Meguriau yo, Baby
Haha it was really cute! The parents' characters were funny.
Tonari No Kare
Odd semi-resolution but I still liked it. This author has a talent for making all her works seem like fluff, even when they're not. I wonder what it is? There's just this aura of peace in her works, even when it's about dramatic subjects like lover/sibling death
Kimi to Harujion
It was a nice enough story, even if the end/them falling in love was pretty rushed. What got to me was the quality. I'm not particularly picky and can deal with double pages, but the person who scanned didn't try to scan all of the words properly so a ton of pages had text that just couldn't be read. It was pretty annoying.

I really do love this author; I think her notes are written in such a casual and friendly way that you can really connect with her when you read them! It was a good story (and I'm glad we got to see a long work by her!) but I wish the ending hadn't been quite so corny. Also...I really wanted poos Akito to win! I love his character so much! Or, at the very least, I wish I could have seen Yoshimi get dumped, mature due to the heartbreak, and then come back and win him over again.
Mijuku Na Kareshi
Not a bad collection of oneshots- it was still enjoyable even though I haven't been too fond of oneshots lately.
Aimai Na Kankei
Though I didn't like it all that much, there's something almost endearing about how honest the mangaka was with these characters. Maybe since it was only 24 pages she didn't feel the need to fill the story with bullshit? But it was refreshing to see a character just come out and say they wanted to feel needed, rather than going on about falling in love with a stranger at first sight or after being raped, etc. It just seemed like a much more realistic explanation for why a person would hang on to a relationship that started off in a pretty volatile way.
