Tanssia's manga / #shoujo(343)

oh my goodness. what do I even say about this??? lol I have so many conflicting emotions. Like, I still feel like she's almost cheating him? What with her natural age being 60 and him being 17. And I mean unless it turns out he's also an old man? or she'll stay and age normally like that from now on??? And rei? I also thought they would be together what with the cover being like that, but I hope he remains the ever faithful cupid and gets his own fiance, bc I don't like love triangles. And I just don't know. I like her bc she's brave and cute and not annoying, but I'm also worried about this story, bc I feel like there could be something that makes me hate it considering that I haven't found a shoujo I liked in a realllly, really long time.

Nanase's brother brings home one of his friends. The two are quite unlike their fellow peers in that they're both adorably shy and awkward and aren't good with the opposite gender(lol, why is this the story of my life?). Bc of thin walls and an oni onii-chan, the two soon get together, despite some troubles along the way. We'll see how it goes, but I'm just saying: THEY ARE BOTH SO FREAKING ADORABLE!! And I'm kind of in love with her brother; he's cool.

oh my gosh, I knew whenever she had that overreaction that this could easily tread into super shoujo territory and I was right. Man, it had such potential, but everything was just so...predictable. Why did they have to have the transformation? Not just on the mangaka, but on the girl too? 12 year old me would have loved this.

Oh I knew the artwork was familar! It was the lady that drew Coffee and Vanilla! Super shoujo at your service. Tbh, I was looking forward to character development. Her being less of a prissy queen who always got what she wanted. Him being serious and showing her that you shouldn't fool with people's feelings. but, alas, it remains as a oneshot.

she writes the same characters with different names. i love that it's age gap, but that's about the only thing i love.

im so conflicted about this manga! I kind of ship them, but then it's like ehhhh they're more parent x kid and my lolicon radar is going off and i just don't know...I wish she just looked more mature? or was older? I just keep getting this uncomfortable vibe, but then they're like cute and the story is so well written, but I'm still uncomfortable, but I want to know the end??? lol.

eh.

idk why but these kinds of girl leads make me so angry. and irritated. ugh. i'm so jaded.
