My Mother Got Married By Contract

🏅

Imagine: me stocking up on 60 pounds of plastic explosive. Then shoving them up your a**. And then igniting them. KABOOM. That's it. That's this manga's art. This is what you will experience. 

An explosion of color, a detonation of style, a shimmering and extravagant showcase of theatrics. It's not just the mere graphics, it's the way the characters pose. The facial expressions. The almost art nouveau art style. Simply unique, and incredible too. 

You might say this has all the signs of vapid eye candy. And you'd be wrong. No shock there, you always are. Really, the writing is so attentive to the characters' inner worlds, and does a majestic job at handling its themes. That is, family, love, affection, growth. Lyrica is the definition of a cute girlie cinnamon roll. I should find her annoying, and instead I would give my life for her. But the entire side cast has incredibly delicate arcs, from redemption to healing out of loss and betrayal, honestly there is nothing to say. The children will not understand, but people are capable of growing. Of changing. The entire thesis statement of the plot is this: things CAN get better, if you put in the work to redeem yourself. Not overnight. But they can. 

Not to mention, the use of a third party regression is quite original. Mom regressed, but Lyrica lived her he**. Lyrica doesn't remember. Lyrica deserves better, and everybody actually does. So let's make this work.

I just wish you could enjoy both the art and the writing fully, with a perfect scanlation. It's not because I like you. No, normally I would in fact wish the worst upon you and your ilk. But in this case, the manga is so high quality that it's a pity if the image quality or the translation aren't up to it. Thankfully, if you search outside, you will definitely find a better upload. I reccomend it.

I'm awarding it a GAI (Grand Accolade of Ivern™️). Enough said.

typical rofan child raising x typical rofan contract marriage plot
interesting premise esp since i've never seen a romance manhwa from the daughters perspective
if u don't want cliche plot lines maybe don't read this? but otherwise it's pretty good
also, one of the other reviews implies that the emperor is the mcs father and abandoned them but its not true bc they have no blood relation
overall it's a pretty typical romance/child raising and the art is not bad

I do not recommend

Greattttt
