completed. slice of life, hurt/comfort

a niece and her estranged aunt learn to live together in the wake of tragedy. i started this manga solely because i thought the aunt was handsome (and she was!!), but it was lovely to discover the depth of this story - how grief manifests strangely and belatedly, how a mother can haunt you past her death, how love can persist and grow even if you don’t feel up for the challenge. such a beautiful story with such an emotionally satisfying payoff. 10/10

completed. slice of life, some romance

ritzhard is an unpopular bachelor because of his wintry territory, and sieglind has never married due to her intimidating status as a decorated soldier. this is a peaceful tale of their cohabitation - it’s less of a romance and more of an extended series of “how it’s made” snippets. how do you make alcohol? cheese? how do you make use of every part of an animal? a soothing and lovely read, though i wish there was more mentions of the geopolitics. 8/10

ongoing. slice of life, romance

a shy, nerdy guy becomes roomies with a stylish girl after a series of miscommunications. it’s a cute and simple manga showing the silly and quiet cohabitation of two people who are more similar than they think. i like the quiet introspection and character development of two people who learn more about each other just from being exposed to each other. nice, simple, cute. 8/10

yoshiki knows his best friend, and the thing that came down from the mountains is not his best friend. think of the age-old story archetype of a “changeling” and turn it up to 100. the cicadas are buzzing, the crickets are chirping, and the ghost wearing your best friend’s skin beckons to you, begging you to love him back. i mean, what can yoshiki really do in that situation? NOT be tragic and gay? lol. an utterly enthralling story. 10/10

ongoing. slice of life, romance, shoujo

a love story featuring four protagonists, each one harboring a love for a person that may not love them back. definitely not a conventional shoujo, but a poignant one. all these kids have issues and problems that start to play off each other like a beautiful and dissonant symphony. the yearning is immaculate, and so are the characters. 9/10
