Ultimate Venus

Complete | shigematsu takako | 2007 released

I really enjoyed this manga. It was simple and predictable, sure, but it was cute in its own way. I do regret the fact that the relationship between Yuzu and her father was not furthered in more detail, but they did have a good relationship before knowing that he was Yuzu's father. If I were in Kagami's shoes, or even Yuzu's shoes, I don't know how to handle the relationship due to Yuzu's father's death. It is indirectly Kagami's fault, but is that enough to not warrant a relationship between the two? That is hard. In any case, I enjoyed it, though I do think that the harem thing can get pretty annoying at times, though at least they managed to be friends as compared to some other manga. My other gripe is that the possibility of Yuzu carrying out the impossible task of having all the large corporations getting on her side is unfathomable, and happened too quickly and suddenly. This part of the manga should be in further detail. However, I still enjoyed it for its simpleness.

Koizora

Complete | mika | 2007 released

The harsh reality about love and relationships. You never know where life takes you, even when you think you had it all planned. It's a cruel joke at times. Going through a disease, it was understandable that Hiro broke it off for Mika's own good. You try to give the one you love happiness, not sadness. Being with him when he is ill is a slow and painful path. Mika may not have regrets, but as the person with the illness, it's unbearable to put your loved one through it. It's selfish, but it's also selfless. I wish for Yuu's happiness because he's an incredible man, with a lot of understanding, patience, and love. I cried my eyes out, and it feels a bit swollen. This hardly ever happens. Tragic, but I enjoyed it. It's the harsh reality.

Cutie Boy

It was a cute and laughable story, but I felt that the end was rather curt and wasn't a satisfying ending. Their relationship could have been built and developed a lot more, as well as for Moon Jing, Mi-Yoo, Young-Sun. This story could use a little more character development as there was a lot more room for that. I thought Han-ah was messed up and a bit of a coward, and that she should have stood up for herself to Mi-Yoo rather than create a misunderstanding, so that was a bit annoying. But nonetheless it was still enjoyable.

Saesang Bring It On! Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2008 released

I suppose you can say that it's a typical shojo manga/manwa but there is some differences. Such that the female lead is a lot more stronger, and doe go through a lot of hardships (in addition to being broke poor). I thought the ending was quite rushed, and that was what disappointed me, despite the happy ending. The story should have elaborated more on Minwa's hearing impairment; perhaps a twist or a few years into the future where they meet up after he gets healed or something. However, I did enjoy it nonetheless.

A Tackle On My Life Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri | 2008 released

I initially enjoyed it quite a deal, however towards the later chapters I was a bit disappointed. The story progressed to fast and felt rushed, unlike the beginning chapters which on the contrary was a bit slow. I enjoyed Mia's personality initially, but similarly I felt it changed much too fast; it was not a smooth transition. The other characters, such as Joon Young could have been told in more detail, but it was again cut too short. I enjoyed his story, which led to my disappointment for such a curt ending. For this reason, I had to go with 4 rather than 5 stars.

Honggane Manhwa

Complete | hwang mi ri,Hwang Mi-ri | 2005 released

Initially the story was funny and seemed like it had potential. As the story progressed, it got more irritating. Typical harem where all the guys are in love with one girl. I felt that the relationship between the two did not warrant her deep love and affection - crying her eyes out, fainting and what not. I didn't feel a deep connection. She was strong and tough initially, but it went down hill from there. A bit typical and cliche, so I wasn't too impressed...there was potential, but that ended badly.

Sora To Hara

Complete | Nakamura Asumiko | 2009 released

A side story of Harasen with Sorano. A 22 year age gap, but it didn't feel like there was one based on their maturity and relationship. I did think that Hibiki and Aisaka is a bit too much of a push for me though. Over 40 year difference; I think Aisaka, despite his past heartbreaks, should not pursue the relationship and find someone of better match.

Kore Wa Koi Ni Fukumare Masu Ka

Asahina who unfortunately, or fortunately, has the looks of a man who's cuter than girls, but a far car from being manly. Due to this, he is relentlessly pursued by other boys in his school until Hiiragi suggests that he become Asahina's fake boyfriend to avoid all the trouble. Well what comes of that? You guessed it. Even Hiiragi fell for Asahina's cuteness! It was a really cute, fluffy story. Well worth the time reading!

The story wasn't much interesting, and the ending was a bit disappointing. And the plot, Ran chairman at age 16? Ridiculous.

It was a cute story. Naoya is certainly on the possessive side, and when it comes to Noboru he is quite impatient. I think that's what makes him cute. And his lines, he's such a gentleman when he says it!
