Amita4ever's manga / #HiP(10)

This is one, strong, single-minded woman! Wow! There really isnt a lot of romance here - it's more like after his initial attraction, she makes herself unforgettable through sheer defiance. And I'm still not completely sure when she fell in love. Clearly there is attraction and it's very clear she respects him, but love? Obviously it flips at some point. I'm thinking when she learns her father's fate, she can finally stop fighting herself. The other thing I'm not sure about is how to judge the bed before vows. I don't like it, but its harder to condemn when dealing with the king of another culture who, we find out, has already decided you're his wife, even if he hasn't got around to telling you. In general, I enjoyed the story, even if it was drier than some, and I loved the art.

I really like this one. There are a few rough spots where things that could have been explained a bit better (I would like to think the letter had something to do with resolving the trust issue, but it doesn't say so) and the artist could have been consistent (thigh or leg? Make up your mind!), but overall, I thought it was a good one.

14 chaps - One of my absolute favorites! The artist can make a gesture, expression or posture speak volumes. Love it so much, I bought a hard copy!

My personal favorite is Vol 2: Justin's Story :)

ONE-SHOT - I love this story. It's a pure, light-hearted love story that is so sweet and you might need to brush your teeth afterward.

3 chaps...+ (ongoing) - NMC: Dragon

The ML is quite a mess, and initially it makes for a tortuous relationship, but I think that what makes it tolerable, is we get to see his POV and it feels like his struggle is real, especially for a prideful man whose entire life is built on a foundation of personal and internal control. I can't say I'm entirely certain we end on, 'They lived happily ever after,' but I think the FL is strong enough to correct his course once he recognized and accepted the consequences and blessings of being in love.

One-shot in 12 chaps (incomplete as of 1/7/22. Auto uploader failed to steal all chaps. Check Bato)

A strong romance between a strong, independent French woman and a handsome, belligerent Englishman with a grudge. It’s also a good tale about not painting with a broad brush and letting the past destroy your future. The only thing I didn’t like was the BBV (Bed Before Vows).
