lilithespark's manga / #Romance(2389)

63 this is actually so freaking good?? it tugs on the heart strings. plus the plot is very unique and well-structured. touches on the human psyche.

I liked this! Very lovely romance with school life. I just think there should be more to the story. It would’ve been nice to see Ploy’s boyfriend dealt with AND JAILED for literally kidnapping someone… The author tried to play it off like it was just a silly mistake, but I’m not buying it. They also didn’t address Donut kissing Ice… Even if it happened during a fit of anger, it still should’ve been talked about more imo. Other than that, I appreciated the realism. Ranging from Mew’s non-accepting father to Donut’s open minded mother to Donut’s willingness to stay a couple and not let anything get in their way— everything was portrayed fairly realistically. Ploy was also a pretty nuanced character, not just Mew’s persistent ex. This is just a me problem, but I didn’t like entertaining the idea of Ploy x Ice…. Bleh

THEY’RE TOO CUTE! i needed more… they’re the epitome of the childhood friends pairing. i liked how kiyo was lowkey kind of obsessive (e.g. him putting a gps on hana). they both like each other so much!! i just needed to see more of hana with his long hair haha

This was so cute! I enjoyed reading about their detective shenanigans and them flirting while doing it haha. Their pets are too adorable like the fat cat and the parrot. I liked the extra where we got to see more of their dynamic as lovers. Good, comedic read.

35 this is surprisingly better than what i expected. i like that the mc didn’t lose herself to revenge. sihyeon’s past like reminds you that there are always two sides to a story. i want to root for woobin, but the thing they said about love being about timing kind of proves he’s the second ML. i like seeing sihyeon act and the darkness of showbiz be revealed. plus, the art is really good

36 the misunderstandings r so ughhh. the fl has no autonomy and just does nothing when faced with unfairness i get it but she’s also just bland. so is the ml and the rest of the cast. snooze fest

I LOVE THIS!! they were so cute and funny. absolutely adored the established relationship fluff. i love how they author just took so many romance staples and broke them like… asahi (ML) knew that the girl azusa was with was his sister. his reactions to potential misunderstandings were so refreshing and very much of a green flag. enjoyed the comedy a lot. healthy relationship with good communication. the art was *delicious* one of the best of this genre out there

too friggin short. the fl having second male lead syndrome is so real. they were so sweet; i need a slow burn ver!! i love plots like this. the mc “helps” the ml confess to the one who he supposedly likes, but he actually like him! art was super good as well

this isn’t slow burn… there are barely any embers. still, i like it! it’s pretty classic. it reminds me of some danmei novels i’ve read. i like that the mc is honest about how he’s a different person from the original host and how he’s from another world. you don’t see that often. it makes this alpha x omega pairing more unique. the mc’s dense and almost naive, but it’s not to the point it’s veru frustrating. i like the family vibes, and their kids (hyeol and kkotsu) are too cute!! very comedic, light read.

I need a second volume right neow. I loved this (and the Initial D reference)! It was indeed very refreshing. The setting is different as it is in a driving school. It's very clear that the leads are adults, and I liked how the leads communicated healthily and didn't allow any misunderstandings to persist. The romance felt very natural, and the art was just *chef's kiss*. So beautiful. It did kind of feel underwhelming, though, with nothing much for me to take home really. What was that dumb plot point with the ex coming back... Seemed unnecessary to me. This story didn't need more drama. The author could've expanded on Yaotome (the ML) literally using Chiba (the MC) for his manga... But still a good read.
