nobile's manga / #cute(495)

What a beautiful story. The art might have looked weird at times but the story, character development, and pretty much everything else makes up for it by leaps and bounds. I can't say I'm personally close to anyone that's hearing impaired, so I'm not 100% certain that their representation is not just accurate but also tactful. Nevertheless, I have the feeling that they handled things tastefully and compassionately. At the very least, the mangaka managed to write a touching story that can inspire people to make the extra effort to understand those who are different than them. I truly loved it. It'd be great if "another time" came and we could get the younger siblings' story (:

Kind of cute, they sort of seemed to introduce things that could have been further elaborated. I was SO close to tears when the father introduced himself and he had all those "Protect Kotoko" cheering things, slightly disappointed there wasn't more drama.

The second story was way too funny for me, Tarou was just too much x)

A teacher decides to go out of his way to help out his student and her little brother, changing both their lives and his for the better. Oh man, what can I say.... This one's one of those "completely complete" mangas,. The story leaves nothing feeling lacking, the romance here has the perfect pace nothing feels rushed or boring. OH BOY TEPPEI!! That kid, I can't think of any other ototo that is as perfect as that child. Actually there's a one-shot spin-off about Teppei when he's older, it's cute too :) http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/junes_lily_bravado/ I really wish Sensei made a spin-off series, whether using Teppei as MC when he's older (after that oneshot, hopefully with more "guest appearances" from this couple) or this couple now in their married life, maybe with a new member introduced... Or heck, even using Shouma and Meg-chan living in the States (and tube visiting or being visited by their friends/family in Japan). I just really liked all the characters and don't want to part :P

Teppei is now a handsome and sweet teenager, coaching his school's judo team. Sequel/side-story to http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/faster_than_a_kiss/ Adorable one-shot, kind of wish it was slightly longer... this is definitely more Slice of Life than Faster Than a Kiss, there was a lot that I didn't feel made sense or was explained properly. Or maybe I just want to see more about sweet-Teppei :D Still, it's cute and adorable and I'm really liking this author's stories :)

The secret child of a famous actress, Tamako is now finally able to live near her mother, after being apart for 10 years. To protect her mom's career and her casting agency's future, she is forced to live at the agency's President's house, alongside his son, 2 years older than Tamako, and the boy who had promised her to marry her, if she grew strong and stopped being a crybaby (from back when she was separated from her mother). Another wonderful story by this mangaka. Well rounded in every way, makes you wish there was more but without feeling like it's lacking. It really is great. I hope Yukiya managed to be together with that other actress, I think their personalities would complement well.

While having such an amazing story, WHY IN THE WORLD is there not a sequel telling the events for their [possible] future together?? Everything about this story is awesome, the characters, the humour, the fantastical universe, their rationalisation for their form of "magic", the art... everything. //frustrated

Kind of nice story, didn't bring anything new or special, the art was between okay and strange I couldn't make up my mind...

Story about girl working on her mission to become a witch, and the boy studying to become a wizard, when both are forced to live together and must learn about love and relationships. I must day, lovey-dovey Aoi looked absolutely adorable. I kind of wish I could've seen more of that gentle side of him. It was a bit difficult to follow on some parts due to bad English, but the art was really nice and the story was well thought out.

Story about a spoiled princess and the prince disguised as a princess that falls in love with her to the point of becoming her servant just so she would stay with him. Personally, I think Akira was far too good for Mayuri. She was spoiled an immature, and he just spoiled her even more; honestly, it didn't really seem like there was much character development on her side. Still, Akira was so completely devoted to her, sadly it's not something that you can find in the real world :/ I'm a sucker for Gender Benders, I remember watching this anime called Maria + Holic or something like that, it was a very similar premise but somehow I didn't quite fall for it, so I started reading this a bit skeptical... I'm really glad that Akira was a far better character than Maria. I really do want to see more of these two, little princess there was annoying but not terribly so... not enough to sour the reading experience :) I do love this mangaka's art style.
