Shimanami Tasogare

This is really beautiful. Visually and story wise. I found it really comforting - emotional, but comforting. I really didn't want this to end so soon but it has, and it was beautiful. I've never read a manga with such amazing representations and portrayals of LGBTQ+ characters. The characters feel so real and their feeling are presented so wonderfully in the art - I often caught myself being in awe at certain pages' art.

Koko wa Ima kara Rinri desu.

Stopped reading, 2B picked up again. Not bad. A thought-provoking manga. There's a lot of emotions attached to each student, you see their lives and you understand and relate to them. It's good and refreshing to see a teacher and adult (although fictional) be so understanding and non-judgemental to younger people. Certainly, this manga is rather niche, the characters are unusual, not unbelievable per se, but they're quite unique. There were some moments and characters that made me raise my brow and some moments that didn't sit quite right with me but overall? It's fine. The art style isn't extremely out-of-the-ordinary, but the composition and execution is wonderful. Would definitely reccomend.

Holy shit this is soooo fucking cute. Stupidly cute couple dynamic and stupidly cute storyline. I love myself a sweet tender romance and babe? THIS IS IT! The drama was present but not frustrating and highly realistic. Damn, I fell in love with these characters! It's a really refreshing read after reading a lot of very serious mangas. Ugh, CUTE. SO fucking cute.

Ongoing, Ch. 13. It's not masterpiece, but it's silly, stupid, cute. Watching pretty and cool people stumble was never more endearing and funny haha. It's light-hearted and easy to read, definitely a comfort read for me.

Ongoing, U2D. Kind of slow, but really decent visuals. Love the style of the author. THIS SHOULD BE A GL, the FL and "FL" are so cute, friendship or romantic l, I wish they would end up together but I know they won't :/ slow plot lines are hard for me to endure so, not my favourite thing to read. I don't hate it since it has its cute moments.

I don't read BL super often but hawt damn, this was the perfect balance of sweetness, drama and realism! SPOILER I do feel like story-wise, who the MC (sorry I don't remember names lol) ends up with doesn't really make sense. We spent so much time with the 2nd love interest and their friendship/relationship just makes sense by the ending but they don't end up together? It felt like a betrayal... the reader is just not as invested in the main love interest once they get together, it makes SENSE because its the MC's crush, but as a reader, I'm not sold on it? They don't have nearly as much chemistry!

One of mangas I read back on mangarock lol, nothing revolutionary or anything but it doesn't need to be. Easy, comfy read. Had a good time reading, loved seeing the sisters' dynamic and the delicious food!
