nobile's manga / #school(347)

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.

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.

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.

Story about a spoiled princess and the prince disguised as a princess that falls in love with her to the point of becoming her servant just so she would stay with him. Personally, I think Akira was far too good for Mayuri. She was spoiled an immature, and he just spoiled her even more; honestly, it didn't really seem like there was much character development on her side. Still, Akira was so completely devoted to her, sadly it's not something that you can find in the real world :/ I'm a sucker for Gender Benders, I remember watching this anime called Maria + Holic or something like that, it was a very similar premise but somehow I didn't quite fall for it, so I started reading this a bit skeptical... I'm really glad that Akira was a far better character than Maria. I really do want to see more of these two, little princess there was annoying but not terribly so... not enough to sour the reading experience :) I do love this mangaka's art style.

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

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.

Cute story about an overprotecting school girl and an oblivious writer. I don't know which of them is cuter x)

Super, super adorable story about two college classmates: a rental boyfriend and his client. Even the side stories were so incredibly cute.

Both girls and guys in these stories are ridiculously annoying. It's Josei, so it's aimed for women to read... Not yuri in particular, so why do they blank out men's genitalia but nothing from the girls? I mean... I have nothing against showing stuff, those were some nice boobs, but like, everyone should be treated equally... the closest they got to not censoring guys was that silly drawing of a mushroom :P
