Yane's manga / #Strong Female Lead(131)

Make-up artist x office worker My rating: 7/10 The plot is actually quite good and the ML isn't your typical masculine dude. Her first impression literally was: "He's so feminine". But he isn't girly either. I like how he's teasing her. The FL is a bit too insecure for me. MAKEOVER, FAKE RELATIONSHIP The plain-looking FL decides to buy make-up to change her looks after being looked down on by her co-workers. At The store, she meets a male make-up artist who does her make-up. When she meets him again, she asks him teach her, but he wants her to be his fake girlfriend to protect him from his admirers in exchange.

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: 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: 6/10 Sadly it's only a oneshot, I want more. I like the FL, she isn't some childlike weak girl but actually strong and she has a temper. But the teacher abuses his position and popularity to get close to her, his student!!! That's pretty creepy actually, even if he's good looking. SCHOOL LIFE, TEACHER, MODEL A high school student (FL) is an ex model who tries to stay unnoticed bc she was bullied in the past. But her teacher (ML) catches a glimpse of her charm and gets interested in her.

My rating: 7/10 I really like that she doesn't change her attitude like the normal villainesses do, she doesn't turn into someone else. It's pretty suspenseful with her having to change her fate in 1 day. What bugs me is the senseless obsession of the men with the og heroine, this feels a bit cheap. It's a good read tho, entertaining and with an interesting at the end. REINCARNATION, VILLAINESS A duke's daughter (FL) who's engaged with the crown prince realises that she's the villainess of a game 1 day before the og heroine who also reincarnated will defeat her. Now, she has to do everything to prevent that.

My rating: 10/10 This a good example for "letting the art speak". I really love the creepy atmosphere where u don't know what will happen, his violent side lurking in the shadows. It's truly an amazing story with good suspense and a well-portrayed yandere. It's about liking someone in spite of their murder fantasies, the fear of them doing something wrong. I like the FL, she's optimistic and kind but not too much bc she still doesn't let her brother go even though she knows about his tendencies. YANDERE ML, REINCARNATION A middle school student (FL) realises that she reincarnated as the younger stepsister of the evil murderer (ML) of a manga who sets up a death game for his class and murders her beforehand. To avoid that fate, she tries to fight the boredom that made him do it, so she prepares surprises for him. But she only has 1 year left ... SPOILER: The ML falls for her, he becomes obsessed and wants to lock her away. He also plays with the though of killing her, he says that she should be his first victim. But at the same time it doesn't feel good for him. He's been manipulative since he was young, he even accused his mother of child abuse to get rid of her. He now secretly tears insects apart. He realises his love for the FL after she gets hit by a truck before his eyes while trying to save a cat.

My rating: 7/10 It's interesting, a magical detective story with all the investigations. U slowly realise the connections, it's a good build-up. The characters are likeable too, the FL's courageous. But there's only a hint of romance and the ending's rushed. CROSSDRESSING, MAGICIAN Eco (FL) can use magic even though only men are supposed to have that ability. After her powers are exposed by accident, she's scorned. Then, her cousin suggests for her to work at the Magic Bureau in his stead. Eco decides to dress as a man and work as a mage. However she unexpectedly becomes "buddies" with another magician (ML) bc they enhance each other's magic powers

My rating: 2,5/10 I really don't like the stereotypical gender roles being portrayed here. It's like she needs a man and he's just insensitive without a "soft woman" around. Furthermore, they have major communication issues and are such cowards. And when they stated dating, he was 26 and she only 17?! Bro ... CHILDREN, REUNION 12 years ago, the FL fell in love with the older brother of her friend. They were happy, but when he proposed she started feeling cornered and left him after a fight. Now, she struggles as a single mother with a sick daughter. That's when she meets the ML again who's become a doctor.
