narutolvr's manga / #Romance(290)

Once again, I'm all about HMR's works that involve a female lead who can actually fight. And I also happen to like gender bender type mangas so this one was pretty much up my alley. Not to mention, it was done pretty well so I have no complaints

Yay for revenge!!!! Really, that was the only thing I enjoyed about this manhwa (and of course, the MC's personality). The romance aspect with the four princes and/or the history of each of them with the girl with swimming eyes really didn't matter to me at all. So of the 10 volumes of this manhwa, only 3-4 actually interested me, but oh how interesting they were!' Side note: I really hate the summaries HMR gives sometimes *read second one for example* It just sounds like absolute gibberish and, half the time, doesn't give you any idea what the story is about.

This may have been the first manga I ever completed so it certainly has a special place in my heart. And, boy, what a manga to call my first! Although it seemed to start out so simple and light hearted, this manga really showed itself to be unexpectedly complex. The author did a great job of slowly revealing the dark emotions in all of the characters in a realistic way, like slowly peeling away layers of an onion until you're left with nothing but the raw insides. In fact, this author's greatest talent might be the verisimilitude of her characters; it's like you're watching real live people interact. But I digress. I just wanted to say that this manga will make you laugh, and cry, and reevaluate the way you look at yourself and the people around you. I think it's a great manga to read when entering or leaving adolescence as it serves as a reminder that people are difficult and confusing and cruel, but are rarely evil.

Yay female leads who can fight! This was my first ever HMR manhwa aka the rabbit hole to Wonderland. I'm still trying to find my way out lol. But it's good! I preferred the first 12/13 volumes to the second half of the story, but the entire series was fairly interesting. A few of HMR's bad habits do pop up in this story, though, probably due to the length of the series: repetitive scenes with only small differences in between them, trying and failing to be overly philosophical and just sounding confused/high (which was only an issue in the very end), and, of course, her inability to vary the appearances of her characters (2 possible faces, 4 possible hairstyles, 3 possible hair colors = 24 possible distinguishable characters, any more and you can't tell them apart). All in all, it was a really good series and I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Started strong but the end was bland. There wasn't much resolution for any of the characters; it seemed like they all just kept up with or abandoned their poisonous relationships while still pining away for someone else. Not to mention, the plot had quite a few areas that felt like complete rip-offs of Anatolia Story, but not done near as well, which was a bit of an annoyance. But it wasn't a complete waste of time, I'd just recommend stopping at volume 6.

This one was hilarious! And, thankfully, not too long!

I liked it, despite the fact that the main guy was a demanding asshole. Not much else to say; it's a pretty typical HMR/HYR series complete with all the tropes: guy still in love with beautiful friend who is dating someone else (usually former friend of guy's), said guy falling for main heroine and being screwed over by the main guy and his crush, multiple girls after main guy because he's super rich (and personalities don't matter once your parents have money, apparently), etc...boring

Hmm...can't remember why I like this one in particular so much but I did. It's got all the mix-ins for an HMR/HYR sundae but this one really kept my interest for a long time. Go figure

I found this super cute and enjoyable! And I'm glad the romance took a back seat in this; the main focus really seemed to be the two MC's trying to understand their emotions, including the dark thoughts we have deep inside that come out when we snap. It gave more depth to the characters, especially considering most of your teenage years are spent trying to understand yourself, rather than getting a boyfriend. What a refreshing change of pace!

Can't tell you why but I really liked this one. Maybe because the main character put her friendship above a boy she liked? Or maybe I just liked both male interests. I didn't care for the neighbor, Tomoko, however. I don't know how to put it but considering how easily she switches boyfriends, it's weird (uncharacteristic maybe?) for her to be involved in a serious love triangle. It just made her seem the type who wanted the boyfriend more once she realized another girl liked him, even though the other girl was her friend.
