127 - Refreshing but i grow tired of the one woman show, the stupidity of the prince also broke my suspension of disbelief, but certainly there was not much of a story from the start It’s not too heavy on the revenge or flashback thing, and the characters are ok, even if the MC is a huge prude which is strange considering she’s a modern woman the lessons about tea are average, little stories are nice, but a japanese manga would undoubtedly have added some practical aspects. Like recipe, temperature, ingredients … and probably more depth and culture in come aspects (pottery for example), It’s typical of any «  teaching you about »kind of manga, here is tea, it could have been bread, cooking, patisserie, etc, learning how to dress up, actually any leisure that can be share would do so, in that register, it is a bit poor, but it’s still nice Nonetheless, it’s fine as a light read, relatively « non violent « , weak in many aspects, but pretty much balanced as a whole Our MC is also an independent woman with a good brain which is nice The biggest disappointment so far is the ridiculous addition of a few villains, as much as it was ok in the beginning, within c95/125. you got two normal people turning into psycho in the name of love or something : that both too much and an indrance to the story ( the latest victim of the author is really badly chosen, it is a sad misuse of that character)

38 - cute silly mc, a bit slow but an interesting equation as the heroine is lacking in more than a way, but is super spirited It’s a safe and fun read at the end of the day, when my brain is totally fried The art is also very pretty in a cute way On flaw though : the pace is really slow with too many monologues
