Owaranai Fukou Ni Tsuite No Hanashi

Complete | ogawa chise | 2013 released

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I just wasnt interested. It felt too empty for me. 5/10

Old Friends

Ongoing | Ayuko | 2019 released

The abortion comment is kinda clumsily inserted into their conflict. What is it referring to??? Did Takase's MOM get an abortion after sleeping around? Did TAKASE herself get an abortion after sleeping around? Why did Kana bring up abortion specifically and not careless pregnancies, which I think would've been more of a natural escalation? There just wasn't enough foreshadowing for "abortion" to be the major conflict. Idk. Was pretty good, just very short and trying to tackle multiple issues at the same time. 5/10

Questionable age gap, very white bread, easy to read, low drama. Sounds good to me 5/10

Fushigi Yûgi - Genbu Kaiden

Ongoing | Watase yuu | 2022 released

They always introduce the girl as being able to fight and then whenever fights again and constantly needs to be saved. This started to feel repetitive a couple chapters in. The characters spend a lot more time just waiting around for things to happen, which kills any momentum the plot has. The ending is pretty unsatisfying imo. I did really like the premise and how straightforward the goal was. The story never meandered too far from its main plot. And I did feel invested in the characters, which was great. Overall, I think I was just disappointed in the repetitive pacing but would've otherwise enjoyed this manga quite a bit. Mmm 5/10 for me on this one

Kagami-kun Wants To Be Loved

Ongoing | Yura | 2022 released

Uhhh straight laced seme x lonely and horny uke who's been sleeping with some upperclassmen to ease his loneliness. It was overall cute and fluffy, minus the blackmail at the start I guess. We do stan a slutty uke who knows what he wants 5/10
