Like as the Time Will Come When it Will Rain

Complete | KUNIEDA Saika | 2000 released

I love this mangaka so much, and I love the stories, especially the rain one. I just wish the ending weren't so ambiguously sad.

Kami-sama Darling

Ongoing | AIBA Kyouko,AIBA Kyoko | 2000 released

Hmmm... Pushy seme, but it's cute enough. Waiting for the next chapters.

Yuugure no Machi

Complete | MIIKE Romuco,Miike Romuko | 2011 released

I don't know if there's more to the main story or if the remaining chapters are going to be oneshots or something, but I really like this as is. I actually kind of wish there was more with the boyfriend and what not. I liked that surprise, and how he was tied to this dangerous man, but then it never went anywhere. At least it was sweet that it brought out the characters' feelings for one another even more.

23:45

Complete | Ohana | 2000 released

Very sweet so far. We'll see where it goes.

B.s.s.m. - Blood Sugar Sex Magic

Complete | ido gihou | 2014 released

This is sweet so far, if not a little confusing. I'm intrigued, and I want to see more of these pretty boys, regardless. The drug usage is interesting, but I wonder if it'll be a part of the story from here on out. It's sort of strange as an afterthought, but whatever. I'm eager to see where it goes, might change the rating to five if things get clearer.

Namida mo Tooku - Aonibi no Nemuri

Complete | honjoh rie | 2009 released

The first story is sad and futile. The second story is interesting, but there's no forgiving rape, especially not so casually. No excuse for that shit. The last story is dorky and cute, kind of unfitting with the other two. It wasn't a bad read, even with its flaws. The translation is slightly off, but not so bad that you can't understand what's happening.

Seishun Otome Banchou!

Complete | seino shizuru | 2013 released

Mostly confused by the fact that she's only ugly when she's making a weird face. Is her normal face supposed to be ugly? I don't get it. Is there something I'm missing? She looks just like the other girls. That aside, I like her personality, and I'm eager to keep reading this. I'm only on chapter two at the moment, though. More notes added later. ETA: Finsihed chapter nine, looking forward to more. The manga isn't without flaws, and I don't like how much everyone gets away with, being so cruel to Mihane. I really want Touma to stand up for her already. I know she's tough and doesn't need to be protected, but us tough girls need someone to stand up for us, too. Maybe I'm taking this a little too personally. XD Looking forward to more, regardless of my issues with it. ETA 2: Wait, why does it say it's complete now? It can't be! I'll cry! I hope there's more of these characters. I'm happy with how it turned out in the end, and this is a very unusual manga. I sure wish I could find more stories where the female lead is unattractive or overweight and stays that way through the whole story. I don't typically like shoujo, but I really loved this.

Are You Enemy?

Complete | Miyamoto Kano | 2001 released

I'm finally getting around to re-reading/fully reading all of Miyamoto Kano's work, but I'm pretty confused by some of the order here. This particular manga was oddly ordered on the site. I'm hoping I didn't miss anything. Maybe I should just find the DL to be sure. Anyway, this is her early work, so it didn't have some of the same emotional impact that I can usually find in her work. Still, it's a nice start, and I love how she has stories that span over multiple characters, etc. Not Love up next...

Not/love

Ongoing | Miyamoto Kano | 2003 released

I'm always so sad for Bun. I hope eventually he gets a happy ending. Daisuke is so hot, but he's such an asshole. I'm torn between wanting them together despite that and wanting Daisuke to get dumped by Bun and his wife and both of them ending up with guys who treat them well. Or, even better, he stops with the lies and they just have an open, three-way monogamous relationship. I wish more stories like this ended that way.

Heat (miyamoto Kano)

Complete | Miyamoto Kano | 2005 released

As usual, Miyamoto Kano's stories are kind of heartbreaking. I'm still rooting for Bun's happiness, regardless of what that means. I'm bitter about Daisuke, but it would kind of be nice if they ended up together, just because Bun loves him so much. But Daisuke would have to clean up his act first. That jerk. I feel bad for Satorou, though. He's so sweet, and Bun would have been better off with him. Hopefully Satorou finds happiness, too, though I doubt we'll ever find out for sure.
