narutolvr's manga / #josei(41)

Aww it was cute! Although the end tied up a tad too neatly for my tastes (Harry Potter 7 anyone?), it was still a nice story over all!

What! Never marked this as read?!!! I read this twice already, will probably read it again at some point, and I just loved it! Even though I just love stories that involve long revenge plots, this really set itself apart due to the characters' depth. I even found myself feeling sorry for Charles at the end, despite hating his guts for nearly the entire manga!

I didn't care for it somehow. Guess it just wasn't my type of story?

Once again, kinda meh. Maybe I'm just not fond of this author? The art was great and the stories were cute enough, but I just couldn't form any sort of emotional connection with any of the characters. I guess it feels like the sex comes too quickly without much emotional buildup, and then the characters just fall in love when they're done. The first story was actually pretty good since we really got to see the characters fall for each other. Also never understood why the 3rd story ended the way it did. Was the woman actually his fiance? Did the MC ever oust her as a psychopath?

Yay continuation of Heart no Ousama!!!!! No, but really, the main story was really cute as well, even if it didn't inflict the same sort of inexplicable attachment I feel to the characters of HNO.

Natsumi, a young energetic new worker at a real estate/home building company, struggles to succeed at her job while winning her boss's affections. While her love-at-first-sight enamoration with Toujou kaichou is the undercurrent for the manga, the chapters mainly focus on her trying to find her strengths as a female newbie in a male dominated field. Cute, funny, and well done! Scratch that- hilarious! And I really love mangas where the MC inspires the people around her AND experiences her own character growth.

Is it really completed? That didn't even pretend to have an ending! Meanwhile, it was pretty funny lol- the MC was an idiot, but a bearable idiot.

So I'm guessing they didn't lose their memories after all? But I thought the plot was fairly unique and well executed, even though the author did have that little hiccup with future Touya not remembering Maiko (unless she and Nagasei broke up quick?). But with so many separate time travel incidents, it's pretty amazing she only made 1 plot error. All in all, a solid story! I didn't feel anything from the love triangle, though; seemed thrown in just to extend the plot.

A really interesting collection of stories. Even though the guys in the first two pissed me off, it still had valuable lessons about learning to accept only what you want from a relationship- no need to compromise yourself into sharing a partner. The second one was especially painful; taking back a cheating boyfriend is a decision that just makes my heart hurt!

It was frustrating and I wanted to stop reading several times, but, in the end, I'm glad I finished it. All in all, I can't say I particularly liked any of the characters, except maybe Shina whose only problem was chuunibyou. Can't say I liked any of the stories, either. But I didn't dislike the manga at all. I suppose it was one of those stories that made me think "Ah the follies of youth!" Though I'm certainly glad none of my follies were as stupid as some of these! I will forever hate Kitano; he's a manipulative asshole jackass. But, I hate Atsuko too- she's so in love with the idea of being in love, she lets herself be manipulated. But, as twisted as it is, you can still see there's some weird form of love (or maybe codependence? mutual wound licking?) there. I think I would have liked to see a brief snapshot of their futures, or at least some proof that they became somewhat reasonable adults. Because at the rates they seem to be going, most of them are headed for destruction!
