tsukineko's manga / #office worker(30)

Sweet and relatively realistic. Hilarious in parts. Maybe too sweet and fluffy for my liking.

A collection of unusual oneshots, with interesting relationship dynamics.

3.5 stars. That was lovely! So sweet, but in a realistic, rather than a fluffy way. It was a sensitive portrayal of a relationship between mature adults. Quite refreshing. Also, I'm always glad to see couples practising safe sex. And they're a riba couple yay! Many reasons to like this manga. Why is it, then, that I can't bring myself to say it was brilliant or worth 4 stars? Maybe it was lacking a little oomph? Dunno - it was clearly MEANT to be a slow burner, and I LIKED that about it, but I still feel it was lacking something, though I can't quite put my finger on what... Maybe passion? Yeah, that's probably it. I'll certainly read more by this mangaka, though.

This looks good. It seems as though it will, (again), be revolving around this mangaka's favourite(?) theme of broken things/people becoming stronger and more beautiful when fixed with love.

3.5 stars. As someone else commented, this neads a couple more chapters to stabilise their relationship. Also, I'm a bit confused as to whether they just talked about breaking up, or did they actually break up and then get back together again at the end??? I'm about to read 'Hatsukoi no Atosaki', so maybe that'll clarify things for me.

Sequel to 'Sayônara Game'. There's also a spin-off: 'Love Nest'.

2.5 stars. That developed way too fast! The storyline was typical shoujo, knight in shining armour crap, tbh. The one good thing going for this, was that the seme was a hottie.

That was actually a lot better than the first one, 'Only You'.

Looks as though this mangaka is out to challenge stereotypes, which is great... but this story wasn't [great]. I don't really like the art, either, although I don't hate it. It felt kind of bara-ish.
