hana's manga / #Strong Female Lead(23)

Wedding Season 2

Complete | lin yu chin | 2000 released

I really enjoyed this! Story of married couple slowly gaining trust for each other, going through family problems and facing the obstacles. The characters were all great! Great series to re-read!

Ultimate Venus

Complete | shigematsu takako | 2007 released

I really enjoyed this manga. It was simple and predictable, sure, but it was cute in its own way. I do regret the fact that the relationship between Yuzu and her father was not furthered in more detail, but they did have a good relationship before knowing that he was Yuzu's father. If I were in Kagami's shoes, or even Yuzu's shoes, I don't know how to handle the relationship due to Yuzu's father's death. It is indirectly Kagami's fault, but is that enough to not warrant a relationship between the two? That is hard. In any case, I enjoyed it, though I do think that the harem thing can get pretty annoying at times, though at least they managed to be friends as compared to some other manga. My other gripe is that the possibility of Yuzu carrying out the impossible task of having all the large corporations getting on her side is unfathomable, and happened too quickly and suddenly. This part of the manga should be in further detail. However, I still enjoyed it for its simpleness.

Grand Sun

Complete | Emura (Story & Art) | 2007 released

I really enjoyed the fact that both Asahi and Sakuya were both head strong. I thought it was refreshing that they both chased after what they wanted, were upfront and honest about it. When I read the part that they may be related, my stomach turned sour. Thank goodness that wasn't the case. The ending was somewhat sad. Although I didn't like the President, I wouldn't cause him to potentially lose his company and go through all of that. That seems too cruel, even if the "parents" were heartless. They did raise Sakura up so to speak, so the least that Sakura could have done was spare some sympathy.

Oiran Girl

Complete | HIBIKI Wataru | 2010 released

It was a bit sad due to the life of a courtesan, but the comedy and love between Shin and Tsubaki, as well as the other characters made it quite entertaining. I'm glad they were able to survive through the many obstacles and in the end have a child. I can't believe for a moment I though Gin-sama was a bad guy. Thank goodness, as I really like him a lot! It was a really sweet story.

Crazy Girl Shin Bia

Complete | Hwang mi ri | 2008 released

It was such a great, comedic, romantic, and engrossing story. Falling into another world and swapping lives. It is a little cliche that everyone loves Bia (like a harem), but I loved that she was strong willed and wasn't such a weakling. I felt really bad for Prince Mu Yeung because he honestly wanted to restore his lost country and for his people, and I completely understand it. He was also blinded by love, but I felt so much pity for him, and in the end he lost everything. I really hoped that he didn't die, but if he didn't then his persistence and relentless desire to rebuild his country and obtain his love would be endless. It was a great story and I loved it!!!

Saesang Bring It On! Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2008 released

I suppose you can say that it's a typical shojo manga/manwa but there is some differences. Such that the female lead is a lot more stronger, and doe go through a lot of hardships (in addition to being broke poor). I thought the ending was quite rushed, and that was what disappointed me, despite the happy ending. The story should have elaborated more on Minwa's hearing impairment; perhaps a twist or a few years into the future where they meet up after he gets healed or something. However, I did enjoy it nonetheless.

A Tackle On My Life Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2008 released

I initially enjoyed it quite a deal, however towards the later chapters I was a bit disappointed. The story progressed to fast and felt rushed, unlike the beginning chapters which on the contrary was a bit slow. I enjoyed Mia's personality initially, but similarly I felt it changed much too fast; it was not a smooth transition. The other characters, such as Joon Young could have been told in more detail, but it was again cut too short. I enjoyed his story, which led to my disappointment for such a curt ending. For this reason, I had to go with 4 rather than 5 stars.

He's Dedicated To Roses

Complete | Hwang Mi Ri | 2007 released

I quite enjoyed the story. For the most part, even from the beginning until the end Ida was a strong girl that didn't act like a weakling. I really appreciated that fact since in a lot of stories the girl's initially act strong but later succumb to the typical cliche of a crybaby that requires her man to be her savior - not that Naru didn't come and save her - but it was a different feel. I would recommend this for sure.

Sp X Baby

Complete | enjouji maki | 2014 released

I thought it was adorable. Tora, despite his background, tries to be happy and optimistic. Tama who came from an unfortunate background was made his bodyguard. And despite her "bad luck", they wind up together. Cute, funny and enjoyable!

Reimei No Arcana

Complete | toma rei | 2009 released

Wow! I absolutely loved this fantasy manga. The ending was indeed unexpected. The love that Loki felt for Nakaba, I wonder what kind of love was it? It was certainly tear-jerking towards the final chapter(s) for me. Love is truly hard to describe; happiness, pain, resentment, sadness, laughter, despair. A bag of mixed emotions, like an endless roller coaster ride where you could only hope it would continuously rise, but only to know that it will inevitably have to go down. One of my favorite. I regret putting this on my to read list and not reading it from the get go. Highly recommend, and a re-read!
