I did manage to get more red and blond daiso minky. So maybe I channel my fomo into making bootleg tsums for my ita bag😤🫡

I did somehow find one more pack of red minky, and one blond (!!!) so the rest are cut out. BUT, the pieces are so itty bitty they will surely be eaten by my machine and idk if I have it in me to hand sew all these before the new year… we shall see…

Yeah exactly!
I am trying to find out if they had other projects running at the same time. It just is such a stark change in pacing and plot that something had to have been happening…

Apparently there is a live action drama with several seasons. I’m eager to see it, hopefully it doesn’t have the same issues as the manga🤞🏼 overall it wasn’t horrible, just sad to see a such a strong start fizzle out

Ok so, finished this reread and the fact I couldn’t remember the ending was maybe an indicator of a flop. After about 1/3 in its just rushed and everywhere. Sad because the start was so strong. Won’t start on the ending just very… idk man something happened with the serialization schedule maybe?

Also I really need to know if she is in like a daddy long legs situation or just flat out loaded🤔 because the wardrobe and home decor is too cute for an unemployed orphan

A little under half way and it really…sort of went off the rails. All the love interests have gone full OOC and yet Maria will prevail despite it all lol

People are messy and showing the different levels of maturity in your formative years is rarely done well in shoujos imo. Its cheesy but sincere and still retains firm tella novella vibes while closely examining very real instances I think a lot of people can relate to.
