Comadrin's manga / #Decent MCs(31)

I liked it. I would like for her ex to have been run over by a porta-john cleaning truck, but you can’t have everything.

I really liked this one. The plot isn't new, of course, but the author and mangaka did a really good job.

ML had some baggage that made him act way too overprotective, but didn't let it turn him into a total jerk. It was so nice to not read about an ML who never understood the word no. FL was pretty nice, too. She didn't believe all the rumors of malicious people and tabloids. And I thank the author and mangaka for having an ML with a noble title who wasn't a nose in the air, entitled jerk, and didn't have hordes of snotty relatives whose only job was to make the FL miserable.

Not bad at all.

Nice story. I almost didn’t recognize it as an Harlequin since the ML didn’t drag her off to bed within moments of meeting her. I enjoyed it.

Cute story, DORKY title. Both her parents were ghastly parents. The mother was a greedy slut and her father pretty much took out his hurt and anger on his innocent daughter, not supporting her at all and making her promise things that hurt her. In quite different ways, both of the parents were “all about me” people.

I enjoyed it, but have one gripe. That's the recurring trope of the monied aristocrat having a hanger-on relative with an obvious mean streak, a foul mouth, and absolutely no manners. Said person almost has to commit child murder to be told to leave. I think that I'm a fairly kind and hospitable type of person, but nasty people like that I have no hesitation whatsoever in showing the door.

What a breath of fresh air after the last few manga involving MLs and families who should be dropped into the Mariana Trench while tied to a battleship anchor. The characters were decent and the story was cute. I wasn't left with the feeling of, "How could a sane woman stay for five minutes in this a**hole's company, let alone be in love with him?"

Trope story line, but the mangaka did a decent job of it. ML started off pretty dumb, but he was an alright guy, and he got more sensitive to her needs. He still understood women about as much as I understand the intricacies of superstring theory.

Kind of a trope, but it was nicely done. They sure didn't communicate well, though! I guess that lack is what makes most Harlequins tick, though.
