He also knows about rice and porridge, so it does sound like he's an reincarnator 🤔

First of all, I'm lucky I found someone who would listen and validate my feelings / concerns. I also have the desire to make this relationship work compared to my previous one where I was more "meh" to the whole situation. It's very rude and immature of me.

I'm still bad at talking, I'd forget where I was going with my sentence. So I would write down my thoughts no matter how messy, edit it to make it make more sense; either that have a better conclusion / listing the order of events of why I felt what I felt. Then, I would let my partner read it. That way, it gives me time to internalize my emotions in my own time (if it's very overwhelming, I'd cry while writing it), and allow myself to calm down when we have the discussion.

I also tell him in advance if there's a serious topic I want to discuss so we both make time for it and we both know we'll approach this seriously. If we're talking about non-partners, then talking to them in private; setting them aside or make time to meet just the two of you, would work too. IF they're open for that type of dialog. I guess it depends on how big of a deal the discussion is. Sometimes, if I know the person can't accept differing / outside opinion, I wouldn't bother.

Human relationship is tricky. We all have to adapt and grow, but not lose ourselves in the process. I'm still learning, but I hope you can find that balance and find the people who appreciates you for who you are.

Dang! Time to meet the parents already?!
Next thing you know she'll propose to him in front of them "I want to marry this one."

You get a vampire! You get a vampire! Everyone gets a vampire!!

Right! I thought so too!
(Also, omg I'm so dumb. They're called hooves! Why did I write horse foot?!)

With her shoes being split in the middle like that, I genuinely thought she'd have some horse-foot / horse nail or something.
It looked too in the middle to be a toe split, ninja shoes of sorts, isn't it?
Coz... her nose kinda looked like she was drawn as a cow / pig, so it makes sense if her foot were... of the split kind.

did you do it... as a dare? or curiosity?

When you find the right one, everything becomes so easy!
Also, I envy her for not gaining weight from eating all that cake he bakes throughout the years. Maybe she jogs along with him to keep herself skinny.

Why is this only a oneshot!

ugh, too short!

The skeptical one always become a tsundere

I guess because it's romance, so they focus on the romantic side of how her eyes would be useful, but it'd be great to see how she'd be useful for the kingdom at the ending; time skip to being a queen, supporting the prince-now-king doing the stuff you mentioned. Even as a exposition dump paragraph.

I'm assuming the office is their old/original building? Maybe that's why it's so rundown, and why she's adamant on using it, because that's where she found that "happiness" and value in herself.

aaah! I knew it was coming but it's still sad to see it end. I hope there's some side story or something. The chapter title doesn't have [end] on it, can I still hope? XD
Also, I totally did not recognize that was Koshigaya. And she's picking up her kid! So cute!

I remember lady Clarice! But also forgot her rank and therefore her importance in the country's ranking. Quite random that she happens to be there near the backstage. She must've been concerned to go out of her way to be "lost" and needed an escort back to the carriage.

Asking a child who she likes better is kinda a shitty move. The King is also shitty for hiding a lot of things from his sons; the eyes' power and the crown prince situation. It's not like it's some form of test to see who's better anyway. If I were her, I would just leave the palace and not be involved with the kingdom. Was she the only person in her family that has the power? How would / has the power be used for the kingdom?
I know it's a one-shot but could've been fleshed out better instead of focusing on "2nd prince gave me frogs". She could've used her power when choosing a fiance as a child. Or talk to the prince and ask why he gave her frogs. Why do I care so much about this? XD

oh I'm following Yotsuba! But the update is so slooow. Just like Flying Witch. I'm also reading the Isekai Slow Life one XD Haven't seen the Nukoduke one though.
I'm not necessarily looking for romance. Just a slow life with its own world building. I was interested in the world building of Made in Abyss but the story turned dark.

I'm also looking through the iyashikei list. I never knew that! I see some familiar titles I'm reading already, but there's a bunch others I haven't seen before. So thanks for that recommendation!

Ahh, I cried. I completely forgot all of this was streamed. Even the personal part when the son and mom cried together 😅

So now, a chapter about ghostwriting? Wouldn't Chouko be more moody if Mariko's writing turns out better than her?

This is the kind of manga I never want to end. Do you have any other recommendations of manga similar to this?

I think it is. I was hoping she'd bring it back and give it to her for free. That'd be more slap in the face since she got it with not much effort. "I killed 40th floor dungeon boss 20 times and this dropped. You can have it"
