Manga Review: Engage Knight

Engage Knight story by Chika Isaka and Mayu Kasugi (2 volumes- complete) Tiaris enters the Noble Course of Grunwald Senior Imperial  Academy to fill in for her sickly twin brother. No, she didn't pretend as a boy but she actually volunteered to be one and the other girl flatly pointed to her that she's going to be found out.  Gender bender aborted. Aside from being a substitute, she's also given the task of looking knights for their kingdom from the students of the Knights Course. The cover and the summary of knights coming after her made me want to read this. The "engage" part is an original idea too but only 3 chapters are available so far. I'm inspired again to create the tag "knight" for other similarly themed titles.

Polls: Hanayaka Wari Couple

And the winning pick for Haru is... Hiroshi! He's the inventor among the six brothers. I'm totally surprised that he's the winner. I feel like Haru is the safest with him compare to the other hot-tempered brothers. But it's cute that he's so oblivious with his feelings for her. Thanks to the 281 people who let their voices heard! And for breakdown of the votes: Hiroshi 112 (39%) Isami 55 (19%) Susumu 45 (16%) Shigeru  29 (10%) Tadashi  22 (7%) Masashi 18 (6%)

Drama Review: Nail Shop Paris

Nail Shop Paris - 10 episodes Hong Yeo Joo is an internet novelist dedicated to the lore of gumihos. To get inspiration, she tailed a guy and ended up pretending as a boy in a nail shop with flower boy nail artists. For flower boys + work, we had coffee shop, ramyun shop and now we have a nail shop. The weird thing is they decided to pair the gender bender + flower boy with supernatural theme of gumihos. But I love the idea of flower boy nail artists. Girls would be swooning with handsome guys holding their hands. But the reverse harem ends there. The romance setup was a love triangle. But even with just 2 guys, the drama made me doubt myself several times of who'll she end up with.  It had it's 3 or 4 great cliffhangers but I was not  100% emotionally hooked. There where three factors. 1) The acting of heroine, Park Gyu Ri. She only have one expression! 2) The storyline and sub-plots are so random. I was afraid there's going to have a lot of loose ends but the
