Dear Signal

Complete | Suehiro machi | 2019 released

Aww. Impractically romantic! Imagine all the misunderstanding cleared up and reformed into new ones like talking about the person you’re in live with to someone else and they think you are in love with that person instead.

Dasadanan

Complete | Herb Mandu | 2017 released

High school fluff! This gears towards a more ‘positive’ high school experience because it features generally friendly characters. It matches with the colorful and cute art. Even backgrounds and side characters were drawn properly instead of being fade out or blacked out. Although, the pacing are often sudden or slow. As much as Seyeon and Kang Chan are cute, Minkyu and Changmin felt more interesting. The mood in Nayeun also changed without being fleshed out. For someone who continually seemed to like Seyeon, Jinwoo’s presence caused an implied changed which felt like it glossed over Nayeun’s emotional change. It’s nice to see side characters being highlighted as they mingle around the leads. I also had to take a double take sometimes because they’re starting to look alike unless there’s a distinct feature to separate them.

Blunder turned wonder

Complete | Caribo | 2000 released

We have the main couple who riled the whole school with their dramatic love life. A side couple that uncovered the depths of being together since birth. A distant budding couple that I'd wish to see more of (looking at you blondie and ex-four-eyed hottie (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜) It's funny, chaotic, and a full rollercoaster ride. They mess up, confess, and make up. I'm also happy at how the artist improved until the ending (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

He, Him & Us

Complete | Scarf | 2016 released

For one thing, the art is phenomenal. The plot is dragging and is mostly dialogue. It's frustrating and tends to victim blame. It has family issues and foreboding obsessive-possessive traits that endagers life. Personally, I feel like the characters blab on and on redundantly which makes the art fade in the background even if its beautiful. The overall plot is great though. It gives you a healthy premature end where the MC is freed from a potentially more toxic relationship.

Shounen No Kyoukai

Complete | akabeko | 2016 released

Bitch! I got scared cause the comments made it sound like a tragedy. Now im just fcking feeling fantastic! It's not a sob story, it's a REVOLUTION! Damn you, Taiga. Couldve slapped you but this one is a great one. Good thing Kaoro was a quick one or else the world wouldve gone upside down. Whew.

Time Lag

Complete | gotou shinobu,Odagiri Hotaru | 2000 released

Chaotic beginning, or at least very confusing. Their relationship is only established during the conflict/climax which I really am not fond of.

Mahoroba Days

Complete | chishanomi | 2000 released

Gives you a cold and rude character who emphasizes on his negative traits because he feels guilty and ashamed that he acts/thinks like that even when people are kind to him. Then a lover who lets himself get whipped/treated harshly because of his own guilt and shame.

Tie Me, Unravel Me, Kiss Me

Complete | MITSUKI Emi | 2013 released

I didn't expect I'd like it since the context isn't my cup of tea, but damn! Loved it! We got three friends and 2 contradicting promises, question is, which promise would be fulfilled?

Virgin Pink Scandal

Complete | TOUYA Tsuduru | 2000 released

An honest to a fault celebrity and a taken aback staff. A businessman taking in an unknown stray. (just skip the next couple) Childhood friends turned lovers and a foreboding future.

Yamete Kudasai, Mabushii Desu.

Complete | HIWATARI Haruki | 2013 released

I’ve become more interested with Hibiya and Sugiyama. Also, it’s good that there wasnt much of a drama about the threat of making rumors that Yuichi is gay. It’s also nice that Sasano has supportive friends and that as fatherless as he is, he lives in a home where he doesnt learn to hate women’s bad habits. I mean, I’ve read a few stories where MCs are made slaves by their sisters or their sisters have bad habits. Also, that llama is cute!
