straightie hidden gems!!!only pretty artstyles and best finds

This list features stories from a wide variety of genres. There are plenty of hidden gems scattered throughout, so you’re bound to find a few that catch your eye no matter your tastes!!

BUTT, the standout factor for any manga I add to this list
is strong, well-written characters. Surface-level romance or flat side characters are an instant turn-off for me. I want stories that show genuine care in their writing. Where every character, even the secondary ones, feels thoughtfully developed.

ENJOY

This story is truly one of a kind. every single panel shines. The characterization, the plot, the humor, the relationships. everything is just so well done. Spirit Fingers is my forever comfort read 。:゚(;´∩`;)゚:。 It beautifully captures young love, friendship, messy families, chasing your passions, and learning to love yourself. The growth each character goes through is so heartwarming. • ‿ ,• I could reread this a hundred times and still fall just as hard.

Please feel free to ask questions about any of the manga on this list!!!! seriously, I would love it! I’m a massive ranter at heart, and there’s just never enough room in the review section to say everything I want to say. Cutting my thoughts down to a few lines is honestly PAINFUL sometimes, because I have so much bursting love for these stories and characters, and I always want to scream about them in full detail. If there’s a series you’re curious about, something in a review that stood out to you, or even if you just want to chat about a story we both love. I would be absolutely overjoyed to talk.
