Yane's manga / #Josei(179)

My rating: 7,3/10 It was a cute story. I especially liked the FL's little brother and the fact that the romance actually developed. MEMORY LOSS, RESTAURANT When she and her little brother find the arrogant and rich politican who planned to evict them at their dorstep and he claims to have lost his memory, they decide to deceive him and make him their apprentice at their stakehouse.

My rating: 8/10 This was so wholesome, I loved it. The FL was captivatingly cheerful and honest, not this kind of insecure and weak FL. She managed to teach the formerly cold ML real love. CHILD, FINANCIAL GAP, REUNION One year after she left the ML, they meet again at the bar she works at. Unbeknown to him, they have a child she raises with her mother and grandmother. But can she trust the man again who only met her in secret?

My rating: 8,2/10 It's a nice take on Dickens. I really like the story's message: one should seek for love and happiness instead of money and goods. It has a happy ending. MASION, COMMONER, HISTORICAL A commoner who made a lot of money by himself buys a mansion and intends to run a factory in the nearby village using modern machines. But when he meets a beautiful commoner lady, he begins to question his focus on money alone.

My rating: 3/10 Oh my, the story is as pink as the ink it's drawn with. The FL is this typical weak and immature "I'm sooo plain but I'm different" girl and the build-up for the romance is pretty bad.. Read it if you want cliché, the concept is cute. STAR, DATE CONTEST As her brother participated in a date contest under her name and won the first price, the FL has to go on a date with a famous singer. But when she falls for him, she decides to hide her feelings as they're from different worlds.

My rating: 7/10 It was ok. The romance wasn't developed in a good way as the ML always thought of his dead wife but I liked the relationship of the FL and his daughter. JUDGE, CHILD, THEFT When her boyfriend deceives her and makes her his accomplice for stealing a painting, the FL tries to run away. On the train, she meets a judge and his daughter and he promises to help her if she stays at his mansion and takes care of his daughter until everything is resolved.

My rating: 7,5/10 I liked it. The characters were true to themselves. I especially liked the ML, he was a sweetheart. But the aunt was a bit overprotective and the FL too dependent on her. SECRET IDENTITY, WALLFLOWER Raised by her 2 aunts, the FL is known as a uptight wallflower in her village. But at night, she dresses up and works as a waitress. One night, the ML meets her and falls for her night self.

My rating: 6,3/10 I really hated the ML. It's unrealistic how someone like him can realise his feelings and become a good husband at the end. He's a control freak who forces the FL to do what he wants. Just no! REUNION, CHILD, JERK ML Many years ago, they were in a passionate relationship, but when she told him about her pregnancy, he threw her away. Due to the shock, she had a miscarriage and left. Years later, they meet again. When the ML realises that their child's twin survived, he comes at her again.

My rating: 8,6/10 I really liked it. The FL was refreshingly strong and honest and thought the ML was a bit sexist at the beginning, he got better. Their relationship developing from disdain to love was well executed. SOLDIER, HISTORICAL, STRONG FL After her brother's death on the battlefield, the FL only has his brother's superior's promise to help her if she needs it when her family arrives at her mansion and tries to take everything from her. But when the ML arrives rather late, things have gotten worse, so he and his mother decide to take her in to support her.

My rating: 7,7/10 It promoted this old-fashioned image of femininity, but the story was fun to read. I liked that you also get the ML's pov in more detail. BET, PROPOSAL, GLOW UP, FRIENDS When her male childhood friend says that no man would ever marry her, she makes a bet with him announcing that she will find someone to propose to her in the next months. But as she starts to change, her friend starts to feel drawn to her.

My rating: 8,5/10 I liked it. The FL was strong and confident while the ML was considerate and able to admit his weakness. There should be more couples like them. COWORKERS, MATCHMAKING Bc her father wants her to marry one of the employees of his company, he made a list of suitable candidates. But she doesn't want to marry them, so she plays cupid for them until only one man is left whom she'll go on a business trip with.
