kei_k's manga / #My Manga Boyfriend(14)

Ahhhh, I really want an Itou for myself... He's too good to be true yet he's not exactly perfect... But being an understanding and open-minded person as he is, I feel like his type is someone who'll surely suit me. His not so good moment in this manga was when Fujioka, who resembled him a lot and had a more convenient and favorable position to date Shimada appeared, and he got too caught up being an adult and not realizing his jealousy, causing them to drift further apart. His unease was unwarranted, knowing how Shimada felt towards Fujioka at the time was pure. But I guess, it can't be helped, because it was only a matter of time when the conditions could lead off that direction and he was simply afraid to watch his lover fall for someone else. I would to. The bad thing there was that, even though he was someone who'd always preferred talking about feelings and problems openly to each other so they can resolve it quickly, he kept mum about it. But oh well, I'd say Shimada was too naive back then to not realize that Fujioka was a possible threat to sensei. Anyhow, I'd still want him. He's the type of guy who'd patienly wait for you and love you unconditionally even when things get tough. I mean, let's face it. The reason why he decided to separate was because he felt Shimada was gradually wavering (from the moment she talked about Fujioka happily)... Well there's that... If I have to say, I guess there were too many love rivals that it got pretty annoying, but I salute Sensei for not wavering even once. Itou Sensei - Nakajima sensei (co-worker : dumped her... refused to 'comfort' her even when she needed it the most), Misaki (ex-student, ex-girlfriend : let her stay the night when she came crying and being desperate, but he stayed in his car... afterwards, clearly told her off.), Arisa (aggressive and persistent freshman : was considerate since he's a teacher and protected her because he was in the position to... he sensed her dangerous vibe early on so he hinted on to Shimada... didn't give in to her advances despite all her tactics and drawn the line early on.) Shimada - Katayama (goukon guy : dated him halfheartedly 'cuz she's rebellious), Nagisa (pushy and persistent freshman who reminded her of her past determined self : claimed she didn't want to hurt him so gave in and went out with him a couple of times), Fujioka (same-aged Archery club pres who resembled Itou in a lot of ways : heart wavering because it's like dating sensei but being more comfortable and open about it... since the beginning, she admired his form saying he's beautiful and whatnot, and she easily spilled her thoughts and feelings that she couldn't open up even to sensei. In other words, her perfectly safe haven.) See the difference? Err well. Anyway, it's really hard to judge Shimada that badly 'cuz every teenager has her troubles. I mean, I probably would've felt and done the same, who knows. But if my guy was someone like Itou, I feel like I can truly believe in true love. But how do I know that my guy would be like Itou anyway? Do we have to go through the same ordeals? 'Coz if we do, I'm not sure I can handle it before I even confirm he's like Itou... ahh well. I'm just so in love with Itou. He's my ideal, mature guy. And it's a bonus that he's tall and wears glasses, really. Super attractive and lovable, not just with the appearance, but personality as well (I really like the cold vibes he gives off but being very caring with someone he loves)...

MINE KOUICHI. <3 He's exactly my type of guy. If he wore glasses, he'd be more perfect for me, but his normal self is already more than enough. Perhaps it's because of him that I appreciated my ex more before and even after our split, I was thinking how it'd be nice if my partner would be someone smart, and from the IT field. lol. Kouichi... I really love him. <3

start/end: March 01, 2020 Loved it, except for how Hosaka aged like that while the others didn't. LOL. Anyway, I like Hosaka's character a lot. He's definitely my ideal guy. His attitude and intelligence, plus him wearing glasses are absolutely my type. XD And ofc, I liked MC as well. She complements the ML in other areas as he's not perfect either. I really like her passion and determination to get along well with the kids, plus she really is cute! :3

Only realized that this has a manhua adaptation today (10/08/20)... I started reading the novel a few months back, but stopped around ch200 (out of 2000+ ch) .. haha! But so far, I liked the story and the ML coz he respects Tangning a lot... The story does get repetitive in ways that Tangning is always asked by netizens to get out of showbiz, only to adore her next, then scorn her again, then adore her again. lol. Anyway, I kind of put off reading the novel before coz I changed my phone and the app I used was no longer available (I preferred reading offline) so yeah, will probably continue reading it soon. Anyway, as for the manhua, hmm I kind of pictured them better in my imagination. I guess I expected more.. I mean, sure, Mo Ting is handsome here, but not as handsome as what I had in mind, I guess. Haha. Anywayyyyyyy... edit (10/26/20) -- Actually finished the novel!!! Yayyyyyy!!! It was really nice. Well, Mo Ting's truly ideal - you know, too good to be true but you'll still want a wife-doting man like him! Ahhhhhh I really loved it overall. There were a lot of face-slapping moments, but like I previously mentioned, those kind of gotten repetitive.. Like, people already realized how often she's slandered and she even face-slapped them a lot of times, but they still repeat the same cycle. lol. And what do you know. If I'd sum up a single adjective to describe Tangning, it is definitely CONTROVERSIAL. The world revolves around her, duh! Everything she does is a big deal to people. lol. Too many jealous people who don't learn from the others and continually challenge her. Anyway, it's not that I dislike them being overly sweet or inlove (though of course, they'd still fall under insta-love), but that made me appreciate their love more. Though they barely knew each other in the beginning, through mutual respect and understanding, they fell in love harder every time. I really appreciated how there weren't serious third party attempts as well. They're just too in love to entertain anyone else. Also loved how their 3 devils had their stories here, but I wish their stories were longer. I mean c'mon, the main story got almost 2000chapters, so why give each kid (well, they've actually become adults) about 50chapters more or less?? Oh well.... :3 start: 10/08/20 up: 10/08/20 - ch 37 [ch 34 is not uploaded here in mangago. so ch 34 here is is actually chapter 35. then ch 35= ch 35&36 (duplicated).. ][update: it's fixed but read ch 60+-90 on bato.to because zinmanga translations had different names.] 04/26/21 ~ ch 116 04/27/21 ~ ch 117 04/30/21 ~ ch 118 https://webnovel.live/manga/trial-marriage-husband-need-to-work-hard-comics/
