Yane's manga / #Romance(730)

My rating: 8,5/10 I absolutely adore the FL with her positive attitude. She really never gives up, is naturally friendly and confident. The way she tries to charm the tsundere ML really got me invested, this never gets boring. But it doesn't feel complete, more like the end of a season. OFFICE ROMANCE, PLANTS Everything has been going downhill for Hana lately: her fiancee cheats on her, her plants die and then she gets molested on the train. Unexpectedly, a handsome man stands up for her. When they meet again during a marriage meeting, she starts to really want to date him. But although he helped her that time, he turns out to be rather cold and rejects her in a rude way?! She's gonna give up like that!

My rating: 10/10 This is a masterpiece of both fiction and art. It's quite dark dealing with the loss of a loved one, suicidal thoughts, unloving parents and most importantly the feeling of guilt. I quite like the narrative and the characters are complex and really interesting. It gave me the shivers. DEATH, DRAMA, GUILT Natsumi just lost her younger sister, Haru to chemotherapy. She can't bear the loss of the only person who loved her and falls into darkness. But Tougo, who got engaged to Haru bc of their parents, feels even more drawn to Natsumi now and they start a relationship full of guilt, one that might heal them?

My rating: 7,5/10 It's cute. I really like the FL, she's intelligent, has a great pokerface and still crushes on him hard. They complement each other with him being such a nice guy and a pushover. The ending's a bit rushed, there could've been be more drama, but it's alright. OFFICE ROMANCE, BET An office lady is known as the "Ice Iron Lady" in her company because of her cool and practical way of doing her job. One day, she overhears the seniors pressuring the guy she has a crush on to bet on whether he can get with her. So, she decides to use this to make some good memories with him until she resigns in 2 months.

My rating: 4/10 The art is nice but the story is just a bit ... tasteless. The ML's a puppy type yandere. His logic is just like: "I never confessed but now I'm gonna get her pregnant so no one else can have her". And she just falls for his di**. It's very simple and unrealistic. SHRINE, MARRIAGE A shrine owner's daughter searches for a marriage partner. She tells the guy who visits her shrine everyday about it, but he isn't amused and soon after that reveals his true feelings.

My rating: 4/10 The FL is a bit too much of a drama queen for me but the ML's a nice guy who treats her well. Her taking care of the kids is cute, however the side characters are very simple and it's all a bit rushed. HOUSEKEEPER, REUNION After breaking up with her boyfriend, Hope's father asks her to work as a live-in housekeeper for one of his employees so the man can work full-time. But the man turns out to be the boy that embarrassed her in high school. How will she get along with him and his nephew and niece?

My rating: 7/10 It's interesting but I wish it wasn't so short. I want to know more about their backstory, the organisation of the mafia and all that. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. I like the protagonists, they're both strong and somewhat opposites at the same time. It's open-ended but with a positive perspective on their future. MAFIA, MILITARY, REUNION Ivan, a spy of the Russian army, must investigate the right arm of a mafia boss. But his target is a very close friend he made in the military academy who he hasn't seen in ten years, Edward. Ivan can't help but wonder what made him become like that.

My rating: 7/10 This is for you if you like possessive older men. He has 2 sides: a forceful and dominant one and a goofy and sweet one. The FL has an actual personality, I love her. And the character development is great. BAR, OFFICE WORKER, POSSESSIVE ML Rika often goes to a bar to drink hoping to see the "man with the wristwatch" again who once comforted her when she was drunk. But instead, a goofy older man always teases her. One day, she gets so drunk that she falls asleep and he takes her home ...

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: 2/10 Reading this felt like watching a bad low-budget film. It's just so cliché and predictable with one-dimensional characters and absolutely no suspense. The smut isn't good either. It's a bit cute but that's it. CAFE, INFLUENCER One day, the owner of a café (FL) spots an handsome man in her shop. Later, she finds out that this man is a famous influencer who posted about her café. When she meets him again and tells him about her fear of men he promises to help her overcome it.

My rating: 7/10 It's a cute collection of oneshots. I really enjoyed reading it, it's not too deep, more like ordinary little loves stories, but it's adorable and the art is pretty. There's a bit of smut. ONESHOTS, CUTE 1) hostess who wants to open her nail salon x rich young man 2) supermarket employee x new determined employee 3) Female president of a start up x older subordinate 4) Medical clerk x potter (reunion)
