════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Considerations ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ ● This is a spoiler-free review. ● 80+ in my rating means very good media. ● I've got to read this work by the explore section without knowing much about it. ● Whenever I say manga, I mean manga/manhwa/manhua.
════ ⋆★⋆ ════ The Story ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ The story is centered on Hee-won. A high school teacher who is frustrated with her love life and decides to go wild. Dresses up and go have drinks on a luxurious bar. She ends up having a one-night affair with a stranger. After that one-night affair, she discovers herself pregnant by someone that she doesn't even remember.
The story on Positively Yours is pretty good. Honestly, I was sold when they talked about someone being pregnant without even knowing who the father was. That's a very different approach from normal romantic mangas in which the story is "kawaii" with love developing in a more idealistic way. Which isn't the case for some people. In Positively Yours, you have an adult female freaking out because she's pregnant and needs to consider her life goals, work, and the prejudice that people will have towards her.
The story evolves amazingly well. It's not just the romance; there's a lot of drama, funny moments, and plot twists. I remember many moments when I just kept reading because I had to know what was going to happen. It's a really good story with a deserving ending.
════ ⋆★⋆ ════ The Art Style ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ The art style is pretty good. The character designs are well made. There are different heights, traits, and hairstyles that you can identify and recognize in each one. It's not the same blend of traits.
I'm actively trying to get images that won't spoil the story with anything involving any relationship, but I can tell you that backgrounds and even minor stuff are really nice. There's nothing that looks really bad in this department.
════ ⋆★⋆ ════ The Characters ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ There are a good number of characters in this manga; two main characters and their respective friends, family, coworkers, and the list goes on. I feel like each one is kind of unique, as there are a lot of different characters with different backgrounds. You don't get a lot of depth in the story of each one, but it's not as if it lacks. The information that we are given is enough to understand each point of view.
In the main character department, I can't complain either. Both are great. Their development is amazing to watch, and as the chapters progress, you start to see how their mentality is changing and maturing as recent parents.
════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Conclusion ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ If you're like me, you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you don't want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point:
Read it. Positively Yours seems to have everything that a mature audience might find interesting, such as marriage without love, being an unplanned pregnancy, and so on. The art, story, and development are all great, so there's nothing to really complain about.
