July's manga / #Drama(215)

Very trashy omegaverse BL, with lots of unrealistic smut scenes. The male lead has a ridiculously feminine body with humongous bubble butt that annoys me every time I see it, and some of the sex positions are literally impossible. It hurts my eyes and my brain to look at it. Is he a contortionist? All the characters are not likeable nor well-written, and the male lead and his male love interest fall in love way too fast, with almost no conflict. Avoid.

I love the fashion aspect of the manga, I've learned a lot about this industry from reading it. However, it's not very well suited for shounen manga. It falls into the repetitive trap of the male lead trying to beat people with his designs over and over, and it becomes somewhat stale. He's a pretty boring protagonist, in my opinion. I'd rather have Chiyuki as the protagonist instead, her life seems far more interesting to me. She's also a very strong willed heroine, who doesn't need the male lead to save her all the time, which was refreshing to see.

Art is absolutely wonderful, the plot is still muddled, but vastly improved over its prequel. Hopefully, it doesn't go wildly off the rails this time. There's a romance between the female lead and the beast male character, but it's not really being developed and there are odd conflicts thrown their way that get resolved in the strangest manner possible sometimes.

Revenge villain isekai with a male lead. He's a true villain, and he kills lots of people in very dark, twisted ways. Although he previously died a horrible and tragic death, the violence of his new life is not really helping me sympathize with him. It's still a decent read, but not one of my favorites.

Haha, I was laughing so hard when it turned out her original male love interest was in love with her male cousin. That's refreshing compared to other isekai I've read. However, the story goes stale quickly after she allies herself with the new male lead. She's too powerful and her new male love interest is showering her with gifts to show how much he loves her. I'm sorry, but that's not romantic at all. I'm bored by the developments in the recent chapters. Yawn. Art is decent, but not the best.

It was great at the beginning, I liked Pauliana as the badass female lead. But later on, it skips a lot of the war to jump straight to romance, which sucks. There's not much focus on Pauliana herself, and more on the emperor's infatuation with her, which I find to be too rushed to be realistic. Pauliana is oblivious and stupid outside of fighting. I feel very let down by this webtoon. Art is ok, but Pauliana is not pretty at all. The emperor's forehead is way too wide, and I can't stop staring at it. It was even more obvious in the April Fool's chapter where he was bald, and I cannot unsee it. I'm pretty disappointed in this webtoon, it had a lot of potential to be great.

The beginning of this manga was really good, and the female lead was both likeable and relatable. As the series went on, she just became kind of stupid and intolerable. It went seriously downhill after the arc where she had to be Ren's fake sister who had a bro-con complex with him. That was so dumb and not salvageable at that point. At least Ren finally admitted his feelings for her. Honestly, I like her interaction with Shou more than with Ren. It's more natural and organic, while with Ren it's uncomfortable and forced. I enjoyed the sections where she prepared for acting jobs but the author has stopped showing those bits of her life, what a letdown...

Art is quite nice, the female lead is very distinctive. I enjoyed the first couple of chapters but she caught the interest of the male lead too quickly in my opinion, and the story is getting boring already unfortunately. There's no real conflict yet and I feel this interesting female lead's potential was wasted.

One of the best manga I've read, the anime is also great. It's going dark very steadily, as I've always suspected it will. Honestly, I think this manga will have a tragic ending. Hiyori is slowly taking a backseat in the story, and it's focusing more on Yato & Yukine & Father. I hope Hiyori will be able to take the spotlight again soon, since her interaction with the other main characters is what makes this story work so well in the past.

The humor is great, I love how a florist in a MMORPG can be the most OP class in the game. Art is so-so, the main character is a little ugly (since that's how he's intended to be), but all the other characters also are not beautifully drawn either, otherwise I would give this a higher rating. Worth reading!
