Lovely Complex
This is always a classic- so well done. I really loved Risa's character design from her stupid faces to her heartbroken moments, I felt myself becoming more and more enamored with her. Otani was pretty thick-headed and douchey the whole time (the scene towards the end where he let another girl sleep over wtf?!!) but I get the feeling he really came to like her in the end.
Hot Blooded Woman
Yay female leads who can fight! This was my first ever HMR manhwa aka the rabbit hole to Wonderland. I'm still trying to find my way out lol. But it's good! I preferred the first 12/13 volumes to the second half of the story, but the entire series was fairly interesting. A few of HMR's bad habits do pop up in this story, though, probably due to the length of the series: repetitive scenes with only small differences in between them, trying and failing to be overly philosophical and just sounding confused/high (which was only an issue in the very end), and, of course, her inability to vary the appearances of her characters (2 possible faces, 4 possible hairstyles, 3 possible hair colors = 24 possible distinguishable characters, any more and you can't tell them apart). All in all, it was a really good series and I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
Peach Girl
Aww one of my first mangas! It was cute, fun, interesting, heartbreaking and all that (though I may just be going off of the memories lol). But it is a genuinely good story, despite the fact that the author has her bouncing back and forth from Toji to Kiley like a game of tennis lol. At a certain point, I just wanted a random, baggage-free 3rd guy to come in and sweep Momo off her feet while telling Sae to go fuck herself. But I guess how it ended was fine too ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Kingyo Sou
I really liked this. I really like any manga that highlights the difficulties someone with a physical handicap faces and how they live on despite (or because of) it.
Matsuri Special
I just love when the guy who's been nice from the beginning wins over the guy who only acts nice after he likes her. For that, 4 stars! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Chibi Vampire
I'm giving this a rare 5 stars because of the way this manga allowed us to connect to the characters, particularly to Karin's family. I adore the end of this manga, where we got to see just how deep their love for Karin went (it makes me tear up every time T_T). But this is a story I would absolutely read again, despite seeming to target a younger demographic than me
