Kimi ni wa Todokanai

Really lovely slow-paced romance between childhood friends. Portrays the doubt and confusion that comes with first love perfectly and both leads are very loveable. Still on-going but I have faith the manga will keep its quality until the end.

Really sweet and silly, it’s more of a collection of short moments of the leads falling in love rather than a big overarching story. Very cute and funny.

Strange but interesting. Very difficult read since it explicitly deals with horrific sexual abuse and the way neglected children from difficult homes are easily taken advantage of. But the story is well-developed despite only being 6 chapters. It definitely would have benefited from a longer run but oh well!
Ends on a sweet and hopeful note even if the overall story is pretty grim.

This author’s art style and stories always create such unique moods. It’s not always to my taste but this one hit all the right spots, sort of a slice of life romance between a doctor and an ex-yakuza who find a family in each other.

Iki Dekinai no wa Kimi no Sei

Author(s): Sumiya Zeniko
Genre(s): Comedy / Romance / Shounen Ai

Starts off with the really funny premise of two guys who absolutely suck at love being each other’s sex friends out of convenience and evolves into the sweetest romance. It’s lovely and adorable, the characters evolve past their initial caricatures and come together in a really mature and heartfelt way. Went ‘AWWW’ out loud several times and the art style is very cute and expressive.

ADORABLE.
Really sweet story of a socially anxious MC gaining confidence in himself and opening up to others through his love for the MC. The side characters are all loveable and funny as well.
