Devils Line
️Anzai, half vampire, and Tsukasa, a normal school girl. Vampires seem to be living among humans. Of course the government does not know of their existence, because their appearance does not differ from humans. They also do not need to drink blood, but when they get a craving or get angry, they can become uncontrollable monsters.️ 》 Great, compelling story that got me hooked right away!! It's definitely one of the most thrilling vampire stories I've ever read. The plot is intriguing and both MC have interesting personalities. I really like Tsukasa. And Anzai, who seemed scary at first, is actually super cute and hot! Despite the dark ambience, they're so adorable together! I love their interaction, chemistry and their cute, sexy moments of intimacy. Adapted to Anime
Shimanami Tasogare
[[LGBT-themed Seinen]] ️Being a work by the author of Nabari no Ou, I was so drawn to read it! After finishing it, I say that it totally lived up to my expectations! I'm so amazed at such a great work. I loved the setting, the plot, the characters, the art, the whole atmosphere...you know, simply everyting! It was an interesting and enchanting reading...I was so immersed that I read it all at once! Indeed another masterpiece by sensei! And it's one of the best LGBT-themed story I read so far!️ P.s. I really wanted to see more of Touma and Tasuku! But I'm still quite satisfied, after all! Even if they're not together at the end of the story, with Touma having said to Tasuku that he can't respond to his feelings for now (and that's understandable), one can see that they are on really good terms now and they got so much closer, with Tsubaki telling Tasuku to call him Touma, his first name! So one can expect / think that at some point they will get together!

Unique couple! While being a oneshot, the story was refreshing and captivating! It totally managed to catch and keep my attention till the last page! I admit that as a greedy reader I'd have loved if the story was longer, but at the same time I think it's good exactly as it is, so I can't wish for more.
Hotman
// Complete // - 15 Volumes (Complete). Such a funny reading! And it also had its share of touching dramatic moments. All in all, a great family story! It was so entertaining and heart-warming. The romance component was great as well, although it wasn't the focus. And I also really like the art style. Anyway, it's truly such a pleasant reading! Just a little time to get things started and warming up that it really grows on you, especially because the characters were so amusing and lovely. Hotman in its simplicity and genuineness is really a masterpiece! (Btw, it's such a pity that there isn't an anime adaptation for this! I really wish there was!) > At least here the pages aren't cut at the bottom: mangakakalot.so / comic / hotman Adapted to Live-action: • Hotman (2003) • Hotman '04 Spring Special (2004) • Hotman 2 (2004) Side Story: Hotman 2003 (not scanlated) Spin-off: Chinatsu no Uta - Enzo appears in a few scenes as a teacher at the elementary school the protagonists of the story, Chinatsu and Fuyuki, go to. Towards the end, Nanami appears as well, saying to Chinatsu she had transferred to that school before her to recuperate better in a place with clean air. So the story is set a few years after the events of Hotman. At some point, maybe when Nanami's condition got better, Enzo and Nanami probably transferred back to their homeplace, where we see them in fact at the very end of Hotman, after the 10 years time skip.

Emma
A really nice story! Such a pleasant reading! I enjoyed both anime and manga. For those like me who like historical stories and, you know, to watch period drama and such, in particular a victorian-era romance like this, I totally recommend it! Personally, I really liked the whole atmosphere / setting of the story and the cast of characters! And, above all, I really appreciated the author's care for details: one can see the efforts she put into research! > Note: Vol. 8-10 are "Emma: Further Tales". They fill in details from the manga, both before and after the events in that storyline. Adapted to Anime
