#because I NEED a squishy manjuu Maxi+Riftan in my life ;A;

Under the Oak Tree

Kickstarted my whole manhwa obsession. Damn ads really do work. Good job I guess, Manta Comics marketing team. Also, I’ve read way way far into the novel so my hype for this series is super high even though the manhwa is literally still at the very beginning. I’ve even read most of the extra prequel novel from the ML’s POV

Summary I know too much of the storyline it’s hard to summarise this one but OMG it’s not an isekai (for once). The romance is the main selling point but honestly the plot, especially the battles in the future are really interesting.  So our sweet summer child Maxi has a trash family who kept her locked away due to her stuttering and married her off to a knight so that he could fight the war for their family. And after 3 years they finally reunite. Ya boy looks scary but is just a big simp for Maxi. Sadly, instead of being able to live happily ever after, there’s a lot of fighting because monsters exist and lots of trash people do a lot of trash things. 

Tropes   - seggs   - just throw this whole family away   - g*ddamn is there a lot of war/fighting   - this art is too beautiful my eyeballs are not worthy   - this is just an arranged marriage he/she would never love me

FL - Maximillian Calypse

- LOOK AT MY BABY GETTING HAPPIER THE LONGER SHE’S WITH HER MAN ilu my precious - sweet summer child - protecc the cinnamon roll - you go girl don’t let your disability hold you back - hair so long I don’t know how she keeps it tangle-free - “I am not worthy of my Lord I need to be useful” baby no

ML - Riftan Calypse

- i’m sorry he mostly smiles when he nekkid - the *knight* from the North with the furry blue cloak - yes my dear I’ve loved you since before you even remember - him eyes glow when him ANGRY - sorry I just like seeing him COVERED IN BLOOD - I know warriors are stronk and muscular but sometimes their size difference is a bit too much Lol - put him in horny jail - “I am not worthy of my Lady I need to give her more stuff” baby no

Rating: Loved this so much I spent real life money it’s the whole reason I started paying for a Manta Comics monthly subscription. Status (as of 4 June 2022) It’s literally just getting started. Honestly right now I would recommend either stopping at the end of S1 or waiting til it gets to about 60-80 episodes before reading. Because there’s going to be SO MUCH in the future.
