“A delightfully charming romantic comedy about a boy who only has eyes for the girl who always forgets her glasses!”

This is GOLD. It’s the BEST fluff ever. It’s a simple premise, but the way the characters grow and develop is so damn good. The mood of the story’s so freaking gentle, and the way they interact is way too damn precious! They’re just too damn innocent and relatably adorable aaa

“Rambunctious high school student Hayate is the lone girl in an all-boys soccer club. One day, honors student Yuuto suddenly asks her out, starting a cute opposites-attract romance.”

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!! The storyline was so well done and their progress and growth was just beautiful! Their dynamic was just great. I love how strong they were too. So glad I chose to read this. Such a highly recommended story for a great time!!

“When tough girl Kylie’s former friend Tristan asks her to the Valentine’s Dance, she knows he must be up to no good. But nothing could prepare her for a figure from the past to return and disrupt the two feuding frenemies…”

HOLY CRAP YALL THIS IS SOO GOOD!! I mean the way the way things come to light is just freaking amazing. The characters all have depth and feel realistic too! I absolutely love it so much.

“Onizuka is an Oni and her childhood friend Sawarida is a human who likes to touch weird stuff. She might be in love with him, but he is too dense for love or is it the other way around?”

I love this with all my being. It has such an interesting plot and the character diversity is super cool and unique. The couple is also just way too adorable for words!

“Fifteen-year old Ishimori Uka is a very shy girl that can't stand being in front of someone. One day she meets a boy on the streets who's just as refreshing as lemon soda…”

The female lead is incredible. Her growth and development are just so damn beautiful, and I absolutely live for her strength! Also this couple is GOALS. They talk and communicate, and are super cute together. One of the best shoujo mangas EVER created!

All time fav shoujo to date!! Such an amazing series with strong, great, and uniquely done leads. Includes LGBTQ+ characters as well!! It REALLY needs more love. (Full comment’s under topics if you’d like to see my love for the series fully.)

“Meet Shinichi Honda and Mako Wakamiya. One’s a boy, and the other’s a girl. But both don’t hesitate to say exactly what’s on their mind IN CAPITAL LETTERS.”

SO SWEET! AND SO ADORABLY CHAOTIC! It focused on some really good aspects of relationships, and portrayed some really amazing characters. I never got tired of reading, it was just so hilarious and cute!! It ended so beautifully too.

-[ CF TO L ]-

“An adorable tale of two childhood friends who start dating. It starts with "I think we should break up".”

This was SO beautiful I’m a sucker for the childhood friends to lovers trope, and this portrayed their love so beautifully! It held the perfect amount of innocence, fun, and wholesome moments, while also lightly depicting the difficult aspects as well.

“A collection of stories that revolve around a chain of people.”

Hands down one of the BEST multi couple shoujo series ever created. I swear I want to marry everyone here. Every chapter held diversity and such great romantic endeavors that I felt like I was a part of the story. It balanced perfectly with light and darker moments, and was very realistic. 100% missing out if you haven’t read yet!
