Unintentional Love Story
I was trying to figure out why I enjoyed this so much, and once I got to the mess of the end chapters, I realized it was because it was the all ages version, which honestly works so much better for trying to actually enjoy a story. That said I also just adore this couple and there's a kind of synergy with the art style that doesn't always happen. I also really appreciate how well-built the characters are: there are more nuanced portrayals to betrayal and being new to certain types of relationships that are more nuanced then I usually see, and I really enjoyed it.
Who Can Define Popularity?
I'm pretty sure I started this one once before, though I only made it a few chapters in. I went a little farther this time and was utterly charmed by the characters and the kindness that they're written with, since I came in expecting something more like comedy.
Your Dream Is Delicious
Dream demon meets and befriends a tasty snack but gets revealed before getting chance to eat. Not super into this one but I kinda want to know what's going on with the "snack" cuz there's stuff going on in the background.
Silver Girl, Crow Girl
I appreciate how this one really lured me in. I thought that girl being discriminated cuz of her hair colour was gonna be the story but she pretty much got herself out of the situation pretty immediately and the story was something else entirely. The characters were pretty evocative which was good, cuz it def leaned more on plot than anything but I wouldn't have minded spending some time with them since their looked like there was some solid world-building/backstory in there. All in all though, the kind of excellent that transcends the obvious shortcomings.
My Perverted Stalker
This one was kinda a dark horse. I thought with the beginning it would be going one way and it somehow managed to settle down and end up with a weirdly adorable relationship that honestly made me question if the first part even happened. Enjoyable but unrealistic to the point that you really gotta suspend your disbelief to enjoy it in a healthy way.
Nande Neteru Ore no Chinko Nametano
OKAY SO pretty gosh darn kinky but the couple is pretty cute and it's actually quite sweet (especially once it's explained in the last story.)
The Third Ending
This is one of those ones I liked almost immediately because of how the characters are written. Everyone is fairly normal and the situations aren't too ridiculous because the leads have fairly straightforward personalities. Gonna read the authors other work.
Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!
One of my favorite manga of all time. Just a really strong slice of life with cute characters.
Asatte ni Kiss
Undeniably sweet and wholesome and one of my favorites.
Honey, I'm Going on Strike
