Yane's manga / #Shoujo(88)

My rating: 8/10 It was actually quite interesting as the story had traits of a whodunit. The FL is strong and the ML is a bit difficult due to his trauma from the war but still a good man. I enjoyed it. HISTORICAL, STATUS GAP, CRIME After the war between England and France, a french seamstress goes to London in order to search for her brother. One night, she saves a lawyer from assassins. But when they come to get her later on, she returns to him and they both temporarily move into his friend's house for safety.

My rating: 8,2/10 This was quite good. There actually was some development as the story was a two-shot and I liked the main couple. They felt drawn to each other right away but didn't confess until the end was near. I hate her brother tho, he's scum. DEATH ROW, DEBT, HISTORICAL Bc of the huge debt her brother made under her name, a young noble lady decides to marry a convict who's on death row as her debt would disappear the moment her husband died. But when she meets him, the man turns out to be gentle and sophisticated and on top of that wrongfully accused. To save him, she decides to search for the real culprit.

My rating: 7,8/10 It was funny. The ML was actually pretty childish and eccentric, I liked how he pretended to be serious in front of her just to panic when she turned her back. But her realising her love was weird, like an enlightenment. And the end felt cut off, there was something missing. ARTIST, AGE GAP (15 years), HUNGARY When a young noble lady comes to Hungary to let him paint her portrait, an eccentric artist decides to hate her in order not to be disappointed like every time before. But he can't help but fall for her and does everything to make her stay, starting with his refusal to paint her.

My rating: 7/10 They were a bit too old-fashioned for me. Like, no sex before marriage and the depiction of abortion as something horrible, that just doesn't sit right with me. But apart from that, it was cute tho corny too. CHILDREN, NANNY, RESORT When his sister and her husband go on vacation, they send their children and their nanny to the ML. He can't really deal with children at all, but he decides to bring them with him on a business trip to improve his image. But the nanny has other plans.

My rating: 7,8/10 I liked it. The ML was such a normal guy (in a good way) and the story was really wholesome. She took some action too and approached him, she wasn't this weak girl getting swept away. ROOMMATES, SOCIAL GAP When the FL decides to move out and leave her overprotective mother, she accidentally gets to rent the same apartment as a stranger who just returned from the army. The decide to live together until the apartment owners return, but they really don't get along at first. That's not how it remains of course.

My rating: 6,3/10 These were simple, childish stories. Nothing hot, a bit cute tho. The art is ok. SCHOOL LIFE, MISUNDERSTANDING 1) A girl goes to an all-boys school pretending to be a guy and falls in love with her classmate. 2) A girl things her boyfriend is cheating on her, runs away and has a ton of bad luck.

My rating: 6/10 It's not bad, it's just really corny and sometimes gave me these fairytale vibes. As always, it's pretty unrealistic. The FL seems ready to die out of love making me feel uncomfortable u get the feeling that the author just loves drama. DOCTOR, BLIND, POISON When she hears that the famous surgeon she once worked for as a nurse is searching for an assistant and lives in a secluded house on an island, the FL applies and pretends to be an older woman to get in. She does it out of guilt as she unknowingly gave him the eye drops another nurse poisoned making him blind.

My rating: 8/10 This is one good harlequin. It's different, there isn't such a power gap between the FL and the ML. They're both strong in their own way and free each other from their chains. It's cute. PIRATES, MARRIAGE, HISTORICAL In order to help her father, a noble lady has to marry an influential pirate who is officially allowed to run his business. But one the way to him, her ship gets attacked by the notorious ghost ship and she becomes a captive. To survive, she pretends to be a musician and unknowingly lets the young captain remember his past with her song.

My rating: 5,3/10 It was alright. They both had to be traumatised here, and they mainly healed it through sex? I mean, it's harlequin. The good thing is that they communicated and that she had a strong side. The ML fortunately was a good man. FOREIGNER, MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE After her half-sister died in an accident with her husband, the FL is determined to raise their child as his surrogate mother. But one day, the father's younger brother who now assumed the position of the sheikh in his home country appears wanting to take his heir with him. She agrees, but she needs to accompany them.

My rating: 9/10 The art is unique. The story doesn't have one main arch and villain, there're more events and depictions of their day-to-day life. Instead, it's the complex characters that make it so enjoyable. I really love the FL, she's cheerful and extroverted while the ML seems cold but has a soft core. They have good chemistry. TRANSMIGRATION, NOVEL, STAN The FL possessed the body of a princess who's an extra in her favourite novel. After the plot ends, she decides to propose to her favourite character: the 2 ML who got banished to live as a duke in the north bc of his betrayal. She's determined to crack his shell, but that isn't so easy.
