Someoneyoudunno's Questions (38)

depends! what anime does your friend watch? better to start from similar genre first

She watches literally everything. She has watched more than 100+ animes of different genres I think. She watched all the popular ones like AOT, your lie on April, takopi's original sin but she doesn't like to watch animes that have 100+ episodes. She also doesn't like to read much and says that she wouldn't ever want to check out mangas or manhwas she doesn't want to read so I want recommend her a good story to change her perception about mangas/manhwas...I think she prefers animes that are a bit emotional, other than that she has watched action, mystery, psychological, shoujo (and literally every other genres)...

Oh I thik she also likes romance a lot

Wouldn’t it be easier/better to recommend mangas from anime she’s already watched?

But here are a few recs:

Fruits Basket
Beauty Pop
Full Metal Alchemist
A man and his cat (Ojisama to neko)
Natsume’s book of friends (Natsume Yuujincho)

I don't think she would like to reread things she already watched before and she already watched fruit basket and Fullmetal alchemist. The others are really good tho so I'll recommend the others to her since those are all only available in mangas. Thank you for your recommendations! I wanted to recommend something like The horizon tho (which in my opinion is one of the best things I've read. It changed the way I think and made me ponder a lot in many of the chapters. It was a masterpiece.)

Fair enough, but a lot of time the anime and manga aren’t exactly a 1-1, so even if you’ve read/watched one, there may be things missing/ different from both versions.

For example the original anime adaptations of Fruits Basket and Fullmetal Alchemist are very different from the manga.

I’ve never heard of The Horizon so I can’t say one way or another.

Hopefully you find something she’ll like.

A ghostly song (horror)
Oh dangun (action, romance its so good)
Paradise on earth (horror mystery)
White blood (action romance)
Awesome (romance, comedy)

10 years that i loved you the most.

I read that already

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/on_the_lake_where_the_waves_reach/

Spinach Bouquet had me sobbing. And Our Youth.

I already read those and they had me sobbing too

That's a new one that I didn’t read...thanks for your recommendations!

Have you read any of these? (≧∀≦)

This was sooo good! It made me cry in the last chapters. I absolutely loved how moving it was...It was beautiful! :')
Thank you for your recommendation!

Thanks for your recommendations! I'll check them out!

I’m glad!!!! Yw :3

who hurt you?

If you any alternative let me know pls

Mo Dao Zu Shi (both manhua and novel) will always be the best in my heart. I don't think I have ever been that invested in any other story of any kind

Stranger
Leo
Heaven officials blessing

Painter behind the curtains

I tried reading that but I had time understanding many things so I have up

*hard time understanding so I gave up

Never heard of Stranger and Leo. Seems interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

little mushroom. It won an award for best sci-fi so that speaks for itself. but aside from that maybe its the genuine and raw portrayal of humanity from the lenses of a non human character. its not just a love story of a mushroom and a judge, but also a love letter to humanity at its core. thats the best feeling i can describe reading little mushroom.

additionally, global examination. this novel was the reason i got into thriller/survival game genres in the first place. just the concept of your path being so intertwined with somebody else that u find yourself meeting with them in time… again and again and again— not despite but amidst everything (iykyk)

I was gonna say the sameeee

I remember reading half of it a long time ago and then stopped (judging by the cover). Maybe I should pick it up and read it again.

I loved global examination a lot. I loved everything about it. Little Mushroom was depressing to read but It was still a really good read. The art was absolutely beautiful and it was really unique so I understand what you mean

Rainbow city novel
Little mushroom is good too but it’s more on the emotional side whereas rainbow city has to do with secret ploys in the government, and the corruption of every side of humanity

Lost in the Cloud.

The portrayal of trauma and realism and finding a solace ... it was absolute balance. I love the imperfections and how it was handled.

Love tractor (I don't have any grandiose reason, but I really just want someone like the uke in my life)

Rainbow city seems really good. It's in my "want to read" section because I want to read it completed (I have read a little bit of it and I loved it!) The main characters also remind me of Dokja and Joonghyuk? Reading your comment solidified why it's one of the best so I understand what you mean

It's one of the highly rated manhwa here, so I went to read it. Sadly I couldn't like cirrus. He felt annoying to me (because of the blackmailing). So I dropped it really early. I understand why everyone likes it tho. Maybe I should've read the whole thing just to see how it goes but reading it made me feel anxious.

He's one of the nicest, kindest and sweetest uke ever. So I agree with you. I also loved him

Sangyang:The Wanderer
Little mushroom novel
Here U Are
Leo
Until I meet my husband

You are gonna get hooked on both of them . They are best . Stranger recently completed too. You are welcome (▰˘◡˘▰)

It's a Peak one among BL , especially historical. Always the best

Stigmata. Its like if game of thrones was actually good (minus the dragons and incest). I love the intricacies of the plot and all of the characters. I also love the heavy religious symbolism and themes. Its so goated I want to see it animated someday.

Murderer llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation. It starts off unique and creepy but it reveals itself to be a very emotional love story. I think the ending and flashbacks are a bit rushed in the manhwa tbh, so I'd recommend reading the novel instead.

MADK. I don't really consider this a bl tbh because it feels more just like a tale of obsession rather than lust/love. But anyways I love the worldbuilding, I love the demons' character designs, and I love the characters themselves. Its honestly pretty depressing and the middle dragged a bit but wow the ending was so beautiful and tied everything together.

Aaand my all time favorite, Sangyang the wanderer. its a bit hard to explain the premise because its so intricate, but basically its about these rich clans, in which each clan heir has a guardian to protect them. I love how otherworldly it feels, despite taking place in our time. The characters and worldbuilding are super unique as well. It feels more like a shounen than a bl to me tbh, which is something I love. I don't want to get into spoilers, but all of the hints towards the twists are there from the beginning, so its super fun to reread it and see what the author was hinting at.

All of these stories do something I love where they show the the past and how that impacts the characters and the trajectory of the story itself. It feels like these characters exist outside of the stories themselves ykwim? Like even after the story ends they'll continue to exist in their own worlds.

I didn't know about Stigmata and madK. Interesting. The way you describe these stories makes me want to read them. Thanks for your recommendation! Also I agree with your other recommendations as well

Bookmark em and close the tabs girly!!

not to jinx you or anything but I recently lost all my tabs on my phone without realizing so I couldn't even "open recently closed tabs". I think you should make sure to bookmark or something. I mean if we're being realistic here, bookmarking them would be the same but better than keeping those tabs open, they are both things that you are not likely to revist anytime soon

This.
This is a TRAGEDY.

Damn that's scary to witness. Sorry that happened to you. Yeah It seems I've to bookmark them as soon as possible. The annoying thing is that some of them aren't even any mangas/manhwas. They're list of mangas/manhwas/novel. Some tabs are about people recommending specific stories to other people (that I want to read but haven't read yet). I reallyyy have to organize them to save my phone *sigh*

Girl I recently cleared and deleted all my tabs of the past 2 years.
Honestly they aren't worth keeping.
You'll never go back to them and you'll likely stumble upon them again anyway.

If there's one you rly want to read create a reading list and add it there and just scroll thru it when Ur searching for something new to read.

have you read Until I Meet My Husband?
that ones rlly good and is based on an author’s biography about growing up being gay in japan

Maybe this
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/haruka_tooki_ie/

Yeah I read it a long time ago and loved it a lot. I remember crying so much while reading it. I nearly forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me about it.
I also read - https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/haruka_tooki_ie/ which also focuses on real life social issues I would say. I remember crying a lot while reading that one too

I already read it and loved it a lot :')

There also 'Ao no Flag' it doesn't manly focus on the bl part but there's a lot of real life problems in it, plus u will cry a lot, it's so good pls read it!!!

me too!! ive read that one as well and omg i cant bring myself to even look at the cover of that manga cause it was so fucking sad （/TДT)/

i forgot to ass but u should also read The Eve Festival, its so so good!!!!!

Thank you sooo much for taking your time to write this for me! I didn't read any of these mangas, I'm so happy see this list! :'D

Oh sorry some of these are not bl I did not see that part

I already read "ao no flag" and loved it. I cried a lot while reading it. I loved it so much that I was even thinking about watching the drama based on this manga (but the drama was not as well made)

It's alright as long as they focus on real life issues

Oh I didn't read that, thank you for the recommendation! I'm soo happy to find a good manhwa that I never knew about! :)

The Eve Festival is a bl that focuses on real life issues and Unlucky Mansion isnt a bl but it focuses on real life issues as well!!! both by the same author and very very good

np i really hope u enjoy it :)!!

Alright I'll check Unlucky mansion as well, thank you for the recommendation!

Kono oto tomare

Annarasumanara

Oh wait I confused another manga with "ao no flag" because they have the same artstyle but I do remember reading the manga till the halfway point (because I remember the hair cutting and accident part). Well I'll re-read because I remember that I really loved it. "Ao no flag" doesn't have any Jdrama. I confused it with another manga

I never read this, thank you for the recommendation! Also I watched the drama for annarasumanara, I'll be sure to check out the manhwa as well!

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/contradict/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/breath_the_same_air/

also this is a novel but "Annoying Zhao Gongzi" is probably as close to cute tsundere x tsundere you'll ever get

Thank you sooo much! I only read one manhwa out of here and I already novel but never read "annoying Zhao Gongzhi" so thank you a lot! I love this troupe a lot and It's so nice to see other manga/manhwa of this types. I'm really happy. Also thank you for the novel recommendation also!!

Does this kind of story even exist? Because I also need something like this now-

Same! There are 100s of villainess stories and most of them are barely average. I don't know which one is good and I don't want to read anything bad so I don't usually try them out. Only some of them are really good! But I never read anything like this in a villainess story. I do know a villainess story that has a good mystery but it's not reincarnation and the mc is also not the villainess. I would okay with a novel as well

What's the name?

I really want to read something like this

hey so these aren't like what you said but...the og FL (poor commoner one) is actually nice in both of them.

beware of the villainess (fl is actually besties with mc, lighthearted)
kill the villainess (darker, mc actually wants to return to her world, fl and mc relationship is complicated but they're friends sorta)

+1 cause i wanna read this too

It's called - https://www.mangago.zone/home/manga/annotation/the_holy_grail_of_eris/

And if you want some other recommendation to villainess stories with mystery as a subplot then you can try-

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/survive_romance/

Thank you, I'll be sure to check them out! I actually read them a long time ago and didn't continue reading them because they were ongoing then.
I have mostly forgot about them right now. I do remember giving them 5 star rating tho I'll give them a read them again!
