"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❤️

”Love, that's an understatement, Vol 1” by Fujimomo

”Love, that's an understatement Vol 1” by Fujimomo is like a semi-mafia romance set in a school environment. I loved how the worlds of smart girl, Risa, and Zen and his group of delinquents mix. To some is Risa a very responsible person. To her classmates, she's robotic and cold. Of course, she doesn't like their view of her, but she is this way to not cause worries. But it has the effect that Risa is alone and doesn't know how to ask for help. I liked the mental picture the mangaka draw with Risa's heavy bag. Risa's bag is full of things that can help her in any given situation, so she doesn't have to rely on others. It becomes clear that it's a heavy burden if you can't get help when you need it. Risa is by no means a damsel in distress. She's more than capable of taking care of herself. We see it again and again in the story. There are scenes where most people would panic, but where she stands up for herself, and I screamed in delight! ...

”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...

"When We Shout for Love, Vol 3" by Yuka Kitagawa

The "When We Shout for Love" series by Yuka Kitagawa is a wholesome and satisfying read. It's about friendship, empowerment, and about being passionate about the things you like. This is a read for everyone that likes stories about fandoms. Especially if you like when fans meet their idols! I flew through this series, and couldn't get the next volume fast enough. Cute, adorable, and fast-paced with reliable characters. I loved the growth Mayuko go through, the music that inspires her, and the fanciable Ohba-kun for his support and patience as Mayuko struggles with her anxiety. It was nice to read a story with no miscommunications but with positive messages about not caring about other people looking at you, and daring to do the things you love. But I'm sad now because volume 3 was the last in the series. One thing is sure, I will check out the author's other works!
