ArtemisFowl's manga / #funny(95)

So much depth and nuance in all of the characters, and manages to balance lighthearted elements of the plot with more serious and complex ones. My favorite chapter is probably the switch-around, where the author reimagines Snow as a dragon and Tungsten as a human that becomes King. It is such an accurate and well-thought out version of what would happen in that scenario. It just speaks to the level of depth the writer brought to this concept, how pain can sometimes intermix with love. Props to the author for this masterwork. I hope s/he continues to write. 5/5 stars ~ Chapter (I'm not sure) 53-58

Princess Alicia is a modern woman from Tokyo, reborn as Alicia in a novel her sister wrote. Alicia was born in a small smithing town, with her mother and her half-brother by her side...until they discover that, at her mother's untimely death, her half-brother is the last heir of the noble crown to Lianne. He and his half-sister go to Lianne's capital, where the mc is trying to avoid all the 'doom flags/endings' and get the heck out of dodge with some guy named Lancelot, whose face she's never seen. Little does she know that she ends up sleeping with the novel's hero, Ares Crenoix, who takes a little more than a liking to her...and ends up entangled in her problems within the castle and the petty politics the main establishment is up to. She ends up at the castle, trying to increase her power and protect her little brother by ending up as Ares' weapons' advisor (all while telling herself that Ares is not her type). Edit: He proposes at the end of chapter 73 (despite them technically being engaged, or pretending to in order to introduce the idea of 'she's potentially going to see someone romantically' to her brother); also, the end of the season Edit: on the verge of answering his proposal in chapter 80 Edit 9/9/23: She proposes to him. - Chapter 85 Edit:1/9/24: They basically admits that they like each other - Chapter 109 ~Chapter 102

No...no, no, no. Chapter 7 onward is a downward spiral. And it had all the right explanations and all the right ingredients to be great.

What a masterpiece.

Section chief (hedgehog) and subordinate (cockatoo) fall in love at the office, in an office romance. They struggle with certain aspects of their relationship, but this is a mostly fluffy manga about two cute people madly in love with each other. The scenes of them are light and mostly contain warmth, depth, and emotion. There isn't much plot to be had, but it's not at the expense of reality or cuteness. ~Chapter 32.7

Ha ha ha, another mask manga for the pandemic of the century (discounting the 1918 Spanish Influenza). This story has nothing to do with a pandemic though. Sayama, regular guy with a penchant for wearing a mask, ends up in the nurse's office after some douchebag (read: the main romantic lead) falls hard (literally, not figuratively) on Sayama and doesn't even apologize properly. Therein lies the set-up for the romance, and our mask-wearing hero is pursued. Update: Sadism, weird, creepy...Saikawa's got some issues... Update on update: Like, I understand why you've got the hots for him (bc he's a good kisser and smexy and whatever) but the feels? I don't get it brah... ~Chapter 7

That dude is an utter dickhead. Pardon my French. The seme, not the uke.
