nobile's manga / #bittersweet(224)

First story was kind sweet, even if the pacing felt off or a bit forced. The other two stories would have benefited from being a bit longer, it felt like they were cut 3/4 of the way into it.

Story about a boy and a girl trying to heal their wounds caused by their parents. It's kind of a nice story, but somehow there's something that feels like it's missing, I'm not sure what exactly.

Waaaahh this was such a nice story! I wish there was more, I'd like to see what Sora thought about Satsuki being the same person he helped when she was young. Also about the White Lily flower salesman. I really do wish there was more to read...

Such a nice story. It's definitely slow-paced, but I think that's what makes the feelings that grow in them all the more precious. I have nothing but respect for Seiji-san and how UNLIKE ALL THE OTHER CHARS IN HIS POSITION ON OTHER MANGAS ARE he held himself from forcing his pacing and need to rush things on her. Even when he knew he couldn't take it any longer and finally decided to come out and tell her about his feelings, he still made it so that she was able to find "her real self" without his influences. He kept himself from making advances on her (heck, even Nao, who treasured her so much, couldn't keep himself from pressing his feelings on her), he let her grow and become a mature adult without forcing an adult world onto her before she was ready for it. Seriously, this guy gets mad respect from me, and even though I'm an Aoi #1 fan, I still acknowledge this guy deserves our heroine.

Did they just pass off that some pedophile was aiming for that girl and then nothing more about that???? wtf

Story about birds and relationships. I think that writing even one more chapter would've been enough to make this a really great story; heck even just extending the oneshot to be longer would've helped. As it is, it just started paving the way to a very interesting story, but never really made it there.

Truly beautiful story about a servant robot girl as she plans to adapt to the day her master will come of age. This could easily be turned into a longer series, each chapter with whatever new customer the shop gets.

A girl who can read minds and a boy that is hurting. What the hell, this could've been a really good story! Mangaka seems to like making teasers only...

Story about a girl that seems to be uninterested in love, and a boy who seems to be haunted by it. I can't say I don't wish for a happy ending, but I can't say that I wouldn't like to see them happy either. But at the very least, I would like to see a more "conclusive" ending; I think it's not THAT bad having it end where it did though.

Main story is about the "road" a high school girl traveled in order to accept her current position as wife to the man her sister left at the altar. It has some bits that border on rape, which was a bit uncomfortable for me. Honestly, I didn't quite like either of the characters, I felt frustrated with them most of the time. Second story was about two siblings coming to terms with how much they need each other and how little they care for other things. There was supposed to be a second oneshot, but it seems it never was uploaded.
