Promise Cinderella

[redsox02]

mL has some extremely massive issues and the way he show interest or help is borderline abuse. Why am i reading this

 

[snugglepuss]

Holy shit if this isn't the most pleasant surprise of a read
Thank you all for translating this , it is interesting to say the least.

Few weeks ago it shocked me to find the delinquent tag here since other sites don't have this kinda tag lol but after thinking bout how harsh and offensive the ml and fml are then i realise yeah they're delinquents after all 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok, everyone stop complaining and read upto chapter 9 and you'll know how much of a different character the male lead actually is. He is not your typical good guy macho man you usually see in your typical stupid Shoujo series. There's a reason why the female lead is so badass here.

It's good. Interesting. It has lessons

@siddj

It’s only translated to chp7 is tehre any other site which has up to 9 cause I fucking lI be this manga?

 

[Dilluazoldyck]

the reason why this is not "the typical stupid shoujo manga" is because promise cinderella is NOT a shoujo. Its a seinen. I remember pc got an award as the best seinen manga.

@Jackone if you're looking for the english scanlation you'll only find it here lol. I'll update the next chapter in few days.

i absolutely love the plot and artwork, im always excited looking forward to the next chapters!!! one thing im absolutely iffy on is the age gap but in a way, both leads seem to have the same “mental” age although female lead is wiser. i feel sad for her situation and its really interesting how’ll it’ll play out. please give this a read!!

Someone help me out on this one:

I have no idea what demographic this manga was run for and the more I look, the less I understand. MangaUpdates says it's a shounen manga, which coincides with listings on Kinokuniya for its tankoubons including the label "Ura Shounen Sunday Comics" in its titles. However, it in fact used to be labeled as a shoujo on MangaUpdates until at least this June, and certain Southeast Asia retailers (as well as Comikey, who digitally distributes the English version) do likewise*. Furthermore, Bookwalker reports that both the main manga and omake volume were published under the "Ura Sunday Jyoshibu" imprint, "Jyoshibu" being "girls' club"-- and I doubt that would be the name of an imprint targeted towards young men.

...meanwhile, someone else in this thread mentioned that it was actually a seinen manga, having won an award for that editorial category. I couldn't find anything about winning an award (most I've got is ANN reporting that it ranked within the top 20 of the Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards), but the raws don't regularly use furigana on its kanji (this is usually the fundamental distinction of seinen and josei manga versus shounen and shoujo manga, the latter of which normally use furigana on all kanji). I'd be inclined-- based on that alone-- to believe that it's at minimum marketed to older audiences (i.e. it's either seinen or josei) rather than younger (i.e. shounen or shoujo).

In the first place, it was initially digitally published in Ura Sunday (if you check MangaUpdates, it separately lists "Ura Sunday" and "MangaONE", but apparently MangaOne is just the mobile app version of Ura Sunday). I don't think digital manga sites use demographic categories like physical manga magazines do. At least, Ura Sunday doesn't have any such indicator that I saw on the comic's page.

*There's a possibility that these parties are appropriating the language of these demographic categories (shounen /shoujo /seinen /josei) while employing them in a way different from the publisher's intentions-- in contrast to American publishers of manga, who instead affix age ratings.

Few weeks ago it shocked me to find the delinquent tag here since other sites don't have this kinda tag lol but after thinking bout how harsh and offensive the ml and fml are then i realise yeah they're delinquents after all 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Late, and I know you were one of the first to scanlate this manga (good on you by the way), but the manga starts off with Hayame reminiscing on how she ended up in juvie when she was a teenager.

Hi hi, just your friendly neighbourhood tag wrangler/contributor here leaving a note for future editors: please keep this work labelled as shoujo. Full explanation can be found in this thread, and MangaUpdates has been updated (and locked) to reflect this as well. @Eighty-six - thanks for the intital search and detective work and for piquing my interest!

Really regret reading this all the way through. The budding romance was fine at first, but it steers hard into a boring SoL midway through, and by the time the romance picks up again, I was bored to tears already and uninvested in their relationship. A few emotional moments here and there weren't enough to salvage the downturn in the latter half of this manga.
