narutolvr's manga / #josei(41)

An light, entertaining read. Really only scratches the surface of emotions but was still enjoyable to see adults with some level of experience dealing with relationships as adults. I'm curious as to how they went that long without sleeping together, though...it's pretty amazing, isn't it?

I liked that this manga was about friendship but the author could have done a WAY better job making friendship the important factor outside of the final chapter. Also, I hated the MC with a burning passion. Everything about her value system so was fucked up. Even ignoring the crap she did just to stay with a guy who clearly had no feelings for her (I start talking about that, I'll be ranting for days lol), she had no sense of personal responsibility. She'd skip work just because she didn't feel like it, and obviously valued having a boyfriend above all else- like when she said Yuka would only feel better if she got a new boyfriend, WTF?!! Clearly, she was just addicted to the feeling of being in love and never really cared about the person. The worst part is, this still didn't change much, even at the end. Despite how wholesome the author tried to make it seem with the holding hands, she obviously still didn't care about taking responsibility for herself, complaining about working to pay off the debt she accrued as if it were someone else's fault. Ugh, she just pissed me off! Loved all the other characters, though, lol

Loved it! Although it seemed to drag on in some places (most likely because I'm running off an all nighter), it was still a really lovely story about a lot of different personalities coming together and forging meaningful bonds.

A really touching manga- the kind that could easily have been a novel remade into a manga, that's how vivid the characters' personalities are. This manga made me laugh, cry, and shove aside my computer in a fit of rage after cursing Kei (gotta admit he pissed me off sooooo badly sometimes) but I love each of the characters dearly, frustrating as they may be. Really good work mangaka-san!

Did I never put this in my completed list? Oops! :p. What can I say about this manga to accurately portray my love for it? Words don't seem to do it justice. It's stupendous, just absolutely breathtaking. This series will forever stand in my top 5 because the plot, characters, romance is so well developed it serves as an ideal many mangas strive to achieve. We get to see Yuri grow from a scared girl into a physical and mental badass. The side characters don't lose to the MCs by any means in terms of character complexity and awesomeness. The plot is never forced along- the characters' personalities and interactions drive the plot rather than the other way around. I could sing praises for years but I'd rather go reread it ^^

This was a really nice, touching read, aimed for mature audiences. What's the yaoi equivalent of josei, I wonder? Either way, it was beautifully written, the expression of Nakamichi's emotions were so vivid I found myself tearing up. Also, loved the nice bits of humor scattered throughout as a buffer for the drama. That crying face was hilarious!

It was a fairly interesting story, but somehow managed to be so saturated with sex that I got a bit irritated after a while. It's just like, this is the 10th sex scene in 6 chapters, any chance we could use the extra pages to develop the plot or characters a little more? The ending fell so flat, and the major confrontation just wasn't there. Wish the author had spent more time on those, rather than showing us the main couple sleeping together or Saiga and his troupe of sexmates.

Super cute!

It was alright, I suppose? Really not this author's best work but it was a nice read. Felt like the end came too soon, though.

Didn't care for the main story- the plot was predictable, the characters were dull, and the ending was just a super boring cop-out time skip. But the side stories were relatively interesting, so I don't regret reading it or anything.
