I absolutely adore everything Harlequin Manga has put out recently and About Last Night was no different. These mangas take no time at all to read and I highly recommend them.

I am so excited to see a lot more of these Harlequin romance manga comics being released. I love them. They give me a quick, enjoyable, romantic read when I am short on time. And on top of that, it's a taster for the full story and sometimes I go back and get the book to read all the details which sometimes the manga misses. Nonetheless, thoroughly enjoyable. Apologies for the repeat review, but I tend to feel the same about almost all the books.

Well, what is the moral of the story? You do not sex your boss, run away and prego with his child!

Shane is a rich playboy...an alpha male that makes most girl crawl over his bed and his...money! Cindy his secretary is an exception but she lets herself drawn in Shane's charms and ends up in his bed the next morning. Feeling ashamed, she decides to runaway. Shane who wakes up in the morning does not remember who he slept with and he was surprise when he realise that one he slept with was Cindy. What happen when Shane realises that Cindy also prego with his child? Hmmmm, that's something you need to read your own tho!

The artwork is good tho..not so impressive but it's good and beautiful even some expressions seem a bit strange to my gusto! But the story illustrated there is beautifully portrayed!

The art was not impressive but some of the expressions were hilarious. Story was good but towards the end felt a little hurried.

Lindy ends up in her boss' bed, but the next day he doesn't remember a thing!

There some scenes that were confusing and I wasn't sure what was happening at times. This one was an okay read.

Shane is the son of a tv preacher who leads his own life away from his father’s teachings. One night he even ends up in bed with Lindy, his secretary, and can’t even remember it in the morning! Too bad the girl is now pregnant and wants nothing to do with a wreck of a father for her child. However, Shane does not give up and tries to change his way for the child… or is it just for the child? An inspirational romance with an unconventional art that is a pleasure to read.

I received this manga from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

This one sounds hilarious as hell, a girl who had hot sex with her boss... but her boss doesn't remember it and even recruits her to find her. *snorts* I also quite like the cover, though the art isn't my cup of tea. But then again, I had that once before and then I loved the art inside. So who knows.

Oh my, I wasn't happy that she ran away, but I guess her emotions took over. I would have loved to see the evening, we only see the aftermath and one panel of sex, but I guess this works as well. AH, he is another one of those playboys? Why do Harlequin Manga always love those so much?
Just a few pages later and we found out that the two of them got drunk, or well, Shane got so shitfaced that I can kind of imagine that he doesn't know what happened/who he fucked with. :P

Not sure how I felt that she only took the job so she would be noticed by the grandfather, at least I am happy she didn't mean to have sex with him to get higher up.

Awwwwwwkkwwwwwarrrddd! She was planning to talk to him about last night/why she ran away, and here is her boss: "Could you look into who I spent last night with?"

Wow, the dude has some issues. She doesn't want to (for obvious reasons), and tells him that he should do things on his own, come on he is 25 year old. He immediately assumes she is abandoning him? Whut? I guess his parents really did a crappy job at loving him/caring for him if he acts like this. Or maybe he is so used to getting what he wants that he is surprised that anyone would say no to him.

Haha, the grandfather is onto what these two did last night. And he is apparently not even that surprised that his grandson doesn't know what happened. :P

<spoiler>URGHHHHHHG. Really? What the hell? I am sorry, but I so tired of this plot device. Can't you guys just fuck with protection? Seriously, it annoys me greatly. Oh, yes, let's have a one-night stand. Teeehheeeee I am pregnant because we were too dumb to understand to use a condom or get the pill or whatever. Oh good grief. What the fuck is wrong with sex education in the land of Harlequin Manga?
WOW, WOW, hold on, granddad that is not your place to tell Shane that. I hate that he is the one to tell him and to just spoil it like that. Also did he tell the press about it? Since only Tina (best friend of Lindy), grandpa, and Shane know about it. </spoiler>
I am already not happy with this story, and still need around 90 pages. :|

I did think Shane was overreacting. I get that he doesn't want Lindy to go, but I didn't like the drama he made out of it. Dude, reallY? You don't even remember you had sex with her.

Dude, really? Do you think she wants to get married to you? "I decided a long time ago that I would never enter a loveless marriage." Oh, ouch.

*sighs*More plot conveniences and I was just rolling my eyes. He was so adamant on not doing THAT and here he is doing just THAT. I get that he wants to proof that he is capable (no he isn't) to Lindy, but this is not the way.

I am getting tired of nosy grandpa. It was cute at first, but now? It just annoys me. Can that man find a hobby? Get a life?

*sighs* Am I supposed to swoon right now? Sorry, I just don't feel that it was the right time for this action. She was so against it all, and now she is there? *sighs* But sure, I am happy that they had THE TALK. Finally. Though then it ended with that and that made me so unhappy. You didn't want to enter a loveless marriage? The fuck woman? Is pregnancy messing with your head?

Oh, I am glad that we get the mom's POV on why Shane was neglected. It made several things more clear, and I am also not that pissed at his parents. They tried, but they just went a bit too far and then it was too late.

Ah, look, and there is the drama! Right on time. Holy hell though, I hadn't expected it to go that far. :(

Aww, that is so sweet of Shane's parents to tell him that. I hope that they can make some happy memories now.

Though sorry, I just didn't feel Shane's confessions when he was beside her bed. It felt a bit too convenient. All the time he didn't know/understand/couldn't see it and BOOM, she is there, she might not do much more, and you suddenly love her? So if she hadn't had that happening you wouldn't have found it out? Wow. :|

And the ending? It was just so rushed. I mean, she was still in the bed, not doing too well, and boom next page baby is getting blessed by Shane's dad and the story is over. What? -1 star for that.

The art? Yeah, I mostly didn't like it. The expressions were often very absurd, and while it works at times, at other times it just didn't feel like the right time for those expressions. These expressions work better in a comedy, but not much in a romance. At least in my opinion.

So yeah, this was a disappointment.

This is an interesting story about a young woman who mistakenly has a one night stand with her boss.

Shane is a man who is distanced from his family. He is also a playboy and very reliant on Cindy who is his star employee. Shane doesn't remember who he slept with and he is surprised and dismayed when he realises it was Cindy. He is also surprised and dismayed when Cindy is headhunted by his granfather to work in the family firm. When he realises Cindy is pregnant with his child he sets out to win her back.

This was an entertaining manga romance with great artwork. It is a story with a strong family theme. Not one of my favourites but still very enjoyable.
