lilithespark's manga / #Romance(2257)

5 this story does NOT deserve this bad of a rating. sure, this isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s a decent read. it has funny moments (misunderstanding) and is fairly enjoyable. the angst isn’t overly drawn out and feels accurate to the characters, which is refreshing. fast paced, light read

The plot is very frustrating to read. The FL is extremely passive, and it feels as though the story is just things that HAPPEN to her, not the FL actually living her life. Another thing that gets me going is the ML’s possessiveness of the FL. That’s not love? I get he’s a dragon and all, but he’s still a man… The whole plot with the FL’s brother being alive too… It feels like I’m being strung along. The plot drags too much. There’s no question that the art is absolutely gorgeous, but I hope the story becomes less frustrating… because it’s frustrating in a not-so enjoyable way. 49

am at a loss for words… This is definitely a love triangle romance, but I actually loved this? Which is kind of ironic because I tend to stay away from stuff like that. I really liked how this manga touches on the struggles of people who aren’t “normal” in society, but what even is normal? This really explores the struggles of youth and their struggles towards the future, young love, women and sexism, queerness, toxic masculinity, etc. The storytelling is great, full of complexities and nuances. All the characters have their own perspectives on things, and it feels so realistic that way. I love how they communicate honestly, and it makes everything so raw and refreshing. This is such an EXPERIENCE, and the art is lovely— and I just have so much praise for this. I would say this is kind of lacking in the romance department, but you could also say this is more school life/slice of life.

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)

Felt mostly like I was reading about horny teenagers, which the leads are. Once you get past that, it’s not horrible. I really love the childhood friends to lovers trope, so this is ofc right up my alley. Along with the puppy love fluff, I also appreciated the realism surrounding their relationship, how they should navigate life together, and so on. It’s a typical coming of age story, but it’s executed fairly well. Good read. And the art is so gorgeous!

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”)

yooo wtf was that plot twist in the last chap *sobs* pretty smutty. pretty weird. pretty cute? fluffy? this was one hell of a read.

Fluffy (and smutty) after story! There’s def potential for something more, but I liked this with its school life elements.

They were cute. The MC magically loses weight bc plot. I didn’t quite see the chemistry, but it’s a decent read. Nothing to cry home about though.

Cute, fluffy story. I do wish there was more of the ML’s backstory, but this is a straightforward, light read. Ngl this is pretty mid, but maybe it’s because of this author (whose works I do love) that people are going gaga over it.
