My Fav Shoujo-Josei Manga Recommendation
Currently, I've indulged myself in Korean manhwa/webtoon, so I decided to go back and read some Japanese manga for a change. And I highly recommend checking them out since these are some of my favorites. Most of them are pretty new, and it wasn't that long before they started serializing in various shoujo/josei magazines.

i indulge in the occasional trashy too-long-a-title isekai manga, and i wanted to give a particular shoutout to this one for having the excellent premise of a guy who doesn't give a fuck about jrpgs getting isekaid into a game he knows next to nothing about and accidentally derailing the original plot by adopting the main characters and negating their edgy tragic backstories by being such a good father to them

Short Cake Cake Review (Spoiler Free)
7.5/10
It's a manga from the same author as A Sign of Affection. So, I knew it was going to be interesting.
With the expectations I already had, after reading it I was blown away.
Without going into too much detail, it had the very known tropes play out but the tropes were done cleanly well, and it felt so new.
Ten is not my favorite shoujo girl but she's one of the likable memorable ones.
Riku ... wow this one was a piece of work. I honestly didn't think he'd be anything more than the flirty boy. I want to be careful about what I say cause he was not what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised with his role in the series. But then the backstory (which I will not spoil) and how he developed his friendship with Ten and Chiaki was beautiful.
And then Chiaki. He was the first guy introduced and was the one that really threw me off with his part in the series. Cause he was serious and sad but then RIKU exists and He's weird about Riku and there's nothing wrong with that.
When I was reading this, I didn't know who the Male Lead was. I know the rules and am familiar with how the MLs are introduced, but I was so wrong.
I wished Ten interacted more beyond Chiaki and Riku. She had a best friend who brought the boys into her life but barely interacted with them. I wanted to see more slice-of-life and just goofy days but I understand why the family drama had to take place.
But, yeah, I wanted to see Ten interact more with other women cause I prefer friendships over romantic relationships. Cause if you don't have a strong built friendship, any romance would be bland to me. I need to see the difference in love between friends and romance.
But Still, I'd recommend this for a nice, beautiful story of romance between Chiaki and Riku. That's the main point of the story.
