lilithespark's manga / #strong female lead(258)

When i quit being mother in law, everyone become obsessed with me

Ongoing | | 2019 released

I like this! It’s about family and warmth, but it also has those typical struggles a noble family faces (aka politics). So far, it’s been very sweet.Liliana and Elliot are so cute. It’s cute how Elliot fell for Liliana at first sight. Anyway, I also love how this has balanced (and fluffy) family dynamics. Neither Elliot or Alexei “compete” for Annariche’s affection. Ofc there’s miscommunication and all that jazz, but still an enjoyable read.

The Empress Lipstick

Ongoing | Keopikong | 2022 released

41 ATS Art’s great, and the story is relatively interesting. I like how the outfits stay somewhat true to the times and don’t look like some regurgitated fantasy set-up. Not sure I’m liking the romance with the prince though…. Funny though. Enjoyed.

The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess

Ongoing | Nekotarou | 2000 released

This manga is so goddamn good. Like I think I was waiting my entire life to read this. Okay, maybe not, but I stand by what I said. I love the isekai setting, and the characters are so memorable with their unique settings. The art is very beautiful, and ngl reading the panels of the MC and the villainess FL make me squeal. Heart pounding romance that’s interesting at the same time. What is hiding behind the FL’s facade…. And what about the original heroine? I quite like the MC because she went through bring a corporate slave and is slowly doing what she wants to do.

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!

How To Survive as the Devil's Child

Ongoing | Lee hyun sung,Lee eun tak | 2022 released

37 Not much info so far on the duke’s past. Very slow but I do like the nature of the story. The OP MC was reborn as the child of the “devil” she so disposed yet finds there’s another truth to be uncovered.

Talented baby squirrel

Ongoing | | 2019 released

I really love this! I’m a sucker for the doting family (esp father) trope. The MC is just so lovable… She’s the cutest squirrel princess, and I like that, as of now, it’s not very romance-focused. The MC is doing her best to live a better life that her previous one, punishing her abusers and all that. The characters are pretty cool, even the first prince, the potential ML. Like he’s a dragon??! The setting is also relatively unique with some of the characters being able to transform into animals.

It’s My First Time Being Loved

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I like this? Another reincarnation manhwa with kids that don’t necessarily act like kids. I like the slice of life and the underlying mystery abrewing. The ML looks to be Mikhail. Anyway, I like the characters. They all have their own personalities and issues, so they feel more real in a sense. 43

Rejected Lady Enjoying a Modest Life

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Only 37 chapters in and I’m riveted! I’m in love with the setting and the characters. A lot of manhwa have settings with demons in them, but this one of the first times I’m so interested in the protagonist. Her dynamic character makes her feel real! I appreciate that she doesn’t just take things standing. She isn’t a walking stereotype, and I quite like that the romance is well integrated in the plot. The ML’s pretty cool, too.

Doctor Resignation

Ongoing | | 2019 released

This is fairly good! I love the doctor-y elements. This doesn’t feel cliché at all, and I like that the leads have their own personalities. The FL is pragmatic, and “realistic,” befitting of her mental age while the ML is a bit extreme and obsessive due to his lack of education. I like the art and the storyline. Just makes you want to cheer for Rita and her “found family.”

Kenrantaru Grande Scène

Ongoing | Cuvie | 2000 released

This is one of the best, if not the best, manga about ballet I’ve ever read. I regret not reading this sooner because I was put off by that romance tag… The MC’s actually extremely career driven and works hard to her dreams!! Not so much romance (as of yet). Inspiring story. I love her fiery, headstrong character and her generally bright approach to problems. I find that a majority of the side characters’ backstories are very compelling. They don’t feel one dimensional at all as they all march toward their respective paths. It’s honestly kind of rare to find female characters that are written so independently. The art is so easy on the eyes that I think it does a seriously great job at expressing the beauty of ballet. It also stands its ground as an exciting sports manga. Can’t wait for more chapters!!
