lilithespark's manga / #Actress(2)

Act-age

Ongoing | matsuki tatsuya | 2000 released

Okay, so I binge read this after rereading “Movies are real,” and they are nothing alike?? Like the MC in “Movies are real” doesn’t actually act. He IS the character. Here, the MC uses method acting to create a scarily realistic representation of her role. I heard this was dropped, but this is a top tier acting manga. She almost loses herself in her acting, which makes reading very exhilarating. Plus, the side characters were interesting like that Araya guy. Every aspect is elevated by the art, so kudos to the artist (they played a key part in the reader’s enjoyment). Such a captivating storyline…. Truly a shame this was cancelled. I wish hell on the writer and heaven on the artist!

A Fortune-Telling Princess

Ongoing | 사이딘 | 2022 released

holy this is so good i read it in one sitting. this is top tier. likable characters (ravi, ludville, alsian, etc.). plus, they’re pretty flushed out? they’re given their own pasts and motives that doesn’t necessarily make them black or white. the fl’s ability to see ghosts adds an extra layer of fun. it is a kind of typical (the fl always having ghosts/men attached to her), but the execution is what makes this so great. there aren’t any plot holes as far as i can tell. even her reincarnation was thoroughly explained. insanely immersive and great read
