Sangen Tonari No Tooi Hito

Complete | Suzuki Tsuta | 2007 released

I quite loved both stories. I sort of felt that the ending of the first was a bit odd, like they tried to tie all loose ends, even if they didn't truly match (they had set up the stage for the Jinx and for the brother, but in the end they just made an appearance at the last pages). The story Merry Checker is a sidestory that talks about the work-sempai and his IRL meet. The second story was really nice, it would've been nice to see big brother waking up from the coma, writer-san going back to a no-longer-underage little brother, but it was still fine even without.

Brother Shuffle!

Complete | mishima kazuhiko | 2012 released

A funny version of the classic "switched bodies" trope. Akiyama is hot as fuck. It was hilarious that the older brother kept trying to not cause trouble for Mafuyu's body, while Mafuyu himself pretty much whored himself around and even became a gang leader with the entire school as his territory xD

Akane is such a good kid... Truly cute story :)

Nejimaki Mano-san

Complete | saitou ken | 2011 released

I'm not very sure what their relationship ended up as, I understood the "the screw fell off completely" line to mean that she no longer was a doll and that she would be able to express her emotions better, but I don't understand how that is affected by her relationship with him.

Gar To Oujisama

Complete | Saitou Ken | 2009 released

Really funny story about a hopelessly kind prince and a not-very-skilled witch as they journey to find what will grant them their wishes. I would've loved an extra chapter telling about how they live together and to see Gar fall in love with him :)

Mashikaku Rock

Complete | watanabe kana | 2000 released

All the stories were truly amazing,... They ranged from cute and "sunshiny" to dark and thought-provoking. Definitely became a favourite.

Hana to Rakurai

Complete | Watanabe Kana | 2000 released

This is such a beautiful story, slow-paced but it leaves you feeling like every moment matters. Inspiring message, a bit heartbreaking on the second half but truly fulfilling ending. Beautiful.

Genyou No Meizu

Complete | Hasumi Toui | 2003 released

I can't believe that's the entirety of the story... it seemed to be building up to a very interesting goal, yet instead of pushing the story forward, the last chapters just told how the characters met and that's it, the story ended. It would've totally been a 4 or 5 star for me, but I'm debating if I should do 2 instead of 3... it really bugs me how incomplete this feels.

Cute story about a chivalrous thief with bad eyesight, and a priest that wants to right her ways.

Kare to Kanojo no Futomin

Complete | kusakawa nari | 2010 released

This would have been a great story, had it ended a bit later. Yes we know eventually they'll figure out a way, they're both really smart, but where it ended only left me unfulfilled. I really wish it would've been longer.
