Night Milk Heads

Complete | AKIYOSHI Shima | 2016 released

Eh, not that good. Really super confusing (to me at least). I kind of staggered through the story, never really sure what was going on. It felt rushed and there are SO many plot holes related to Tsubame. Really disappointed because the reviews were so positive so I was expecting something amazing.

Drip, Drip

Good read, so innocent and sweet. There was quite a lot of text that was widely spaced out which made it a little hard to read, but the writing itself was really relatable, in way that makes you feel sad (but not in a bad way? does that make sense?). The text combined with the drawings (I surprisingly really liked this author's style) made my heart clench many times throughout the story- that's how I know it's a good one. Made me get the feels, so I'm glad the ending is a happy one ~

Gorgeous art, storyline is tinged with sadness and made me feel melancholy because the thing that always gets me and makes me feel that way is lost memories. The thought of it always makes me feel an aching emptiness. It's a good story, although it was at times kind of confusing. I can't help but feel sad still :'c it was so so sweet and gentle and yet tragic even though technically a happy ending ? there's a sequel I will go read now. sorry for being repetitive

So confusing, even harder to understand than the first part of this series. Art is still beautiful but what is going on?? There are a lot of jumps and the translations are super confusing. I was just confused the whole time, for example, why is the spirit still there if Mimori is alive and awake? Ah, really disappointed. Wish it was at least as good as the first part, and tied things up in a coherent manner.

After their Break-up

it was pretty decent for a one shot. I think it has a realistic view on relationships, but I do wish it was longer so there was more room for plot and character development

At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

I forgot I read this. it wasn't my favorite, mainly because the twin brother is such a fucking asshole it made me want to pull my hair out the entire time I was reading. he made me so mad FUCK. I just felt seriously sad for the nice twin's life and couldn't really enjoy the story, which was dark and sad anyway. it's not a bad manga, and I'd actually recommend it, but I had a lot of negative feelings

Complete | TSUKIMURA Kei,ITSUKI Kaname | 2000 released

okay. wow. bear with me: I wouldn't have read this manga bc the art style isn't what I like, but someone was searching for the plot and I really wanted to read it too. I am SO glad I did. This is amazing. The story is really touching and sweet, but basically right at the beginning it made my heart hurt (in a way that shows the effective storytelling of the author~) I ADORE the main character (Yuuto). He's funny and bubbly and flirty, and he cares so much about his family that he's always acting...of course this made my heart hurt even more, because he surpassed all his emotions, and also that he's so caring.

Koi Ni Nare!

Complete | tsukimura kei,itsuki kaname | 2011 released

this is cute and it made me laugh, but it just didn't have that much depth to it tbh because the uke fell way too fast and the plot is really cliche. the prequel/ sequel (basically Nakajima's story) was much better in terms of depth and relationship development

Mou Ichido, Nando Demo

Complete | Aniya Yuiji | 2000 released

idkkk I guess it's an unpopular opinion, but I didn't like this one. everyone was raving about how amazing it is so I read the whole thing even though halfway I got really bored. pretty disappointed. also I hated the art, which made it harder to read as well. the plot was quite interesting, but it was confusing at times and the comedy was kind of 'over-the-top' so it wasn't funny. idk, I feel bad that I wasted my time.
