"Maid in Honey" by Mari Yoshino

Series review of "Maid in Honey" by Mari Yoshino.

I absolutely love "Kaichou wa Maid Sama", and have been looking for something that looks just like it – a story with a hardworking heroine, a push and pull relationship between the heroine and hero (something that makes my heart flutter), and a hero that annoys our heroine but helps her grow into herself.

At school, Niko Nanase is a perfect high score student, admired by her peers, but the truth is that she has worked hard to enter the VIP private school with the not-so-noble propose - to find a rich husband. Somone who can help her make her dream come true, so she and her two younger sisters can find happiness again.

Nanase is by no means a damsel in distress, but you get the sense that she fails at making her dream come true alone.

Leon-kun is our male main character. An upcoming actor and school hottie, who quite early on shows an interest in our heroine. She's not impressed though by his flashy actor/playboy ways, and therefore it's no fun when Leon-kun blackmails her after catching her doing a part-time job, she's not allowed to do because of school rules. He promises he won't tell anyone her secret if she will be his maid.

This was a fun series about finding out what's important to you and being true to yourself.

❤️Leon-kun❤️

"Acid Town, Vol 2" by Kyugo

"Acid Town, Vol 2" by Kyugo continues to be a gritty and interesting read. If you love "Banana Fish" by Akimi Yoshida, then this is a must-read. A dark story with a yakuza setting, romantic BL vibes and a hero with a tragic past and something important to protect. It hits me right in the heart. Synopsis: In a run-down city beset with poverty and gangs, survival is a daily struggle for Yuki and his best friend Tetsu. In a desperate attempt to pay for Yuki's brother's hospitalization, the two of them get caught trying to break into a yakuza vault. But the gang's young boss, Kazutaka Hyoudo, takes an interest in Yuki and they strike a deal: Hyoudo is willing to take care of the hospital bills— for a price. A weekly visit to the Seidoukai office doesn't seem like much to pay, but the boys' connection to the criminal group has already begun to draw the wrong kind of attention. When a shady, malicious figure from Yuki's past reappears in h...

”There Are Things I Can't Tell You” by Edako Mofumofu

”There Are Things I Can't Tell You” by Edako Mofumofu is a sweet coming of age story about unrequited love. Kyousuke is bright and popular, while Kasumi is a clumsy outsider, but the two very different boys become fast best friends in elementary school after Kyousuke sees Kasumi hanging a note with a wish onto the Wish Tree in the school library with the words ”I hope to marry someone I love and live happily ever after”. The theme in the story is ”What is happiness?”. The story is told from both Kasumi and Kyosuke's point of view - from elementary school boys to now 27 years old men that are trying to figure out what love and happiness is. I really liked that. It made me feel connected to the two men that come from different homes and have different demons that are following each of them into their adulthood. I hope there will be a book two because this was a great beginning.

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta is a hilarious romantic comedy about Erika (The wolf girl) who cried too many times that she has a boyfriend – when she actually doesn't. Her friends think she's a liar, and scared of being left out in the cold, Erika takes a picture of a random hot guy in the street. If only she had known that they know him already because he goes to her school! The disaster feeling is strong when Erika is almost caught in her lies, but Sata, the guy, listens to her pleas about him becoming her fake boyfriend. He's a nice guy and agrees - all she has to do is be at his beck and call. His own personal slave dog. Turns out he's a wolf in sheep's clothing! Now, now, before anyone goes complaining that this guy is evil and mistreating her, just remember that Erika could stop this farce at any time by telling the truth to her friends. She doesn't and I think for sure there's going to be an important lesson to be learned he...
