Usotoki Rhetoric

Complete | Miyako Ritsu | 2000 released

Honesty is the best policy, right? No. Not all lies are created equal, and for someone who can decipher a lie from a truth, the truth and the lie is not always so clear.I love the female lead; she seems so similar to myself lol except I don't have a superpower or a cool detective guy to follow along or live in cool historical Edo or, lol, I'm nothing like her, but she's someone I want to be. I love the art and the characters; each update is a joy. <3

That was absolutely beautiful. I cried. I laughed. I cheered for them. I hated them. I loved them. It was beautiful. Definitely one of the bests.

I-ren

Complete | aivan | 2000 released

Bastard. I came in with such high expectations and had all of them crumble beneath my feet. The shounen ai tag is so light it might as well not even be there for all the progress they're making. Come on!!! Why did you have to insert the love triangle that trepasses time???? I know they'll end up together Kiran and Ren but it's so unsatisfying.

Ichi

Complete | SHIMOZAWA Kan | 2008 released

I love this story; seinen is definitely awesome. This is the kind of story that made me actually expect more from shoujo mangas. Girls should be strong. I mean, they really are. People don't give them enough credit. And I don't mean just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Don't wait around for a guy to save you, save yourself! I love Ichi, she's the kind of person I aspire to be. Strong, kind, smart, and she does all this in spite of not being able to see the world around her. I do agree, since I am a hopeless romantic, that there should be more of a romance, but that's okay, that's what my imagination is for. :) note, there is a Japanese movie that's called Ichi. I'm not sure whether it was based on this or if this was based on the movie. The movie's not as good as the manga, but I do believe it's worth the watch, just to see everything in real life.

Oh this is brilliant. I love historical manga. And they're both so charming too. Lol, the frivolously lusty noble and the honorable man who refuses to be swayed by the noble's charms...lol, for now.

i think the stories were linked? lol, that's the only explanation that makes sense, otherise, I'd be really angry at how the first story ended. this author is known for doing open ended endings, so i should have known better. i do love the long hair though.

I hate when I can't tell characters apart; I have no clue what I just read.

yeah, i should have known; prostitution never ends up happily. take a lesson, kiddos of the world. selling yourself, you're selling a lot more than just your body.

This is why I don't read love triangles. Someone always ends up getttkng hurt. I wish mikage had fallen in love with someone else. Sakai should have just loved jirou instead of misleading him, arrggg I just want mikage to find his sister. I don't even need a love story if the end result is a casualty.

this was horrible; it was like one of those banned books. every convoluted plot twist that could happen, happened. personally, this was not love for me; this felt more like dependence. i just have this thing where i like it when they only have sex with the one they like, instead of just whoever and whenever. i did like the artwork and the historical setting though.
