Mi-kun is my fav, he's the best shy emo yandere
2nd place for me is the crossdresser lol
What are y'all's top picks? I'm also curious if yandere boss will ever actually turn out to be a yandere lol
Y'all prior to ch19 i was kinda on the fence about ml because he could be kinda yandere in the cringe kind of way, but at the end of ch19 when she read him like that, I was absolutely shook. Omg, the character development plot hook?! Honest communication?! Their dynamic instantly became 5000 times more interesting for me. I am now absolutely sat.
Pls, don't pretend we are only here to read pure shounen-ai love and romance. :D :D :D
Just saying, hentai/porn BL is also BL.

This is literally one of my top favs now, maybe even in my top 5. I love the humor, it's subtle and offbeat but not too absurd, and I like how it snowballs with running gags. Like the first time a joke hits its just a 'heh' but by the third time it's a 'lol.' The timing for the funny moments are always incredible, I love how it's always a suckerpunch, lol. I also love the family elements, every single member of the imperial family is such a warm and vibrant character. I love the ML's secretary form, it gives him such good chemistry with Mc, and makes for a lot of really funny moments. I think I'm gonna go read the novel version now, I really want to see what happens next.
The second princess probably has charm powers or something that ensnares others hearts, or maybe some form of mind control, hypnotism, brainwashing. Like it seems extremely obvious to me that tarcus's obsession is not natural.
I bet also that either she was the one who put the curse on the older brother that prevents him from returning to the capital or disobeying orders, or her father has the same power.
Unrelated, but i honestly don't get what's the bid deal if tarcus has a childhood love. Like I get our MC is emotionally stunted and naive in some ways about the heart, so it makes sense she'd feel a childish sense of betrayal about it, but like. He never cheated on her, he's not planning on cheating on her in the future, and the so called 'other woman' is a memory he has of a little girl, from when he himself was a child. This drama is so blown out of proportion. I don't mean to be unsympathetic to our mc, i find this conflict to be very in character, i'm just a bit skeptical of the overall message of the story itself. I wish there wasn't such obsession with having virgin male leads who can't even be attracted to other women. It totally misunderstands and distorts the meaning of what actual commitment and fidelity is, which is about choice and integrity, not being literally neutered when it comes to other women or not having experience at all??? Lol im digressing but that's just my two cents.
Side note, I enjoy the depth and complexity of all the characters. Love our mc, especially her contrast to her previous life. The brother was an absolute icon even though he only got two seconds of screentime. I also like the 2nd prince's character. He was born with a kind nature, but got twisted by the world from his exposure to human nature. Honestly, he's very interesting. The king is a complex character, reminds me of the father blacksmith; both of them breaking out of the mold of stereotypical 'good' or 'bad' dads we see in manhwa a lot. The queen is also very cool, like there were a couple moments where she really stood out to me, you can tell she truly loves her son.
I wanted to like this. FL and ML are beautiful, the kid is cute, the liberator rebel group setting is interesting, and I'm a sucker for a good doctor MC. But it feels like the author took all those great setting details and wrote the wrong genre! This is the most contrived, low-IQ, corny ass rofan ever, there is absolutely no grit or angst to speak of but plotholes around every corner, I don't sympathize with any of these people. Everyone acts goofy like they only have love on their brain.
I don't like all the random touching and hugging especially with the special close ups (Personal!! Space!! Y'all don't know each other, omg), I don't like how white-haired guy's eyebrows change every 5 seconds, I don't like that she was recruited at gun point and it was brushed over as no big deal and she holds no resentment for that, I don't like that despite this being a doctor manga we are hardly seeing any doctor stuff at all (the medical science is whack), I don't like the logical errors (ML says he doesn't like ordering people around like attendants, but lives in a fancy palace, and everyone including MC has fancy clothes like nobles. Those things take constant work and maintenance, people!! Maids and laundresses are full time jobs, and yet we don't see any of them?! I feel like I'm watching people completely out of touch with reality). I don't like that there's focus on other guys besides ML, is this a reverse harem or what?
Look, I enjoy rofan, even comedy slice of lifey stuff, but in this case the setting details actually work against the story. It's one thing in other stories to watch a sheltered lady MC act like an airhead and a bunch of handsome ML's strut around like peacocks, but going into this story I was actually expecting?? Some plot from this setting?? Some logic?? Some stakes and consequences?? This disappointment killed me.
But yeah if you turn your brain off before reading this you might enjoy it, the art is good and everyone's pretty.
I don't know why so many pol in the comment are expecting a power journey of becoming the ultimate ho. This is very clearly a corruption story presented as a tragedy, with themes of loss of innocence and critiquing sex culture, showing how the people around MC funneled her to this path because of her lack of life experience. So far it reminds me of a less extreme version of MEmergence (Metamorphosis), with a lot of conventional smut sprinkled in. Honestly the fact that the art and smut are clearly made to be normally sexy kinda detracts from the storyline. Like I'm mostly reading this for the smut, the plot is too dark for me to be in the mood in when I want to read smut, and the smut is too porny for me to be in the mood in when I want to read the plot.
I keep seeing comments complaining the pacing is too fast OR that it's taking forever so they're only gonna come back when more chapters are out. No shade to either camp I just think it's a bit silly that people can't even agree what to criticize about. Makes me think it's just a matter of personal taste, because from my perspective the pacing is absolutely fine. Tight on plot, tight on action, with plenty of comedic relief.
Anyways, FL is so hot and badass, I am super in love with her. I'm actually jealous of the ML that he's got such a bombshell. This story is so hilarious and heartwarming!
"If you look at anyone else I'll kill you" bro that's either the worst or best thing you can say to a yandere holy shit XD
Literally right after I find this the second chapter updates, thank you!!! They are so cute!!
PEAK PEAK THIS IS SO PEAK
I love the art style, it's beautiful and refreshingly unique, and all the characters are so stunning. Also yessss, MC with villainous face but a down to earth professional business woman inside, she is so hot. I also love that the ML isn't a cookie cutter duke of the north, finally we get some GOLDEN CURLS, ughhhh. The MC family is sweet and funny, and the ML nephew and niece are so cuuuute, and they actually have personalities instead of being dumb children! They are so adorably brave. Love love love. I want to eat this story so bad. This is the best manga I've read in a long while, I am so hyped for more.
I bet the fact that our mc told the OG protagonist where the cave was and then he was ambushed by demons will contribute to the og misunderstanding our mc as a demon traitor later. Every time our mc tries to definitely clear his name there's always something that makes it ambiguous, it feels like it's foreshadowing
Damn... Even the furry world has racial discrimination... Araya making our mouse protag change the species of his character from mouse to rabbit reminds me of how a lot of american comic artists got pressure from editors to make the skin of black characters lighter and the hair straighter. Bullshit is bullshit everywhere.
It's always sort of iffy when manga has character isekai into fat characters and make them lose weight, but I'm pretty okay with how this manga handles it. It's made pretty clear that the original character's weight and skin wasn't being blamed on a character flaw, just extenuating circumstances, and though there's a chubby heroine who also loses weight, I like that characters still treated her as cute before she lost weight. She lost weight to fit a noble society beauty standard, but it's clear that wasn't meant to be the universal beauty standard. The skincare advice is accurate to science, which is nice; I get annoyed at other stories where isekai character solves everything with ~magic herbs~ and raw soap (TERRIBLE for skin)
So, yeah, the fact the topic is addressed put me on guard, but this story is pretty ok. It'd be nicer if the chubby heroine could stay chubby, and if she was the only love interest. I really liked her.
