Kyou, Koi Wo Hajimemasu
Kiss/Hug
Had a massive crush on Ryu as a teenager, have a massive crush on him as a 25y/o adult. When i tell you this man is HOAWWWT. This author just knows how to make her men. There’s something so mature and serene about this author’s mc’s relationship even though it’s a high school romance. The mangaka is also great at coming up with plots/heartthrobbing scenes
Shi ni Modori no Mahou Gakkou Seikatsu wo, Moto Koibito to Prologue Kara
Love the art, perfect for a shoujo but has got something unique to it too! Vincent and Oriana were lovers in their first life but they both got murdered. Weird thing is the ml seemed like he was expecting his death. So curious about what killed them! The fml returned ten years back in time to before meeting him and has kept her memories while he’s forgotten everything but this doesn’t stop her from doing everything to prevent his death. She’s now like a lovesick puppy going after him while he dismisses her. I love that his rejections doesn’t discourage her from approaching him though. Excited to see when this dynamic will shift Ahhhh my heart I keep crying while reading this. There are bits and pieces of oriana's panels that are just...so personal. Those panels don't even take up atleast half or even a fourth of a page and yet i can still feel like i'm looking inside her heart that is simply weary. There’s still loneliness to her because of her reincarnation and everything she lost in her second life. But she’s starting to realize she’s not so alone and that realization is just so…dear. Arrghh I love her so much. The ‘unrequited’ love, the angst, the friendships, everything is so previous in this manga. I’m cherishing this story a great deal️ Chap 10 : I’m loving this, ‘fight between the two and both of them getting jealous even more intensely’ phase SO MUCHHH️but can’t wait for them to have more cute intimate moments together
Kanojo to Kare no Kankei - Heibon na Hayakawa-san to Heibon na Miura-kun no Hibon na Kankei
They had an odd start to their relationship but they’re pouring everything into it. It’s like they’re following a textbook on how to be bf/gf’s but they made it their own and the result is all soft and sweet. They both love love and show it clearly. They’re learning about being in a relationship in such an experimental way (they shared bf/gf resumes) but it’s so earnest and refreshing! They discuss everything couples do and share their excitement over having their first experiences together. I love their honesty<3 The leads are so appreciative of romantic gestures, and savour each moment which makes the reader giddy about the simplest touch. I’m getting attached to these cuties
Koi no Iroha wo Oshiete
This ml got the potential to be very popular among shoujo readers She asked him to be her relationship coach after she got broken up with so he’s teaching her about love. It seems like he was already interested in her before all this but took whatever she was comfortable with.
