and devoid of emotions at first. The FL with her pure and energetic nature changes him, it's quite adorable n develops into an (harmless) obsession on his part. What makes this so wholesome is also the "found family" concept. They gradually gather friends around them who support each other. And I really like that here the seemingly senseless obsession of the men with og heroine in the og story is actually explained (and it's a rather unique reason). REINCARNATION, COMEDY Crown prince Cecil (ML) is so brilliant that everything in life is easy to the point of boring him. But during their first meeting, his fiancée Bertia (FL) suddenly proclaims that she's the villainess of an otome game and that she will do everything to fulfill her role and help him find happiness with the og heroine. Quite interesting ...

My rating: 3/10 It's entertaining but not my cup of tea. Although these 3 short stories address some serious topics, they're rather light-hearted bc the FL's are always pretty immature yet determined. REINCARNATION, MODERN DAY 1) A high school girl gets transported into the past and gets told that she's the reincarnation of a warrior. Now she has to help a young man defeat the enemy 2) 2 high school students are in love in spite of their parents's disapproval 3) A high school girl meets a Chinese police officer and helps him during an investigation

My rating: 6/10 Pick this if u want a light, quick read. It's not deep, there's no drama and the characters are short, just two fudanshis falling in love. Entertaining but forgettable. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, OTAKU Two childhood friends hide their otaku sides from each other. One day, they miraculously end up being next to each other at a doujinshi event where they sell their own mangas. From then on, they start growing even closer. But is friendship all there is between them?

My rating: 8,5/10 I absolutely adore the FL with her positive attitude. She really never gives up, is naturally friendly and confident. The way she tries to charm the tsundere ML really got me invested, this never gets boring. But it doesn't feel complete, more like the end of a season. OFFICE ROMANCE, PLANTS Everything has been going downhill for Hana lately: her fiancee cheats on her, her plants die and then she gets molested on the train. Unexpectedly, a handsome man stands up for her. When they meet again during a marriage meeting, she starts to really want to date him. But although he helped her that time, he turns out to be rather cold and rejects her in a rude way?! She's gonna give up like that!

My rating: 7,5/10 It's cute. I really like the FL, she's intelligent, has a great pokerface and still crushes on him hard. They complement each other with him being such a nice guy and a pushover. The ending's a bit rushed, there could've been be more drama, but it's alright. OFFICE ROMANCE, BET An office lady is known as the "Ice Iron Lady" in her company because of her cool and practical way of doing her job. One day, she overhears the seniors pressuring the guy she has a crush on to bet on whether he can get with her. So, she decides to use this to make some good memories with him until she resigns in 2 months.

My rating: 7/10 Even though I dislike the art style I love the characters. The protagonists are both so oblivious it's adorable. The ML's a player with mommy issues and the FL's an introvert. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat. But the romanisation of r4pe isn't it. There are so many harmful and toxic things happening in here while the story keeps its "cute" vibe. And the ending is rushed. YAKUZA, MANGAKA, DEBT A mangaka gets an unexpected visit from a scary-looking yakuza. After carelessly becoming the guarantor for her friend's loan, she is told to settle his huge debt. The yakuza agrees to wait for the repayment if she sleeps with him. But he's surprisingly gentle.

My rating: 9/10 Such a beautiful story. It has all these funny little scenes but got unexpectedly deep and sad. The characters are complex and have reasons for acting the way they do. The FL is the perfect example for a lovely yet strong woman. I especially like her relationship with the dragon, the way he slowly opens up to her. The romance is just a side note. DRAGON, WAR, SITTER A young orphan girl takes on the job of the world's last dragon's sitter. But he's a tsundere drunkard who wants her to leave. Only slowly does she discover his backstory.

My rating: 5/10 It's alright. It doesn't get boring and the banter between the FL and the ML is pretty cute. It has the shoujo clichés and childish behaviours but it's not bad. The ML changes his mind about her too abruptly tho. The FL is strong and stands up for herself, I like that. PRINCE, STEP AUNT, HATE TO LOVE The FL goes to her sister's wedding in Greece. Soon she meets the son of her sister's husband, an arrogant and spoiled prince surrounded by women. This is the starting point of their countless fights.

My rating: 7/10 It's kinda like an enemies to lovers but a bit more complicated. The pacing is good, their shared past gets slowly revealed which keeps up the suspense. I love seeing them grow closer with the kid. REUNION, CHILD, ROOMMATES After Ririko's death, her daughter gets to know two of her mother's exes: her possible dads. According to the will the three of them will have to spend 3 moths together until the child can decide who'll be her dad. But that isn't easy, especially since her dads share a difficult past.
