Kitaru Harekake no Ashita yo
lovely. the writing's really good.
Shouta, Kimi wo Aishiteru
may not have the best plots but beefy main couples with outrageous chemistry IS CRAZY WORK. am i rating this 4 stars solely for those reasons? absolutely.
Unintentional Love Story
my god. y'all weren't lying. THIS WAS INDEED GOOD. the emotional development between all the characters are realistic, and the fact that we see dimensionality to their personalities—and by that i mean they actually deal with conflicts like adults, have the rationality of a real human, and are not bound by archetypes—was the cherry on top. genuinely, what a solid story.
Haru to Natsu to Nacchan to Aki to Fuyu to Boku
............no words. i have no words. “beautiful” is not enough a word to describe it. fuck. this manga is just overflowing with candidness and love that it stunned me to the point of speechlessness. this reminds me of the song “Mystery of Love”. they evoke in me the same feeling.
Yakuza wo Shibatte Ii desu ka
it's so sweet UGGGGHHH!!!!! 3.5 stars!
Rivalry
great to see character growth from all the characters involved and how that impacts their relationships. also love the emphasis on how communication maintains the relationship whenever both parties find themselves in opposition to each other, and overcoming those struggles together fortifies it. the drama is not overblown, and the story in general is satisfactory. although it's nowhere near revolutionary, i appreciate a good read. 3.9 stars :)
Gosan no Heart
honestly, wow, the chemistry's great! there's not much plot to speak of but the characters are so vibrant and teeming with life in their own right.
