The Chinese version is kinda cute. The Japanese version just seems like bad gyaru.

I might still read the bad gyaru one if it goes off the fucking rails of sanity like https://mangadex.org/title/26208/gal-cleaning did though just to watch the author spiral in to madness.

From the first chapter the Chinese version seems better, it has a proper beginning and ending, while the Japanese one looks like a random piece of dialogue taken from the middle of a chapter.

Well the MC here has a way less punch-able face I guess.

ya know, this is something that always bothered me about japanese romance manga. Many of them front-load all of the stress of the relationship in the initial interaction. Confessing is treated like it's as important as proposing and it's usually made into their first interaction at that. They need to take notes from this, take it easy, don't make things more important than they are, ease into a relationship. Don't go in expecting the passion to last forever. When you calm down, I hope the one you see as your lover remains as a best friend.

хм

 

[MacMeaties]

Yup, this version is much better already.

Also what @Meridis said.

I guess only her fashion sense makes her a “yankee”, eh?
Considering she’s exceedingly well spoken and not confrontational.
I’m not sure if it’s a fair comparison but the chinese writing is much tighter and clearer than the japanese one. Though the titles are just as stupid (why can’t they ever just keep it simple?)

 

[Nermie01]

Now the chapter is broken because the different versions got merged.

 

[izayamikaelis]

if this were that kind of manga..... they would've skipped a few step and right into the action lol

 

[Psychronia]

She makes good points and seems like a nice girl so far.

 

[Tcof]

What a "Yankee" Girl again ?
and this is a rhetorical question

 

[HakuErdrikII]

@FlashGordan oh man that fucking thing still makes me laugh. holy crap. although I feel like I should probably feel bad for the author or something, he must not be well mentally

 

[Yourself]

We need more confession scenes like that

 

[Itsn]

holy shit I like her already.
