lilithespark's manga / #Beautiful Art(365)

this is insanely well written. the conflict between the north and the south feels realistic. the character development of the MC is also quite tangible. she goes from a pampered noble lady to a girl who does not care about status. her personal growth too and the themes of letting go of regret. just love that. but the ML… phew THAT PLOT TWIST WAS SO GOOD?! no spoilers but it’s been such a long time since a story has managed to rivet me like this. the characters are all nuanced, even the mc’s killer and ex-lover. art is good. really good story 45

This story is so good! At first I didn’t know where they were going with the MC (Shiori)’s trauma, but the author actually portrayed it quite well— the abuse and also her journey of healing from it. It’s scarily accurate at depicting the corruption that often happens behind closed door and to foreign women. It’s a good blend of fantasy and reality. The MC’s “housekeeping” magic is quite novel in adventurer settings like these imo. One of the things I really love in isekai is when the protagonist longs for the homeland because I think anyone would in that scenario. I love the romance between Shiori and Alec (ML). It just really screams supportive, and I love all the other side characters of well, all of which have depth and truly care for the MC. Such a great read! I only regret not finding this sooner.

33.2 Absolutely love this! The romance is slow, but the execution is so good! I absolutely love their mutual pining and first love vibes. It’s really interesting how the MC is a magic artisan, but I like how she doesn’t make things perfectly the first time. She works with other to improve her creations, but at the same time her modern mindset does make her kind of OP? Anyway, the writing is so realistic. Her ex is a jerk, but his mindset towards women reflects common sentiment held by men.

46 So cute! I like the slow romance. The title is weird, but give this a chance!

This is actually a pretty nice read. The two leads are perfect for each other. They’re both “intense” regarding relationships. They’re also kind of twisted? Like others have said, the MC goes after taken men and the ML gives stalkerish vibes. They’re pretty cute at the end though, and I loveeee the art. Classic miscommunication plot but cute

8 Ahh I really love this. You don’t really see archeology mixed with ML. This is really interesting and cute! Loved the metaphors/general writing style. I liked how the leads are pretty open about being gay.

32 Interesting! I’m liking the leads’ relationship development. The art is really good

Finally not a tragic yuri… but still pretty angsty, though. I really loved this! It really showcases the very real struggles of lesbianism, having to deal with heteronormativity, homophobia, misogyny, etc. I thought it was quite refreshing that the FL is pregnant, but it’s not seen as something to be ashamed of. The storytelling is so beautiful and realistic, and even the FL’s abusive husband has trauma like he isn’t just some one dimensional bad man interfering with their relationship (though he’s still a jerk)

It’s a decent manga. Tbh the art carries. I do like the author depicts other forms of queerness, though (e.g. sapphics, “fem boys”)

25 I’m actually pretty invested. The MC’s father is pathetic, but the rest of the story is pretty interesting. The MC makes contracts with spirits, has memories of her past life, and so on
