extraterrestrial_'s manga / #slice of life(27)

This one really pulled at my heartstrings, and I don't really feel much in general, but when I read good fiction or manga, I feel everything in the world, and I really loved this. 10/10

This is hella wholesome 10/10

This was great

Beautiful, amazing, wholesome. I am so happy that I saw a video talking about this manga, and that I decided to check it out. I love the food, but I also love their relationship. I love that they talk about life in general, and that we see some of their conflict with day to day life. Like when Nomoto say's she made her lunch, and that dude was like you'd make a good wife+mother, which has nothing to do with her love for cooking. And when Kasuga was at the restaurant and the man gave her a smaller rice portion, or when that guy told her about the beer with potstickers. And just overall frustrations with little things in life. I love that they show that, and how fucking sweet they are!! Edit bc Vol. 2 just got updated. I still love it and I do like the way they're both processing their feelings towards each other. Like Nomoto-san was like, "Yeah, I'm gay for Kasuga-san, and that's okay" and can I just say, I love that. Maybe it's because she's an adult, but she was so mature and the way she processed it, despite remembering all the things she'd been told growing up, she was still like "it is okay for me to feel these things" because it is. I also really like how her romantic attraction for Kasuga-san doesn't become the main highlight like I've seen in other romance manga i.e. when the person realized they have a crush and things get really awkward until they ignore said crush and are later forced to confess etc, not a fan of that, so this is really refreshing. And can I just say, Kasuga-san beginning to realize her feelings towards Nomoto-san is so wholesome. Because we don't always suddenly realize that we like a person, and so I really love the author's take on both women realizing their feelings. Can't wait for Vol. 3!

Phenomenal. This is very wholesome, it's like a breath of fresh air, and she's so very kind. I love the art and how she's drawn too.

I love it so far. Event though she was scared of him at the beginning and even now is a little apprehensive when it comes to him, I really like that she's just like kinda chill with him, and isn't afraid to communicate with him. Also, I love his diehard love for his OTP and his work, love the dedication lol. Can't wait to see where this goes! 5/5 so far

I finished this all in one day, and I was crying towards and at the end of this. I know there will be people that say she has stockholm syndrome and the like, but it really wasn't that, and if you read it you should understand that. And as much as I'd like to do give my opinion on all the psychological things, I don't think I will. To me, this story is really strong. I don't think Haru or Sachi, "loved" each other romantically, but I do think there was platonic love. And it was such a ride to be able to read and see them struggle that their relationship wasn't just one of mutual benefit, that they actually did care about the other outside of benefits. Especially when Sachi is able to come to terms with everything, and that allowed us to see her grow out of the deranged person she was becoming, because that was scary. It's a scary feeling when you're not all there and get too caught up in your own head. When she moved on from that, I was really glad, and when she and Haru had that heart to heart after stopping that woman from killing herself, it was good, because it made them both realize the importance they had for each other on another level. Which is why, when Haru made plans to come to her parent's place to basically 'fess up, it was so hard to watch her leave him and just sit there and read how everything does not at all go according to her plan of keeping Haru safe. But even though it was painful, they both got closure, and got to see Sachi grown up. It was a terribly sad read. 10/10
