To You, The Immortal

Ongoing | ooima yoshitoki | 2016 released

I started out with the anime not know anything about it, and I must say that I fell in love with Fushi and everything about the plot and concept. It has many plot twists, and the readers never really know what will happen next. It's so fucking sad, and I've cried my eyes out many times. Some people think being immortal is one of the best things that could ever happen (in terms of superpowers), but this manga really shows how lonely everything gets at some point.

The Specific Heat Capacity of Love

Complete | Old Xian, Moss | 2012 released

SUMMARY [A girl goes to the seaside on her class field trip and accidentally meets a mysterious handsome boy, after talking, she hears a dramatic story about a bird and fish, finally the kind girl decides to help the bird fulfill its last wish.] I never expected a story this short to leaves such a big impact on me. I almost shed a tear reading this. This is truly beautiful - would definitely recommend for anyone who just needs a good, old cry.

Blue Lust

Complete | Hinako (ひなこ) | 2015 released

SUMMARY [On a hot summer afernoon, Hayato meets the new transfer student name Souma, who has not been able to adapt to the new environment. Hayato always manages to be in Souma's sight, and thinks he will be able to take care of him. The familiar touch allows Souma to familiarize with the environment, until he's able to smile once more. All the while Hayato tries to fix things from his past.] 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).

Usagi no Mori

Ongoing | Enjo | 2018 released

SUMMARY [Shunta and Tamaki are childhood friends with a year of difference, but Shunta feels something different towards his friend, an impure, not correct, dirty feeling. As this feeling grows stronger, will the relationship between the two friends also change ...?] 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. (I was hoping for some ace representation, too).

Kiss me, Liar

Complete | Zig | 2019 released

SUMMARY [As a secretary, is there anything more tragic than having a crush on your boss? What's more, this boss is a big Alpha doctrine. What age does he still engage in sexism and refuse male Omega! Just when Yeon Woo thought that his bitter secret love was going to end in vain, he found out that the boss who looked down on him secretly took care of everything for him. After the heat cycle he not only show resistance, but also made his body really hot...] I dropped this one halfway through. I lost interest, and couldn't bring myself to finish it, even if I kept an open mind. What happened to Yeon Woo is heartbreaking, and I will never forgive Keith for reacting the way he did. I can't overlook it, even though he a few good moments. Reminder: this is not for everyone, so proceed with caution.

Signal 100

Complete | Miyatsuki arata,Kondou shigure | 2019 released

SUMMARY [A group of high school students were spending their peaceful days freely until they have been chosen as the participants of the game where everyone is being hypnotized until they commit suicide. No one is safe from a sudden death, so what will they do to avoid their fates?] I've been sitting, trying to collect my thoughts on this manga, but I'm speechless. I started reading this a couple of months ago, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of a lack of interest. I'm so happy I did, though. This was full of plot twists, and I had no idea what to expect, nor what would happen next. This manga will make you question everything, seriously, EVERYTHING! It plays mind games with you like no other piece of fiction I've ever read. This was such a thrilling reading experience, but keep in mind that non-consensual acts do take place in this manga. Proceed with overall caution.

Living Will

Complete | mina (미나),ziho | 2019 released

SUMMARY [Jeanne, a prostitute at address 74, took care of the fallen Janet. Jeanne wants to be friends with Janet, but Janet tries to get information out of her.] 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.
