narutolvr's manga / #shackin up(17)

Cute ^^

Even though it was typical and predictable, it was still an enjoyable read. Good thing it was short; had it dragged on too long, it would have become a chore to read. But at the length now, it's short, sweet, and leaves you wanting more ^^

I rated this so highly mostly because of the main character; I find her absolutely hilarious! And, as someone, with a bit of an older sister complex myself, I completely understand her do or die determination to protect her nee-san. Main guy was an idiot, but he was funny! The ending was a bit...rushed I suppose? I'm surprised it jumped to him being engaged so quickly but it was funny to imagine her as something like a professional wedding crasher lol.

Freakin hilarious!

Hmm...it was quite the letdown. The first chapter set it up to be a much deeper story than it was, with her losing her parents and accidentally sleeping with a middle schooler. But all the consequences of their actions resolved so quickly it didn't make sense (in fact, all the issues resolved so quickly it didn't make sense) and just made for a disappointing waste of time. I can get the comedy angle, but wish the author had tried to make the story at least a bit more cohesive- great comedy mangas are good because have a decent story behind them. This is just way too random for my liking.

Super adorable! Just so sweet ~^.^!

The dad looked way too young (younger than the 18 y.o's!) but the sex scenes were really well done.

This was quite cute!

Though I didn't like it all that much, there's something almost endearing about how honest the mangaka was with these characters. Maybe since it was only 24 pages she didn't feel the need to fill the story with bullshit? But it was refreshing to see a character just come out and say they wanted to feel needed, rather than going on about falling in love with a stranger at first sight or after being raped, etc. It just seemed like a much more realistic explanation for why a person would hang on to a relationship that started off in a pretty volatile way.

I wish they could have caught the stalker. That guy was creepy!
