lilithespark's manga / #Hairdresser(4)

i’m not expecting much from this if i’m entirely honest. the premise is very… horny lmao. there’ll probably be a lot of nsfw and a love angle ofc. maybe a sprinkle of trifling misunderstandings. i hope this proves me wrong! i can say the art is good, though.

I’m sorry to say… but this was a bunch of clichés wrapped in one. Reading the first chapter I could only sigh. Like the black mail / almost rape plot in the beginning. Then the ML spends a few chapters redeeming himself… The MC just falls in love with the ML without rhyme or reason… I really liked the career aspect of this manga (the hair styling/ modeling), but as a romance, it’s just mid. The characters lack depth, and story lacks originality in terms of progression. I’m unimpressed to say the least. Good art, though.

the pacing was atrocious. but this was cute! i feel like it needed another chapter to really develop their relationship. to me, the whole getting-together part felt very rushed. had potential but poor execution

This author dropped yet another banger… I loved this! Loved the gorgeous art. I also liked the characters. The MC is asocial, sleep deprived, has trauma, but is also resilient. The ML is kind of like your typical ikemen, but he’s compassionate. What really drove me to this story was the portrayal of the MC’s trauma, which manifests as facial blindness. It’s very realistic and his journey in overcoming it is relatable and immersive. Can’t wait for volume 2!
