Gekkou Spice

Complete | saitou ken | 2000 released

Interesting set of fairytale-like stories, it doesn't really feel like any of them truly had a happy ending, "somber" might be a better word to describe them.

All the stories were truly amazing,... They ranged from cute and "sunshiny" to dark and thought-provoking. Definitely became a favourite.

Boku No Hitsugi De Bansan O

Beautiful short stories with no happy endings.

Benkyou No Jikan

Complete | Minami Touko | 2008 released

First story was kind sweet, even if the pacing felt off or a bit forced. The other two stories would have benefited from being a bit longer, it felt like they were cut 3/4 of the way into it.

I liked the story from chapters 1 and 5, even if I had read that same premise before... Story from chapter 4 wasn't bad, but I think it would have been better if it had ended a bit later. The stories from chapters 2 and 3 just pissed me off, selfish spoiled teenagers being jerks.

First two stories were "okay", third one made me upset, last one seemed to have been cut off before the story actually ended.

Unlike most other compilation volumes by this mangaka, I actually liked all the stories and none of the characters made me angry xD

I liked stories 1, 2, and 4 a lot. Story 3 was neat because it was "the other side" of another oneshot by Sensei, it might not seem as good without that context though. Story 5 was kind of cute but way too short.

Both girls and guys in these stories are ridiculously annoying. It's Josei, so it's aimed for women to read... Not yuri in particular, so why do they blank out men's genitalia but nothing from the girls? I mean... I have nothing against showing stuff, those were some nice boobs, but like, everyone should be treated equally... the closest they got to not censoring guys was that silly drawing of a mushroom :P

Series of love stories with happy endings. First one was perhaps the most interesting one, although I really disliked the ending. Second story felt rather generic and predictable. Third story could have been "less bad" but it ended up just as boring as the previous one. Fourth story started out fine, but it failed to achieve much afterwards, becoming just as generic as the previous two.
