Yane's manga / #drama(318)

My rating: 7/10 I really like the setting, this has potential for a much longer story. The ML's really crazy for her, the kind of obsessive yandere who goes mad after losing her and throws away everything to see her again. She's naive and rather careless. The smut's hot and the art's good too. OBSESSIVE ML, REINCARNATION After being reincarnated into another world the FL becomes the crown prince's fiancee and works hard to fulfil her role. But after a saintess appears the king murders her and she dies in the prince's arms. When she wakes up in the 'real" world again, she swears to never fall in love again ... until one day her fiancee shows up again.

My rating: 10/10 This is a masterpiece of both fiction and art. It's quite dark dealing with the loss of a loved one, suicidal thoughts, unloving parents and most importantly the feeling of guilt. I quite like the narrative and the characters are complex and really interesting. It gave me the shivers. DEATH, DRAMA, GUILT Natsumi just lost her younger sister, Haru to chemotherapy. She can't bear the loss of the only person who loved her and falls into darkness. But Tougo, who got engaged to Haru bc of their parents, feels even more drawn to Natsumi now and they start a relationship full of guilt, one that might heal them?

My rating: 7/10 It's interesting but I wish it wasn't so short. I want to know more about their backstory, the organisation of the mafia and all that. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. I like the protagonists, they're both strong and somewhat opposites at the same time. It's open-ended but with a positive perspective on their future. MAFIA, MILITARY, REUNION Ivan, a spy of the Russian army, must investigate the right arm of a mafia boss. But his target is a very close friend he made in the military academy who he hasn't seen in ten years, Edward. Ivan can't help but wonder what made him become like that.

My rating: 7/10 This is for you if you like possessive older men. He has 2 sides: a forceful and dominant one and a goofy and sweet one. The FL has an actual personality, I love her. And the character development is great. BAR, OFFICE WORKER, POSSESSIVE ML Rika often goes to a bar to drink hoping to see the "man with the wristwatch" again who once comforted her when she was drunk. But instead, a goofy older man always teases her. One day, she gets so drunk that she falls asleep and he takes her home ...

My rating: 6/10 I like the FL, she's strong but no invincible girl boss. The story touches on the the darker sides of war but isn't very heavy. The romance is kinda cute. It's all really rushed tho. The smut is just ok. HISTORICAL, WARRIOR, ENEMY After her father and her older brothers died in the war the chief's daughter has to go to the battlefield to defend her country. But during a battle on the sea her army gets defeated and she falls into the water. To her surprise an enemy warrior saves her.

My rating: 7/10 This is good smut with clear consent, I like it. The art is good too. It's not romantic tho, more like the FL being obsessed with her ex. Read it for the smut. REUNION, EX The FL has been stalking her popular ex boyfriend from middle school on social meadia. When she notices that he viewed her story she likes his photo. They start texting again and soon decide to meet again.

My rating: 10/10 This psychological drama has so many layers it keeps me on my toes. The characters are all interesting and many of them have secrets. It's all a big mystery slowly coming to light. The FL's strong and the art is amazing too. MYSTERY, PSYCHOLOGICAL An author and lecturer hooks up with an older police officer because she wants him to tell her things about his work and help her with her novel that way. But then she finds out that he's the father of the student who loves her. This marks a changing point. One that could be connected to their past as well.

My rating: 4/10 The story sure has some interesting parts but I feel like every character but the protagonists got neglected and just used to move the plot forward. And even the main characters don't always make sense. Like, I still don't get why they hated each other at first. The ending is too rushed and everything gets resolved too easily. The FL's very weak and passive (at first). REUNION, RICH FAMILIES Eesuh Yoon constantly has to go on matchmaking dates to find a suitable partner. She seems to have it all but gets mistreated by her family. Enter an arrogant wealthy man she knows from high school who made a bet to win her heart. But will things go his way?

My rating: 2/10 I like the art and the main characters aren't that bad, the ML isn't a jerk. But it really irks me how the whole story seems to revolve about a woman's virginity. That's so sexist. And really, they could've just talked a bit more. CHILDREN, MARRIAGE, REUNION After her sister, her sister's husband and her parents die, the FL has to take care of her nieces together with her brother-in-law, the man whom she blames for not being able to be with a man bc he witnessed the moment that made her parents think of her as a harlot.

My rating: 7/10 This is pretty good, especially for a harlequin. The FL's strong, the ML's charming and loving and the romance is pretty sweet. And the overall plot is interesting and well-paced too. HISTORICAL, JESTER, PRINCESS After her father dies a sudden death a young princess flees from her fiancee she suspects is the killer. She meets a young jester and pays him to accompany her to the Queen's court to get her help. But in order to get there safely, she has to disguise herself as a boy.
