Aki wa Haru to Gohan wo Tabetai

Ongoing | Taji makoto | 2019 released

Love, love the food elements! Also love the themes of youth and how their love is portrayed… Feels very natural, and I love how they can feel so at ease with one another. The domesticity is insane, and reading this definitely gives me feet-kicking-in-the-air moments 29

A Tidal Wave of Glory

Ongoing | Beulimseu,Haje | 2022 released

46 just so good! even though this is tad dramatic with the mc being a prolific music artist. love how he appreciates his fans and his relationships with other characters in the story. you can really feel the emotions and even the music! even if u can’t hear it. the art is gorgeous too

Life in Another World as a Housekeeping Mage

Ongoing | Fuguruma you,Nama,Ono akihito | 2019 released

This story is so good! At first I didn’t know where they were going with the MC (Shiori)’s trauma, but the author actually portrayed it quite well— the abuse and also her journey of healing from it. It’s scarily accurate at depicting the corruption that often happens behind closed door and to foreign women. It’s a good blend of fantasy and reality. The MC’s “housekeeping” magic is quite novel in adventurer settings like these imo. One of the things I really love in isekai is when the protagonist longs for the homeland because I think anyone would in that scenario. I love the romance between Shiori and Alec (ML). It just really screams supportive, and I love all the other side characters of well, all of which have depth and truly care for the MC. Such a great read! I only regret not finding this sooner.

The White Mage Who Was Banished From the Hero's Party Is Picked up by an S Rank Adventurer ~ This White Mage Is Too Out of the Ordinary!

Ongoing | Suigetsu sora,Mukuno wasabi | 2019 released

The premise is interesting. Execution could a bit better, but I’m glad this isn’t harem. The MC’s party members aren’t just flat characters, which is nice. Better than your typical isekai where the MC gets kicked out of the hero’s party 39

Teach Me to Love

Ongoing | Nanako sakurai | 2022 released

This is actually a pretty nice read. The two leads are perfect for each other. They’re both “intense” regarding relationships. They’re also kind of twisted? Like others have said, the MC goes after taken men and the ML gives stalkerish vibes. They’re pretty cute at the end though, and I loveeee the art. Classic miscommunication plot but cute

Love is Found 2 Meters Underground

Ongoing | Imai sasaru | 2022 released

8 Ahh I really love this. You don’t really see archeology mixed with ML. This is really interesting and cute! Loved the metaphors/general writing style. I liked how the leads are pretty open about being gay.

Ao no Flag

Complete | Kaito | 2000 released

am at a loss for words… This is definitely a love triangle romance, but I actually loved this? Which is kind of ironic because I tend to stay away from stuff like that. I really liked how this manga touches on the struggles of people who aren’t “normal” in society, but what even is normal? This really explores the struggles of youth and their struggles towards the future, young love, women and sexism, queerness, toxic masculinity, etc. The storytelling is great, full of complexities and nuances. All the characters have their own perspectives on things, and it feels so realistic that way. I love how they communicate honestly, and it makes everything so raw and refreshing. This is such an EXPERIENCE, and the art is lovely— and I just have so much praise for this. I would say this is kind of lacking in the romance department, but you could also say this is more school life/slice of life.

Itsuka koi ni naru made

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2017 released

Felt mostly like I was reading about horny teenagers, which the leads are. Once you get past that, it’s not horrible. I really love the childhood friends to lovers trope, so this is ofc right up my alley. Along with the puppy love fluff, I also appreciated the realism surrounding their relationship, how they should navigate life together, and so on. It’s a typical coming of age story, but it’s executed fairly well. Good read. And the art is so gorgeous!

Okuremashite Seishun

Ongoing | Kira hanamaru | 2022 released

14 They’re so freaking adorableee. I adore that they’re the same age and they like each other just as much as the other! They’re so awkward, and this manga perfectly encapsulates first love imo. This is the kind of manga you can’t help kicking your feet in the air too… Ughh i just love them sm

One room TA

Ongoing | Jibung | 2000 released

43 This is so freaking funny dawg. They're so ridiculous and the blond guy is so relatable
