Amita4ever's manga / #No BBV :)(54)

I enjoyed this on so many levels. I loved how he could offer a sincere and honest, "Sorry" when he realized he was in the wrong. I loved how he treasured her and waited until after they were married. I loved how he let himself be changed by her faith in him. I loved how he realized he really couldn't move forward until he had dealt with his past and did so. I loved how he realized how blessed he was, and expressed that as well. This plot was pretty simple and had none of the 'standard' Harlequin complications, but it was really sweet and touching. It's being added to my BEST list!

5 chaps

It was an sweet story, but the ML was a bit of a contradiction and frustratingly self focused. On one hand he says he won't get married because there is one critical thing he knows he can't give a wife, and the next he is condemning the FL for suggesting there are solutions that could would let them marry and still give her what she wants. He takes it personally that she has this very common dream he can't fulfill, and if she won't give up that dream, she doesn't love him. That's not the way its supposed to work. Luckily the girl had a good head on her shoulders and she helps him see their problem is even more basic than just fulfilling her dream and he understands.

ONE SHOT

6 chaps uploaded in 2 "shots" - Such a confluence of coincidence, but still a lovely story, and long enough to involve you a bit more than most.

Oh, what a pristine little web we have here. It is based on enough, if only moderately, plausible situations that you can put logic in check and enjoy it, but there are SO many places where a ‘what if’ would have made it fall apart. What if the son said something? What if the FL had said something that got the ‘prank’ motivation questioned? What if the Dr had given the FL the benefit of a doubt (and why didn’t he?)? What if the vet said something sooner (it should have been evident the first time the pup was examined)? And there are others. You can come up with plausible reasons to justify each situation, but there is a cumulative effect here and a story shouldn’t have to stand on the reader being able to come up with justifications to keep it flying. Unlike some other stories I’ve read, however, it IS possible to do so. If you can, it is an enjoyable story and the art is good too. I do wonder, however, how someone SO forgetful can pull off being a doctor. His note book clearly only served one purpose in the story, and remembering prescriptions and tea party invites wasn’t it.

Very sweet. No BBV (Bed Before Vows). No OW/OM or manipulative relatives. Just first loves lost, and the process of refinding them.

I really liked this one. Both leads are strong and respectable (but I'll give the FL top billing). It was honest issues that drove them apart, but the FL paved the way for their reconciliation with her independance and her wisdom, and I liked that too. I also liked - A LOT - that the ML showed that men are in control of their hormones and NOT the other way around! There was a lot to like in this story and the art was icing on the cake! Worth reading!
