Brother (Ougi Yuzuha)
So this is what happens when your denied release huh? Lol ( *`ω´) Though your basic drama with a lot of banging in the mix. Oh and the art does improve over time.
Ginza Neon Paradise
A wonderful Showa era historical drama, sexy, intriguing and romantic. Childhood friends were seperated during the war to be finnaly reunited four years later and need to figure out what they are to eachother. Beautiful.

Cried so much I had to stop because I couldn't see the pages. An incredible story that completely destroys you, heart wrenching and so engaging you won't want to put it down until you see how it ends. There are some really detestable characters that I just can't forgive or understand, but for the most part it takes you into the head of the bad guy and you see inside them what drove their actions and how they think and how they change and overcome. It's painful and hopeful and ends much like real life with so many possibilities. It truely touched me and although I've gotten used to the concrete formulaic endings, I appreciate the vague ambiguity of the future.
Ao Haru Ride
After finishing the anime, I had to find out what comes next. Wow, this is a rich story of a group of friends, filled with drama and angst.
Inu to Tsubame
This was just so amazing. What a great story that was sad,happy and even scary. It touched on so many heavy topics in an approachable way. The art was amazing and just so so so cute! Oh and the chibi's are too charming for words.
Kawaige
The chraracters are really compelling not every couple is likable but it keeps your attention. The first couple was my favorite, quit cute. I wish it was just their little family.
The Baker on the First Floor
The way this is unfolding is sorta confusing but interesting. Did not see that coming at all, plot twist. I really like his classmate, he's so pretty! So, that's why he freaked about the haircut, now he doesn't look like the one that got away? Does he actually care for him at all I wonder. And did he actually grow out of that scariness or is it just hidden? Man, this a story of effed up relationships. Update: So that ended unexpectedly soft. Huh... I like You Jin the best, thank god he was alive I really thought he died. I hate the sunbae, he’s seriesly messed up.
Kokoro O Korosu Houhou
Holy shit, that was fucked up. It breaks you in pieces and spits you out. This is a dark heavy psychological drama about a man repeatedly raped by his new stepbrother until it breaks him and there's almost nothing left. He almost had a chance to make it out but that was destroyed. The continual assault results in consuming hate, anger, self loathing and disgust that has turned him numb and self destructive. A tale of an abuse victims psyche. Like this was not what I was expecting and it's so fucking sad and upsetting but it is a good story. That art is good and the drama is unfolding in a very scary way. Please save Haruki, anyone.
