Yane's manga / #secret identity(3)

My rating: 4/10 The set-up is good and the start caught my interest but then it gets really rushed. The romance starts with a random kiss and the confession surprised me just as much. It's like the author wanted to wrap it all up nicely and overdid it. BIOGRAPHY, ACTRESS An university professor and historian (FL) gets asked to write the biography of a famous actress by the woman herself. But the actress's son (ML), a man whose father is unknown to the public, is strongly against it.

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: 5/10 It's a harlequin so of course it's overly dramatic. What bothers me more is the fat-shaming. But the story overall is quite interesting and has a good length. A better version of this would be "Glass Wall". HISTORICAL, SECRET IDENTITY The daughter of a wealthy commoner falls in love with a charismatic aristocrat but rejects him when she finds out that he wants her only for her money. Years later, her family has fallen into ruin and she meets him again when she becomes his daughter's governess.
