Yane's manga / #Historical(111)

My rating: 9/10 It's quite enjoyable, really funny too. It's written from the ML's pov. He's highly intelligent and devoid of emotions at first. The FL with her pure and energetic nature changes him, it's quite adorable n develops into an (harmless) obsession on his part. What makes this so wholesome is also the "found family" concept. They gradually gather friends around them who support each other. And I really like that here the seemingly senseless obsession of the men with og heroine in the og story is actually explained (and it's a rather unique reason). REINCARNATION, COMEDY Crown prince Cecil (ML) is so brilliant that everything in life is easy to the point of boring him. But during their first meeting, his fiancée Bertia (FL) suddenly proclaims that she's the villainess of an otome game and that she will do everything to fulfill her role and help him find happiness with the og heroine. Quite interesting ...

My rating: 3/10 It's entertaining but not my cup of tea. Although these 3 short stories address some serious topics, they're rather light-hearted bc the FL's are always pretty immature yet determined. REINCARNATION, MODERN DAY 1) A high school girl gets transported into the past and gets told that she's the reincarnation of a warrior. Now she has to help a young man defeat the enemy 2) 2 high school students are in love in spite of their parents's disapproval 3) A high school girl meets a Chinese police officer and helps him during an investigation

My rating: 7/10 I really like the setting, this has potential for a much longer story. The ML's really crazy for her, the kind of obsessive yandere who goes mad after losing her and throws away everything to see her again. She's naive and rather careless. The smut's hot and the art's good too. OBSESSIVE ML, REINCARNATION After being reincarnated into another world the FL becomes the crown prince's fiancee and works hard to fulfil her role. But after a saintess appears the king murders her and she dies in the prince's arms. When she wakes up in the 'real" world again, she swears to never fall in love again ... until one day her fiancee shows up again.

My rating: 4/10 The age gap is kinda concerning, especially at her age, 20 years are too much. And I don't like that it's constantly shown how childlike she is. This feels wrong. The romance itself is sweet tho, the maid is their greatest shipper. And the ML's so hot. This is for u if u like older men. HISTORICAL, AGE GAP A young noble lady is in love with the empress's brother who's a notorious warrior. She believes that he's out of reach, but when she delivers a message to the royal palace, things take a different turn.

My rating: 6/10 I like the FL, she's strong but no invincible girl boss. The story touches on the the darker sides of war but isn't very heavy. The romance is kinda cute. It's all really rushed tho. The smut is just ok. HISTORICAL, WARRIOR, ENEMY After her father and her older brothers died in the war the chief's daughter has to go to the battlefield to defend her country. But during a battle on the sea her army gets defeated and she falls into the water. To her surprise an enemy warrior saves her.

My rating: 9/10 Such a beautiful story. It has all these funny little scenes but got unexpectedly deep and sad. The characters are complex and have reasons for acting the way they do. The FL is the perfect example for a lovely yet strong woman. I especially like her relationship with the dragon, the way he slowly opens up to her. The romance is just a side note. DRAGON, WAR, SITTER A young orphan girl takes on the job of the world's last dragon's sitter. But he's a tsundere drunkard who wants her to leave. Only slowly does she discover his backstory.

My rating: 7/10 This is pretty good, especially for a harlequin. The FL's strong, the ML's charming and loving and the romance is pretty sweet. And the overall plot is interesting and well-paced too. HISTORICAL, JESTER, PRINCESS After her father dies a sudden death a young princess flees from her fiancee she suspects is the killer. She meets a young jester and pays him to accompany her to the Queen's court to get her help. But in order to get there safely, she has to disguise herself as a boy.

My rating: 5/10 It's a harlequin so of course it's overly dramatic. What bothers me more is the fat-shaming. But the story overall is quite interesting and has a good length. A better version of this would be "Glass Wall". HISTORICAL, SECRET IDENTITY The daughter of a wealthy commoner falls in love with a charismatic aristocrat but rejects him when she finds out that he wants her only for her money. Years later, her family has fallen into ruin and she meets him again when she becomes his daughter's governess.

My rating: 5/10 It's not too bad for a harlequin, I actually like the murder mystery better than the romance. The ML has a bad attitude towards her and doesn't listen at first, but at least the FL is mature and friendly. HARLEQUIN, TIME TRAVEL, MURDER During a party at a book fair, an editor sees a portrait of a woman who allegedly committed suicide. To her surprise, the woman's ghost appears and sends her to the past to clear her name together with her colleague's older brother.
