Love Like Crazy

Could have been really good but there were some things that were really annoying. The girl is why too stupid, making rash decisions without fully understanding the situation. Dating one guy then also "going out" with another. What the hell, make up your mind. Because of her, the relationship was even worse between the brothers. And for the other brother Ha Jin, I actually feel more pity for him. His father initially never cared for him. Then his mom dies. Then his father dies (though it may be his fault), then he always hear crap and gets beating from the grandma. He deserved better, a definitely a better ending. That was messed up. Also, the ending was too abrupt. It definitely could benefit from another few chapters.

Taiyou No Ie

Complete | taamo | 2010 released

I absolutely enjoyed it. The hardships each person went through, the innocent and pure love that slowly blossomed. It really had my heart flutter. It's a manga, I know, but regardless, I wish Mao and Hiro happiness, and I wish that Daiki finds someone he loves. Just like what Mao had said, he's a really sweet guy despite being too blunt and sometimes mean. I really, really enjoyed it.

Wild Ones

Complete | fujiwara kiyo | 2000 released

It's quite a funny manga. The story certainly doesn't depict the life of a true yakuza, because this family is very friendly and giving. The only mean part is when they give a scary expression but that's it. They're sweethearts. The story however, could use a little more drama, I thought it was really light hearted, so if that's the goal then I suppose the author did a good job. However, because there were drama and hardships in the manga, I thought those could have been better presented. It didn't show how emotional and tragic those circumstances truly, just a glimpse of its true nature. So those parts were taken rather for granted and not given enough depth, which could have enhanced and engaged the reader more. If I could give a 4.5, I'd give that. But because there isn't, I suppose I'll lean towards 5, since 4 seems a little too unfair.

Short story about a girl being nervous in front of the camera as a model. Her boyfriend that is an ex model helps her out. During the process, he falls in love with modeling again and they both do it together. Nothing great. Ok read.

Ten no Ryuu Chi no Sakura

Complete | Sumomo Momo | 2007 released

This was such a good read! Trying to resurrect the dragon king and dragon clan, while falling in love. The Yoiyami was such a sweet dragon/person throughout the story. Although he did first think about the clan before all else by giving the fruit to Sakura. Nonetheless, it was totally a sweet, cute and romantic story! I want more of this type!

The Prince's Cactus

Complete | xu ci | 2000 released

This was such an enjoyable, laughable story! I love the characters and the story development was not bad at all! They didn't just one short moment after seeing each other then falling in love like typical shoujo manga, where in this case Dan (the female) was strong willed and didn't go all butt crazy. Elian had to work for it, since he was so arrogant and a jerk in the beginning. A re-read is not out of the question!

Pinocchio Manhwa

Complete | maru | 2009 released

I enjoyed this story so much! There were some scenes that were so tear-jerking! It's of course a supernatural story, but it had a certain realism to it, and the drama felt real. The depth, pain, hilarious scenes and everything in between were awesome. I can continue to read this forever! So disappointed it ended, yet very satisfied with the ending. Well, I do wish there was a little more romance shown between Gaon and Haram at the end, but nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed it. I originally thought Haram and Hanbit would be together, and I felt really bad for Gaon because I enjoyed his character so much. To my surprise I realized that my wish for Gaon and Haram came true. It was a great twist in the plot about Gaon!! I wish all the other guys happiness!! A reread!

Wedding Season 2

Complete | lin yu chin | 2000 released

I really enjoyed this! Story of married couple slowly gaining trust for each other, going through family problems and facing the obstacles. The characters were all great! Great series to re-read!

Nobara no Hanayome

Complete | toyota yuu | 2008 released

Why? Why did it end like that? No official marriage, no children, no continuation? I was quite a cute story, and I enjoyed it. However, I wish that the beginning of each chapter was not a summary of her current situation. It was a bit annoying, sorry. But Kuze is a sweety and Yamada was a strong girl, though she is a bit insecure at times which could be annoying. At the same time, it is somewhat understandable too.

Nageku Shinigami

Complete | Miyuki Mitsubachi | 2008 released

It was good, it had potential, but it was too short. God I hate short stories for this, especially when they could be so much more. The only thing that I found a little off was the maturity of an 8 year old. I suppose she's been through a lot, but it's so hard to believe how mature she, and Rondo is. I actually was hoping that Rondo could also turn into a human and they'd meet each other. That would have been awesome, but no, that didn't happen.
