OnlyMes's manga / #Sweet♥(7)

Sora & Haena!

Complete | 작불 | 2019 released

Definitely not a yuri to skip. The progression of the two main characters is slow but its well worth the wait. Opposites really attract in this case, it's been a long time since I've read such a wholesome and cute manhwa. This story really gives you everything, drama, suspense, cliffhangers, comedy, ​relationship and friendship troubles- it's really worth the read if you like cute and soft yuri. Plus the side stories are NSFW so you can actually read through the whole main story in public without fear.

The Female Student and the Woman on the Same Bus

Ongoing | nagori yu | 2019 released

I gave this one 5 starts for its originality and storytelling. Very few words were exchanged between the protagonists but you didn't need words to understand the story at all. It's a very light, soft, and cute read. It's been so long since I've read something similar, and I loved every chapter. The artwork, along with the color scheme chosen for the pages, paints an incredible picture as to what time period they are in. Beautiful work, definitely wouldn't mind more chapters if the author ever felt the desire to draw more.

Easygoing Oyako

Ongoing | Taiyaki nakamura | 2019 released

At this point, I'm fully convinced the author wants to fuck their mother. Almost all their work revolvs around a daughter falling in love with her mother. That being said, I still gave this yuri 5 stars because outside of the incest (which, next to NTR, is a bottom tier genre for me personally) this manga was such a joy to read. I love to laugh so any comedy that's done right and actually makes me laugh out loud deserves high marks from me, regardless of the context. I loved the duos and the third wall breaks, I honestly don't think I would have had the stomach to read this if it wasn't for that. This artist has the potential to make some pretty phenomenal, stand-outish yuris if they ever let go of their mother complex. Overall, the story wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Every character is cute and I enjoyed scenes from every one of them, the progression (or lack of I guess) restores a little faith in me and is keeping me from dropping it- because the mother, for the most part, indulges in her daughters antics for the sake of wanting to be a better mother and not really understanding what all comes with that. Unlike their first story (1 x 1/2 My Half of You) where the mother from that story gave thought about dating and potentionally sleeping with her daughter. One other thing I don't quite like is the family tree. It seems Sayaka (the mother) married her first cousin on her dad's side and had a child (Yuuki) with him. Yeah, cultural differences, I understand, but was there any good reason to make that prominent not once, but twice so far? I hope this ends well, I like the story and the characters so far.

Honey Latte Girl

Complete | Ayu inui | 2019 released

This is how a one-shot should be done! For a short story, it was so incredibly well written! I loved the pace of the characters, the placement of tension, the mood, everything fit so well together! It's cute, it shows a development, not only that, but it gave the readers a glimpse of their future with us knowing at the very end how they both feel about each other without having to rely on fan service or cliché accidental hook-ups, this takes immense attention to detail when working on a romance one-shot so my hat's off to the author. Beautiful story, beautiful art, beautiful characters, I can't wait to read more from them in the future.

30 MINUTES.

Complete | Murasakino | 2019 released

It's hard to give fair ratings on one-shots, because there isn't really much to critique from just a few pages of context, especially one with such short dialog, however, given the small length of this chapter, it was still incredibly cute and simple to read. Not much to gather from the short conversations the two had in the story, and I personally don't care for openings where they throw you into the middle of the story without any context, but all in all I enjoyed reading through it. Cute, yet simple and I appreciate the extra page at the end focusing on the cap and the watch, it made going back to reread it a lot more detailed once you realized why a lot of senses focused on those two objects.

If It Rains Next Week

Complete | Murasakino | 2019 released

I finally realized why this artwork felt so comforting to me, it's been so long since I've read work by this author. I had forgotten all about them until a new manga just dropped by them and now I'm going back and rereading this again. Of all their short stories, this one is by far my favorite. The story is beautiful, the art is breathtaking, the scenery is phenomenally drawn, I felt like I was personally feeling the emotions of the characters while reading through this. I found myself in the process of holding back tears when I thought they wouldn't see each other again. Such an original story, I'm so disappointed that this was a one-shot, but for the author to convey the emotions, attraction, detachment, remorse, longing, regret, all of those feelings in a span of one chapter AND for it to make such a beautiful telling story from beginning to end deserves immense credit. I would love to see this story be turned into a full volume manga series, I would buy every single book.

Her ShimCheong

Complete | Seri, Bi-wan | 2000 released

I had forgotten all about this yuri, and very sad I did for a moment, but was delighted at the prospect of enjoying it again from the beginning. Absolutely phenomenal story with such depth in characters, easily a 5 star read! Great story that tackles sexism, classism, and women empowerment. How the romance was implemented was just breathtaking, to say the least. Cheong and Madam's relationship from the beginning to the end was such a Rollercoaster of emotions that was so beautifully written and worked out, I wouldn't be surprised if this yuri was in the top 10 yuris when it comes romance. We get such in depth perspectives of both these characters, not only from their childhoods, but with their relationship as well. I can't say I saw the twist near the end coming, but regardless if I did or didn't, this manhua didn't disappoint when it came to putting me on the edge of my seat nearly every chapter. It was so hard to not hit next chapter that I found myself finishing all 85 chapters in a matter of 5 days. Not only was the story for the protagonists perfectly wrapped up with no loose ends, the author also managed to give all the supporting characters the closure they deserved. I'm very happy I came across this yuri again, it simply is an amazing piece of work.
