nobile's manga / #bittersweet(224)

Three bittersweet love stories: Swan Lake is about a girl that worked hard to reach her dream but in the end realised that her heart wasn't really in on it. Mermaid is about a girl that thinks too much but speaks too little, making everyone around her misunderstand her feelings and intentions. Frog Princess is a girl that already has a lot of troubles in her life, getting stuck with an even bigger troublesome guy that keeps intruding on her private life. Despite the first two stories having this sort of ambiguous ending to them, I think it was hinted that eventually they would reach that happy ending. And I think the epilogue chapter kind of confirmed it.

A man meets with his son for dinner after a long while being apart, son is troubled because of work but his dad manages to comfort him.

A vampire claims to only want to consume this one guy's blood, saying that its taste is superior to others'. The man is concerned that the only reason his blood is "special" is because he's been taking really strong medication, and that once he's cured, it will no longer be that easy.

Many stories, only the first couple of chapters were a new story; the others were stories that had already been published, or a sequel to them. Main story is about a kind boy that saves a man from a certain death out in the desert. After realising he had misjudged the boy, he offers him to go live at his place, at least until he recovers from a fever he had been having since he saved the man.

A beautiful boy will do anything to keep the man he longs for near. This man designs the shoes for his company, and the boy will wear them anywhere while doing ANY to promote his company and the shoes his most precious person makes.

A boy enrolls in a boarding school in hopes to find his brother, whom he hasn't seen since he was 4, and lost all contact with 3 years ago. While trying to find about his brother's whereabouts, he befriends a few guys that are trying to resolve a certain mystery in the school.

This is why it's so hard to see ANYTHING related to this D:

Former idol tells her girlfriend about her past in a duo idol group.

Different stories about girls that love other girls, and the stress and insecurity that comes along with it.

A girl with the gift of giving life to inanimate things is suddenly kidnapped and forced to endure living nightmares, but slowly she seems to be remembering something from her past, something that she wished to forget. I kind of wish the ending were a bit more fleshed out, I think I sort of get the gist, but it feels kind of unfulfilling in a way. CH11
