So sad! But at least it was short, so it wasn't as painful as it might have been. It was a sweet concept, I just wish we could see the girl finding her own love, a girl who stays by her this time. But hey, eating after a breakup is always encouraged!

Tamen De Gushi

Ongoing | Tan Jiu | 2000 released

I really like this so far! Lovely art, likable characters, sweet plot. I would have given it five stars, but I thought it was going to avoid that super typical "one person really likes the other, but the other pretends to be straight for half the story," and I'm disappointed that it's fallen into that typical equation. Regardless, I look forward to seeing it from here on out, and I'll be glad when they just get past the stupid already and start dating. I hope that isn't too long from now. ETA: Aww, I wanna see more of that guy who kissed Qin Xiong! But there are so many passing characters who don't seem to actually have anything to do with the story that I won't hold my breath. It's a shame, though, cause he was hot, and I already wanted to know more about him just from that brief interaction.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. I'm intrigued, though it's so short and rushed so far. I do like the fact that the girl wasn't like, "What? A girl? OMGZ NOOO!!!" like you see in so much of this crap. I'm hoping it maintains that much at least.

Big Jo

Ongoing | jungle julia | 2016 released

Hmmm.... I dunno. I'm always on the lookout for manga and comics with fat girls or girls who aren't considered conventionally attractive, or both, but I'm not sure how I feel about this one. So-so art, but hey, better than I could do. Since it's chopped into pieces, three chapters is like seven pages, but I do like the confused grandma at the end of every installment. We'll see how this pans out. 2.5 stars for now. ETA: Upgraded to four stars for being cute and interesting. I like how it's unfolding now that it's moving. I hate, hate, HATE the way whoever is uploading cut up the pages. That's a huge detractor and it makes it frustrating to read. But I'm glad it's being posted at all, so hey.

The Four Best People in the World

Complete | Kobayashi Kina | 2000 released

Haha, very cute! I wish it were longer. This author is OBSESSED with gender benders. Not a single one of her works on here is without it. But it's definitely adorable.

Vampire Girl (tanaka Minoru)

Complete | tanaka minoru | 2000 released

I'd be interested to read more about hot, lesbian vampires, lol. This was an interesting little one shot. Shame it's so short, though, because it'd be fun to examine the complicated relationships. And everything that happens after.

Your Fragrance

Complete | graziegrazie(minase ruruu) | 2000 released

Nooooooooo, the art is so pretty, I want more. It's beautiful, and I'm bummed that there's nothing else by this author. At the same time, the person who created it creeped me out a bit with the comments at the end. I was getting an uncomfortable, creepy dude on the bus kind of vibe. Other than that, it just sucks that this is super short and doesn't actually go anywhere. The art is what really sells it, and it isn't long enough in that sense.

She's So Easy To Read.

Complete | Fuyume Saya | 2000 released

Super short little one shot. Cute enough, but five pages doesn't leave much of an impact.

Rapunzel (komoda)

Complete | komoda | 2000 released

Haha, wtf? XD But okay, I mean, sounds like they're a match made in heaven.
