otakulys's manga / #shoujo(20)

Nekomori

Complete | tsutsumi kakeru | 2000 released

Meh. Cute concept, but I don't like that she had to get more feminine. I would have preferred her telling her he liked her just as she usually is. But I guess, even though she looked just like the other characters, she was supposed to be more plain, so... It's nice to see more female leads that aren't supposed to be as pretty.

Interesting enough. I like that no one could see her as a girl, and I like that she didn't have to change that or become ultra girly. Pretty cute if not remarkable.

Beautiful World

Complete | Sakuradata Hina | 2000 released

Aw, that was really sad! I knew it would be, but damn. It wouldn't have made me so sad if he hadn't wanted a friend so badly. His reactions were what got me. Definitely a downer.

Matsumoto Eiko Wa Futsuu No Ko

Complete | Yamamoto Souichirou | 2016 released

Lol, the reaction to her reveal was cute enough for me to bump this up to three stars. It was a harmless little oneshot, though it annoyed me a bit with the whole "boring" crap. Especially when her worth is all summed up by whether or not a guy likes her. (I don't give a crap how he ACTUALLY felt. It's dumb to base your life choices on that.) Just a manga, of course, not real life, but that mentality is real. x_x

Kodomo no Kamisama

Complete | Misu Shinya | 2000 released

I shouldn't have read this when I'm sick and sleep deprived. It would have hit me hard anyway, but it was particularly brutal now. So sad, but very sweet. I cried really hard, and I'm still kind of crying. Honestly, I started crying the moment she revealed why the others didn't know her. I knew how it was gonna end. Very sad, but sweet at the same time. Heartbreaking, but there's that little glimmer of love that never left, even if he doesn't remember.

Prideful Slender Girl Gets Chubby

Complete | fusa syobou | 2000 released

It's kind of on the fetish side, makes me think of "feeders" and what not. But it is cute how much he wants her to enjoy his cooking. Essentially she was skinny because she'd never eaten good food, lol. My issue with it is that she now has an eating disorder. She only ever thinks about food? But, of course, if she were a skinny girl who gorged herself constantly, no one would bat an eye. I don't want to hear the "she's unhealthy" crap. But to encourage someone to eat until they're in pain is definitely weird. Feederism is a kind of control kink, and it can get dangerous.

The Holy Grail of Eris

Ongoing | Kujira tokiwa,Momoyama hinase | 2019 released

Huh. I think I misinterpreted some comments, because the description pretty much sums it up. Criminal, execution... I mean, I guess we'll see what happens? I'm not really one for this kind of story, but I'll stick around and see.

The Mermaid and...

Complete | Kuze gaku | 2019 released

Ugh, the art is beautiful. I wish it weren't het. Also, it says TBC, but then it also says it's a oneshot, so I don't know what to believe here. If that's an entire story, it was... odd and pointless. It's a crime that this author doesn't draw m/m, though. Her characters are gorgeous.

A Breeze of Kanome

Ongoing | Mawaregimi | 2019 released

Just a mild little story about learning to love and accept yourself despite the obstacles you face. I think the relationship with the brothers is very touching, and the fact that he could find strength through someone he loves is very sweet. Nothing amazing, but it was a nice story.

I'm pretty good at mimicking Tien from Dragon Ball

Don't use Tien to hide your embarrassment! Psh, typical.
