See you later, Mermaid

Complete | HAYANE Dento | 2019 released

this was ... beautiful. i started this with a lot of questions, but as the story goes on, they were eventually given answers. i am absolutely in awe with the plot and how it was written. having a one and only secret and your one and only childhood friend knowing about it, and everything just started, happened, and concluded through it. this was just very unique and is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time :') i love the use of magical realism in this! such a great way of storytelling which was just so mesmerizing to read. definitely one of my best reads! reread: 230201, i forgot how much this made me feel... i am still so deeply overwhelmed by the beauty that is this story <3

Itsuka Tomodachi Ja Nakunaru To Shite Mo

Complete | Uka Kasai | 2012 released

i think this is the first time i read a manga that contains a big family, i wouldn't say i'm not particularly fond of it (cause when our families get together, i think we also become like this? lol) but i think this was just something new for me to see in a manga. i loved how genuine their bond is and it was heartwarming to see them being so supportive and immediately accepting them in the family. the line "now he's a genuine part of the family, huh?" i'm so !!!!!!! aaaa this was such a gem, the couple were so adorable too :( from childhood friends to lovers <3 (also, the brother has some big brother complex, eh? lol yikes ><)

He Is Beautiful

Complete | Tenzen Momoko | 2000 released

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

Hito Wa Sore O Koi To Yobu

Complete | akiba touko | 2000 released

ahhh this was just precious :') this is another story that is connected to the timeline of aoi and ayuma's story, 'Sono Koi ni wa Wake ga Aru' (i would say this is the prequel) and is about aoi's bestfriend, tominoga and the student council president, sakuma. we were able to see how the two develops their relationship while also focusing on friendships, school, work, and so on. i really liked tominoga and aoi's friendship sm like they're just so understanding of each other, yk? i also like how aoi always have either sparkles or flowers around him whenever he shows up lmao xD anw yeah, this was also a fun read! their relationship was just healthy and i also really liked their dynamics! really enjoyed this series a lot :) <3

Bokura no Shokutaku

Complete | Mita Ori | 2000 released

AHHHH this was so heartwarming!! it made me so emotional like it just has all the elements that i want in this kind of trope. this particular line "loving someone is also about carrying the pain of losing them." really moved me. this one just has all the feels, i love them so much (++ the timeskip made me more T^T) <3

Okaeri Aureole

Complete | takamatsu misaki | 2019 released

ah, i really enjoyed this one. childhood friends with unrequited love is quite a common trope per se but in this, the author took a realistic approach in delving onto this story. i really liked how the confession scene was and how the response wasn't abrupt but instead, they really think it through and not just dive into a relationship hastily. it was quite bittersweet but i still really liked it! really sweet love <3 i just wish we could've seen more from them in the future, yk? haha >< indeed, "it's natural to laugh. to change. to maintain. to forget. to remember. just like that." :') reread: 220414 :) 230623 !

Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!

Complete | Syundei | 2000 released

AHHHH THIS IS SO CUTE!!! i really enjoyed this especially how it's just so youthful and adorable! even though there's no real romantic development between them, it was still nice and fulfilling to see nakamura finally becoming friends with hirose and their relationship deepening. it's great to see how the former can now finally show his true self with the latter despite his shyness and all that aaa this was just heartwarming (´∩。• ᵕ •。∩`)
