kei_k's manga / #Naive Female Lead(10)

Her plan of revenge was so foolish. I mean, sure, if she wanted to make him feel what she did, she could've done it without actually sleeping with him. I mean, how could you even stomach sleeping with someone you hate so much? Oh well, they say there's a thin line between love and hate, and she was certainly not even firm with her resolution.

Ch 13 was seriously annoying. She was aware that she HAS A BOYFRIEND AND SHE COULD'VE PUSHED MINAMI AWAY AFTER THAT FIRST FORCED KISS, BUT WHAT DID SHE DO? SHE KISSED HIM BACK FOR LIKE TWO MORE TIMES. SHE PROBABLY HAS DONE MORE IF SHE DIDN'T NOTICE KANNA SAW THEM. Ugh. I liked how there were so many kisses though.

Didn't like any of the female leads.. They were loose and didn't have enough resolve, and didn't repent much for their sins. Urk. Irritating. I read it til the end hoping for a better story.. Well, at least in the last story, the heroine clearly opposed the other guy's advances.

finished til 96.5 @ otakumole (06/26/18) http://otakumole.ch/?page=manga&manga=47085&s=MTUzMDAxMTE5MC0xNTk2MQ== was annoyed with a lot of rival arcs, but I like their relationship overall.. I was particularly irked with the Leon arc (around ch59-81, I think??) cos it was dragged on for too long and it was just too hard to read.

Last: ch 45 @ otakumole

ch 20 // skimmed the raws. as usual, abrupt ending. like, the problem isn't resolved until the last volume then it just suddenly ends as soon as they get back together. (Yeah, it's always like this. After the main couple gets together, they'll break up and won't make up until the last chapter and we'll only be given a few pages of lovey dovey after the conflict, when we should see more progress now that their issue's solved..) Also, as usual.. birth secrets and kidnapping the strong female lead and be rescued by male MC. XD [translations seem to be on indefinite hiatus]

ch21 last chapter read: Ch 24 @ otakumole http://otakumole.ch/?page=manga&manga=95372&s=MTQ4OTY3ODUwNC0xNTk2MQ==

Not that realistic being 15 but I just imagined them a bit older than that.. While there were a lot of times where it got frustrating or repetitive, I did enjoy and realized some aspects of romantic relationship here. The art is kinda old style but the guys were quite attractive too. Girls have the usual half-face sizes eyes too so yeah. Also, it helped that the guy was a stick to one type even though he's popular. Well, he's on the cold side so he appears to be disinterested overall but I appreciated how he was also making efforts for her.

ch9 Currently has until ch12, but decided to stop at ch9 because I don't think it will be continued and the story so far was already quite satisfying. I mean, if I continue, there might be another arc that wouldn't be complete since translations stopped. Alam mo 'yun? Mabibitin lang ako. lol. So far, this is better than the first mostly because of their age. And well, it's interesting to see an early marriage plan for now, because if it were the old me, I would've thought that was really romantic and all, but now, I just don't think it's practical because I realized marriage is beyond LOVE. Especially at their age... Sure, Uehara's pretty matured, but he missed out a lot from his youth due to him being a workaholic to survive. I worry that this could really be an issue later on.. Also, Nao is still very immature so it's quite hard to see how she'll cope with marriage life.. Mostly it's because I get frustrated when she spends too much on things she doesn't really want (mostly just get swayed by other people's opinion)... Errr I just think it takes two matured adults willing to compromise to make a relationship (especially a marriage) work. Uehara's very busy with school and work so he barely has time for Nao but I like that even if it's like that, he remains faithful. It's a bit worrisome that he hangs out with girls nonchalantly when they offer him treats to food though, because it could totally be taken advantage of later on. lol.
