This is the first time I have read a manga anthology. Basically it has one shots having the basic premise of an otome, female lead getting together with the male lead, compiled into a singular manga. While it was interesting to gain a new experience from this, I would like it to remain my first and last one.
As from before you know that these are basically one shots, it does not have the best pacing in the world. The only time I thought the pacing was a bit fine was in only a single chapter out of the six I have read so far.
The
...
formula for the story goes like this :-
i) About the situation and how she got there in a page or two
ii) Then the current drama which lead the female lead and male lead to somehow get laid in the bed in about 10 pages or so
iii) Then all the smut in the remaining 8 to 9 pages
iv) Occasionally, they give a page or two in the end to tell the aftermath or the conclusion of the story.
It does not deviate from its formula even a little bit. The stories are nearly identical. The fl meets ml, they lock eyes, they fuck and then game over.
Art is fine, like a 6 or 6.5. Its not like it does anything different in the art style to differentiate itself nor does it excels in the art style it uses.
I mean about characters, what about them? They come in one chapter and are never used in another. There is minimal character personality, so character development is automatically out of the window. Any romantic development comes off as forced so no real rooting for their adventures. And by adventures what adventures am I even talking about when all the chapters does is follow the same shallow script without changing any of it?
Only read this if your attention span does not allow you to read anything more than a chapter or so.
