My Thoughts


Review covers 47 chapters 

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Katie’s Corner. Today I’ll be covering my favourite smut manga. First of all this manga is for mature audience. Mostly all smut mangas are 18+, however, minami Kanan draws everything with a lot of sensuality and hotness, leaving only bits to our imagination. And well, her stories are amzng, both with the plot and the drawing. To be honest, this manga is my favourite of all mangas by Minami Kanan. I think I have read it about 10 times by now. And every time I read it as if I’m just starting it.

But let’s get back to the story. You may think that it is another boring story about a poor girl and a rich boy, however, that’s not all there is. Our heroine – Yuzuru is a normal high school girl, who during summer-break worked at a hotel. Everything would have been great, if not some bad tempered customers. The worst part is that these customers are from Yuzurus’s school, and from the elite class. Meet our Hero – Kai Renge, the biggest pervert and sadist ever. But nevertheless you just can’t not fall in love with him. Even through in the beginning you just want to kill him very soon he will show his good sides. Well, the appearance of a villain also helps to acknowledge Kai as the good guy.

Yuzuru is something extraordinary. Well, she is just your dumb girl with a nice body and a good character. Why is she dumb? Come on, even when I was first reading I already sensed something fishy as soon as one character appears. I won’t spoil the surprise for you. You have to read everything by yourself. One the other hand we have Kai, he was really interesting character to read about. The character development is really amazing. Not only his character gets to grow up during the story as a person, but all of them and reading about it makes it more and more amazing. All twists and turns in their life make you more and more compelled to keep on reading.

Even though the story is not short, it is not that long too. To say the truth I would have loved to read a lot more about my favourite characters. I loved how it ended, but a bit more would have been so, so good. I’m still hoping, for a short story abut their future selves. It would have been a lot of fun to see them as parents. But well, guess, I’m not getting it.

I hope you will find sometime to read this superb manga, but kepp in mind its for mature readers, and you should get used t it a bit, but you’ll definitely love it a lot. Don’t hate Kai for his stubborn and shitty behavior in the beginning, you’ll be soon drooling as soon as you see his face. Enjoy it to its fullest and stay tuned to Kate’s Corner for more reviews and promos. You might find our next favourite book or manga here. Don’t forget to share your thoughts! Happy reading!

Summary


Tsubaki is a girl who loves making her younger sister's hair pretty every morning, but she doesn't think that kind of style suits herself! The day of her High School Beginning Ceremony, after she failed in being the top student (who usually makes the ceremony speech), she finds herself sitting next to the actual top student of the first years, the worst rude guy ever, Kyouta. She ends up cutting his hair on purpose because of the bad things he says to her. Kyouta demands that Tsubaki pay him back with her body, but Tsubaki fixes his hair instead--making it even shorter! After that, Kyouta unexpectedly kisses Tsubaki and swears that he'll make her his woman.

My Thoughts


Review covers 99.5 chapters 


Hello everyone! Welcome back to Katie’s Corner. I have something really great for you today. First of all this may not be the most favourite manga of mine, but I do love it a lot. Well, I love all the mangas written and illustrated by Minami Kanan, especially if they have smut in their genres. She is just fabulous at drawing such things, and her main characters, guys especially are really big perverts, but that just makes them even more amazing. And you just can’t not fall in love with them. You’ll just drool all over your manga while reading.

There is only one word to describe this manga: best hardcore shoujo. Oh, those were two words, but well it’s an amazing shoujo manga. It starts with an absolutely unpopular girl and a popular boy falling in love with each other. Well, their relationship didn’t really start that smooth, both of them kind of hated each other in the beginning, they did have their reasons. Everything does start with a quite bad start, but very soon both of them find themselves deeply in love with each other. But will their love be enough to overcome what is waiting for them in the future? That’s up to you to find out.

The characters are amazing, especially their development. Both Tsubaki and Kyouta have a long way to go. And all their feelings are shown in this manga; their fears and their joys, their love and also their sorrow. The manga covers a really huge part of their lives. One of the best parts is when they break up so Tsubaki can find what she wants to do in the future. Manga focuses quite excessively on the future and that not all of us know what we want to do, as well as that we should follow our dreams, and we should fight for them and even stand up to our parents to make them understand that it is our lives, not theirs.

Now let me just explain one thing before I finish up here. This is something with their names. You might have a problem getting why they are called every time differently. In Japan using a person’s first name means you are very close to this somebody, so it is common that in mangas sometimes people call each other by their family names. So now back to my explanation. The heroine’s name is Tsubaki Shibano, while the hero’s name is Kyouta Tsubaki. Meaning Tsubaki for a girl is first name, while for a boy a surname. Hope, you will not be confused after reading this.

You will enjoy this manga a lot. It has everything. A lot of love, but quite a big portion of heartbreak too, nice humor and a lot of every day life problems. The characters are amazing. They impress you from the very first page and you don’t really want to put the manga down until you finish it. I hope you enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts with me below. Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promo posts of many interesting books. Happy reading!

XOXO
