Ladies On Top Vol. 1 by NEJIGANAMETA

alysses's review

5.0

This was sooooo goood. If you've read enough mangas but have also done research into Asian culture, you'll know that it is a conservative culture. This series is trying to tackle some great/difficult topics and the mangaka is doing it with great care. FL finds that she must be in control to feel more secure in intimacy and ML is slowly realizing that he wants less control. Both are trying to figure out what that means while creating a safe space for both to figure it out together. It's also exploring other topics that go beyond the control aspect in intimacy but can be seen as adjacent to.

I loved it. I'm invested.

This! This was such a great read. Thank you to Izzy and Shae for the recommendation. I truly appreciate the discussion of relationship roles and dynamics in this manga. It’s definitely more of slow burn in terms of plot and character development but I think we’ll get more in the second volume. Ladies On Top is more than just a couple having sex, it’s a study in power dynamics when it comes to sex something that I hope more people please feel comfortable talking about. I’m dying to get my hands on volume 2 but I’ll wait patiently.

I thought it was going to be just spice with an ok plot. But the plot actually made me go all the way to 4 stars.


Want to read vol 2 asap!

Very cute!! I like how it explored the way they both feel about sex and relationships, and dealing with societal expectations. I’m looking forward to the next
