otakulys's manga / #Comedy(141)

Kinda weird, but the guys are pretty. I'm not sure how to feel about this. But I read it. I can't escape that now. I have to face what I've done.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Loved it! So glad I finally got around to reading this one. I love Harada. So far, I'd only had a chance to read her short stuff, which is more heart-destroying than anything. This one definitely made me ugly-cry a few times, but it's all worth it in the end. Such a sweet couple. I love the little family they created with the three of them. I wish there were more adventures with them! I'm also worried, though, because if there's ever another continuance, it might result in the relationship getting all messed up. D: Anyway, loved it. Harada has quickly become one of my top favorite mangakas.

I love Kunieda Saika so much. I wish all of her work were translated. It seems like she hasn't written anything new for a while, either. I hope I see more of her stuff soon. I'm obsessed. This was an interesting little collection. So far, two chapters haven't been translated yet, so we'll see if that ever happens. Fingers crossed. I liked the first one the most out of the ones that were here, I think. Kinda weird and sad, definitely sorta creepy ending. Like, creepy uncle literally, not creepy as in horror. Hope the other two are translated someday.

It's actually kinda cute so far, and the seme is really hot. The uke is kind of obnoxious, but he's pretty without his glasses. I hope he stops acting like a frail little baby, though. Oh hey, I didn't know there was a tag for that specific "power," but there it is. Hopefully the uke grows a spine. And I hope the translation gets a little better. I would happily offer editing services to these places, but I don't really know where to start.

I only read the last two thoroughly, chapter 3 and 3.5. I'm not a huge fan of typical shoujo romance, and after I skimmed the first few chapters, I figured it didn't have anything that would really change my feelings. I read the last two because of the unusual lead female characters. I wish it could have been more focused on women like that. The fat girl story was what brought me here, and though it ended happily enough, I don't know how I feel about how much he hated his girlfriend's appearance, like in the end he was just tolerating her. I did like that she was legitimately fat, though. Another manga I started reading is about a fat girl who is drawn exactly like all of the other girls in size, but somehow she's supposed to be overweight. Anyway, I can tell the other stuff isn't for me, but the last two stories weren't too bad. Chapter 3 had a good message, too, and I'm so glad she finally chased after her dream and broke out of her rigid sense of duty.

I feel like this author wanted to write a story about a fat girl, but she didn't actually want to DRAW a fat girl. I mean, look at this chick. Her morbid obesity is shocking. x_x Seriously, she doesn't even look slightly pudgy compared to the other characters. It's like we're supposed to use our imaginations. But whatever. If you say everyone sees her as fat, fine. 2.5 stars for now, two chapters in, because I don't like the fact that I have to worry about her eventually getting "thin." I hate stories where he finally loves her for who she is, then she loses weight anyway. Sad that like only .0000000000000000001% of manga has a lead female who isn't conventionally attractive, and of those, like .0000000000000000001% have a strong storyline and a girl who stays the way she is and still deserves love and happiness.

I read the first few chapters and rated it three stars, but I'm switching to "want to read" so that I stop getting notices. I'm not sure if I want to continue this one or not. I dunno. For one, I'm not sure why any of these people want to be this chick's friend so badly. She's pretty rude and selfish all the time. I would have rather seen her journey to becoming more confident, and I'd like her more if she were still fat, just cause you so rarely see fat female characters in manga/manwha. I'm hoping something satisfying comes of this. So far, it just seems like lots of mean things happen, but nothing changes. I am glad that she wasn't flattered by the guys who only liked her after she lost weight. That would have made things so much more annoying. I'll stay tuned for now, but I'm hoping this starts to have a bit more substance.

I was eagerly buying these up back in the day, as they were being released. Nostalgia! I miss the thrill of walking into the bookstore to see what was new, leaving with an armful of manga. Nothing since has ever quite been like that feeling. But I can't give it the full five stars, just because it always bothered me that she had to change writers, and the story obviously took a completely different turn than what had been planned. I feel like it was supposed to be way more shounen ai, too, but the new writer took it in a more lighthearted direction. It's a shame, but I still have all of the volumes from those years ago, and it is something I look back on fondly.

Kinda funny. That guy was a jerk and deserved it. The girl, though... Yeah, I get it, but have you ever heard of breaking up with someone? Did you have to let it go this far? If I had a dime for every person I had to stab so that they'd just tell me how they really felt...

I dunno. Those were pretty rude customers.
