One Husband Is Enough by Go Seon-Yeong

 21/04/26

 The plot:

The romance manhwa One Husband Is Enough features Go Seon-Yeong, an office worker who desires love after escaping her abusive home life. In the process of being free, she buys a virtual reality headset and enters a romance game. Relating to one of the optional female leads, Crocetta, she chooses her and raises the charm stats to max. What she didn't know was that her choice would bind her to the game, preventing her escape. Tortured by the people who fall victim to her charm. However, will Crocetta survive? Will she have to raise the male lead's love?

Opinions and Discovery:

Hello everyone, school just started again, and I'm waiting for my legal studies report draft. Wish me luck!!! So today I wanted to review a manhwa that is still very fresh in my head and honestly tortured me. I felt like I was going to become bald, not in a bad way, either. So, anyway, I discovered this manhwa when I was on the yandere male lead Reddit, and I stumbled upon this work. It was a picture of the female lead with this guy, who seemed like a black flag, and I thought that was very interesting. It is currently still ongoing, but I have read it up to chapter 91 and can't wait to read more. It's like a drama, where you just feel so frustrated all the time, but want to see the ending and want to read more. Currently, there are like 4 guys the female lead could fall in love with, and there is literally only one I like. I think the others are better off as friends, or even better, not knowing at all. Anyways I think this manhwa does really well as a horror rather than a romance, so I will put this down as horror. Imagine having the ability to make people love you or even be obsessed with you in that manner; it would be terrifying. Like, I guess it benefits you getting the one you love, but it creates even more problems when avoiding people. 

I guess if I were in that situation, I would lose my mind mentally and physically and disappear into the ocean if I could. So if you like a manhwa that is frustrating but leaves you hanging off your seat, be my guest! Especially when she picks the wrong male leads to be with, to not ruin her one and only(⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠). Also, my friends said their names are funny, lol.

Characters and design:

Crocetta, the female lead, was originally supposed to be the neglected illegitimate daughter. Unfortunately, this ceased to be after maxing the charm stats in the game. Crocetta is a women that yearns for love, something that she hadn't had much of in reality, which is quite sad. At first, she is seen as a very analytical and a fairly good actor when it comes to wanting to get her way, and manages to find the most suitable husband. She has long, wavy blonde hair and piercing magenta eyes, which is kind of cool for a female lead. I believe that she looks good in a villainess role, too. At first, Crocetta acts fairly innocent and looks like she cares about the people around her. Progressing from the beginning, though, she has been torn and is losing her mental state. She is not a female lead who is like the innocent and lovely kind; she is the type to disregard other people and treat others as objects instead of beings. However, I do understand this, as when people look at her, they all have the same feelings, 'love'. Love used to be Crocetta's goal, but after experiencing torture from it, love is like a curse. With Crocetta, I think she looks good in light blue dresses, but generally, I think she looks good in any dress. I honestly feel like she should have ordered a mask seller to make a specific mask for her, though...

Apart from Crocetta, she also has three raging fiends... Apart from one. The Playboy Crown Prince, the Misanthrope Duke, and the devout holy Knight. The Playboy Crown Prince, AKA Etienne Eugene Lortinique, loves spending time with different women, but that was before he met Crocetta. Meeting her took a very grave turn for him. At first, he wanted to either kill her or use her as a weapon, but beneath that was an obsessive fool who wanted to have her for himself, and boy, does he try to achieve it. Etienne has short blonde hair and blue eyes, like any male lead in historical manhwa (I don't want him to be the male lead...) He is handsome and very seductive. I wouldn't say he's that handsome, regarding my taste, but he is quite the gem. His relationship with the other love interest is quite expected, being the noble crown prince, the others have to respect him. He is a calculating, cunning individual, and I can't wait for the female lead to beat his ass. 

The Misanthrope Duke, Arnold Wassenburg. A man who is calculating and would rather have a modest life than the crown prince. He is very quiet and tends to enjoy nature, rather than indulging himself in lust or love. Meeting Crocetta's eyes, however, his feelings became troubled, and he ended up falling in love with the female lead, like the others. He's got black hair, tan skin, red eyes, and a very muscular build. He isn't really my type, but I can see why some people find him attractive. In my opinion, I think he's kind of boring; the only characteristic I like is that he wants Crocetta to smile. In my opinion, I don't think I like him very much. 

The devout holy knight, Roger Darklet. This is my favourite. Roger is a holy knight, someone who can't indulge in romantic or sexual interaction. He is truly a knight; many people love him, and he helps the main character in all sorts of situations. To me, he is the best choice out of the three. Appearance-wise, he is also not that bad-looking; he's got white hair and yellow eyes. (Reminds me of Ijekiel from, who made me a princess) And he is muscular!! Being a love interest, he is also impacted by Crocetta's charm. However, at first, he did not quite seem to understand what he was feeling, but as time passed by, he soon felt like the others. His love, though, was that of a yearner and someone who is not as obsessed with keeping her. He does have his dark times, though, however, not as bad as the other two.

What does it do well on?

I believe this manhwa does really well at maintaining the female lead's goals and showing her mental stability throughout the time that she has spent in the game. It really shows how she is slowly descending into madness, not like your typical romance, which is like a plane steadily flying. I wouldn't really say I would read it for the romance aspect, but I really did enjoy it for the certain elements that would make me uncomfortable and frustrated. I really want this to be completed because I want to see if she ends up having a happy ending with one of the love interests, or she decides to live alone and isolated from anyone. If I were to prefer an ending, it would be her exiting that life and living in a life of solitude. It's not a happy ending, but it's an ending that would settle the heart mostly. Crocetta, half of the time, makes me super frustrated, but I can see why she makes those decisions. Can I say I just love how she has explicitly explained and knows that the male leads aren't in love with her for pure love? It really shows that she is not ditsy. This is probably rare for me to want the female lead to end up with no one, but in these circumstances, I think it would be way nicer. I also like the dynamics of the male leads and how each of them expresses love and obsession; this goes with supporting characters, too, such as someone's mother who expresses maternal love instead of romantic love. I do believe the female lead needs a weapon, though, because ain't no way I'm going to be facing people that could potentially pounce on me and not stab them. Like, logically, that would make sense. Overall, this manhwa does frustrate me, but it does really well on the horror aspect rather than romance.

Spoiler Section (Read at your own risk):

Hi to people who may have read the manhwa! Honestly, I really hate Arnold. He may have said he wanted to protect Crocetta and kill whoever is hurting her, BUT TO HURT ROGER IS A DIFFERENT STORY. Like, okay, we can excuse Arnold for just thinking that Roger was hurting her, but Crocetta explains to him after this how much Roger is to her. YET BRO STILL GETS THE CROWN ASS LOOKING PRINCE TO TURN UP ON THEIR FRONT DOOR OF THE HIDEOUT. Oh, and the crown prince could have seriously had the potential to be like a funny yet flirtatious friend, but no, he is a psycho. Asking her to be empress is one thing, but then drugging her and forcing her to be by your side all the time is not the way to go. I seriously love Roger. Anyways I hope you enjoyed my review.

 

My Little Monster by Robico

 16/04/26

The Plot:

The romance manga, My Little Monster, was written and illustrated by Robico on August 23rd 2008. Follows an intelligent and studious girl, Shizuku Mizutani, encountering the supposed wild card Haru Yoshida, a boy who stopped going to school a while ago. Shizuku has no interest in the boy Haru, having studied as her priority, rather than making friends. However, Shizuku is touched by Haru's innocence and lack of knowledge of human relationships and decides to acknowledge Haru more than anyone. Haru is viewed as a violent, uncontrollable person at school, but he is actually kind and gentle. After a while, he confesses his love for Shizuku, throwing a huge spanner in her study. What will Shizuku do?

Discovery and Opinion:

Hi everyone, Mocha here, and currently school is around the corner... Help. Soon, I have to do a legal studies report about rehabilitation. I hope that I am not too busy, as I might not be able to upload reviews weekly. Anyways, I discovered My Little Monster during year 5, I believe. Back then was the time I first started discovering many animes, and this one was one of them. I had my fair share of good anime and trash anime. This one, I believe was actually very enjoyable. Heck, I used the male lead's name for Kahoot and used to always win with it in year 6. At the time, I had only watched the anime and wasn't that interested in manga (That was until I discovered Toilet-Bound Hanako Kun). Only this week, I finally gave myself some time to read every volume. It was sort of a refresher, as I forgot a few scenes, such as Asako and her little attraction. I would say the anime really felt like good comedy back when I was young, but maybe now that I'm older, I don't find many things funny. In my opinion, this manga didn't wow me entirely, but it's definitely a good read and a classic romance manga in my opinion. The characters are funny, and the drama honestly doesn't frustrate me. Anyways let me introduce and explain the characters. This manga has also made me realise my interest in being a tuna fisherman. 

Characters: 

Shizuku Mizutani is the female lead. She has long light brown hair (Usually in two low ponytails) and dark brown eyes. She does not stand out, but her hair design is unique compared to the characters in the manga. I would say she is middle-class and takes her studies very seriously, due to not socialising with people. To everyone, she is 'dry ice', but whenever she is with Haru, she is the exact opposite (Only sometimes, though). She is a modest character and does not care much about appearance. What I enjoyed about her is how brutally honest she can be, having no worries of offending people, even calling out fake friends. She is flawed, but in a way the audience can understand, and I enjoy that part of her. Besides being fairly logical and composed, Haru brings a new side to her and challenges beliefs that even Shizuku has trouble understanding. 

Haru Yoshida, the wild card male lead. He has slightly long, wavy hair and black eyes. Haru has a handsome appearance and stands out among people. He lives with his cousin Mitsuyoshi and tends to help out at the baseball place he owns. Haru is a complex character. The way people view him is like a delinquent, but instead, Haru is awkward around people staring at him, and enjoys the company of people he loves. In general, Haru's personality is fairly passionate and very loud, contrasting with Shizuku's quiet and focused exterior. Despite being very talkative, though, he mysteriously hides a part of himself from others, such as his family, questioning whether Haru's relationship with his family may be very torn. I quite like Haru's character; he is talkative but not that talkative, in that he will tell you everything. He is a fairly funny character and tends to make me laugh. 

Asako and Sohei are the supporting characters in the manga and become friends with the two as the story progresses. Asako has light brown hair and, to her peers, is one of the most attractive girls in the school. To many, it may seem like an advantage, but to Asako, it is like a curse, in which many girls tend not to talk to her. Sohei, on the other hand, is a popular guy who plays baseball; he is sociable and tends to be very likable. I believe what they contribute to the manga and relationship is comfort and different opinions that people may have. I love these two, especially Asako. Her love life may be all wacky, but in general, she is a great and loyal friend to both Haru and Shizuku. At times, she even tries to get Haru and Shizuku to interact and push away people who may also have affection towards the two. However, Asako also allows people to confess their love towards both of them, not entirely disregarding their feelings. 

Kenji Yamaguchi was one of Haru's 'good friends', that was until Shizuku went to confront him about how Yamaguchi handles friendships. He has straight, neat blonde hair and attends a separate high school from many of the characters. His role in the manga is significant in making Haru understand and push to tell his feelings to Shizuku. I also believe he is significant when revealing the past, when Haru was unable or didn't feel like doing so. He and his group of friends really help the comedy aspect of the anime and manga. From having little fights with Haru to running away like they had seen a bear. It also helps develop Haru's character and how the audience can understand how he feels and understands friendships.  

Overall, the characters and the art style accompanying them are very well done. In the manga, there is a character I do dislike and wish I got to see more of, or understand more, though. But to be honest, some were just outright creepy. 

What did it do well on?

The manga, My Little Monster, is a great classic romance in the shoujo world. I wouldn't say it's entirely the best manga, but it is a good one for when you're trying to find an old romance. I also enjoyed that Haru actually didn't say a line that was in the anime in one of the scenes; it really made me like him more. Despite that, though, I did not like some of the things he did, such as licking her hand without her consent. It does have its good elements, though, such as introducing the balance of relationships and studies, which, in my opinion, is an element most people struggle with. I also liked how light-hearted it was, such as the characters building a chicken coop for the chicken Haru took in. I also enjoyed Haru and how different he was when he was with his family compared to Shizuku. It really made me think about how much he cherishes her.  

Overall, this manga was a little treat for me. I like the light heartedness compared to the many works I have read that are just trauma fuel. I am so happy I got to read this manga, as it has been on my mind for about 7 years, which is super long, and I wish I could just turn back time and watch it when I first discovered it.

On the Way to Meet mum by Gomyang

 10/04/26

The Plot:

The fantasy adventure manhwa, On the Way to Meet Mum, was written and illustrated by Gomyang. Follows the little boy, Mori, as he is rescued from a children's protection center. There, he learns new ways of life, one that includes grand care packages sent by a mysterious patron. But when his closest friends reunite with their mother and leave the center, Mori learns for the first time about the existence of a mother for every child, and decides to embark on a journey to find his own. But what sort of obstacles wait along the way? (Webtoon).

Discovery and Opinion: 

Hi everyone!! I am here to review another manhwa, and this time it is not a romance *Gasp* and doesn't have a yandere male *Double Gasp*. Like, honestly, I feel like there should just be two tags for my blog, Yandere and not Yandere, haha. In the meantime, talking about the blog, should I call you guys names? Like Coffee Enjoyers? or Readin' Roast? I have no idea, I don't think I'm famous for that lol. Anyways, I discovered this manhwa on a random Tuesday on Webtoon. I think I read it last year and remembered crying in certain chapters. Almost like Kotaro Lives Alone, which, if you haven't watched the anime, you need to!!  

This series really felt like an emotional ride, and I just adored Mori. If I saw him in real life, I would protect him until my heart stopped beating. I don't remember much, but I really loved the interesting character designs, as I have not read many manhwas that have aliens or creatures (I really need to). The story is set in a world where humans and creatures coexist, but I believe they aren't on mutual terms with each other. The creatures live in an area separate from humans. 

Characters:

Well, there are numerous characters I can discuss with the many unique character designs there are, though I will be discussing only three due to my lack of memory of other characters. First off, we have Mori, the little kid protagonist. In the beginning, he is found by the children's protection and is shown to look like a beast. His hair is long and messy, his skin scarred up, and his eyes show distress, setting up future events. As soon as he is taken into an orphanage, the boy is well groomed, and he even receives money from an unknown sponsor. "Who is the Sponsor?" You may ask. (Go read the manhwa, honestly, I think that is a must.) I believe this sponsor also handed Mori the little cape he has, and I have to say it really makes Mori stand out from many by looking like an adventurer. Mori, in general, barely speaks. He relies heavily on facial expression and body language, and I love that. He is so cute, and just reading this, I wanna take care of him myself. Bro, just look!!

Now, when this little guy embarks on a journey to find his mum, he encounters a devil named Rider, a marksman engineer who, alongside his robot invention/companion, is also embarking on his own journey. To the ladies or gentlemen who love yourselves a hot motorcycle guy, this is your one. He is a handsome demon with messy white hair and red skin. He has several green eyes scattered across his face symmetrically, and it looks epic. I tend to not like white-haired guys, but man, this one has piqued my interest. Rider's personality seems to be a very friendly individual, who may have malicious desires. When becoming close to Mori, though, he seems to change into a guy who generally cares about the kid, protecting and saving him from others. He is like Qi Rong from TGCF, except Qi Rong is just a tad messed up lol.

Lastly, we have Miria. Taking a look at her, she appears to be a biblical angel with her white hair and the six wings emerging. These wings curve like a halo and have glowing eyes appear. She is both divine and unnerving. Like a being that is angelic or is far superior. She also has four arms emerging from her, and her face is dark, followed by her eyes being only white. Miria's clothes resemble a nun-like dress and could express the character's modesty and nun-like attitude. She is intelligent, soft-spoken, and fairly kind, showing empathy to Mori. She spends most of her time studying, absorbed in her books, making Miria a favourable character.

The art style for this manhwa is amazing, and I just love how detailed the characters are!! Like they are all their own character and have very different features, apart from them not being human. I believe the demonstration of Mori's emotions was really cute, and I just enjoyed his tantrums because, after all, he is still a kid. 

What does it do well on?

The thing that this manhwa does well is convey a sense of adventure and hopefulness. The number of times my heart dropped, and I felt like crying was many. I believe it would definitely rip at your soul, just like Kotaro Lives Alone. I really enjoyed the interactions with Mori and Rider; it just felt like a father-son bonding. Especially from action scenes!!! Now, if you're interested, I'm begging you to go read it. It is wholesome and will really brighten up your day. Now I can't remember any cons to this, so you are in for a treat.

Secret Alliance by Lero

09/04/26

The Plot:

The romantic thriller Secret Alliance, written and illustrated by Lero. Follows the high school girl, Eun Sian. She is popular with the girls, being surrounded by them. Unfortunately for her, though, it just happens that she is terrified of men, not being able to communicate or even be near one, due to her mother's obsession with protecting her. Meanwhile, Eun Sian has made a friend, Yuri, a purple-haired beauty who seems to admire her. But it seems that Yuri's admiration for Eun Sian seems to be something more, and that she is willing to have her to herself. Will Yuri's admiration turn into obsession?

Mocha's note:

Hi everyone!!! I haven't been reading any manhwas or manhuas recently. Or mangas lately O_O. Recently, I have been watching a few anime (Jujutsu Kaisen, Charlotte, Diabolik Lovers) and am currently reading a danmei (Mao Dao Zu Shi), which I will review once I am finished. The manhwa Secret Alliance, on the other hand, is an older read from when I was around grade 8, so I may not remember much. I do remember how much I loved how unique it was back then. Additionally, this was one of the more tamer reads back then... Anyway, let's get into the review.

Discovery and Character Design:

Well, I found Secret Alliance when I was scrolling on YouTube (I must've searched up Yandere Male or something because this popped up). Now, to those who may not have read it, you may be asking, "Yandere Male, how can that be?" Well, unfortunately, you're going to have to read it to find out. Fortunately for those who don't want to read it, I will add a spoiler section. Originally, I also thought this was a GL, and to my surprise, it wasn't.  Especially on how pretty the two main female leads are. Eun Sian is the main character and has short baby blue hair that is unique, following her slightly darker blue eyes. I guess her having short hair is to make sure she does not draw attention to herself. In a way, in some people's eyes, she could look masculine or like a very brave woman, except she wasn't. She tends to be a fairly scared person and expresses confidence when she is with women. 

Yuri, the random girl who suddenly happened to become friends with her, is described quite differently. In some people's eyes, she is an innocent, feminine woman. She has long purple hair, along with her beaming purple eyes, and wears cute dresses, contrasting with Eun Seon. Yuri is a very energetic girl and often only shows affection to Seon. When other guys or girls approach her, she seems to show a dislike. In general, Yuri's appearance and personality give comfort to Seon.  

Another core character in the manhwa is the guy Hyun Yujin. He is Eun Sian's coworker and a playboy. He has long blonde hair put in a man bun and brown eyes. I believe his hair shows how much of a majestic character he is. He resembles a lion, and I actually feel that with his personality as well. He is a prideful individual and seems like a very loyal man to people he actually likes.  He is by far the only man Eun Seon has been the closest to and is able to form a friendship with. Bonus, he looks really good in the end chapters >.<.

The art style in this manhwa is amazing, and I believe the colours really suit the characters. Blue for Seon sort of expresses this innocence she has or timidness, whilst Yuri's purple can show that she can be overwhelming, and who knows, many Disney villains are symbolised with purple, so she may symbolise evil. Notably, Yujin has a welcoming aura around him because, I mean, who does not like a man bun? (Some people, but I'll ignore that. Bonus, his hair is also blonde and bright, which can create a sense of heroism because he is like the sun. This expresses how much thought Lero might have put into the characters, and I, for one, quite enjoy them. They are all very easy to recognise, like I could go "THE PURPLE ONE!!" and you would immediately get that I'm talking about Yuri, if you were reading the manhwa. 

What does it do well on?

Overall, I really liked this manhwa. The concepts, the ideas, they were all so well developed, and even the pacing! Like it didn't take millions of years to get to the end. Whilst some do well with long stories, I was glad this one was short. It just felt like each episode added more meaning and didn't have a lot of unnecessary things. Lero does an amazing job at developing her characters, and I was glad Seon started developing and healing her trauma. The ending, some may argue that they preferred another love interest, but I believe that who the main character ended up with was the best choice, and that the other guy had a better ending than the one he sought out for himself. By far, this manhwa does a great job of expressing suspense and a sense of uneasiness. I believe this would do well for a beginner's first suspense. It's not too messed up and has a little to no blood. So I would definitely recommend this for a beginner or even someone who enjoys yandere males. So if you're reading this post and you enjoy what you're reading, please go and read the manhwa!!

Byeeeee!!!! 

Spoiler Section
Read at your own risk!!!

Alright, to everyone who may or may not have read the manhwa, the fact that Yuri was her childhood friend who locked her in a shed due to her psycho mother wanting to move her away after finding out Chae Yul was Seon's boyfriend, blew my mind. He was generally so adorable as a kid. How did bro turn into a menace :(. I honestly enjoyed every single part. Unfortunately, I did not like the part where she just let Yuri do anything to her body when she was sad, like bro, you can't just let a girl touch you because you're sad!!! I know bro was having a fun time too, having all Seon's attention, but she was miserable as hell!

Oh, and okay, since I read this in year 8, the scene where he sneaks back into his room and starts doing some not-so-appropriate stuff, LITTLE ME THOUGHT BRO WAS HAVING A GODDAMNN FEVER, AND THAT'S WHY HE HAD SO MUCH TISSUES AND WAS BREATHING HEAVILY... Boy, was I wrong. It was funny when she caught him in the act, though. It would have been scary as hell, finally realising Yuri has been your ex-boyfriend all this time, but I can't stop laughing because I thought he was just blowing his nose.

In my opinion, I liked the ending for Chae Yul. Bro has shown willingness to change and gave up on pursuing Seon, letting her be with Yujin. Like he started to do manual labor and wrote a valid apology to her, like I'm actually happy he didn't pull out a ukulele, unlike someone. Honestly, this was insane, and I think I enjoy a hopeless Yandere that crossdresses hehe.

I'm doomed if they become obsessed by 특급환상배송

 25/03/26

The manhwa I'm doomed if they become obsessed by 특급환상배송 follows the main character, Ariel, as she wakes up in a world with no recollection of how she got there. Only a mobile phone to guide me. This mobile phone appears not to be a normal object in the world, though. On the screen, it detailed "To go back to the normal world and get back your memory, you must achieve 3 hearts from every love interest." Due to this, Ariel got tangled with the target's diligently to increase their favorability. At first, everything seemed to be going fine, until another notification popped up: "Once you reach six hearts, the target will enter an overheat state, greatly increasing the chance of a drastic ending." With this information, the tides have turned, and the chances of risk have increased. Will she manage to escape, or will the ending drastically change for the better or worse?

Discovery and Character Designs:

Hi, everyone, I'm back to talk about another manhwa again, and this time it's a harem manhwa! Also, yes, this one is yandere (Should I just rename this trash/yandere men because from the rate I'm going, I think I'm obsessed with them lolol). Currently, I am reading the manhwa and am up to chapter 76. I discovered this when I was bored out of my mind. I went to the yandere male Reddit and found this one. There are about 4 male interests in the manhwa, and I have to say all of them look quite cool. There is Skyler, who is the second prince, with a basic design, but has an interesting personality. Devoncia, his brother, has heterochromia, and I find that sick (Most manhwa I read don't usually have a design like his, like woah yellow and blue ahhhhhh). We also have Rex, who is the duke, and he's got red hair and yellow eyes (... He's also got a good physique.), and then last we have another nobleman who has long blonde hair and tan skin, unfortunately much was not said about him, all I know is that he has no interest in loving the MC at this point at time. The MC's design is basic, but I don't think I've ever seen just black hair and black eyes, like it's basic but unique, and that's what I love about her. I believe her character design shows just how quiet and cautious she is, in contrast to being bold or wearing very flashy clothes, as the crown prince. Honestly, I really like Devoncia's design as his hair is wavy and his eyes are those that no other male lead has. I would fall hard for him if he weren't just super suspicious and had a vibe of a Disney villain. 

Does well on:

Right at this point in time, I believe what the manhwa does well is conveying a sense of eeriness or edge to the viewer. Having the MC not remember a single memory and going through options, which may give her a penalty, sounds terrifying. The crown prince similarly also contributes to this by being so mysterious in whether the viewer should trust him or not. Like, for example, when MC took the aptitude test, he made it so that it was only him in the room. Like, I believe he has had an interest in the MC for a while, even before she became conscious of her body. Which raises the question, "Was he the one who erased her memories and transported her to his world?" If so, that is psycho, and I like it. Overall, I quite like the art style and her connections with all the love interests, especially Rex, which just feels like an old friend teasing you. Also, every time MC goes into a room with Devoncia, it is usually dim and has the colour purple, and purple can usually be associated with evil. Notably, I also enjoy the power imbalances that the MC has; like with people she's comfortable with, she does not have such a sophisticated facade, but when she's with the princes, she retains a barrier. Sure, it makes me frustrated, but I enjoy that. 

What I didn't enjoy: 

Well, this manhwa was quite enjoyable and at some moments made me get up and take a walk. I would say one thing I didn't quite enjoy in the manhwa was the way the MC's face was always so bland or just had the same expression. (Maybe it's different from the novel) But I guess it also shows her sense of caution. Another one is how slow the plot progresses and how there really isn't much going on most of the time. Like most of the time, it's her interactions with the love interests. Maybe if MC were to have time by herself, I might like her more because right now, I'm struggling to connect with her. Also, biased, I really want her to hang out with Skylar more, like I see her hanging out with Devoncia, but her moments with Skylar seem to make me love the manhwa. Another thing was the lack of character interactions with other characters, such as other characters such as maids or even friends she may make, just not the love interests. 

Overall, this story does quite well with the romance and eeriness, and I can't wait to see more. If you like this type of Manhwa, I invite you to have a go.

The Demon King Is Way Too Overprotective by Senri Miko

 18/03/26

The romantic manga The Demon King Is Way Too Overprotective by Senri Miko follows high school student Seina, who is juggling school, friendships, and paying the rent, leaving her with no breathing room. But when she nearly falls prey to a scammer and loses her hard-earned money, things go from bad to worse. Just when it seems like it is going to hit rock bottom, a stranger swoops in, claiming he is the demon king who's crossed dimensions just to be with her. Why? Because, according to him, Seina is the reincarnation of his lost love! Skeptical but unable to shake him off, Seina finds herself with a new, otherworldly roommate who’s hell-bent on keeping her safe, whether she wants his protection or not. What’s a girl to do when her biggest problem suddenly becomes a supernatural—and superhot—roommate? (The Demon King is Way Too Overprotective! | Seven Seas Entertainment 2024)

Hi everyone, I'm back for another review, and this time it is a manga! Lately, I've been on the male yandere Reddit and have been looking for... Pathetic yandere males. I think after Tamon, I have realised that they have a spot in my heart. Anyway, like I do in any review, I discovered this a week ago and completed it in two days. I would say that this did not wow me as much, but if you have nothing to read, this is a tame one. I know some of you might be thinking, "A male yandere again!?"  I promise I will try to find some action or ones that do not involve yandere! If you guys want to give me suggestions, I'll feel free to read them in my free time. My boyfriend has recently told me about Patron of Villains, and I might give that a go soon, too. 

Now let's get into the review. This story is 11 chapters long and was released around 2023. The art style overall is quite nice. I like the way Demon King is drawn, and it has stupid pointed ears. I can't say much about the character's design, though, as nothing is interesting about a slice-of-life high school student. The overall storyline, though, is quite calming and not quite impactful, but it gets interesting at the end, with her childhood friend being the reason she died. I would say it's quite boring with its plot. It is refreshing, though, reading it after all the trash I've been consuming. The character traits I would say are not that memorable, but I really liked her childhood friend. He was like this nice guy, but was fairly eerie when his face was much less friendly and more aggravated when hanging out with the demon king. (One character I really love and is not related to this manga is Qi Rong from TGCF, which I might review in Autumn.) Anyways I believe her childhood friend kind of carried when it came to the plot because the fact that he would murder the female lead due to fate was interesting. 

Anyway, this manga is quite tame, if you want to give it a read. It is not very yandere coded, like the title, the male lead is overprotective, but not to the point of cages and all that, but he will murder. Like, there was one scene where he wanted to murder a group of guys for harassing Seina. What was funny, though, was that since Seina rejected the idea of murder, he spawned cats instead to distract them. I feel like they wouldn't just stop harassing because of the cats, but I guess for comedic purposes it suits it. Overall, I give this:

6/10

Not bad to the point of being trash, but just very average and honestly could've added more elements or something that made it interesting, but also the ending was pretty alright. So yeah, if you are bored, you should give this a read.

Bunker Days by 2Myeon_z

 11/03/26

Bunker Days, written and illustrated by 2Myeon_z, is a thriller/romance manhwa that centres around the themes of obsession and psychological tension. It follows the female protagonist Nam Seo Woo, who lives with her relatives due to the death of her parents. Unfortunately, Nam Seo Woo is neglected and is kicked out of her house, and is made to find a place to live. She ends up trapped in a bunker and meets her blood-drenched childhood friend, whom she left behind. However, this friend doesn't appear to be what he seems to be. 

Hi, I'm back for another review. This manhwa at the moment is still currently updating, but I would like to write about it, as I could drop it. Currently, the translations are up to 11 chapters and provide small context and clues on what is going on. I also want to note that I had looked at the Yandere male Reddit and found that this manhwa had been posted. So the male lead could be a yandere; however, I have not been provided with any information, unless we take one of the characters' perspectives to heart. Though reading the chapters, his actions are deemed quite suspicious, such as locking the bunker door and watching her in her sleep (for sure this is yandere behaviour lol). We, as the audience, could theorise that he is lying about going outside and being trapped; however, we may need to wait a while to figure out the male lead, Wonhyuk Joo's motives. 

At the moment, I think the storyline is pretty interesting. Having a bunker as an idea is not seen so much in romance manhwa. However, forgetting the romance, I believe the thriller element is the most notable. Being stuck with your former childhood friend (that may or may not be a murderer). Could be seen as troubling and almost life-threatening. This is even worse when he might be lying. In my opinion, I would be very suspicious and grab a piece of furniture to break the door. Unfortunately, the door looks solid, and the protagonist doesn't necessarily have the strength. There is also another concept that builds up Wonhyuk Joo's character that contributes to the thriller, which makes the manhwa quite enjoyable, such as having a murderer as his father. This is not really explained, but from the recent chapters, I have the theory that the male lead may assist in the murders and could have murdered his father. Assuming that in the recent chapter, what the protagonist's cousin saw was his dad's body, unfortunately, I have been left on a cliffhanger. With this theory, the scene where the male lead stops the protagonist from answering the knocking on the bunker door due to his dad could show that Wonhyuk Joo's character is manipulative and would do anything just to keep the protagonist by his side. (It sort of reminds me of Bastard, as the male lead's father was also a murderer).

On another note, I am still left with a couple of questions, like. Does the protagonist's cousin communicate with the male lead? Is the male leads father dead? Will she ever get out of the bunker? I have yet to find answers about this, as sadly, I cannot find a novel around this, and I don't think there is. I would say this manhwa does leave you wanting more, but it depends on whether you enjoy romance. For me, I may look like I completely 100% love romance books, but this is not the case. I'm a big fan of angst, horror, and even messages that are delivered clearly. What made me slightly dislike this manhwa was the condoms put in the protagonist's bag by her cousin. It could be providing clues on her involvement, but I don't find it a contributing factor at all. Therefore, I cannot completely provide a full review, but judging by the elements and ideas in the manhwa, I am currently intrigued, yet I don't completely enjoy reading it at the moment. I may give a full review when this is finished, but I cannot guarantee it.

So, judging the manhwa, I give it around a 

6.5/10

It's intriguing, but it really isn't my cup of tea at the moment. It feels like your average wattpad story if the other elements don't build up character or plot. If you do like angst, though, I would semi-recommend this. It may get spicy, too, so if you want, you can stick around.

For your perfect ending by Merry Happy

06/03/26

The 2025 Korean romance Manhwa, For your perfect ending, written by Merry Happy and drawn by hedgehog. Follows the main protagonist, Yuseom, as she is brought back to her own world from being murdered by her husband, Killian, out of crazed obsession with her past transmigration. Yunseom possessed the duke's daughter, Ines, for twenty years and finally came back, waking up from a three-year coma. She is relieved that she will not be seeing her husband again, but that's when she sees a boy who has the same appearance as her husband. Will this just be a hoax, or did her husband also transmigrate?

Hi everyone. I had some free time and wanted to write a review of the story that I've been recently reading. I found this on Instagram as usual, and it seems like such a fun concept. I am up to chapter 23 right now, and I have been so impatient waiting for the next chapter. 

I find that most reincarnation concepts do not use such ideas as this one. For example, the story starts after the female lead has come back to her own world. Usually this happens at the end, but not for this one, though. The female lead is quite strong at the start, even throwing the male lead over her shoulder. (I would do that too if I saw the face of my husband who murdered me.) She is also very good at sports and usually gets picked to be on a team. I am just saying this because I love strong female leads, for example, Misaki Ayuzawa from Maid Sama was like my role model. I generally wanted to be just as strong as her lol. 

Now, about the male lead. He is interesting, he's like the type of guy who is nice, but you cannot trust with such little detail. Take Yu Jung from Cheese in the Trap, bro is terrifying when you don't know him. I don't want to give out any spoilers, but the male lead, Haewon, seems to be hiding who he truly is and might be fooling the female protagonist. (He could be a yandere ooooo) He comes from a rich family and has an abusive father. My question is, is he the one who also transmigrated with the female lead? I can't wait to find out.

I also want to point out that there might be a love triangle going on. I forgot the side male lead's name, but he is introduced in a panel where he is kissing a girl just for the hell of it. I mean, I really don't want the female lead to end up with this guy. I am not really the type to like players. Though if Haewon is actually Killian, I don't want him either because bro literally stabbed Yunseom.

Overall, I am looking forward to reading this, and I am having so much fun with every single chapter. If you like romances with a little bit of a twist, I suggest this. Though you might be waiting a little bit for chapters.

Classmate by Sooriboo

 05/03/26

Mocha's note:

Hi everyone!! Sorry, I haven't been posting lately. I've been busy with school work and learning the saxophone, so I can barely be on my laptop sometimes. I hope you're enjoying my reviews even though no one might even look at them T-T. This review is about an unfinished manhwa, but honestly, I can't wait to read more.

Classmate by Sooriboo follows the main character Eunha, a lonely girl, who is mainly a target for bullying by three people. She goes to a school that has an abandoned building, which she tends to stay in during break. This building has a lot of rumors about spirits, so people decide not to go near it. One day, though, Eunha's bullies lock her in a locker in the building and summon a ghost. Not thinking their actions were going to conjure a ghost, they decide to leave her in the locker and leave. What they didn't know was that their summoning had worked, and now the ghost was out to get them for revenge.

So, like all manhwas I read, I stumbled across this one through Instagram. It was an edit, and honestly, I liked the ghost guys' form. It creeped me out, but it was so cool having a male lead not look like a prince character for once. This is my fault, however, as I indulge myself in those types of books. 

Just yesterday, actually, I was scrolling the yandere male reddit, because I had nothing better to do, and there the manhwa was. If you have been reading my reviews, you would know how much I am a sucker for yandere male leads. There's just this fascination I have with them. *cough.... cough* Caleb from Love and Deepspace. Turns out the guy in the manhwa may turn into a yandere. I mean, he has got the potential, bro literally killed the guy who liked her but bullied her. Which is honestly valid, because what do you mean you bully your crush because you like them, it just doesn't make sense. The ghost killed him, though, because I believe he has an ulterior motive, something that may cause destruction to the school; however, Eunha does not know this. 

I forgot to mention the ghost is rather possessive or seems to want to keep Eunha by his side at all times. He even explained how he wanted to murder his only friend for leaving him and was rambling on about how he didn't want her to leave. This could be romantic or desperate. At the moment, I, as the audience, have no idea, but I can confirm that the manhwa has some romance in it; you just have to wait. 

Overall, the manhwa has an interesting concept, having a ghost male lead who doesn't appear to be what he seems sounds super cool, and to have him be this scary ghost is even better. I reckon you should give this a read. If you enjoy monster male leads and a pinch of horror that might not freak you out, but make you enjoy it.

Peekaboo!!

Scumbag Villains Self Saving System by MXTX

 21/02/26

Scumbag Villains Self-Saving System by MXTX is a Romance Danmei that centres around a trashtalker commentator transmigrator named Shen Qingqiu. He transmigrates as the novel's antagonist, Shen Jiu, who, in the original telling, was turned into a human stick by his disciple and protagonist, Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu remembers to make sure he doesn't upset Luo Binghe whilst balancing the role of an antagonist, so that the game system doesn't deduct points. What he doesn't know, though, is that being friendly towards Luo Binghe had turned the story into a very different genre. 

I first discovered this Danmei when I was scrolling through YouTube. I came across the Donghua of it, and at the time, was looking to watch something after my first Danmei, Heaven Officials Blessing. I would say the Donghua was quite amusing, and I enjoyed Shen Qingqiu's reactions because he is such a drama queen. Though after reading the Danmei, I am disappointed that they did not add Luo Binghe's curly hair. This would have fit so much because his curly hair is described to be like a sheep, I believe, and usually sheep are portrayed as innocent. Boy, do I have news. The Donghua had stopped at the key part of Luo Binghe's transformation, and so I decided to read the Danmei.

Reading the Danmei, I found it quite funny (I am a sucker for comedy, just wait until I write about TGCF in Autumn. Qi Rong is getting the biggest mention.) The way it would get quite intense at some parts, and hearing the thoughts of Shen Qingqiu, just made it so messy in a good way. Like, what do you mean you think Luo Binghe is straight? Have you seen the way that man looks and yearns for you? Not to mention, bro did not kill him after he had come back up from that pit. When he was imprisoned, Luo Binghe did not release him and instead accidentally tore off his clothes, like it was a sheet of paper. Made me laugh so hard I had to put my phone down and go walking around the house like a headless chook. 

After this, Shen Jiu's story was then told. It was sad the way he grew up, being someone who would get constantly abused and used as a servant. This did not justify his actions, though, when it came to harassing a female disciple. It was also revealed that a sect leader called Yue Qingyuan was possibly his soulmate in the original timeline. Unfortunately, since he was turned into a human stick, this could never happen. He was a childhood friend of Shen Jiu and showed a lot of care towards him in his younger years, even helping him to be a shizun, despite murdering his abuser. 

Anyways after this information, Shen Qinggiu later explodes inside. I won't say how, but you can read it for yourself (despite literally spoiling some information.)  Luo Binghe is very distraught, keeping the corpse of his master and not giving it a proper burial, or to his friend Liu Qingge. This is where it gets quite funny. Shen Qingqiu isn't actually dead and managed to be inside another body or husk persay. He avoids him as much as possible, but then stumbles upon Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge fighting. Shen Qingqiu's corpse is in Luo Binghe's hands, half clothed. Which raised the question. What on earth is he doing to my corpse? This scene will always be iconic to me, like you're in the room and you're seeing two people fight over your corpse (I would faint just like how Shen Qingqiu did in the Donghua). Anyways, after this or before I forgot the chronological order. Another Iconic scene that I just wanted to share is when Shen Qingqiu is just like, "He is straight, but why does he not take any women in?" The past Luo Binghe actually had a harem, so this question was quite funny. He manages to get into Luo Binghe's dream. Not being able to see his shizun due to him exploding their were many of him in the dream (Bro was a sad lover boy). Shen Qingqiu, feeling empathetic, goes up to him because what is the worst that can happen? He can't be spotted, nor can he be suddenly killed. He didn't expect Luo Binghe's lips to be on his, though. Afterall he thought he was straight, that was when he was wrong. 

There were other characters in the story, such as the actual author being a twink servant to a demon and being discovered by only saying a swear word. He was quite funny when paired with the main character, but I did not really enjoy reading about his relationship with his demon boyfriend. His demon boyfriend, Mobei Jun, was so ass though, so I skipped their extras. We also had Luo Binghe's father and cousin. His father did not seem to care about Luo Binghe as much, planning to murder him for his strength. He was, though, the biggest shipper in the novel. When he discovered the main character in the bed with him and his cousin, he just smirked (got me cackling fr). 

Furthermore, this Danmei was quite enjoyable. With the characters adding to the comedic aspect.  It was not as good as TGCF when it came to storytelling and romance. It was nicely written, though, and made me manage to put it down and laugh. Shen Qingqiu trying to convince himself as being straight was amusing to see.

Bossy President by ICiyuan

 17/02/26

Bossy President by ICiyuan is a Chinese romance manhua that follows the main character, Shi Xiao Nian (Nina Sze), as she is caught in a major misunderstanding with a high-ranking CEO, Oh Gong, also known as Aubrey Kung. Together they face hardships and challenges, including Xiao Nian Shi's family and blind friend Quan Chu Mu, and Oh Gong's trauma and paranoia, to form a relationship together.

I plan to release a review on a manhua, as many of my reviews have been on manhwas. Boy, do I have a tale to tell you with this one...So when I was going through primary school, I encountered a Gacha Life series based on this. Yeah, well, to inform you, I was a gacha kid T-T. Being new to the manhua space, I actually went on to search this up. I remember looking at this image of Oh Gong eating the main character's ice cream. This was actually my first manhua, surprisingly, and now that I look at it, I really shouldn't have read this (Like Diabolik Lovers, but that is for another time). Anyways, little me actually managed to read this piece of garbage for at least 400+ chapters, and then I decided to drop it. Yes, it is garbage, and I don't think anything will change my mind. 

First off, we as the audience are put in such a bad scenario at the very start. The female lead is at a sauna, and all of a sudden, Oh Gong and his goons open the sauna door, like, bro, have you heard of privacy? Then, to make it even wore he asks her, "Where is my child?" LIKE BRO WHAT-. When little me read this, she was completely fine, but I now want to throw my damn hands... I must have had half a brain because bro literally did illegal stuff. Also, she is literally kidnapped at the very start and held at gunpoint by him. I honestly felt super bad for her; he was plain abusive and was justified by his paranoia that he had to get sedated for. Like, I get it, your brother was in a car crash, and a lot of stuff happened, but it did not justify your actions. He even puts Xiao Nian Shi in the forest for a few days without food or water, like he should be behind bars.

Now I just want to mention the main character's blind friend Mu. He was once a blind boy who was childhood friends with the main character and could have been the main character's potential love interest if her sister had not interfered, that is. Mu had his blindness fixed and often took medication for it; this medication was some drug that erased his memories. LIKE SERIOUSLY JUST WHY UGHHH. With his memories erased, he would have the main character's sister manipulate his thoughts about the MC so that he would hate her. I felt really bad for him, and I seriously wanted him to be endgame, other than that piece of trash, Gong. In my opinion, Mu was quite a decent guy. He hated the male lead and had apologized for his actions, unlike that garbage. This is where it all goes wrong, though, and I completely blame it on the author and not his character. Mu actually went into a mad spiral. He loved the main character so much that I believe he kidnapped her. Seriously, though, I think this was the author's way of making the audience hate Mu's character and favour that abusive asshole. 

Ugghhhhhh, anyway, do I have any positive feedback about this? 

Particularly, I don't, unless you want the trashiest drama, go ahead. The art is pretty nice, but overall, the storyline and the characters are just horrible.

A Summer Night's Dream by Kim Su Bak

 14/02/26

The manhwa A Summer Night's Dream by Kim Su Bak is a romance story that follows the female lead and teacher Yeoreum Han as she plays the important role of Cupid. She has the ability to enter into students' dreams, and with this, she is able to manipulate the dreams to her will. This ability is later revealed to a student who can lucid dream, Si-u Park, forcing them to navigate the growth of love and friendship together.

Happy Valentines day, everyone!! Right now I am chilling at home, as my boyfriend happens to be on the otherside of the country, hehe. I happened to buy a few items for my saxophone, though, and I am excited to do many lessons! Anyways, since it was Valentines day, I thought a book that is heavily about romance and Cupid should be the next review. However, I had read this book a long time ago, so I may be quite vague in this review. Let me just tell you how I first discovered this, though. I think I was around year 7 when I first read this. At that moment in time, I think I was quite fresh on Webtoon. I think at that time I was living with my nan's and would sneakily read until late. (Sorry about that, Nan.) I happened to come across this and caught a glimpse of the artstyle which was the first thing that caught my eye. The title cover felt like something you would see in K-dramas. So I gave it a read and actually managed to finish it. I think I quite enjoyed how relaxing it felt. I also think I managed to read this manhwa due to how funny it was and generally the cool concepts that were involved. I do believe their were discussion about suicide relating to the male lead, but I believe it did make me feel a little bit emotional.

Uhm, I do have to mention that it is sort of a student x teacher romance. I hate this trope. I have no idea why a lot of books have it. For me, it irks me a lot. I see teachers as mentors and nothing else. I believe she is a student teacher and has not much of an age gap; however, it is still a bit uncomfortable. 

I wonder if anyone is reading this. Would you like to be Cupid?

I'll give you my answer. Seeing people happy is one thing I would perhaps enjoy about being a cupid. Though I believe love should not be meddled with. Perhaps a push, but not gently pulling at the strings. I may had a different opinion when I was younger, growing up, though I have seen negative impacts in meddling with others' romantic feelings. 

Anyways, this manhwa I remember many feelings from it. It is a bit tough to remember plot points on it. Sometimes I wish I had written my reviews back then... The artstyle and comedy were great. I generally remember feeling refreshed after reading this. So, with my vague description, you could also try reading this manhwa. I hope your Valentine's is great!

I give this a:

Trapped by Haemuri

 31/01/26

Trapped by Haemuri is a romance manhwa that centres around taxi driver, Han Chae Ah, as she navigates herself into a very dangerous situation. A man at the church she goes to turns out to be a vampire, who had just assigned her the role of being his body delivery. Unfortunately, Han Chae Ah cannot report him to the police because of her criminal record, so she devises ways to stop him or escape safely. What she didn't know was that she would end up forming an alliance with him, on the contrary. 

This one has to be my second favourite manhwa. For those who didn't know, I'm a sucker for vampire romances and this one excels. I had found this manhwa a couple of years ago when scrolling for... surprise, even more yandere content lol. Suprisingly I saw the cover to this way before and didn't bother reading it, due to thinking it was an action manhwa (maybe Park Yoon Soo looked like he was someone from an action manhwa??) I was surprised to know that it wasn't tough and decided to jump straight in. At the start, it was like a rollercoaster, and I did not enjoy the male lead as much because of how he treated Chae Ah, but then he decided to grow on me. After all, how are vampires supposed to survive without blood? Though I completely disagree with what he did to her. It takes ages to get to the romance, and trust me, I think it was worth it. I just enjoyed how they had separate goals until they aligned due to encountering conflict. To me, that's what made the chemistry, in my opinion. 

I also enjoyed the art style, which was quite different from many and started to evolve over time. I believe I recommended this to a friend, and they told me how they couldn't read it due to it, but I believe it is worth it. It honestly just marks the author's progress over time and their willingness to improve, and that is what I love to see. Both Yoon Soo and Chae Ah look so good, though. I love Chae Ah's eyes, how vicious she is, and her strong mind, and Yoon Soo's calmness, yet when it comes to Chae Ah, he changes a lot. She brings many problems to him at the very start because, of course, she would, bro literally made her be his accomplice. I love the chaotic relationship they have. Instead of Chae Ah falling head over heels for Yoon Soo, she decides to put herself first. The trauma from her past relationship impacts her majorly at that point, and it shows when she describes her feelings for Yoon Soo as something she will hate. Which, honestly, was sad, but it really drew me to her character. 

Also, I will say this story really enticed me to read more after they had gotten together. Usually, when it comes to stories like those, I put it off. It just kept going, though, and even had an arc that I extremely love and cannot spoil, where she is extremely mad with Park Yoon Soo.

I have to give a thorough review later, because I even love the side characters. School is honestly burning me out, though, and I want to take some time to do my studies. I hope you like this review and give it a shot. It's a great manhwa if you're looking for angst and romance. It's especially a enemies to lovers done right.
