nini's manga / #✧✧✧✧✧(280)

✰ 5/5 (seiichi + mitsuru ) + friends to lovers! high school romance filled with green flags fluff overload! <3 + idk how else to explain this? it's healing, very simple yet heartwarming + their friend group is also cute! very wholesome friendship ^^ i wish we got to see them reveal their relationship to yano though + badly wishing for S2 because we need more !!!! they're both so precious :(( it was also somewhat realistic especially the pacing! :)) + the art style is adorable! i love the extras so much! their smut scenes are so sensual and filled with so much affection another comfort couple fr!

✰ 5/5 (ai + nao ) + wholesome, family-centric story college love birds who decided to get married and adopt a child <3 + i absolutely love them :(( this story tackled a bunch of issues that are truly relevant today ^^ it was very realistic! + i love how each character is portrayed as people who actually make mistakes and through it, they get to learn and change for the better + i love the dynamic of everyone they're all so sweet and loving :(( ai and nao are such good parents! their personalities contrast, but also complement one another + the art style is so beautiful! i am obsessed with this author's stories! they always portray green flagged characters hehe

✰ 5/5 (jin + matthew ) + mafia/gang member x college student who majors in sculpting! fubus? turned lovers! :)) it was kind of an unofficial contract thing? + guys,,, ik they lowkey toxic (maybe highkey?)... but i just love them so much ik the reencounter type of trope is overused already. however, this one just makes me feel the tingles it was such a satisfying end frfr! + i wanna highlight the way matthew & jin healed each other's broken souls by loving one another they became each other's home and family :(( they both felt like they saved each other, but at the same time feel guilty for what happened to the other. it's a complicated feeling? a rollercoaster of emotions. but, it ended in such a beautiful way + i love how jin's perspective in life slowly changed when matthew entered his life (again!). he started to value someone. he also started to value his self and how he should change his lifestyle because he wanted to protect the relationship they have + anyway, the age gap's big, but idk? i just felt fine with their relationship since they didn't have those feelings when matthew was still young. jin really treasured him ever since. he even pushed forth with life because he wanted to give matthew a better life. but, unfortunately, he lost himself through that process which is why i'm glad that they found their way back to each other's lives <3 + the art is perfect! i still can't believe i've finished this already as i was one of those readers who was there when it was first launched! i even purchased its chapters when it was on tapas i was really attached to them and i felt so sad when it had a long hiatus. but, here we are !!! i'm so happy they got a happy ending >< i hope jaxx-nim gives us snippets of their relationship in the future huhu praying for a few side stories :'))

✰ 5/5 (hiroki + shintaro ) + MC who's a convenience store clerk + ML who's a gym instructor >< love at first sight for ML! he's such a simp ISTG SO CUTE + i LOVE LOVE their relationship! it was so natural! your typical random strangers who just fell for each other <3 + the pacing was sooooo good! there was a bit of miscommunication, but they were able to talk about it properly which improved their communication between one another + their dates were so adorable :')) i badly wanna see more of their domestic side (╥﹏╥) + the art style is gorgeous tooo! this author's works are very wholesome and most of them have healthy relationships too ^^ i'm so obsessed with how realistic this one was

✰ 5/5 (leo + shin ) + another childhood friends to lovers! this one sting a bit i'm so glad we had a happy ending after almost 2 years of waiting for updates! + mutual pining, yet again! >< they are both just so precious :(( their relationship was so heartwarming. it's so sad that people have these prejudices which made MC anxious of the feelings they had for e/o + they broke up for a bit, HOWEVER! they managed to fix it guys !!!! don't worry, it has a sweet ending + i love how supportive yukarin is !!!! she is such a queen <3 i'm also happy that the MC got the reassurance he needed from his family ^0^ + the art style is very pretty & adorable i've always loved how soft and warm this author's characters and story feel it always brings comfort for the readers :>

✰ 5/5 (for the first story only) (luna + nox ) + might be my new fave het couple ever centuries old vampires !!! and they're madly in love (bonus: they're kinky living on earth for a long period of time can be boring) + it's such an interesting story! very unique concept ^^ i wanted this to be even longer but i think the ending fit it pretty well :)) + the visuals are INSANITY !!! my bisexuality peaked while reading this i can't get enough of how pretty they look !!!! + i'm interested in their back stories too,,, like how they became vampires, or how was their life while raising a human baby LIKE GOD i yearn for this couple + anyway, i hope we get extras or maybe some official art from the author because i just love their dynamic they're deeply in love with each other :(( oh, to have a love like theirs.

✰ 5/5 (hikaru + shinobu ) + sort of enemies? to lovers trope hehe & they were coworkers! one that is popular at work x timid and the complete opposite (but actually has a secret popular side off work!) + healthy couple !!!! ik they're already together, but i think they're also in some kind of slow burn~ they still haven't explicitly confessed to e/o so ‍ + they're dynamic, along with the side characters, was pretty fun to read ^^ i love how supportive their friends are + this was actually a reread, and i gotta say, i appreciated it more this time around since the second season gave more life to their relationship + i'm looking forward to the next volume (apparently, there's a new volume coming up!) :)) i hope it gets translated soon hehe the art style is amazing, as always!

✰ 5/5 (sak + lima ) + apocalyptic setting! caller x core user (supernatural genre) & very psychological too :)) it's like a destiny type of trope? something to do with connections like a red string of sorts + might be my new fave manhwa i've read recently the amount of plot twists ???? the story was so well-made! i got hooked which made it even faster to finish! (i didn't want it to end ) + i must admit, there were still a few loopholes that didn't have any concrete answers but ig i'm just glad the two MCs finally got some kind of peace, although they're pretty much still on the run :(( + i have lots of questions about the whole epidemic and like the real goal of the research institute because they were so secretive... i'm also curious about the other two guys who just kept popping up randomly like idk what their characters were supposed to be? + i really liked how refreshing this concept was! the writing was so poetic and i just think the mystery that comes with how the story ended also gives it more flavor! the art style is amazing too! love the pop of color whenever they introduce a new scene/character~ + i also want to point out how the MCs never exchanged "ILYs" because they had their own ways of doing so? and, it felt even more genuine since they entrusted their lives to one another

✰ 5/5 (torikai + yajima ) + rivals to lovers! they're both firefighters too~ coworkers + neighbors (coincidentally ) love love their dynamic! <3 + i've grown to love this couple tbh, they had a rocky start. but, they eventually started to open up which led to them being officially together + i like how their chaotic dynamic never changed even after being bfs! >< though, i can see that they became a bit softer and sweet to one another which is adorbs they admire e/o a lot :)) + i'm glad the 2nd volume addressed some past "issues" which made them communicate and have a better understanding of one another i also like seeing the ML open up more! i hope he soon reciprocate the MC's "ILYs" + i'm so seated for the upcoming sequel i would love to see more domesticity from them !! maybe they'll even start living together soon this author never fails to make amazing stories with the most beautiful art

✰ 5/5 (koichi + kumazawa ) + enemies (kind of) to fubus to lovers! >< they're also neighbors !!! straight vlogger/streamer x gay mechanic hehe + i love them so much :')) i absolutely adore their dynamic + started off with bickering, a kiss to shut him up, and the rest was history + they have a very healthy relationship & they're so domestic :(( i need MOREEEEE i badly wanna see the raws for volume two + the art is soooo pretty i love how their aura & character design contrasts with each other hehe they complement one another
