katlovesfries's manga / #inner conflicts(15)

Blue Lust

Complete | Hinako (ひなこ) | 2015 released

This is a beautiful manga, and I love everything about it. Seriously, everything. The pacing is good, the characters are amazing, even with their flaws. I love that Hayato had to confront his past, and that he didn't want to run away from it anymore. Seeing his perspective on everything was really interesting, and I loved that the readers see his inner conflicts and feelings. I enjoyed how Souma and Hayato found each other again after their fall out + the little time skip at the end was everything to me. (Souma looks cute with glasses).

Efforts Never Betray

Complete | Akpa (악파) | 2000 released

This was actually so sad to read. Jaekyung constantly not thinking he's good enough, and living in fear everyday of his father is truly heartbreaking. This Manhwa is a great example of the consequences of parents who have too many expectations of their children. The ending really sits with me - it really shows how much damage Jaekyung's father has done along with his mother leaving him when he was a child. Amazing but heartbreaking all at once.

Usagi no Mori

Ongoing | Enjo | 2018 released

I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone.

Ookami Shounen To Hamu No Hito

Complete | mentaiko | 2000 released

I really like that this oneshot puts focus on not feeling safe with coming out to your friends or family. My heart was breaking a bit, when the two of them couldn't be honest with each other, but the ending made me extremely happy.

Living Will

Complete | mina (미나),ziho | 2019 released

This is a short read, and overall very likeable. The relationship between Jeanette and Jeanne is super cute, but the ending made me feel so empty. I do, however, wish that the story was longer so the readers could get to know the characters even more, and just get more details about the plot and Jeanette profession in general + the more of Jeanette's and Jeanne's relationship.

Ao no Flag

Complete | Kaito | 2000 released

Such a beautiful story about love and friendship. It focuses on the complex relationship between friends and how feelings may develop as a result of said relationship. This manga is really a story that is "coming of age", and such an important piece that everyone should read. It focuses on the differences between people, but also highlights that differences and change aren't bad. Those things makes us who we are. I really enjoyed this a lot, and would recommend for anyone who is looking for something impactful and great.

Haikyuu!!

Complete | furudate haruichi | 2011 released

I love each and everyone of the characters equally. There's so much to say, but I feel no words can ever justify the feeling of reading this for the first time. The aspect of growth is something I absolutely love about this story, but also how it focuses on different people and their respective development. Hinata is a great MC, and has proven that no matter what or when you find your passion, it is possible to succeed in doing what you love.

Boku no Hero Academia

Ongoing | Horikoshi Kouhei | 2000 released

Action-based manga with an interesting plot. I love the creativity with all the different Quirks, and also all the character growth that happens gradually throughout the series. This is such a great story with such impatful plotlines and characters. Everyone should read this, in my opinion. You go into this thinking you'll read about young people training to be heroes, but that proves to be the mere tip of the iceberg.

Shingeki no Kyojin

Complete | ISAYAMA Hajime | 2009 released

I finished this back in April when the last chapter came out, and I still think about it sometimes. This manga is as good as everyone claims it to be. It's not only action-based, but it also puts focus on racism and political differences. I love the questions of "what is the right and what is wrong?" and "who are the bad guys?". This is truly a masterpiece.

Given

Ongoing | kizu natsuki,Gusari | 2013 released

This is such a great story with a focus on healing and finding oneself after feeling lost. I love the pacing and overall dynamic between all characters. The story touches upon serious ad meaningful topics and they are represented in such a beautiful way. It also shows how music brings people together. Everyone should give this a try.
