ongoing. shounen, action, modern day, romance

gero is an unsociable assassin, but this doesn’t stop him from wanting to find love! love the dynamic art style that really pumps up the action and the main character, who is equally ditzy as he is sincere. if u squint, u could mistake it for a harem, but i think it’s nice that he’s dating around before deciding on a relationship… it def doesn’t have a “harem” feel. but hey, i’m holding out for the gay ending. fast-paced and easy to read! 9/10

ongoing. isekai-ish, adventure, slice of life

a story about a nobleman adapting in a new world. lizel is the real pull here—charismatic and gentle and unexpectedly cunning. what sets this manga apart is that even though it’s funny and has a couple of running gags about the main character, lizel never loses this elegant, enigmatic aura that draws the cast of characters and the audience towards him. a lovely manga about the bonds of companionship (tho it def has gay undertones as well!) 8/10

4/5

pros/
+ really funny! i’d describe it more of a comedy than a romance
+ despite the comedy, there was actually a somewhat serious plot that revolved around class struggles… it wasn’t too melodramatic but it tugged at my heartstrings
+ mc is so charming and funny LOL everyone has a good chemistry tbh

cons/
+ the beginning was a little slow and the ending felt a little rushed! pacing was all over the place

ongoing. fantasy politics, war tactics, isekai

verna is a son of a count that has knowledge of the catastrophic future. this manga really excels at tone, worldbuilding, and politics. it’s hard to have nobles talk in that slick, roundabout way that belies their intentions, but this manga does it so well! the illustrations are gorgeous, the settings feel so lived-in, the fashion is cohesive and so is the architecture… a gritty isekai that’s easy on the eyes! 8/10

100 years after the sun’s disappearance, oxygen is becoming a precious resource as there becomes fewer and fewer plants to produce it. introducing: the brilliant and grotesque process of transfloration, which can turn humans into the precious plants needed for society to survive on earth. an insane and amped up story about capitalism, desperation, and what it means to sell your soul for some cash. i’m really enjoying the political b-plot too! 10/10

• Author: Takamatsu Misaki
• Genres: Slice Of Life / Romance / Seinen

ongoing. slice of life, psychological

a coming of age story about a girl who moves to the city. my favorite part of this manga is the depth of which these characters have their own interiority - the assumptions they make about each other, the way their internal logic manifests into their behavior, the insecurities they project onto each other. this is a manga obsessed with the ambiguity of human relationships, and it’s easy to binge the entire thing with how charismatic the cast is. 10/10

ongoing. adventure, fantasy, slice of life

after the evil demon is defeated and the adventure is over, the hero’s party parts ways. frieren, an elf, outlives them all, and retraces the steps of her old adventure in order to retrace the foreign emotions she feels towards her comrades. such a beautiful manga that has a lot to say about grief, the passage of time, and the connections that bind us… easily 10/10

• Genres: Adaptation / Adventure / Comedy / Demons / Drama / Fantasy / Historical / Magic / Reincarnation / Romance

5/5

pros/
+ an interesting setting that really grounds the usual reincarnation tropes!
+ gorgeous art and chara designs!
+ that toxic gay little twist is everything to me.
+ the pacing of the beginning is so good! really makes you want to see the charas reunite once more

cons/
+ 40 chapters in and they’re still only hinting at the bigger, grander story
+ pacing got kinda sluggish after the initial plot point got resolved

• Author: Yamada Kintetsu
• Genres: Comedy / Romance

complete! romance, slice of life, smut

a romance story between a soap-maker with a keen sense of smell and a woman overly conscious about her excessive sweating. it’s an intimate, nuanced, and sensual love story disguised by its initial silly meetcute gimmick… the characters are so fleshed out and their chemistry is lovely! honestly this had it all. introspection and sex. the mundane, transformative power of love. 9/10
