Cinnamon Milk TEA's manga / #Romance(735)

Interesting a masochistic ~ innocent soul like ?~ Yakuza getting rapped by a shady hot tattoo artist... No it wasn't a good story at all so confusing. yakuza stories arent sunshine and rainbows, but this one just left a bitter tasts to the tongue. there's like, no reason for all this idk. like. why did he listen when that basically-random guy told him to put a tattoo on him (like, how did that benefit the head?), why he was introduced to that tattoo artist if the head knew the guy was shady, and like how pathetic he was that he let his guard down so much he got stabbed by a random mob. also like who the tattoo artist guy actually was and why did the head had to cut off his whole arm? idk, nothing makes sense and the end was so rushed there was no closure at all aside from the cheap 'turns-out-you're-still-alive' reunion.

It wasn't that bad despite the obliviously forceful first time but at the same time every interaction between them was forceful and one-sided so yeah consent was thrown out the window but it's good and even the date manipulation things came after genuine and straight forward confession didn't make it.

This is the author first work and it's was good I especially like the comical ending. _______ This story follows a familiar trajectory within the Korean university romance genre: the FL begins with a crush on her senior, for some reason he's no good. In contrast, the male lead emerges as the genuine romantic interest, offering her the care and stability she truly needs. What distinguishes this work from others in the genre is its tone. The characters maintain a light-hearted, playful dynamic that gives the story a refreshing, comedic charm. The diary referenced in the title makes only a brief appearance, almost like a cameo, before disappearing from the narrative. Interestingly, journaling resurfaces later in the form of unsent letters the heroine writes to herself—a small detail that adds sweetness and emotional depth. The main drawback lies in the pacing. Certain events unfold too quickly, making the chronology difficult to follow. The breakup between the leads, for instance, felt particularly unclear. It was hard to determine who ended things, why it happened, or how they ultimately reconciled, which weakened the emotional impact of that arc. The “villain” senior is another area where the story falters. While his motivations had some potential, his characterization felt underdeveloped and inconsistent. It almost seemed as though the author liked him too much to fully commit to making him a true antagonist. His apathetic demeanor was framed as part of his personality, but it should not excuse the toxic way he expressed his feelings. Worse, his actions carried no real consequences, and the female lead continued to tolerate his presence in her life as though nothing had happened. This lack of accountability made his role feel unsatisfying and undermined the emotional stakes of the story. On the visual side, the art is strikingly pretty—especially notable given that this is the author’s first work. Despite its flaws, the story remains charming, light, and enjoyable. For readers who appreciate classic university romances with a playful twist, it is certainly worth recommending.

That was actually so good, a cute romance, especially with all the sexy scenes. Housekeeper x salesmen client. There isn't much of a plot in here, yet love the fact that there were no slutshamming and the miscommunication trope was used well. Can't wait for the colleges and childhood friend spinoff

I wish to have read it through but it scrolled over and it's okay
