BE BLUES ~Ao ni nare~
A prodigy soccer player whose flame has been snuffed out sparks once again. Really dramatic the start. MC breaks his legs? From a fall down a stairwell. I liked the manga's small details in demonstrating the MC's character. Like how he always holds onto the railing in case of a fall. It starts becoming more about soccer after the beginning of the manga. It isn't like Ao Ashi, but I do think this soccer manga is on par with it. Loved the intensity of the soccer matches. Also, the teammates' characters? So well done. Ultimately, this is an absolute gem of a sports manga. Loved, loved, LOVED the action! The ending is a little abrupt, though. I wish we could have seen the MC's pro arc, but it did leave me feeling hopeful. It provided a little glimpse into the characters' future. Compared to other sports manga *cough* Ace of Diamond *cough*, the ending to this isn't so bad. One of the best sports manga out there!!

Piano Duo for the Left Hand
really good! the piano element goes crazy but i also love the other themes such as grief and death. the art is amazing and i quite like the characters. you know what, i quite liked the ending! it was happy, and i’m glad that the mc stopped running away… from himself and his true feelings. i liked the themes of found family. i found this to be a very uplifting manga with great art, too. the pacing was a little iffy (felt pretty fast imo), but it told the story well. for the author’s first work, this did touch my heart ^^ personally, there was more that i wanted from the story. like i wanted the protagonist to find purely his own sound, but the ending *SPOILER WARNING* was okay, too, albeit generic, with them continuing to play the piano together for however time allows
