This, I agree this. Also, I really want this manga to have an anime adaption . Also, I recommend Charminh Junkie. I'mma just tell you the beginning. Might hook you to this manga or smth:
MC confessed to her crush but the boy said that she has a creepy smile and even compared her to a hot topic/trending model nowadays in their country. So MC tried modeling and then fast forward, she found out the secret of the very same model: THE MODEL IS A GUY!!!! Then, fast forward, she became a sort-of temporary model and got paired with him (but still pretends to be a female or he'll lose his popularity because of such a scandal). Also, this model is the male lead, hehehehhehehehehehehehe.
Now that the comments are back I came back to say BRING BACK PLOT HEAVY SCHOOL LIFE SHOUJO!! I feel like all the popular shoujo manga out now is pure fluff with barely any plot or care for the characters outside of the main romance. What I love about this one is that it emphasizes how important the friendship was between the four and the world building was really good. I loved the romance, but I think I loved the dynamics between the main four the most.
If I were to compare this to a manga it would be gakuen alice, except less intense and more romance. The plots aren’t entirely similar, but they both put a lot of work into the world building (and have brooding male leads). If you liked this, you’ll probably like gakuen alice as well.
I don’t think I’ve read a manga that has matched up to this one since I’ve read it. Seriously if you have more manga recs similar to this please recommend me some
