straightie hidden gems!!!only pretty artstyles and best finds

This list features stories from a wide variety of genres. There are plenty of hidden gems scattered throughout, so you’re bound to find a few that catch your eye no matter your tastes!!

BUTT, the standout factor for any manga I add to this list
is strong, well-written characters. Surface-level romance or flat side characters are an instant turn-off for me. I want stories that show genuine care in their writing. Where every character, even the secondary ones, feels thoughtfully developed.

ENJOY

I love their dynamic so much. It’s a SUPER funny, cute, and beautifully drawn story. I especially love how their appearances completely throw you off. it’s such a great subversion of typical tropes. I enjoyed this so freaking much and can’t wait for the next season!!!! ugh the characters are great too. obsessed with a good rom-com

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

Please feel free to ask questions about any of the manga on this list!!!! seriously, I would love it! I’m a massive ranter at heart, and there’s just never enough room in the review section to say everything I want to say. Cutting my thoughts down to a few lines is honestly PAINFUL sometimes, because I have so much bursting love for these stories and characters, and I always want to scream about them in full detail. If there’s a series you’re curious about, something in a review that stood out to you, or even if you just want to chat about a story we both love. I would be absolutely overjoyed to talk.
