Treasure Box

Probably my favourite manga of all manga. A truly delicate, touching, whimsical, amusing and thoughtful tale.

Probably my favourite romcom, and with musical instruments!

Possibly the most perfect sports manga for my taste. A real ensemble treasure of characters.

I never looked at manga the same way after reading this. Only this epic series would fire me up about battles between manga creators as if it was a sports manga, yet is also intelligent and humorous.

Intelligent and humourous shoujo and mystery adventure rolled into one. One of the top shoujo around.

Like the shoujo/shounen version of the josei Natsume Yuujinchou. Really delightful, warm, touching and sweet.

I really enjoy watching the MC grow as a person and an actor in this one. I like the slowly-developed but chemistry-filled relationship between the MC and ML. It took a number of chapters at the start before it really came into its own.

(Don't be put-off by comments of it dragging; it's just a long time between short chapters and has a lot more of the story to tell.)

Almost-perfect shoujo. The down-to-earth and quirky relationship the main couple build from some genuinely hurtful circumstances make up for a few small detours into unnecessary shoujo cliche.

There's a gracefulness about this story; I love the way the characters think seriously but differently about how to deal with the reality and ramifications of their past lives - and the extras are hilarious.
