lilithespark's manga / #Beautiful Art(365)

This was so cute! I enjoyed reading about their detective shenanigans and them flirting while doing it haha. Their pets are too adorable like the fat cat and the parrot. I liked the extra where we got to see more of their dynamic as lovers. Good, comedic read.

36 the misunderstandings r so ughhh. the fl has no autonomy and just does nothing when faced with unfairness i get it but she’s also just bland. so is the ml and the rest of the cast. snooze fest

too friggin short. the fl having second male lead syndrome is so real. they were so sweet; i need a slow burn ver!! i love plots like this. the mc “helps” the ml confess to the one who he supposedly likes, but he actually like him! art was super good as well

25 I forgot how something without harem can be… so refreshing!! I’ve been reading so much garbage lately. There’s a potential FL, but she can hold her own weight and doesn’t depend on the MC or anything. This isn’t just your ordinary “slow life” manga. I quite like how spirits are a large focus on the manga. Plus, he’s literally befriended gods?? Bro is OP but not in the typical way… yet still OP.

At first, I found this story to be very confusing with the world building and all (plus all the things not explained about this future the MC travels to). Now, I find it quite interesting! I think it does get better as it goes on. It’s darker than I first imagined, but I think the MC’s reactions are quite realistic. The dynamic between her and Ram is kind of weird (she’s technically his subordinate and the dude apparently hates humans). Not sure how the romance subplot will unfold. The plot is very creative, though. From the MC’s ability to the unique setting— I’ve never read anything like this before.

So interesting! I like the characters, and the storytelling is both subtle and masterful. The art is very good at communicating that. The characters all have their own quirks and things that make them THEM. They’re all very distinct. I like the MC’s abilities, too. A sniper ability? Very cool. The action is pretty good, and I like that this has male characters that aren’t necessarily love interests. I just find the upcoming romance subplot a bit weird. *SPOILER WARNING* It looks like the ML is the system administrator, but I personally have trouble fathoming how they could have a romance… I was hoping the returnee would be the ML, but oh well.

The only problem is that this is too short. How could the author make such a hunk of a man, but only use him for like 20 chapters??? *cough* Irami. This author has like two other long running works, but this potential masterpiece gets the short end of the stick for some reason. *cough* Sasaki to Miyano. Also, I just couldn’t get into all of the characters, especially the side ones. It kind of felt like your typical coming of age story? One thing the story nailed was the portrayal of the MC’s anxiety. It was very realistic and relatable. The writing altogether is so masterful, and most of the characters are multifaceted and have their own struggles. However, I wanted Oniwa and Irami’s relationship to be expanded upon a bit more!! That aside, this was an above average acting manga.

I didn’t like how the plot progressed at first, but it got better as the story went on I think. The way the conflict was resolved felt refreshing. The Sumika Sumika showed others was also a part of her, persona or not. So questioning the difference between the TV Sumika and her real self might not have mattered all that much. I liked the themes of teenage friendship/angst, and contrary to what others might think, I actually liked the romance! Sure, it wasn’t typical, and it didn’t exactly have a label, but I think these types of romance are quite underrated. Ito definitely grew as a character, from someone who’s bland to someone who actually takes initiative. I liked when the author was a little more subtle in the storytelling, too (e.g. them discreetly telling us that Sumika’s uncle is gay). Overall, this was an interesting manga exploring the idol fantasy.

Very funny and entertaining read! I liked the mundaneness of it all. Just them living their lives. Fuantei is such a relatable character with her asocial-ness, and Shikkari balances it out. Them both being otakus adds another layer of relatable comedy.

this is pretty good! very light and calming read. i ofc love the food elements. all the side characters are generally charming (e.g. vil and aria). i just want more!! 16.2
