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.

Konbini-kun

Complete | junko | 2010 released

So sweet, if not a bit rushed at the end. I want to read more about these two. They're so cute.

Sweet little oneshot where the victim of rape doesn't fall for his rapist. So hey. It's short, so it takes away some of the impact, but it's a nice enough story.

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.

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.

This manga broke my heart, and it can go straight to hell.

Nobody Knows

Ongoing | shoowa | 2000 released

So heartbreaking. I kind of hate AI related romance for so many reasons. It's like an immortal and a mortal in love. One will live and die and the other will exist and then stop existing. It makes me feel like there's no true happy ending when one of the people isn't real. That aside, I just love this mangaka. I've been meaning to read some of her work all this time, and I can't believe it took me so long. I adore her art and her approach to story in general. I just hope I end up feeling satisfied by the conclusions of this one.
