My Pink Is Overflowing · review
It hooked you in. It started off with girl got cheated on, then even duped by a married dude who went to a goukon and tried to pick her up! Then he insults her (the douchebag married dude with a kid). She got drunk in the cafe she worked at. Somehow she ends up in a hotel with her boss. Her boss will only date someone with the intention of marrying them. (so you can already predict the ending.) So her goal is to make him like her. He's willing to date her. It even had humor. Like when Kazuki, the male lead, was atthe pharmacy trying to figure out what to buy. You got your overly dramatic female lead with your standoff-ish tsundere male lead. But then he became overly affectionate once he fell for her. Not the tsundere he started off to be.
The first three volumes were good. There was drama. What's with douchebags, they wanna get with you then insult your face when you don't do what they want you to do? Relatable. Who hasn't had that happen when you went to a bar.
None of their insecurities are shined on again. It started off with them both having insecurities about dating again. Her getting dumped and rejected. Him freaking out girls when he tells them straight up he'll only date if they're going to get married. He isn't going to waste his time, which is highly commendable.
I don't fall for they get together, they'll magically be free of their insecurities weighing them down.
Where's the enthusiasm from the first few chapters? Their insecurities? I don't think love, being together will waive them of their insecurities and worries. It was down-to-earth, relatable initially. You could relate to them.
I liked the art. It looked like a shoujo manga. The art was the saving grace.
But then, it became what I assume is fifty shades of gray manga form.
Them just getting intimate nearly every chapter. Smut almost every chapter that to me, just became bland.
And then it just ended with what you assume would happen. I just lost my enthusiasm.
Read the first volume or two. It started off really well but just became bland and rather boring. It started off so so well! It had the right mix of smut, tsundere male lead back when he was a tsundere and drama.
