Even If It’s Not a Dramatic Love
4 ATS I don’t know about you, but I really like this so far. The romance is kind of subtle, and it is slowly builds up and up. It’s just like a very good example of excellent storytelling. I quite like this kind of slow burn. Feels realistic and mature in that sense.
Kotaete My Drifter
Such a poignant read. Realistic for the time this was set in. The roaring ‘20s.. The Great Depression… The story just evokes so many emotions with the diverse character backgrounds and the atmospheric art. Extremely romantic like Lin Che kept saving Eliot over and over. AND THE LETTER– It’s tragic, but they’re happy at the end at least.
Tokyo in April
It has this mature, almost depressing vibe at the start, but it lightens up near the end. Honestly a great read despite its dramatic clichés. The author has a splendid way of demonstrating changes in character and emotion through their art. Poetically and beautifully, the story is just such a journey. The characters are multifaceted and change over the course of said story, and it just makes for an incredibly immersive manga. Ngl I teared up when he said “You’re my Tokyo in April” LIKE WHAT what an absolute banger of a line. will re-read for sure one day
