Orange is the best fruit's manga / #romance(13)

<> > "i'm stronger than a guy" type girl > the ML was less angsty and possessive than i was expecting based on past experience so that was a pleasant surprise > didn't really need a creepy, pedo rapist teacher, but i guess that's a staple for stories like these for some reason > ... did that girl really turn a tiara into a bomb and call it "giving someone a scare"??? ma'am you coulda killed someone?!?!?!?

<> Ch 10. oh man. this was so boring =_=. they have a whole scene *talking* about how smart and useful and suitable for the throne the princess is, but they never show it! Literally the only thing she does on screen is read, carry stuff, or pine. But she's supposed to be super smart?? naaahhhhh. show don't tell. it's the golden rule of storytelling and this story ain't it.

so she... died in the fantasy world, reincarnated into the modern world, died again, and reincarnated into her OG world. in other words, the author didn't want to put effort into giving her actual character development. i got like 30 chapters into this and it really feels like nothing happened.

The manga so far is a collection of smaller stories loosely tied together by single family. I honestly wish we'd see more from the mom and her reflections on her life singe it was her decisions that ultimately created the current lives of everyone else. I really like that this story can explore all these tangential relationships. I loved the complicated relationship btwn Madoka (dark haired daughter) and Sakura. I loved watching Eri be so good at everything that shes afraid to fail. And I loved how she unwittingly became Nagi-pon's mentor. It's so sweet This isnt really what I was expecting from the synopsis. I thought its be more atmospheric, reflective, and linear. That it's not is a bit disappointing, but I'm still really enjoying it. Madoka and Sakura made me cry

Two girls, Eiko and Moe, are inseparable friends. Moe is beautiful and extremely popular with guys, but she always has one condition for going out with them: they have to put Eiko first. I liked this. Moe's got a blunt personality that's difficult to deal with, so she's struggled to make friends her whole life. Eiko's too much of a pushover and I was rooting for that to change. It seems like it did, just a bit. I like their friendship dynamic. They look out for each other. I liked Narugami-kun, the dark haired guy who winds up falling for Eiko. Him battling with Moe over her was fun. I was hoping this would be a friendship story mostly devoid of romance, but I liked it regardless. I'll give it a high 7/10. It's too short to do much, but what it did do, I really liked.. minus the side story at the end.
