Honestly... Easily my all time favourite Shoujo manga. I'm partially biased since I adore the "Ottoman" (with perhaps influence from other Muslim Empires) setting!! Despite being hilarious and light hearted, it knows when to be serious! It's only 40ish chapters, but I think the fact that it didn't continue to the point of being forced is a part of it's charm!!

MAN!! I LOVE sherlock holmes, and shoujo!! Usotoki Rhetoric definitely mixed two of my favorite things and was literally such a fun read!! not heavy romance based, but the two main leads are adorable!!!
❥Supernatural Ability ❥Detective ❥Historical
【6/5】
Plays on tropes, and yet, manages to be completely unique, self-aware and charming! Some of the cutest leads I have ever seen, and the side characters are equally as loveable! If you like Skip to Loafer and Ore Monogatari, you'll probably like this!

This is honestly a classic among classics? HOW CAN YOU HAVE A CUTE SHOJO MANGA LIST AND NOT MENTION LAST GAME? Overall, though I read this a millennium ago, every manga panel is etched into my soul. If I had to sum it up in one sentence, academic rivals -> lovers.

❥Pretend Relationship ❥Misunderstood Character
【5/5】
I adore the concept of a female lead whose hearing is impaired! definitely a rare setting! Their relationship progresses so naturally, and both leads are adorable!! Been awhile since I read this one, but ITS A GEM!! I equally recommend the authors other works!
