OnlyMes's manga / #Beautiful Art(45)

Are they swimming with their school uniforms on? Outside of that, this short story was very cute. But I guess anything from this author is cute. I'm not a fan of stories left hanging at the end for readers to come up with their own conclusion of what's going to happen, but honestly, it doesn't make it a bad read, I'm just the type of person who likes closure. Even so, I still thought this yuri was very well done. This author always does such a good job making the readers experience the emotion their characters are conveying, and above anything else, that's what I really enjoy the most about reading their works. The mood, the tone, the scenery, everything always fits so perfectly together for the story that's being told and this author has yet to miss that mark when it comes to storytelling. It's a shame most of their works are one-shots, a lot of them deserve so much more than a chapter.

Oh my God, I have a wave of emotions going through me right now! This story is absolutely beautiful, I was holding back tears over the symbolism! I have no words, it feels like even trying to leave a review is so hard to do for me at the moment because of the emotions I've expressed while reading through this. Love is such a beautiful thing, and too much love could be a dangerous weapon. You have to be willing to sacrifice for the ones you love, but even those who love you can hurt you and still love you. There is so much that can be taken from this story, absolutely phenomenal story telling, the theme of this story fit so incredibly well with an angel having their wings cut off. I really can't express the sheer amount of emotions this story sent me through, the shock, the sadness, the heartfelt moments, and the softness of the art style made this unforgettable. I've always rated this author with pretty high marks for the artwork and originality with these one-shots alone, but this story put me into a place I never thought a yuri would put me in. I don't believe any other one-shot will ever be as beautifully written as this one, I have genuine tears in my eyes. I can't put into words how stunningly beautiful this story was, this is definitely one you do not want to skip over!

As always, beautiful art and wonderful, unique story. I honestly didn't see the ending coming, but it was a fitting end for the princess, I believe. I've noticed that Murasakino likes to leave endings up in the air for most of their one-shots, but this one was pretty cut dry. As much as I wanted to give this a higher rating, I wanted to be fair and not rate it off of how much I love this author and more on what the story gives me. In the end, it was still a great story, just lacking in context here and there and the typical feeling I get when reading their works, I just didn't get from this one. For anyone wanting to read it though, you won't regret it nonetheless.

Cute and easy to read one-shot, the characters as so nicely drawn and I love the color scheme used for the lighting. The story showed all too real realities of where our minds can take us when we're with someone we love. I really love the fact too that the lighter haired girl never gave any thought to what's real or what's fake until the dark haired girl asked her why she wasn't afraid because even if what they're watching is fiction, it can resonate with you and make you think about the people in your reality. It wasn't scary for the lighter haired girl until she saw her lover in that situation, that was so beautiful. Always love the storytelling from this authors short stories, they're always done so well. Definitely a simple, yet good read that surprisingly pulls on your heart strings just a tad bit at the end.

Wow wow wow. I knew the author of these stories could get a little dark, but I greatly overestimate the tragedy tag. Even though, my God I still enjoyed reading through it. The chapter with Miki and her childhood crush was so amazing, that plot twist at the end had me speechless, I had to go back to reread the entire chapter over again just to make sure I wasn't confused. I got literal chicken skin when I made it to the end of that chapter and realized what actually was happening. Like I've always said when rating these kinds of works, this author does a PHENOMENAL job telling such thrilling and interesting stories with just a one-shot. The sheer amount of raw emotions I was experiencing reading through some of these stories is unmatched, and the fact that the author can give me that with just 15 to 20 pages of art to tell such a breathtaking story is incredible. Anyone who can rate these stories anything less than 5 stars likely just underestimated the tragedy tag because, like myself, you wouldn't think art this cute and innocent looking would hold darker meanings. But for the people who enjoy that kind of genre and take the tags to heart, I can't see them rating this anything but 5 stars.

Beautifully written love story about longing and regret. The reverse transition in the second part was surprising, but I loved how their roles were reversed, then, and only then did the senpai understand how she felt. That love, that longing, the unwillingness to leave no matter how many times you get hurt, this is raw love. I hate so much that the younger girl had to get hurt so many times until she became a version of herself she resented in her senpai, it's such an ironic story that was amazingly written. I love this author so much, the twists, surprises, tragedies in all their short stories are always so well done. Wonderful job.

A bit difficult to understand with the first read through, but still a beautiful story. Longing for someone so much that, instead of wishing for that person to love you in return, you wish to be a version that person will love, even if it ends up hurting you. This was a beautiful portrayal of true, genuine love, but not all love has happy endings I'm afraid. I can't fathom loving someone so much that I'm willing to change myself, give myself away, for a chance to be recognized. The ending had me only slightly confused, I get the symbolism, I just didn't understand why the nurse ended up the same way as the student. Was that also her wish, even though she never understood the feeling of love even until the very end? This melancholic story left me feeling empty. Not in a bad way, not in the slightest, I just hoped for a more sweeter ending- which I know is a lot to ask for coming from this author. This story wasn't bad at all, I felt a wave of sadness near the end, but the story was so magnificently told that a sad ending didn't make me regret reading it. Beautiful storytelling, beautiful character traits, beautiful artwork. Another fantastic piece from this author.

Had to give this one the dreaded 4 star rating because, personally, I'm not a fan of the "we both have feelings for each other but neither of us will say anything about it and continue to hurt each other" cliché. It's so overused and it's so hard to make a good, original story when that trope is the premise of the plot. Not to say that the read was boring, just predictable. I would love to see where they end up in the future, I know this particular author has a thing for tragic endings though so I should be a little relieved that their future is basically left up to the readers. I've read nearly all of the Mangas by this author available to me and they are easily a favorite of mine, the stories are always pleasant to read, the characters are cute, and the artwork is absolutely amazing, so coming from a biased standpoint, this story- even with the cliché- is still well written. I love all the tiny little twists the author puts in their work, it always has me going back to reread it when I've reached the end just so it gives me a different perspective. As always, beautiful work.

Another wonderful one-shot by the author. This story hits me so hard because I can absolutely relate to the girl with the lighter hair. She fell in love with the girl with the black hair, she loved everything about her, her good and her bad sides, she genuinely loved her and accepted all of her, but once someone starts to change- even for the better- can you say that you love that person the same as when you first fell in love with them? This is such a heart wrenching story to me because I can sympathize with both sides, the darker haired girl because she wanted to become a better version of herself so she wouldn't worry the person she loves, and the lighter haired girl because those traits the dark haired girl is trying to fix are the very traits that made the lighter hair one love her truly, and she couldn't possibly tell her to stop fixing herself. She wanted someone to care for, I believe that's where her love came from, but when that's no longer needed, what's to be done? She was genuinely hurt to have to leave her, but leaving her would be for the best because if all she wanted was to be relied upon while the other person wanted to become more independent, their relationship was bound to have failed. Bittersweet love story, phenomenal storytelling, and breathtaking artwork, this one shot was a delight and heartache to read.

I liked the story and the art, it had a great original plot that you don't see in most yuris. Loved Jeongwon's character. The design to the personality, she gave my brain happy chemicals every time I saw her. Jisoo was such a great match for her, their dynamic went so well together, from the very beginning I felt like they were the perfect match. Hwayeon, however... well, I guess her character was made specifically for her to be disliked, and that's understandable. She was a crooked character from the start who only really ever cared for herself and what other people could provide for her. When Jeongwon started getting attracted to Jisoo, I don't believe Hwayeon's reaction came from genuine concern or fear of losing a friend/ fuck buddy. I think she knew she was going to lose a reliable source of money, living space, and attention. Most of the problems that Jisoo and Jeongwon faced before they even started dating was because of Hwayeon, so as a character who is suppose to be the antagonist, she was written really well, I just wish she had more of a redemption. Overall, this was a fantastic read, the characters are relatable and cute, the scenes are beautiful, the tone and mood of the NSFW scenes are done at a great pace (not too many, not too few), this one will be going to my list of rereads because I genuinely enjoyed nearly every chapter.
