narutolvr's manga / #shoujo(188)

I stopped reading at 40th chapter but am not putting it in dropped because I'd finish it if I were less bored/tired. But, as it is, the end is pretty predictable, and I don't feel like watching the main couple flounder about for 7 more chapters just to finally date properly. Only wish for Zen to be happy with the bishoujo. And maybe the dad to get some comeuppance for being a perennial asswipe. But, overall, it wasn't bad. Despite the fact that it was built on a pretty shaky premise (who the hell goes to live with 3 strangers?), it had its funny moments. It did drag on (I thought chapter 24 was only a few chapters out from the end lol), but it comes with the territory I guess.

I guess it's okay for one of HMR's manhwas? A bit dull and very little actual resolution but I'm kind of just glad that she didn't put out another 14 volume series that would have ended after 6 had the author not drudged up pointless side character after character.

Really cute and sweet! I do wish the author spent more time hashing out the past life drama though. It was such a promising backdrop to the story!

The plot seemed a little...out there? Ridiculous? But still enjoyable. The mangaka did a great job pulling out the characters' emotions though, and seemed to have a real knack for painting dark emotions onto a seemingly lighthearted plot. As such, I find it rather difficult to classify this as shoujo, or even josei. The ending was definitely very rushed, which was a disappointment after all the emotional buildup beforehand. The scene with Setsu's email was absolutely beautiful and heartwrenching, though, and had me sobbing for longer than I'd like to admit. TT_TT

Cute? Story about a witch who saves a 5th prince, falls in love, and then has to overcome the kingdom's scorn to marry her love now that he's been given the title of king. And all while dodging the 1st prince who's doing whatever he can to take the right to rule back. Ending was dull; I felt like the last 2 chapters could have been more interesting, and we could have gotten a much better resolution with the older brother.

Bad message, okay everything else.

The first one was...alright, I guess? It was so predictable I knew where it was going by the 4th or 5th page, but I quite liked the MC (who didn't think of him badly just because he seemed nerdy) so I wouldn't have minded a few more chapters. The second story was kinda dumb. Nothing enjoyable about it; the characters didn't have any depth and the "romance" seemed to come out of nowhere. The girl was dramatic- not in terms of relationships, but just in how she overreacted to every single thing that happened.

It's sad but I'm glad I finished it. The uncle was still kind of an asshole, manipulating everyone else's emotions just to get his way. I'm really glad everything worked out with Yuu-kun though. Wish I could see their family life! ^.^

High school girl runs away to Tokyo to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. One step before being homeless, she finds an inexpensive boarding house with one condition: all tenants must be beautiful. Review: Uh...okay I guess? It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. A solid shoujo- great for passing time.

An adventure loving king passes away, leaving his only daughter with nothing but stories of the world and a vague description of the priceless treasure he left for her. Unfortunately for the princess, her cautious mother becomes even more overprotective after the king's passing, and her only route to escaping her cage is through her imagination. That is, of course, until the 3 beasts, an infamous thief trio, arrive at the castle in hopes of capturing that treasure for themselves... REALLY cute story!
