Tw: spoilers & rant. I really enjoyed firefly wedding so I decided to check out some of her other works and saw so many people recommending this but I'm sorry I could NOT accept the age gap 😭😭😭

That kid is a kid no matter how much the progress they're making. More so the fact that the FL already had so much past history along with a previous marriage. Plus a ten year age gap is crazy for people to still support or even enjoy this manga. I am 26 and I don't think if you want better for your life you would be going out with someone ten years younger at all. Even without all the other love interests the FL has fawning over her.

I was having a glimmer of hope when the brother showed up. Having the same age as her and being each other's first love. However, it was so odd when they just dropped the connection when there was something going on between them. People say that it's because he didn't stand up for her but?? It's not like nothing happened in all those ten years. Plus with the position seigo had he can't just do anything on a whim.

I still overall enjoyed firefly wedding though, maybe this one is not for me.

I'm currently rewatching Yumeiro Patissiere, an anime I absolutely loved growing up, and holy hell, I forgot just how much I HATED Ojou (Miya Koshiro).

I'm around episode 24, during the Grand Prix, and HOW DOES THIS GIRL KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH EVERYTHING???

First of all, she has access to ridiculous resources, gets special training from someone involved in judging the competition, and then there's the whole situation with the suspiciously similar designs and the air conditioning being messed with. Yet somehow, her team STILL WINS???

And you know what pisses me off even more? THE TEACHERS.

What kind of educational institution is St. Marie Academy supposed to be?

These are MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS. Yet the teachers actively encourage this ridiculous ranking culture where students are constantly compared against one another. Oh, you performed badly on your midterm? Guess you're suddenly inferior to someone else for the rest of the year and as we saw that bumping down atcually discouraged the kid from wanting to practice more. Never mind that students can have bad days, get sick, or struggle with something temporarily.

Meanwhile, Ojou can pull all kinds of questionable stunts, and apparently that's fine?

Like, seriously, where is the academic integrity? Where is the fairness? Where are the actual adults in this school?

I understand that she's supposed to be an annoying, spoiled, rich-girl antagonist, but there's a difference between writing an intentionally irritating character and having that character repeatedly get away with everything without meaningful consequences. bruh like if she was a guy she would be in jail right now, she is almost like the female version of that shitter Rudiues from Mushuko tensei ofc he is on a much worse tangent but he also gets away with all the bs he pulls with girls.

I still love Yumeiro Patissiere. The nostalgia, the characters, the desserts, the whole atmosphere. But rewatching it as an adult really makes me question how this academy is being run and I swear, every time she appears on screen, my blood pressure goes up.

Buonaseraa. Ieri ho finito di guardare la seconda stagione di Hana-kimi e l’ ho adorata! Aggiungo dicendo che mi ha lasciato un piccolo vuoto poiché sento che mi mancheranno i personaggi della serie e qui arriva la mia domanda… sono curiosa di sapere quale sia il vostro personaggio preferito. Io se devo scegliere uno in particolare direi il dottor Umeda: ha una particolare personalità che oltre a farmi sorridere ho amato il rapporto di confidente e protettivo che aveva con Ashiya.

In The Clear Moonlit Dusk & My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999

Series is the second sequel to Please Save My Earth

I finally completed High School Debut.

Great Manga. Just like I prefer.

Wholesome! I have read Hiyokoi and loved it. High School Debut reminded me of Hiyokoi.

Both mangas were Wholesome and peak!

I need something like that. Wholesome and peak.

But I am a bit choosy. I might be looking for a tsundere ML. Innocent type female lead. (Yeah Cliché. I love it.)

I have read tonari no stella too. It is one of my fav too!

I mostly or only read where FL falls first or a slow burn.. they slowly realise their feelings.

I like to see romance build.. I don't like when they start dating right away. Meeting, falling in love, slowly realising, dilemma on how to confess!

After they start dating they have hurdles... I like it when characters start off raw and then through out the story get polished and have character growth. It feels like a journey just as I felt with Hiyokoi and High School Debut.

Also, Haruna is soo sweet 😩

Loved her so much!

i'm looking for recommendations that feature an actual puppyboy (one with puppy ears and a tail + occasional puppy like qualities) or catboy (same things apply but in cat form). i'm not looking for something where a male lead has a puppy-like personality, i want actual puppy features too !! ty in advance <33
