Otome Isekai+
Normally would not blatantly advertise but the Fediverse is so tiny and so is !otomegames@kbin.run. r/otomegames is lovely, but they are non-Fediverse and I'd love to be able to talk to people here about otome instead of having to run back to Reddit. (Used to post at !otomegames@kbin.social until kbin.social went down.)
94 chapters!!! Cannot wait for next week.
Holding my breath until next week
He is in prologue right? He is not going to die right? Right!? Chapter 90 in Zinmanga

Thank you for your understanding, and we will do our best until the return. > Thank you for always! Its November 11. Wohoo!
I’ve finished all I currently have available to read. I am “currently reading” some incomplete series (or at least series whose English manga version I do not have access to): * The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen - From Villainess to Savior * Villainess Level 99 - I May Be the Hidden Boss, But I'm Not the Demon Lord * My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom * Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte I have read I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, but I’m not going to finish it up. I really enjoyed what I read so far up to chapter 12.5, and don’t have access to the rest. But from what I’ve heard, the stuff after chapter 12.5 focuses heavily on some tropes/plots that I personally don’t enjoy, so I’m not going to continue. Edit: what norm did I violate or do wrong lol, I’m not sure why I’m being downvoted
This give me a quite a laugh. Is sharing favorite food really that big of a deal? Cooking your partner's favorite food for a surprise probably is. This is taken from Yonder review on My In-Laws are Obsessed with Me. I don't know which chapter this person commented on.

I would post it on reddit but I deleted my reddit account and I don't want to go back there lol
I can't really tell too much about it without spoiling the 1st chapter. All I can tell is that it's definitely not the type of story you would expect with that title. I recommend reading the 1st chapter on Webtoon because of the built in BGM.

When I was new to reading otome isekai and rofan comics, I came across this in an unofficial translation of Romance in Reverse and laughed so hard at how weird and random it was. Anyone else encounter some MTL nightmares or gems?
Though I probably didn't look this *Sha la la* during my bowl cut phase
This was the panel before 😏 
Much less nine of them
Beware the Brothers, Little Princess Mint, Lady Devil, etc. = #1 reason to read spoilers
No one will ever be good for his baby girl. Lol
I realized I missed the low-hanging fruit of a favorites list. OI veterans have likely already read all these, but worth posting in case anyone is new to the genre. I have too many favorites to list but here are some from each category that take the cake for me. *** **Family:** I'll Become a Matriarch in This Life Awesome MC that does things within reason of her abilities, best father in an OI series that doesn't make his child earn his love, supportive family, and plot that keeps moving along. *** **Romance:** The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion (Complete) Mentioned this one in the other post about sisters. Strong MC, sweet romance, a plot that reminds me of an old mystery book, art to support the mood of the series, and hilarious. *** **Comedy:** A Single Round at Romance is Enough You'll only like this if the author's sense of humor matches with yours. I love it. It's comedy gold how the MC is exactly halfway between being done with life and ready to live to her fullest. The interaction between the characters is fun too. *** **Plot:** The One Within the Villainess It keeps moving. No unnecessary filler, it's all plot. The MC is doing something every chapter towards the ultimate goal (and does it in the most badass way possible). It's nearing completion but updates slowly. I read the novel for this one and it's great to the end. *** **Revenge:** The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass (Complete) Up until the revenge is completed, it's high quality. After that it drags to completion since the exciting part is over. Mielle's facial expressions makes her one of my favorite villains.
The author was born in 1960 and smallpox was eradicated in Japan 1979. Red River was published in 1995 so it's a testament to how tragic smallpox was to have a lasting impression on the author over a decade later. Disclaimer that I haven't read it myself. My friend did and shared this photo with me back in late 2020 when COVID anti-vaxxers were emerging. Ignoring that vaccination doesn't work like this, much less in an alternate world with completely different strains, the author has the right idea about vaccination. It's sad that it's become so political.
Drama and mystery are fun but can get tiring at times. Sometimes I just want to read about someone enjoying life in a different setting. These are my favorites that are relaxing even if not the most exciting plot-wise. *** **Marronnier Farm Near the Imperial Palace** A soothing series about a lady who just wants to farm and cook. (Her resignment of being unable to afford land and a house is low-key relatable.) She gets the chance when her grandpa leaves her a plot bordering the imperial palace. Lots of friends and delicious dishes are made along the way. *** **Tanaka Family Reincarnates/Tanaka ke, Tensei Suru** Silly noble family eats poisonous mushrooms. They all survive and as a side effect, they wake up realizing the whole family has been reincarnated from Japan and soon after find their reincarnated (now giant) cats. The whole family is of the mindset of avoiding anything that sounds like too much trouble. *** **Saving 80,000 Gold Coins in the Different World for My Old Age** Japanese girl almost dies but instead gets the ability to hop between Earth and another world. She decides the best way to use this power is to open a convenience store and ~~scalp~~ sell Earth products to the inhabitants of the other world. **I Shall Survive Using Potions** Same author as the series above. An adult Japanese woman is accidentally sent to another world by Earth's god. As compensation, the god of the other world (who is madly in love with Earth's god), puts her back in her teenage body and gives her the OP ability to make any potion in any container. She sets out to become rich and find love. *** **A Capable Maid** I'm not up to update so unsure on the current state. At least for the beginning I did read, the MC is a generous maid (former illegitimate princess) who receives a blessing to be "capable" which allows her to help out around the palace. Sweet episodes about how her actions have a positive effect on the people around her. *** **I Will Live as a Supporting Role in this Life** Honorary mention for being a series boring enough that the translators started playing bingo and dropped the series when they hit bingo on their second, expanded bingo card. (This is a joke. Don't actually read this unless you're struggling to fall asleep or want to see the masterpiece of a bingo card.)
I count five in the first photo and four in the third. Not a series I personally liked, though I appreciated that she moved on unlike some main characters that stay with the trashy original male leads.
While I love OI, one of the things that bothers me about a lot of series is how they tend to pit women against each other, especially in families. There's a lot of series with positive brother-sister interactions (though it could be argued they swing *too* far in the other direction), but a sister generally either doesn't exist or is a *removed*. Below are some series that portray supportive sisters along with some of my personal opinions. If you have any recommendations, please share. *** **Cassmire: The Loyal Sword** Half siblings. Little sister is a bit intense in a good way, but it makes sense considering she and the MC only had each other to rely on for a long time. I like this series so far. Not really a spoiler since it's in the first chapter, but marking it on principal. I love that the MC genuinely cares for her sister. ::: spoiler spoiler She loved and took care of her long before she realized she was isekai'ed and once she found out, it was basically, "nothing changes except I can now send my sister to a better life even if it's not with me." ::: *** **Cheerful Countess Sisters (Complete)** Half siblings. The first part of this series was phenomenal, but I hated it from when the romance started. It went from a ten to a two with the unnecessary drama. Worth reading for the first part where the sisters get to know each other. *** **The Princess in the Dumpster** Half siblings. It's been a long time since I read this one so not sure how it is to update. I love that she has an awesome older sister AND brothers AND all the siblings treat each other sincerely (the older sister is not pushed aside for the new younger one). *** **Everything's Coming Up Roses** Step-siblings. One sister and one brother. I dropped this because it got too boring for me, but it tops my list for healthiest handling of trauma. ::: spoiler spoiler The dad hires a child psychologist understanding that he does not have the experience to help her heal on her own and she doesn't magically heal, the childhood abuse still affects her long down the line. ::: *** **An Unseemly Lady** Full siblings. There's a large age gap between the MC and her older sister so her older sister also plays a motherly role. Very sweet relationship. Though be warned that ::: spoiler spoiler it's a sad series because the author was realistic in portraying how people drift apart with time. ::: *** **Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness! VOLUME 1 CHAPTER 2** Half-siblings. It's an anthology of short stories. Volume 1 Chapter 2 specifically has a story relevant to this list. It's a fast and satisfying read. *** **The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Masion** Full siblings. The sister only appears briefly at the beginning and middle so this series barely qualifies; however, it's one of my favorite series in general so I included it. *** Two series I consider questionable for other reasons and don't recommend but technically include this dynamic with full siblings are My Sister Picked Up the Male Lead and I Became the Ugly Lady. ::: spoiler spoiler (Yes, the series where her fat melts off) :::
Lemmy seems only support small image.Every phone screenshot i tried to upload fail to process. Had to resize this one. Also no gallery support yet. Glad anybody try to move here. She still pretty here though😘
I've had this photo saved on my phone for a while since I burst out laughing every time I see it. I think it's probably a translation error, yet I also can't figure out what "left-handed" could be replaced with where it would make sense.
