I Didn't Expect a Scandal Like This
omg this was rly good. i am so pleasantly surprised! i could not have predicted what happened wfter the first chapter. i loved how domestic and honest they were with each other. their dynamic was top tier. the mc was like a breath of fresh air tbh. such a funny read. they were so silly and lovable. i enjoyed this immensely. plus, the art was *chef’s kiss*
Tokyo in April
It has this mature, almost depressing vibe at the start, but it lightens up near the end. Honestly a great read despite its dramatic clichés. The author has a splendid way of demonstrating changes in character and emotion through their art. Poetically and beautifully, the story is just such a journey. The characters are multifaceted and change over the course of said story, and it just makes for an incredibly immersive manga. Ngl I teared up when he said “You’re my Tokyo in April” LIKE WHAT what an absolute banger of a line. will re-read for sure one day
40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto
5 i loveee the pacing! the themes and art are so beautiful
The story of a lonely female president who instantly falls for a female lesbian worker
It’s such a cute story I love them sm…. And Noa-san ofc. But why is it so short??? I need to see them in a relationship *sobs*
Boku no Barber e Yokoso
the pacing was atrocious. but this was cute! i feel like it needed another chapter to really develop their relationship. to me, the whole getting-together part felt very rushed. had potential but poor execution
Romance, But Not Romantic
they’re such a sweet couple with healthy communication (after the initial misunderstanding ofc). this should be the blueprint for alpha x omega pairings! the ml is such a green flag. i usually don’t like them bc they’re often the same plot copy and pasted, but this manhwa is so, so refreshing. i appreciate how sex scenes aren’t the focus of this manhwa despite still being present. the leads have such great chemistry, and they’re BOTH capable at their jobs. to top it all off, the art is so pretty (i love how they draw seo jinha) *sobs* it’s not deeply breaking apart the omegaverse, but it is most definitely a breath of fresh air. the ending is super sweet as well!
The Man on the Other Side
This was an interesting, introspective read! The MC is such an over thinker and self-deprecating guy that the whole story feels awkward because it is told from his perspective. In that sense, this was definitely more relatable than I’d like to admit. It’s a semi-unique twist on another wise typical romance trope where the MC is just a “normal” guy, and the love interest is this celebrity. Anxiety-filled yet cute read at the end.
Yasaotoko to Sadistic
Eh, this was alright. The ending was lackluster, but maybe that was the overall vibe the author was going for. Things vaguely get resolved, but it’s nothing satisfying. The ML, glasses guy, one who was bullied, accepts the MC’s feelings. Their dynamic is definitely an interesting one. The stalker MC just keeps jutting into the ML’s life until it’s natural. Weird but surprisingly not toxic.
