Yane's manga / #Romance(730)

My rating: 7/10 It's a pretty cute story which focuses on the emotional part instead of the action. I love how devoted and loving the seme is. The uke may be insecure and weak but it fits his character and is part of the conflict. The ending's rushed. SCHOOL LIFE, CUTE When Eunjae, a boy who's always been sickly, transfers schools, he not only encounters new friends but also Jin-Hyeon, a popular boy he's met in the hospital many years ago ...

My rating: 8/10 I love the characters. They feel "human" with all their little flaws and ways of thinking. The pacing is perfect, they slowly fall in love without expecting it. It's a beautiful story. SCHOOL ROMANCE, CUTE Seryou Touji is a popular first-year who goes out with everyone who confesses to him on a Monday for 7 days. One day, Shino Yuzuru jokingly asks him out just to see how he reacts. But Seryou takes him seriously.

My rating: 7/10 It's kinda like an enemies to lovers but a bit more complicated. The pacing is good, their shared past gets slowly revealed which keeps up the suspense. I love seeing them grow closer with the kid. REUNION, CHILD, ROOMMATES After Ririko's death, her daughter gets to know two of her mother's exes: her possible dads. According to the will the three of them will have to spend 3 moths together until the child can decide who'll be her dad. But that isn't easy, especially since her dads share a difficult past.

My rating: 5/10 It actually has potential. I like how strong-minded the FL is. She's outsmarting her opponents the whole time. Of course it's corny too, but that's to be expected. HERITAGE, MISTRESS, CHILD After her little brother's rich father dies, his wife's daughter and the son of their lawyer come to the FL to take away her little brother's heritage. They look down on her confusing her for the mistress the her brother's father had him with, but she won't let them win that easily.

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: 3/10 It's very simple, feels like a copy-pasted version of a reincarnation story with all the clichés. Though it's kinda cute, it's too childish and nonsensicalish for me and the FL's just stupid. Maybe it's for a younger audience. The ending's rushed. REINCARNATION, STEP SIBLINGS Licca has grown up in the lap of luxury in an ambiguously-European, sort-of-1800s-ish country, when all of a sudden her family adopt a young runaway… but when Licca tries to befriend the boy, a mysterious screen appears in front of her, telling her all she needs to know to talk to him.

My rating: 2/10 This is so sexist and the ML is terrible. He's patronising, selfish and just caught up in his own head. Still, the soft and loving FL can't help but give in to him. Nah .... SECRET CHILD, REENCOUNTER Four years ago, Samantha fell in love with the wealthy CEO of a luxury car company. She ended up pregnant, but Rafaele saw her as nothing more than a fling and ended their relationship before she could tell him. When they meet again at a party and he takes her home, he meets the son he didn't know he had.

My rating: 5/10 I like the suspense, the pairing of a romance story and a crime story. But the FL disappoints me. She started off so strong only to turn out to be a weak woman in need of a man to save her. MURDER, ARRANGED MARRIAGE One day after work, the FL witnesses a suspicious man fleeing from a crime scene. To her horror, said man later turns out to be her arranged marriage partner. But she decides to use this opportunity and find out if he's really the killer.

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.
