It's My First Time, but I'm in Front of a Camera!
Daraku Kazoku-ron
they go so well with each other despite the differences of their personalities, I'm so excited for their relationship (the three of them) to develop as a true family. why did it also have to end in such a cliffhanger ! surprisingly him being a yakuza was very important to the plot. i just know he's gonna realize how much he cares for the two. and speaking of, touma & sentarou is getting there!!
Koisuru Psycho no Shirayuki-kun
shirayuki got that dan hiroki realness in him omfg. i just hope mc won't act all heroic once he finds out that shirayuki killed his bullies to date him and end up hating him. probably the only yandere i approve of
Shitto wa ai o Kumoraseru
Nagisa Eiji's works are always chef's kiss idc idc. from Kabukicho Bad Trip to this—their always so good at making imperfect but charismatic male leads and give them partners that will help them navigate their struggles in life. their relationship is so healthy even vegetables are ashamed. (i actually got a bit mad towards the ML during the angst scenes)
My Broken Mariko
this manga will always have a place in my heart (REAL) from the art to the story line. shii-chan's love for mariko is beyond romantic love. even at the end, shii-chan fought for her and gave her the freedom she wanted when she was alive. i love their friendship so much i cannot stress this enough ToT
Mascara Blues
I DID NOTTT EXPECT THE LAST STORY !! but i loved it anyway, first few was so-so to me but i admire the female mc's. the last story just takes the cake, i like the ending because they didn't immediately get into a relationship, i liked that, pretty realistic.
The Prisoner in the Miniature Garden
Soloist of the Prison
i like that they didn't portray her as a killer who lost morals along the way. the fact that she killed her opponents in a way that they wouldn't feel pain and she carries the guilt of killing them just to pave the way and meet his brother. i really loved the ending :(( i also wonder how did locke know that she was his sister, or did he recognize her at first glance because he had that hazy memory of her dancing for him.
