I read this a while ago so let's see if my memory serves at all. I remember liking the story (probably wouldn't reread just because it's got a lot of typical shoujo tropes and once you've read it once you'll be bored trying again). It did have some interesting plot twists, though, and I thought the author did a great job tying together all of the time travel events between the past and future. The beginning was pretty damn funny as well, when he tried getting used to the future for the first time. I was really sad that everyone except Renkaku got saved in the end, though. I'm a sucker for characters like him who are nice with a hidden pain.

Yunohana Tsubame

Hmm...it was quite the letdown. The first chapter set it up to be a much deeper story than it was, with her losing her parents and accidentally sleeping with a middle schooler. But all the consequences of their actions resolved so quickly it didn't make sense (in fact, all the issues resolved so quickly it didn't make sense) and just made for a disappointing waste of time. I can get the comedy angle, but wish the author had tried to make the story at least a bit more cohesive- great comedy mangas are good because have a decent story behind them. This is just way too random for my liking.

Interesting set up and good development in the MC. I think I've finally discovered the difference between shoujo and shounen (outside of the plot differences) and that is character development! In shoujo, everyone but the MC seems to develop, giving the impression that the MC is just a buffer for other people to improve. In shounen, the character development of the MC has a strong presence throughout the entire manga.

Honestly the only reason I'm rating this so high is because it's really endearing that someone took the time to take pics of 200 pages just so we could read them. The story itself was just okay, nothing eye catching about it.

I remember liking this! Somehow, I found the ghosts super adorable!

Not bad. It was interesting seeing the MC of a yaoi not get the person he was originally interested in.

This was really touching somehow! The art wasn't the greatest but somehow the character designs just made them more endearing. And the grandfather was so adorable, holding on to his love for so long! I wish I could have gotten to see more of his past and his reunion with Misaki's grandpa in heaven!

This was rather interesting. I did wish I could have learned more about Yashiro's desire to crossdress, like how he felt doing it, etc.

It was a nice, simple yaoi. A bit cookie cutter, but still enjoyable.
