RoseMary's manga / #Harlequin(53)

Well, I kinda liked it almost only for the art: Sadahiro Mika is one if my top favourite BL mangaka and I love her art style. So, I liked it here as well. Although I have to say that the art didn't feel that special here, it lost its charm because of the story itself unfortunately! In fact, this harlequin's plot is not that good. I didn't like the characters much. I understand that the male lead, J.B., had his own situation, being afraid to love again and lose someone he loved again and so on, but he treated the female lead, Terry, so badly. When in the end he said he loved her from the bottom of his heart, I thought that it sure didn't feel that way. He was hot, but that's it. And Terry was a plain and weak character, so blinded by love that she so easily forgave all the hurtful things J.B. did and said. Anyway, this harlequin is nothing special, it's just ok. The extra star is for the art, which was almost the only good thing here, like I said.
