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.

The Specific Heat Capacity of Love

Complete | Old Xian, Moss | 2012 released

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.

My Childhood Friend Was a God

Complete | Ruru (menten watagashi) | 2019 released

This one made me tear up. With a few pages, a beautiful massage was conveyed. Beautiful and sad. Definitely worth reading.

Path to You

Complete | Sinran,Kisai Entertainment | 2000 released

Such a cute and loving story. I'm happy I decided to give this one a chance. This is a relatively quick read, but still manages to wrap up every plotline nicely. The pacing is good, and the development between Jensen and Niel happens in a very natural way that didn't make it seem rushed or forced. I also really enoyed reading about Jensen coming to terms with is feelings for Niel---something about was very precious to me.

I've Got a Craving

Ongoing | Obata tsunechika | 2019 released

I can already tell from the first chapter that I'm going to enjoy this one. It looks promising. Love Akitaka og Jin's dynamic so far, and the kiss was cute, too. But it's not being updated at the moment, so I'll drop it. I don't even remember what it's about.

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).

Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

A story of obsession, manipulation and isolation. I was sitting in the edge of my seat while reading this whole thing. I was constantly trying to figure out what would happen next, and was surprised over and over. It really showcases how far some people will go for the people they love, even if it’s unrequited. It’s twisted, complicated and dark. It has a happy ending, and I really liked how things were handled. The ending seemed rushed, and I wanted so much more, but I’m still very happy.

Back to School: All Grown Up

Complete | Oryu | 2000 released

A sequel and/or side story to “Back to School”. This was very cute, and felt like the cherry on top. I love that the readers get an insight to characters’ life after five years has passed. It illustrates how time heals wound, though some are deeper than others. I didn’t care for the last side story about Chiwoo and Jihuyn, but I know some people will. It just wasn’t for me as I didn’t even finish it.
