Yane's manga / #Shoujo(97)

My rating: 7/10 At the beginning it's primarily funny but it gets rather serious and dramatic later on. I didn't like the main characters at first but the have growth and now I'm quite fond of them. The FL's strong and the ML is really cute. But the villain just goes insane I guess, he becomes increasingly unhinged. CELEBRITY, TV SHOW After fighting with a famous pop star (ML) the FL gets fired from her job as a reporter and blames him for it online wanting to reveal his two-faced self. But they end up doing a reality show together instead and grow close. SPOILER: The villain is the former friend of the ML from his trainee days. He got thrown away together with their female friend after the agency decided to focus on the ML and since then hates him wanting to destroy him. But not only that, he's fully-fledged criminal and abuses the female friend. In the end he even kidnapped her. But the FL comes to her rescue. I like their friendship.

My rating: 7/10 I like the story and the ML. He's so overprotective of her and I'm a sucker for "unrequited" love tropes. But the FL is kinda dumb always starting things to help him and ending up needing to be rescued. That's frustrating. YAKUZA, AGE GAP After her parent's death the FL finds out she's the head of a yakuza clan's granddaughter. When he takes her in a man (ML) attacks and she saves his life making him swear to protect her. Years later he's the second in command and the succession is at stake.

My rating: 8/10 The art is extraordinary and there's a lot of fluff. They're one of the cutest couples out there, a bit cheesy sometimes but still a really good romance where u really feel the love. The ML is a green flag, like a knight in shining armour for her, the damsel in distress. I'm glad she becomes more confident, she's a bit too insecure at first. Luckily there's no villainess here. ACTOR, FAMOUS ML, TOXIC EX After her boyfriend breaks up with her and invites her to his wedding the FL catches the eye of the ML, a famous actor. Later they meet at a film set again and he helps her out. Since then they can't forget each other and he reaches out to her wanting to get to know her. But she's still afraid to be deceived again.

My rating: 9,5/10 I love this, their relationship takes so many turns and the characters are interesting. He's a player who doesn't trust women (I love him) and she's the refreshingly strong girl who hates his arrogance. It's enemies to lovers, the romance is well-written and the drama is just enough. But beware: the ML is very possessive and cheats on her. SCHOOL LIFE, STEP SIBLINGS The FL always quarrels with her popular classmate (ML) who sleeps around and breaks up couples by seducing the girls. When she hears that his father's gonna marry her mother she's devastating but things change after they get to know each other.

My rating: 7/10 It's cute but really short. I like the girl, she's refreshingly blunt and intelligent. The ML on the other hand is narcissistic and wants to use her. But he changes. The rest of the characters isn't likable, especially the ML's og love, she's so fake. SCHOOL LIFE, GAME The student council president (ML) who's treated like a prince by everyone starts a game with his friends: whoever takes the most depressed girl to his upcoming birthday party gets a wish and he wants his friend's girlfriend. But the girl he approaches (FL) seems to see through him and isn't as easy to win over as he thought.

My rating: 6/10 It's not a normal teacher student romance, the reincarnation theme gives it a dark undertone. Their history is interesting but I don't ship them, they just gloss over the fact that his "love" started with a twisted unrequited obsession. I like the 2 ML much more. And the ending is kinda open, u don't get closure. SCHOOL LIFE, REINCARNATION The FL lives in a boarding house with her mother and finds out that her new English teacher (ML) is the new boarder there. He seems kinda mysterious and interested in her. Meanwhile she gets entangled with the popular guy in class.

My rating: 8/10 I read this a long time ago but I still remember that really like the whole criminal case. Them investigating it and the extension of it are gripping. The couple is kinda childish, rough and strong. I recommend it anyway, the drama is good. SCHOOL LIFE, AGE GAP, CRIME Before his death her brother gives Teru a number of a person known as DAISY to call so she isn't left all alone. After Teru begins working for the delinquent school janitor, Kurosaki, she learns that he is actually that mysterious friend.

My rating: 3/10 It's like having a good but common idea for a story and then ruining it with weak/weird characters and an overdose of clichés. Maybe it being so short contributes to this but still this could be better. Only read it if u wanna pass some time with a short and simple manga. ONESHOTS, REUNION 1) A girl wants to avenge her parents 2) A girl chases (stalks) her childhood friend 3) A woman returns to her hometown and ex

My rating: 8,5/10 This is so adorable, it had me feeling warm inside. I'm invested even though it's just a oneshot with extras bc the "youthful love" feels so natural and the feelings are well-delivered. HIGH SCHOOL, FRIENDS TO LOVERS Seungbin has a close female friend named Hajeong, it was all platonic until he gets sick in the season of summer and Hajeong visits him in the nurse's office.

My rating: 9,5/10 It's a serious story addressing alcoholism, domestic abuse and the consequences from the child's/teenager's pov. It's scary good and had me invested. The couple bonds bc of their similar experiences. HIGH SCHOOL, DOMESTIC ABUSE A high school girl who lives with her abusive father, her neglecting mother and her little brother can't say no out of fear of being abandoned. But then the "bad boy" of her class finds out about her home life.
