When The Cicadas Stop Crying Webtoon
first of all, i loved how accurate i was in my predictions >< anyways,, this was such a soft and light-hearted story. it's not laced with so much unnecessary dramas which i really enjoyed. this type of stories just makes my chest warm and i also loved how regardless of how short it is, the emotions were still so greatly portrayed, the feeling of unrequited love that is so so painful, the regrets, the acceptance and finally— the love. aaaa i love this sm :((( they really deserve each other, huh? so precious :') re-read: 230607 :')
Tasogare Outfocus
wow, this was such an absolute gem to read! the artstyle, the plot, the pacing, the characterization, everything was just well done and executed. the line "i didn't want to became aware of a love that was over before it even started." made me feel a pang in my heart that was just so painfully good lol you get me? but yeah, i love their love so much. it was just so immense (in a good way) and genuine like you could really feel how much they feel for each other, especially the "i love you" scene pls you'll know what it is once you read this! i also loved how they talked about their life, their relationship, their future and things like that like "i need to be happy for them and send all my good wishes to the person i love." omg!?!!?? that was such a mature line and i am just so here for it! you can really see how well written this is aaa i totally enjoyed this one! definitely worth the read!

He Is Beautiful
ahhh i have this opened in my tabs for a while now and i just decided to read this today and i'm so so glad for making that decision. this was absolutely such a beautiful read! had me literally smiling in just the first chapter which made me more enthusiastic in continuing it! both characters are really written well. i just loved how mature they are in the way they are so considerate to one another, especially michi. it was so heartwarming to read how he made yoshika realize how he's also capable of making decisions by himself and not just always do it for michi. i also really liked yoshika's character and how he held such a sense of desperation of love for michi, you can really see and feel how much he loves the other so much, and then the latter does too later on :') the way they feel for each other was just so mesmerizing to read and it was also so nice to see how supportive their friends, coworkers, and manager are <3 aaaa the longing, the angst, the push and pull, the slow burn !!! i've read some people's comments saying that the pace was too slow but for me, it's just right! i really can't get enough of them, i swear. i lliterally had to put my phone down once in a while just to contain my feelings bc of how much i'm getting so kilig over them haha>< this is just one of those rare mangas you'll come across to like, this is seriously one of my best reads. like i said, i literally couldn't get enough of them !! it was such a beautiful beautiful story all throughout. i'm absolutely so glad that i came across this and that i decided to read it. 10/10 would recommend reading AND! also rereading <3
Rumspringa no Joukei
i had to put this off back in february bc i know it would be too heavy for me at that time but i decided to read it today bc i wanna feel something lol.... and wow, did it not disappoint me.. this was such a beautiful story ! it's one of those mangas that will literally wrench your heart but also mend it later on, and it honestly had me sobbing sm.... this was like a coming of age story and i really liked how well-written this is. it talked about real-life situations and problems people go through and that it's okay to run away. it's okay to choose what you love and what you think is best for you. it's okay to not let other people's ideas and demands shape your life and instead, you can make and lead your own path in life. i specially loved the last part wherein it showed theo looking back at his younger self and coming into terms with the fact that it's time to let go of everything and start anew. overall, it was such a painful, mature, realistic, but also, heartfelt story :')
