Enamoraos, falsos ángeles, vol. 5

恋せよまやかし天使ども [Koiseyo Mayakashi Tenshidomo] #5

by Coco Uzuki

Otogi Katsura ha vivido siempre interpretando el papel de la chica buena y perfecta, tratando de no ir en contra de la imagen que todas las personas de su alrededor tienen de ella. Debido a esta forma falsa suya de ser, uno de los apodos que se ha ganado entre sus compañeros de instituto es el de “Lady Cupido”. Sin embargo, un día, el también chico perfecto Toki Ninomae descubre su verdadero yo, aquel que con tanto esfuerzo ha estado escondiendo. Por suerte para ella, Toki Ninomae guarda exactamente el mismo secreto: una personalidad oscura y mordaz. No obstante, eso no es suficiente para que Otogi vea correspondidos sus sentimientos. ¡Aun así, ella decide no tirar la toalla aún! Si tan solo Rai Futagami no se hubiera enamorado de ella... ¡¿Cómo diablos evolucionará este triángulo amoroso ahora que Ninomae se ha dado cuenta de que sí tiene sentimientos por Otogi?!

Friend- You're drooling.
Me- Hear me out, the artstyle for this thin-
Friend- *duct tapes me* you need help atp man...

A really fun lighthearted I'M RAGING RIPPING MY HAIR OUT AT THE ANGST OF IT ALL GRAHHHHHH I'M IRE FURY IS ME romcom 💕💕🤭🤭

I loved the concept of hidden identities at this point. I really liked the aspect that they have sides they can't show anyone, even though in case of this manga it's a bit tame cuz it's not something super duper scandalous or anything like that. And I absolutely adore the highschool setting I love high school settings sm (even though I could burn my own school with a smile on my face *jkjk* I don't condone arson kids).

But yeah it's a really light refreshing read THE YEARNING THE MISUNDERSTANDING MAKE IT STOP MAKE.IT.STOP. *cuts out my eyelids to stop the eye twitching*

Otogi isn't your average high school girl. She's the ✨madonna✨. She's got the face card thats paying real bills. But beneath that sugary gorgeous surface she's got a badass cool side she can't show anyone (why. I don't know.) but i ABSOLUTELY ADORED how narcissistic she is like okwy NARCISSUS
Toki isn't your average high school dude either. He's also got that premium face card with an unlimited limit. And he's also got a weird kooky side he can't show anyone (why. Idk).

And when they both realize they aren't that different after all they make you wanna say FALL IN LOVE YOU FALSE ANGELS.

Now exhibiting ✨issues✨
Take 1- I really couldn't understand why they can't show their kooky b sides too anyone. I don't think there is a good enough reason to hide it.
Take 2- sometimes it seemed like their only personality trait is how pretty they are ...and it kinda put me off...
Take 3- this is a major thing now. WHY DIDNT HER MOTHER MIND AT ALL SHE'S GOING TO MEET A GUY SO LATE. C'MON WE'RE ASIANS AIN'T NO MOM BEING THAT NICE TO USSSS. and that's why ig this is in the fiction genre lmao

✨Honorary mention to Beni-chan for being a badass self aware girly who takes no shit I love her sm✨

But despite everything I still had an absolute blast with it. Really fun!

another fantastic volume! in volume 5, otogi, ninomae, futagami, momoi and gen all head to a cabin for a few days during summer vacation; each person has their own hidden agenda…

ikkoku. i need you to Lock In. i know how down bad you are but you are FUMBLING THE BAG. also love the side story we are getting idk if its going to work out realistically, but glad to see beni get some attention (esp since shes forcing ikkoku to make a move - she is ride or DIE for her girlie). and now i have to WAIT BC THAT CLIFFHANGER BRO

WHY WOULD YOU END IT LIKE THIS?!!? I NEED MORE!!!!!

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

As I say every time, I will read this whole thing just because the art is so, so good. It makes manga better just by existing, seriously. The linework is like nothing else and that goes for even things as innocuous as the chibis.

I liked the shift to the summer months and leaving behind the school setting. It’s an excellent excuse for the story to drop its premise, especially when Otogi’s best friend, Beni, accidentally learns Toki’s true self.

Instead, the would-be rival, Rai, winds up thrown together with the rest of them as we get our court-mandated beach trip, complete with fancy summer cottage. Although this one is different than usual in some key ways.

For one, the boys form the great bulk of the fan service - the mangaka is absolutely down to draw abs - which is an amusing touch. That said, Otogi’s fantastic one piece is rendered in loving detail as well, showing that it doesn’t always need to be bikinis (although Beni has that covered).

What I really enjoyed here is that this cramped conglomerate all has something to do. Rai, for starters, is desperate to make himself an ideal guy for Otogi, incredibly obvious signals be damned.

Otogi and Toki are struggling with their communication; Toki seriously regrets his rejection of Otogi, while she is using the rejection to move forward and make herself a stronger person. Except Toki is REALLY regretting it.

I won’t say this uses the best visual metaphors I’ve seen, but the fact that it’s using symbolism at all is kind of a welcome change from all the usual straightforward stuff we see.

And I like a story about teenagers who are believably dumb about certain things. Three people in a love triangle playing a secret confession game meant to be played in large group is just asking for trouble, yet I can totally see it happening. And going about as well as it does here.

Then there’s Beni, who is secretly the reason I liked this volume so much. Beni comes off as so much more mature than the others, which is why it isn’t surprising that sparks suddenly start flying between her and the much older Gen.

Or do they? The whole thing feels a lot like a schoolgirl crush that got out of hand when somebody took a bunch of common ground and some nice gestures and then ran away with their feelings about the person who did it.

It isn’t that we haven’t seen May-December romances in manga before, just that this seems a lot more like somebody having their heart broken because they saw a friendship the wrong way. Just showing that the most mature person can be totally not that if the scenario is right.

So, a good volume. It’s not quite enough to make me re-read the others to see if I was being too harsh, but this definitely lands way better than I recall the first four doing and I’m glad it’s not just great art this time.

4 stars - delicious art, some good character building, and a romance that I am coming around on. Definitely my favourite volume so far.

NO MORE WAITING. Just do something, Ikkoku!!!!! But now after that ending, who knows?! He will probably be discouraged.

DIOS, COMO SE HA QUEDADO, UF.

Madre mía, Ninomae, como no espabiles, macho... Pfff.
Es una historia increíble esta 🩷

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume was really good. Lots of longing glances and feelings. Good friendships and new potential! The art is nice as always. We start with two people who want to talk to each other but don't want to seem silly taking the plunge. Then we get a friends trip that expands on feelings, new feelings bud, and friendships grow. Great volume. This shoujo romance is really romancing.

I really can’t bring myself to hate anyone in this manga. At the end of the day, they are all high school students just trying to be the best version and realest version of themselves and I can’t fault them for any of their actions no matter how annoying I find them😭.
Katsura and Ikkoku’s relationship really took a nosedive in this volume. I started off so cute with them texting back and forth and them him inviting he to his beach house. But then BENI JUST HAD TO INVITE FUTAGAMI AND RUIN THE VIBES. I mean I get why she invited him, getting rud of the doubt and the love triangle once and for all or what not, but I just don’t think it was the right thing to do just now😭😭 I mean Futagami, what can I say tbh? I thought he gave up but evidently he did not lol. I commend him for trying though. He is just a boy trying to navigate his first love.
Katsura had me when she started indulging Futagami on her love somehow making her lose sight on herself. That shit was too real. Omg and Ikkoku😭 HE PRESSED THE YES BUTTON😭😭😭 (iykyk). Also sidenote, I can’t believe beni and now futagami know their other side. I really thought they’d keep that reveal for later. Oh and another thing WTF IS THE PLOTLINE OF BENI GAINING A CRUSH ON GEN???!!! WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY? IF THEY WANTED A LOVE PLOT FOR BENI OTORI WAS RIGHT THERE AND HE AT LEAST IS AGE APPROPRIATE TFFFF. Any rant over
I’m not looking forward to reading on only cause of how this volume ended but whatever Ill get over it lol.

BENI LA MUJER QUE ERES!! una mastermind por planear todo eso únicamente para poner celoso a ikkoku y que por fin tenga los huevos de confesarse y valore a Otagi AMO AQUÍ!!!

Me llegó mucho al corazón cuando ikkoku le pidió a la mamá de Otagi que confiara en él porque se comprometía de corazón a cuidarla bien awww

Beni y Otagi como amigas son lo mejor del mundo!! LAS AMO 🫶🏻

DIOS NO PUEDO CREER QUE SOLO HAYAN 22 CAPS!? QUÉ HAGO MATARME y es que este volumen solo llega hasta el 20 me imagino… Y EL CLIFFHANGER CON EL QUE DEJARON EL 22 BASTAAAA POR FIN EL WEY SE CONFESÓ NECESITO SABER CUANDO ACTUALIZAN YA MISMO

5 stars. This is just my favorite. The art, the story that makes my heart skip a beat, and the fashion. I love it all. The small moments of indecision or thoughts are the best.

"Quando ti innamori, a volte i tuoi sentimenti prendono il sopravvento e non riesci più a mantenere i tuoi principi. Futagami, tu hai molta esperienza in campo romantico. Anche a te succede di sentirti così? È così anche per gli altri? Oppure sono solo io? A volte ho paura di perdere di vista la versione di me che voglio essere."

Certi finali, soprattutto quando non si sa bene quando uscirà il volume successivo, dovrebbero essere illegali 😭
La tranquilla estate di Otogi a casa della sua nonna, segnata dal ritmo dei messaggi che lei e Toki si scambiano, prende una piega piuttosto movimentata quando il ragazzo e Gen la invitano per una gita di tre giorni. Per sicurezza la mamma di Otogi propone di portarsi dietro la migliore amica della figlia. Fin qui tutto bene. Se non fosse che, poco convinta dall'atteggiamento di Toki e dal modo in cui ha rifiutato la dichiarazione di Otogi, Benio si fa venire la "grande" idea di portarsi dietro l'elemento di disturbo, Futagami.
La gita sembra partire bene: Toki non ha alcuna intenzione di nascondere certe parti del suo carattere e del suo aspetto che fino a quel momento conoscevano solo Otogi e Gen. E agli occhi di tutti i presenti, i sentimenti dei due protagonisti diventano piuttosto chiari. Le cose si complicano il secondo giorno, quando, per via di uno stupido gioco, Otogi si sente nuovamente rifiutata di Toki. E il volume si chiude prima che i due possano chiarirsi, visto che il ragazzo esce per aiutare Benio e Gen, mentre Otogi rimane in casa con Futagami nel bel mezzo di un black out...e Rai ascolta i dubbi della protagonista e fa la sua mossa. E il volume finisce così 🫣 io sono sconvolta 😱

Qui urge avere tra le mani il volume sei, un po' perché voglio capire cosa passa per la testa di Toki (qui tutto è dal punto di vista di Otogi, però anche i sentimenti del ragazzo mi sembrano abbastanza chiari), e un po' perché vorrei saperne di più sulla figura di Benio e sul tipo di attenzione che sta rivolgendo verso Gen (che sarà pure un ex teppista, ma si sta dimostrando una persona responsabile, con l'occhio lungo per quanto riguarda tutto il triangolo Otogi/Toki/Futagami, anche se si porta dietro anche lui dei lati segreti).
Alla fine di questo quinto volume, la situazione è la seguente: Otogi è chiaramente innamorata, al punto che ogni tanto questa cosa finisce per offuscare il suo giudizio e prendere il sopravvento su tutto. Futagami sa bene di non essere l'oggetto del desiderio della ragazza, ma non ha alcuna intenzione di tirarsi indietro. E poi c'è Toki, un bel mistero, anche perché lancia messaggi contrastanti alla povera Otogi - nel sesto volume spero di vedere un confronto tra i due e spero che Toki saprà dare voce ai suoi veri sentimenti. Nel mentre non ci resta che attendere fiduciosi 😮‍💨😩

Đôi điều về Beni~

Là bạn thân nhất của Otogi, Beni cũng xinh xắn dễ thương nhưng ẻm lại chẳng hề ngây thơ như Otogi. Ngược lại, Beni vô cùng sắc sảo và nhạy bén, ẻm phát hiện ra bí mật của Ikkoku, biết được tình cảm của Futagami với Otogi, và rồi tranh thủ tạo tình huống để “test” Ikkoku xem có xứng đáng với Otogi - người bạn thân thiết đáng trân trọng nhất của ẻm không.

Nếu Otogi luôn toả sáng rực rỡ bùng lên như pháo hoa thu hút mọi ánh nhìn, thì Beni lại cháy đều như than hồng, bình ổn, không rực rỡ nhưng càng ở gần thì sẽ càng thấy ấm áp.

Đặc biệt, cô nàng Beni dù có vẻ lạnh lùng, thờ ơ với đủ “mối” xung quanh, ấy vậy mà tác giả cho ẻm một cái “love-line” không ngờ luôn.

Càng đọc bộ này càng thấy nhân vật nào cũng đáng yêu vô cùng 🥺

Officially finished before volume 6 releases in the US next year, (and hopefully more volumes after?!) I’m so sad thinking we have to wait that long but I’m so glad I discovered this incredible manga! As the story progresses, you start rooting for other characters to get together and now I have this massive attachment to all these characters. ❤️ I even feel like Otogi’s narcissism is fading just a little lol! 10/10 as always, loved the summer vibes in this one and that I physically own all these. they’re something you’ll want to physically own. Cannot recommend this series enough.

Empecé a leer el manga el año pasado y la verdad no me encantó. El arte es PRECIOSO pero fuera de eso sentí que no tenía sustancia.
Hoy, sin querer, me quise poner al día y DIOS COMO AMÉ ESTE VOLUMEN. Sigo pensando que le hace falta sustancia y claro que tiene sus (bastantes) desperfecto pero vaya que la cosa está mejorando.
Le tengo mucho cariño a Katsura, no me he topado con suficientes protagonistas de shoujosei que sean tan atrevidas y seguras de si mismas como ella.

Las vacaciones han comenzado y a pesar de la distancia Toki y Katsura comienzan un intercambio de mensajes que emociona a Katsura.

Un viaje inesperado reúne a Katsura y Toki, sin embargo también nos encontramos a Futagami, será que las cosas se complican entre estos tres?

Soy sincera me está gustando mucho la historia, y el dibujo es súper lindo así que es un punto extra para seguir la historia.

OMG I NEED MORE!!

okay first of all i really love the FL. She is so cool and strong. The ML also so cute like he looks like a baddie but he just don’t actually know love and have to do the love test to check what feeling he has lolll All characters are so beautiful. But in this volume, i wanna know why the 2nd ML pressed NO on that question. And why the best friend also bring him along??

[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ich mag Rai nicht. Benis Vorschlag fand ich zwar auch etwas komisch, aber sie hatte eine Intention. Aber Rai? Zu lügen, obwohl er weiß, dass Otogi dadurch verletzt sein wird bzw. das Falsche denkt, und das dann ausnutzen? Geht einfach zu weit. Und Toki ist eigentlich so cute, weil er unsicher ist. Hoffe, dass sich das nicht noch länger zieht, sondern die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt.

[Yeon]

Mình đã chờ đợi một mùa hè sôi động và những màn combat rực lửa từ hai chàng Toki và Futagami, nhưng hoá ra không khí truyện tập 5 lại trầm trầm buồn buồn buồn thế nào ấy🥺Nhưng càng đọc mình càng thích Futagami hơn, yêu cái sự thẳng thắn và cố gắng thay đổi vì cô gái mình thích của ẻm quá🥺
