Yane's manga / #Harlequin(85)

My rating: 7,9/10 I liked it. It was corny, especially the end, but it was sweet and I really liked the main couple. The ML was considerate ans it all was just very wholesome. HOTEL, MEMORY LOSS, JAZZ After a car crash, a famous jazz vocalist loses her memory. Shortly before, she traded her label for the hotel of the ML's brother who died in the accident. Now, the ML wants her to void the contract, but she refuses to do it until she remembers, so they go to the hotel together.

My rating: 7,8/10 The ML was really caring, everyone was nice except for the traumatised FL actually. But well, healing her trauma with love real quick works in harlequin I guess. MARRIAGE, PREGNANCY When her lover for 2 years proposes to her, the FL cruelly declines bc she's afraid of love. But 3 months later, she returns to him pregnant with his baby and asks for a marriage for the child's sake.

My rating: 7,6/10 The FL is quite shifty. She actually lied to him about taking the pill to secretly get his baby. I mean I get that she loves him, he's awesome, but that's a bit ... yea nah ... BOSS, PREGNANCY, AUCTION The FL wants children but she's too busy with work to date anyone. One day, she participates in an auction planning to get a baby from a stranger and wins a date with her boss whom she secretly loves.

My rating: 8,3/10 It was full of emotion, I loved it. She is such a queen singing "queen of the night" after he dumped all his cooked up assumptions on her and stabbing a knife into his table. I really enjoyed his regret. OPERA SINGER, FINANCIAL GAP When the ML hears that his naive younger cousin has been into a bar singer lately and spent some money, he assumes that she is using him and approaches her to protect him. What he doesn't know is that she is actually a humble opera singer who works at the bar as a side job.

My rating: 8/10 The beginning was just meh, it was a bit much the ML walking around naked like a greek god. But it got better and the story actually is about seeing people for who they really are and being there for each other ehen in difficult times. It's pretty wholesome. BLIND ML, VACATION When the FL goes on vacation in her uncle's house at a beach, she encounters a naked, blind man, her neighbour. He turns out to be a famous sculpturer who lost his eyesight one year ago in a car accident and couldn't work since then.

My rating: 8,3/10 The art is so beautiful!! I like the characters, it's interesting as they're not stereotypical for harlequin, especially the ML. He's a bit serious and odd in a good way. But I don't get why being a wife equals being employed. MARRIAGE, DOCTOR The FL was raised by her uncle and worked at his clinic as a nurse. When he dies, her cousin moves into the house, she loses her job and her fiancee call off the engagement. But when she lost everything, her uncle's former acquaintance offers her to marry him to her and to raise his reputation.

My rating: 7,5/10 It was alright. The ML's face looked a bit like a plank, but the art was ok otherwise. I liked that the FL didn't forget all about her trauma right away with their first kiss, it was more realistic. Her ex is abusive scum, he got what he deserved. MARRIAGE, WILL, TRAUMA Before he died, the FL's father made arrangements with a wealthy businessman in order to save his company and get her a husband. Now she has to marry the former playboy, but she isn't ready for love due to her past trauma.

My rating: 7,8/10 The ML is a bit of a coward. He basically watches her all the time until the last couple of pages and thus seems pretty cold. His proposal came a bit out of the blue. The FL is an angel. She's so kind and flawless, it wouldn't surprise me if she began to shine or something. DOCTOR, CHILDREN, FINANCIAL GAP When the children at the nursery she works at suffer from food poisoning, the FL loses her job. Luckily, a handsome doctor she met in the process recommends her to his sister as a temporary nanny.

My rating: 8,4/10 It was so sweet, I really enjoyed reading it. They were all so likable and eager to make each other happy. The story was a bit like a derivation of Cinderella. I'm glad her evil uncle's family didn't appear much. HISTORICAL, CHRISTMAS, CHILDREN When Christmas is near, the FL's uncle and his family go to visit their friends for a week and leave the orphaned young lady alone at the manor with only two servants. But then, in the middle of a blizzard, an ex-soldier arrives with his servant and his two children asking for a place to stay.

My rating: 8,6/10 I loved this story. Both the main leads were good and as there's the ML's pov too, you can watch him fall for her. The both have an actual personality and aren't as flat characters as those I'm used to. The FL is strong, a real queen. HISTORICAL, VIKING, MARRIAGE When her cruel stepfather wants to force her into marrying a stranger, the FL plans her abduction with her best friend. But when they try to flee, a viking stops her and takes her to her relatives castle. From there, she shall go on as planned, but then feelings begin to bloom between her and the viking.
