lilithespark's manga / #Romance(2387)

the title is misleading… i thought this would be about a gay forcibly trying to convert his crush, but it’s surprisingly wholesome and good. i like the comedy 36

This is just like a melodrama. Miscommunication galore. There’s a lot of sex mixed with guilt. I liked the aspect where the dark haired MC is like the heir to a shrine. I found that part very beautiful. It’s basically rape, and the plot is just pretty weird… I really liked the extra at the end of volume two with them being kind of awkward at the start of their relationship (after being friends for so long). I would’ve liked to see more of that fluff instead of the overly drawn out, bland drama

This starts off with blackmail, but it becomes cute near the end. Also, sexual assault? Like you don’t just kiss someone randomly and get off easily. I don’t know if it was the fast pacing, but I didn’t really enjoy this the way other people did. Mid.

84 So freaking good. A dark skinned ML??! HE'S SO SCRUMPTIOUS LIKEEE ugh. i love how this shows platonic relationships as well. it's refreshing how dominick isn't a love interest, but rather, part of the MC's family. Everything about this is pretty uplifting. I like seeing the MC help children, comfort them, be there got them, and stuff. The revenge aspect is also pretty satisfying (tho the villains aren't out of the ordinary).

this is insanely well written. the conflict between the north and the south feels realistic. the character development of the MC is also quite tangible. she goes from a pampered noble lady to a girl who does not care about status. her personal growth too and the themes of letting go of regret. just love that. but the ML… phew THAT PLOT TWIST WAS SO GOOD?! no spoilers but it’s been such a long time since a story has managed to rivet me like this. the characters are all nuanced, even the mc’s killer and ex-lover. art is good. really good story 45

This story is so good! At first I didn’t know where they were going with the MC (Shiori)’s trauma, but the author actually portrayed it quite well— the abuse and also her journey of healing from it. It’s scarily accurate at depicting the corruption that often happens behind closed door and to foreign women. It’s a good blend of fantasy and reality. The MC’s “housekeeping” magic is quite novel in adventurer settings like these imo. One of the things I really love in isekai is when the protagonist longs for the homeland because I think anyone would in that scenario. I love the romance between Shiori and Alec (ML). It just really screams supportive, and I love all the other side characters of well, all of which have depth and truly care for the MC. Such a great read! I only regret not finding this sooner.

33.2 Absolutely love this! The romance is slow, but the execution is so good! I absolutely love their mutual pining and first love vibes. It’s really interesting how the MC is a magic artisan, but I like how she doesn’t make things perfectly the first time. She works with other to improve her creations, but at the same time her modern mindset does make her kind of OP? Anyway, the writing is so realistic. Her ex is a jerk, but his mindset towards women reflects common sentiment held by men.

50 So cute! I like the slow romance. The title is weird, but give this a chance!

This is actually a pretty nice read. The two leads are perfect for each other. They’re both “intense” regarding relationships. They’re also kind of twisted? Like others have said, the MC goes after taken men and the ML gives stalkerish vibes. They’re pretty cute at the end though, and I loveeee the art. Classic miscommunication plot but cute

The ML is kinda twisted… And sus. But the MC is also freaky. Together they’re cute? I like the art, and the smut is pretty hot. Pretty decent read for the short story it is.
