Teru Teru X Shounen
66 chaps - Interesting tale with several twists, but lost something in the end. I think it was more translation related, though. Still, remained interesting.
Lample
5 chaps - Kinda leaves you hanging, but not necessarily in the bad way. The story is complete and it has an ending, but your left wishing there was more. Overall, a rather novel Genie story.
Zatoichi
2 stories in 218 pages - I marvel at the thought that such people could be out there. I really think it's probably unbelievable, but it would be wonderful If people could become so skilled in spite of such obstacles. Overall 2 sad stories, but also interesting.
Tonari no Yuki Onna-chan
One shot - It was cute, but I would have liked it better if they had thought out the ending a little better and not contradicted their own 'touching' laws. Previously a contact (even through clothes) was sufficient to..., well, you'll see, so not sure how it got pulled off in the end.
Goshimei Desu!
3 chaps & a one shot - Can't say I appreciate his occupation, but I can respect his devotion. Second is just cutesy.
Blue Sky Playground
A decent entry in the plain girl /prince genre, and throws in the 2 prince twist for good measure. Has its emotional moments, appropriate hurt and angst, and even a few potential 'have a tissue' moments, but it's also a prime example of one of my main plot frustrations with many mangas. (IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET AND DON'T LIKE POTENTIAL PLOT REVEALS - stop *RIGHT HERE* - reading further may put your potential plot ignorance at risk!) 'Ignore to protect' is a sub-category of the NO COMMUNICATION between the principles technique. I just don't get a lot of overall enjoyment from stories whose main method of moving the story forward is emotionally torturous ignorance caused by people who deliberately won't, or can never find the courage to, communicate!
