Someday's Dreamers: Spellbound
I don't know. It wasn't an extraordinary story. The plot wasn't something I've never read before, and the female lead was also ordinary but there was something about this story that I absolutely adored. I cried multiple times throughout this story and it was such a heartwarming read. The author and artist did an amazing job getting the emotions across. It was a beautifully told story. And there was magic in it, so bonus!
Ojikoi
...don't judge me or the cover of this manga. It is sooo cute! Ran-chan falls for her boss who is older than her. I think at one point he calls himself an oji san but he really doesn't look that old. I don't actually know his age. His personality is also mischievous and kind of flighty. The artwork is beautiful and their relationship is cute and one of the reviewers used the word refreshing. Which it is. Wished it updated!
Inuyasha
This is THE epic feudal love story. Seriously this was my first anime+first manga. And I couldn't ask for a better first. It has everything. Action, adventure, romance, comedy, and you just fall in love with the characters as you go through the journey with them. You love them, you get frustrated, you laugh, you cry, and seriously inuyasha and kagome are the epitome of a real life couple. They argue like crazy, have their tough times, even have to deal with a undead ex, but at the end of the day, the place they belong is right next to each other. Lol I am a crack shipper so at times I was all sesshomaruxkagome and kikyoxinuyasha bc you feel bad for even the villains in here and well sesshomaru is just hot. It's long though so this isn't a manga you read in one go unless I guess you want to. Some of it is episodic so you could pick a random chapter and it would still make sense but it's best to read in order to get the details. This manga is what you call a classic. Lol or maybe that's just my bias; I love this manga.
9 Banme No Musashi
Being normal is overrated. Why be a normal teenager, when you could be part of an organization that saves the world?? Unfortunately, saving the world is a lot less glamorous than people are made to believe. People die. Lies are everywhere. And you can't just solely rely on just your eyes anymore. It takes a special kind of person and Musashi is one of the few that takes up the challenge. She's strong, she's smart, and at times androgynous. Musashi kind of reminds me of Kim Possible, but cooler, bc she's so mysterious and she doesn't have a sidekick but later in the story she does get a love interest. One of my favorite female leads ever~
