1-en no Otoko

Complete | MONDEN Akiko | 2000 released

Apparently, there's an extra chapter of one of these stories in 'Limiter'.

There's an extra for this in 'Mitsu no Yoru'.

Kimi Wo Mukaeni

Complete | Shimotsuki Kairi | 2007 released

3.5 stars. This was quite refreshing. They were all good apart from the last, which was just ludicrous. I like the art style and the looks of the characters, (apart from the first seme, who was chubby and kind of gross looking).

Love & Catastrophes

Ongoing | Kataru Cisco | 1999 released

I've read the first 5 chapters. The art is ugly, but the stories are really good - original, interesting and poignant! Characterisation is another strong point. In fact, I became attached to several of the characters and would love to read more about them. I especially love the ukes in here - stereotypically blond and babyfaced, but incredibly strong, mature, and the last one is even intelligent! A rare breed indeed! There's good character development, too, as characters often learn important life lessons, helped along by their partners. I'm thoroughly enjoying this manga, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest. I would love for this mangaka to write more! Ideally, she'd write a longer story, and team up with someone else to do the art.

Prequel to 'Rouge'?

Smoker

Complete | inoue satou | 2011 released

I've seen some of the h and it's smoking hot! Plus there are loads of cats and they seem to play some kind of role in the story, not just there to look cute.

Mugen no Roukaku

Complete | mizukami shin | 2000 released

The plot premises were relatively original, but somehow the stories just felt flat. Probably because the pacing was off - As is often the case with oneshots, the pace was too fast, and there was no room for character development. As I was reading the first story, I was thinking of rating this manga only 1 star, but after reading all of the stories, I'll rate it 3 stars. There's another manga, 'Kinpeibei Kinden Honoo no Kuchizuke', which is a sequel of the last - and best - story in this manga, so I do want to read it. I'm trusting that it'll be better, as it's longer.
