Magic Shoe Shop

Complete | Sakai Mayu | 2005 released

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.

Wakusei Honey

Complete | sakai mayu | 2000 released

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...

Soraoto

Complete | takamiya satoru | 2000 released

Story about Heaven's field workers, the challenges they face as they try to fulfill their mission of escorting souls to Heaven. Pretty cool story, I also loved the art style, I particularly liked the wings. For some reason I kept wanting to see them kiss, that extra chapter was the cherry on top :D

So they have all 3 chapters from the main story and two one-shots (chapter 5 and 4). The main story was pretty cool, had an interesting/appealing premise, but even though all the chapters from that story have been released, it still feels like it's quite unfinished, there's something lacking, all the relationships weren't properly developed (even though they're deeply intertwined), it just seemed like a teaser or a pilot for a future series. Was quite disappointed for that, actually. I get this strong feeling that I've read Chapter 5's one-shot somewhere else, but I cannot for the life of me recall. It was rather cute, played with people's preconceived ideas on others based on minimal exposure, and what it takes to accept them for who they really are. I liked it a lot. One-shot from Chapter 4 was actually more like a prequel to the main story. It talks about Momoka and Chitose's relationship before anything from the main story ever happened. It wasn't bad, but it still felt lacking; much worse after knowing how the main story develops.

Lovers in Conflict

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.

Awesome story! Great conclusion, nice art style, likable characters, really good overall. It would've been nice if there had been an extra mini-chaptet showing them as they rebuild their relationship, just a photograph is not enough :P

Haraimasu kedo Nani ka?

Complete | takamiya satoru | 2000 released

Two stories: the first is a tragic love story across generations between a vampire and his attachment with a certain human girl. The second story is a romcom about a girl whose dream is to have an ikemen ghost boyfriend but can't because she uncontrollably repels them, and the very much alive ikemen classmate that is constantly being haunted by ghosts. I definitely feel bad about Kagari, yes he did say some callous things, but it was because he thought it would be best for Kirie if she wasn't near him. Sadly, it backfired an spoiled his only chance for a happy ending with her. I can only hope that he can get along well with NeverForget CrossDressing-kun, and that they both can find his imouto and that she likes Kagari back. -- Actually I just realised that last bit is the intro for the that story's sequel named Heaven's Will. I feel terrible for poor abused Miyama, it seemed as if he ended up developing Stockholm Syndrome Dx

Heaven''s Will

Complete | Takamiya Satoru | 2006 released

A girl that is haunted by oni, a boy with a deathwish that exorcizes oni with his dead sister's exorcizing fan, and a vampire that can turn into a wolf, work together to exorcize evil oni. I feel pretty down after finishing reading... it's nice, but I wish that the story would have continued if only just a bit longer, just to avoid this huge hole I feel in my heart after reading this. It's sad that there's nothing conclusive with all of Seto's relationships; and what's even worse is that if you already know Kagari's backstory, it's quite depressing that he will never be happy again. Thinking about that makes my chest hurt a bit :/

Watashi No + Okusuri

Complete | Takamiya Satoru | 2006 released

Story about girl working on her mission to become a witch, and the boy studying to become a wizard, when both are forced to live together and must learn about love and relationships. I must day, lovey-dovey Aoi looked absolutely adorable. I kind of wish I could've seen more of that gentle side of him. It was a bit difficult to follow on some parts due to bad English, but the art was really nice and the story was well thought out.

Series of love stories with happy endings. First one was perhaps the most interesting one, although I really disliked the ending. Second story felt rather generic and predictable. Third story could have been "less bad" but it ended up just as boring as the previous one. Fourth story started out fine, but it failed to achieve much afterwards, becoming just as generic as the previous two.
