Tonari no Jijou
Great art as usual. Stories were alright- somehow I always get thrown off by this artist's pacing (not that it's a particularly bad thing).
Emerging
It was a pretty well done manga; interesting plot, nice pacing, good art, etc, but it really seemed to be lacking quite a lot of medical knowledge. I think if the author had done a bit more research, it could have been a very good story. As it is now, the resolution doesn't make much sense. And, somehow, the MC seemed way too clueless to be a doctor. Case in point: when he and Sekiguchi get back the results of the virus blood and are told it doesn't match any current viruses, he feels relief. As a medical professional, your first instinct should be fear since it could mean you're dealing with a completely new infection. Little details like that make it a bit hard to get into the story as someone going into medicine.
Desir Desir Sakura
Cute love story between the eldest daughter of a family of 7 and the young master of a construction company. Although I say that, the boy's background plays almost no role at all so it's pretty much an ordinary love story between two classmates who have more in common than one would initially believe. Also includes a side story where a douche bag walks a couple road with a girl who he knows likes him without actually breaking up with his girlfriend first. The way he moves from one girl to the other leaves a really bad taste in my mouth; if the story were told from the ex's pov, he'd be like all the other villain ex-boyfriends you see in shoujo. Cute main story, though
Itadakimasu
This author always makes hilarious manga- the art/plot combined had me rolling in bed more than a few times XD. As long as you don't try to read into anything and take it for the light-hearted work it is, it's really enjoyable.
Hana wa Saku ka
This was a good manga, a bit hard to read, but good. I found myself getting bored after a while though, hence the 3 stars, but I really do love the way the author illustrates her characters and portrays their emotions so well.
Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Episode 1: Legend Of The Golden Witch
Cool. Gonna read the sequel
Idol Shopping
Once again, I'm all about HMR's works that involve a female lead who can actually fight. And I also happen to like gender bender type mangas so this one was pretty much up my alley. Not to mention, it was done pretty well so I have no complaints
He's Dedicated To Roses
This was pretty good- though I'm a sucker for female leads who can fight! But it didn't get dragged on as much as some of her other works so I was pretty satisfied. A nice wrap up, though I do wish we could've gotten a bit more of a happy end after all the trouble they went through. After both of them give up their families and he almost dies he asks her to date him? At least say lovers or ask for an engagement or something?! Good story otherwise
Harem Lodge
Even though it was typical and predictable, it was still an enjoyable read. Good thing it was short; had it dragged on too long, it would have become a chore to read. But at the length now, it's short, sweet, and leaves you wanting more ^^
