Oko-sama Star

Ongoing | aomiya kara | 2014 released

Honda is slightly yandere? X3 My heart can't seem to be more complete with this pairing <3 Though, I want to know more about Fujita and Kawasaki~ They seem like the typical childhood friends duo, whereas one of them is a casanova ahahaha UPDATE: WTF GUYS there's a prequel out and completed, but not translated (T_T), called Oko-sama Box which is about Fujita and Kawasaki!? The raws are out, you can read them here: my-messyplace-alicia.tumblr.com/post/130494273650/aomiya-kara-oko-sama-box-ch01-ch02-ch03 Can someone please translate them?;_; this is not good for my heart

I really hope that they'll come out with the next chapter soon. This plot is really one-of-a-kind. And the slow pacing and development is making my heart beat faster with every chapter ahaha.

Hidamari ga Kikoeru

Complete | FUMINO Yuki | 2014 released

Edit 03/09: I ain't reading chapter 12 before chapter 13 is out. The comments scared the heck out of me. Damn was I late with reading this. Although I love reading good manga, I hate finishing them. Just want to say the characters and their personalities and their slow paced relationship is already a five star. What made this manga stand out though was the intricate and very original plotline. It shone light on a minority I've and probably a lot of the others reading this manga have never given a second thought about before. It was well written and well portrayed with the struggle of Kouhei and Maya migration to their surrounding society. Taichi being the main character had a lovable personality which invoked more sentimental feelings in me. The manga was overall very pleasant and educational to read. It left me with afterthought of learning more about the topic surround impaired people :)

Number Call

Complete | furuya nagisa | 2014 released

Haha I loved the 8-pun. Main characters were adorable and their relationship was quite subtle and slow-paced, which I'm a huge sucker for, the plot was definitely memorable, and the side characters added depth to the pairings involvement to each other. It was really natural. As this is Sensei's first work I'd give this a full five star rating haha. I would like to see more of her works in the future.

I read this a few years back and I still can't forget how unique and heartwarming it is. Bikke-sama is awesome.

Michizure Policy

This is so fluffy and cute I really can't handle it. I was secretly hoping for a chapter with Hirano though haha.

Ano Hi No Kimi Wo Dakishimeta Nara

Complete | Sakiya Haruhi,Yamamoto Kotetsuko | 2008 released

Fukigen Na Mononokean

Complete | wazawa kiri | 2013 released

Now this is a manga I only ever dream about: A perfect blend of Natsume Yuujinchou and D. Gray-man(my two top favorite manga/anime) with it's own original additions to the supernatural and shounen genre. You got your main characters Ashiya Hanae and Abeno Haruitsuki, which are polar opposites but still dependent on one another in many ways. What started out as a purely coincidental, give and take only, involvement, has developed into a beautiful friendship amongst those two. With more give rather than take. (Still, I AM a part time fujoshi, that's why I can't help but ship those two, but that's another story.) Like in NYC, they're humans who can see yokai, and are heavily involved with yokai daily. You would think it would go the shoujo route with the first two volumes of daily yokai-encounters, no plot progression and ambiguous explanations, but it's more to it than it seems. It's more than just heartwarming plot and precious relations, there actually is something underlying shounen content lurking in between the lines. Though for a supernatural, yokai-exorcising shounen, it's pretty bright. With bright characters and bright monsters with relatable, human-like personality. Even the exorcising is spoken brightly of, while exorcising is portrayed much darker in DGM, Fukimono promises a better life in the intricately detailed, but in the same time ambiguous; 'Underworld'. A concept which I can't seem to have encountered more than a few, rare times (Bleach, Beelzebub, Nuranomago?). For all the shounen enthusiasts, please hang on! Though it's not as straightforward as other shonen manga, it's definitely worth a read. The manga makes up for the lack of shonen characteristics in the later volumes. Thinking back Kazawa has been really discreet with hints here and there of the underlying plot since the beginning, but that only adds on to the suspense. Every little detail counts. You'll get your villains and fight scenes, just... keep on reading x] All in all, this manga is a "All-In-1"- package. It has risen to my top manga reads in just a weeks, and now I'm pretty stoked about the second season of the anime :D (This turned out more of an review than a simple comment omg. Just shows ya'll how amazing this manga is ^^)

Kimi wa Natsu no Naka

Complete | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

You know what? This manga seems like it would be a great movie or like an live action. Everything about this was perfect! Nagisa sensei really outdid herself this time around. Kimi wa natsu no naka excelled in everything that Gunjou No Subete lacked, in terms of character depth, development and originality. The idea about making Wataru and Saeki film geeks was very neat and gave the manga a whole different vibe then if they were to be normal students that were adventurous. The atmosphere however was SUPER tense and was constantly building. It was like watching a movie. I could really feel that tension throughout reading the manga. It reminded me a lot of Seven days by Takarai Rihito. Alwaya keeping the readers on edge. It was an amazing ride. 10/10 I would definitively read this again.
