manga/manhua/manhwa reads of january 2023
Wonderful Season with you
-Super cute story of two highschoolers with very opposite looks, interests and personalities and falling in love.
-A jock with angst and a nerd basically. It was nice watching them solve problems and being all fluffy and innocent.
-However it was a bit lacking, might have been cuter if it was more drawn out.
-Also the unnecessary sex scene was a disappointing to see at the end, they're minors darling. Let them have their innocent love.
-A decent short read tho.
Papa wolf and puppy
-Absolutely adorable.
-This alpha wolf, leader of the pack grudgingly protects a tiny puppy.
-Forced adoption? Very Aizawa-core.
-Like it's really entertaining to see the top leader, the man amongst the men, the most feared predator, be brought to his knees by...childcare?
-every character in this is so far adorable and good looking.
- One may mistake the puppy's clinginess to possible BL but fear not, it is not a weirdass romance between the two.
-It's just a wolfman unwillingly becoming a father to a puppyboy
Shadows House
-A personal favorite to be honest.
-I love the gothic cute designs that can turn so unsettling when done right.
-What I expected to be a slice of life quickly turned into a mystery with a dark secret and I am absolutely eating that shit up.
-All the characters are so so interesting.
-I love how well made it is and how well they bring up the beauty of individuality between the shadows and the dolls.
-A very very well written story.
-Everyone who sees this post must read this one, it is an experience everyone needs to have.
-Also has an anime.
Phantom tales of the night
-A bit confusing but the artstyle is beautiful and everyone's stories are interesting so I'm very on board.
-Another story where all the characters are interesting and has a lot of twists and turns.
-Like really, everyone is connected with everyone.
-And there is something really satisfying when it clicks to you what's going on.
-The main character is the main antagonist of the story.
-owner of a guesthouse where the payment is a secret of the guest.
-The concept and story is really intriguing.
-perfect for people who enjoy genres which are not exactly horror and not exactly mystery.
Secret love
-One of the cutest romances I have read EVER.
-Two shy highschoolers who are totally pining for each other but are from different friend groups.
-They are so CUTE.
-Like the plot is them slowly forming a friendship and having the courage to talk to each other more.
-Not that problematic (mildly but it gets solved quickly).
- Perfect casual read once you have read dozens of angst.
-The artstyle is very pretty too. In a comforting way.
Play it cool, guys
-manga about a bunch of clumsy guys trying to play it off.
-very interesting characters and personalities.
-Also a very not dramatic, calm story.
-All the characters are of different age ranges and they all meet in very amusing and coincidental ways.
-I really like how they show the characters' inner turmoil and how they find a solution.
-But none of their issues are because of how clumsy they are. Clumsiness isn't an issue guys.
A story with good life advice brought in a comedic, slice of life way.
-I think it has an anime too??
I'll do that marriage
-I haven't read very far with this one yet, but so far it is very entertaining.
-A young girl gets transported to a story where her sister dies bc she is forced to marry a tyrant duke who has insomnia.
-To save her now sister, she goes to the duke in her stead and solves his insomnia.
-They decide to get married, but only for an year per the girl's request (bc the actual female protagonist appears in an year).
-Cue the duke trying to make her fall for him with the help of his staff and citizens.
-Everyone's just happy the duke is being nicer and they are all DESPERATE for him to stay like that.
-It's very entertaining.
The way to protect the female lead's older brother
-Another story I started towards the end of January and haven't read that far.
-A girl is reincarnated to a story too, but the family she was born into is known for being messed up and crazy harsh on their children.
-Like, the children are only born to be brought up as murderers.
-The actual female protagonist goes through a lot bc of the family but it all starts when they kidnap her older brother.
-So the girl is trying to protect and help the brother escape while making sure none of her family members suspect her at all.
-All the members of her family from what I've seen are...messed up.
-She's also a little bit psychotic, but to survive that family you have to be a little insane ig.
-At least she has some common sense and morals...so far.
-The artstyle is beautiful.
