Don't Call Me Dirty
This was way too precious--and, moving. Did a fascinating job dealing with the homeless and elderly bit. It was a little dark, but I liked that.
Don't Call Me Daddy
This is the perfect ending to this series!!!! I knew when he called him mama in the other story they'd end up together!!!!!!!
#ove: 4-page Anthology ~At that moment, I fell in love!~
Adorable.
Like Two Peas in a Pod
Nakata and Tanaka always were similar. Throughout the seasons, this takes us on their emotional journey to love. It is touching. I liked the friendship that developed between Nakata and his book club friend, Futaba. She was a good friend. The other chick ended up pissing me off. She was almost as stupid as Tanaka. The melancholy runs deep throughout this.
Hige to Suzu to Shabondama
It's a little ominous in the beginning, but the author's note makes clear it was supposed to have been a story of living after loss, but she had changed her mind and it became cute.
Mad Dog
This is impressive as hell. Not surprising, given the author. I love their dynamic and I love how each (like in "A Thousand Cranes") is their equal. My favorite, though, is knowing things from the dark-haired boy's point of view. That was amazing.
Monotone Blue
This exceeded my expectations. It was a beautiful, melancholy story. The whole tail thing was sad, but lovely and the artist really understood cat behaviors, which I liked. The cat looks identical to mine.
