aoko's manga / #contract(25)

look, it’s good okay? it’s basically just smut disguised as a plot but.. cmon 10/10

one of the cute contract marriages

protect that child at all costs; cps wasn’t a thing here? the gradual romance between the ml and mc have me gripping my sheets

contract marriage modern ver. childhood friends! it’s literally so cute, they’re couple goals and the childhood sweethearts trope is done so well ITALY?!!?! OH MY—

how she didn’t fall in love when she looked at him is beyond me, contract marriage but he actually loves her; met as kids but don’t remember cliché

she thought he had the small small but he had the big big; they’re funny together but unnecessary royalty drama

my expectations are very high, let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint; the opening scene is already very interesting hehe there will definitely be some discourse over the age gap, but please remember that they’re consenting adults!!! and very happy to meet one of my favs: the contract marriage

it starts off so well! the premise is interesting but the translation is HORRENDOUS; thank the translation team for doing this story justice because oh my gosh? finally a good non-bl in who knows how long. now did they really start liking one another after killing people together.. byeee

aghhhh this has so many of my favorite tropes, albeit a bit predictable; when he’s obsessed with her>>> waiting for her to realize she’s in love hehe please give this an adaptation HE SWUNG

this is a very long slow burn, and it could actually be better if it weren’t for the translations; honestly think that the plot is pretty kdrama basics from the romance to the conflict but what makes it different is that it’s lowkey a tragedy, caught myself feeling for the characters sm ngl
