narutolvr's manga / #Hidden identity(6)

Solid manga, well done scenes, and good art.

I just love when the guy who's been nice from the beginning wins over the guy who only acts nice after he likes her. For that, 4 stars! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

Even though I usually dislike (read: hate) this mangaka's works, I'm glad I took the time to read this as I genuinely enjoyed it! It didn't stretch on for too long, or have any over the top love triangles or pointlessly bitchy/mean characters. Just a nice, simple shoujo.

Ended already, huh? It wasn't bad but the later chapters just couldn't hold up to the expectations the first 5 or so chapters set for me. Overall, the ending was just way too rushed. I mean, I'm glad they came clean and all but trying to turn the chairman into a "good" guy in 2 pages just didn't work. Doesn't matter if you want your kids recognized; threatening your son with his sister's life and breaking up his relationship with his girlfriend for literally no reason is just not a good look. So, needless to say, the end did disappoint me a bit.

I liked the art but the stories annoyed me a bit; it seems like the guys just did whatever they wanted, relentlessly pursuing the ukes and forcing themselves on them, only to be forgiven because they just happened to fall magically in love. Also, the translation of the story surrounding the second couple was a bit difficult to understand- even though I got the main points, there were a lot of sentences that just plain didn't make sense.
