With the Light
This manga is something that I believe everyone should read, especially those who work with children or generally around psychology. I don't know anyone with autism, so this manga was an eye-opener for me. It made me realize how difficult and challenging life with an autistic person is, and my respect for those with autistic family members went through the roof. Even though this manga is on the older side and was never fully competed sadly due to the mangaka's passing, it is truly a hidden gem. (with only 45 votes, like what??) Please give this manga a chance. Everything from the storyline to the characters is remarkable. Also, I'd like to point out that this manga won an Excellence Prize for manga at the 2004 Japan Media Arts Festival!
Lethe
This looks interesting. But I'm gonna wait till all of the chapters are uploaded here since there's only like 21 chapters or something like that :D Edit: Guess I didn't have to wait long haha
New York New York
Oh wow... This one is intense. The art made me feel like I'm watching an old American movie (idk why though lol) and the plot is so heavy. This deals with homophobia, trauma, sexual assault, kidnapping, etc. It's from 1995 and while I don't usually like the older yaoi, I ended up really enjoying this. Kain Walker is a policeman in New York. He hides that he is gay from basically everyone. One day he meets Mel Frederics and it was love at first sight. Maybe the only problem I have with this is the fact that Kain CHEATED on Mel with his ex. Like dude wtf?? And Mel forgave him so easily?! AND THEN HE CHEATED ONCE MORE WHILE THEY WERE DATING?? Yeah... that's kinda fucked up if you ask me. Other than that this manga is a must-read! The ending is additionally soo satisfying!
