R-18 Love Report! · review
The manga is pretty short, if I would say so myself. I guess it would be a okay quick read. You see, the story is not amazing. I feel as if there are a lot of plot holes, and some things could've been explored more. I would say it's very predictable, and standard kinda. Really nothing you would remember in the long run. It could've been better if it were longer, but that wouldn't change it's score nor my opinions on it. The art is normal for that time I believe. I don't really have a problem with it, but it's nothing outstanding. For characters, theyare kinda shallow. The mc, Rico, is your standard shoujo girl with the trait of a standard harem guy. By that I mean getting nose bleeds and being very perverted. At points she becomes annoying.
The main love interest( or whatever you call it ), Minato, is so weird? At a very quick rate he reavels his love for Rico and it kinda just feels forced. He also quotes people and sometimes does it at a very weird timing, it becomes comical. I really don't know why he even really does that, I feel like they're trying to push the narrative that he's an author by doing so if I'm honest. They also very briefly touched on the fact that he was a Gigolo(?), and I guess it was to establish that he wants to see the real person or whatever. I just didn't understand what his motive was? Like why did he want to understand? I just didn't feel like it deepened the character that much.
The so called rivals don't feel like they even have a motive for being rivals. Even one of them just up and disappears? The other just wants the person back because why, we don't know. Maybe I missed it, but it really is weird.
Minor spoiler, but I think the movie thing where the reason they broke up was because she was a guy.. is problematic? Or like of course is really bad to decieve someone, but it maybe could have been handled in a better way? Maybe I'm just ranting about a very little detail, oh well.
These generic hidden identity mangas really only has one ending, huh.
