Comments: and if i want to stay in the timeless void vortex, will you try to stop me?

Sanji chases the thrill of belonging to the sea, while Zoro watches over him. YAMATOOOO! Their works is spectacular, brilliant, amazing. It's amazing how they're capable of writing really funny stories and fantastically somber ones the next. Truly an author after my own heart.

Comments: gggggghost busters!

Shinonome Tantei showcases guys who works on a detective agency as a ghost hunter. I have mixed feelings about this story, it's abit hard to follow the plotline. But I still would say that I really like the character dynamics within it. But again, it could've been much more in terms of plot progression and building.

[ TW: Racism, Race fetishization, Plane tragedy ]
Type: Adventure + Drama / Admiration

Raiatea follows a photographer who fell in love with an indigenous man while travelling to an island. Alot of time, indigenous or racial representation in romance stories are treated as a fetish trope which is.. awful. But Raiatea shows reality as it is, the struggle of conforming within an inherently racist society. It's a beautiful story about returning to one's roots.

Comments: does alcohol cause memory loss??

A story about two best friends who has feelings for each other getting together by accident. I like authors general slice of life writing because the flow is very easy and sweet. It's like a blankie, you know? Just a simple love story to read on a break.

Comments: oh to lay on top of a fluffy orb god...

Kamisama to Tobenai features the fantastical angelic society who has to serve their gods through 'mountian complexes'. Oh my god when I first clicked into the story, I really didn't expect anything much- but it's truly a labor of love. The concept is very original and the worldbuilding is interesting. I love every characters in it too. Truly a rare gem.

Comments: boobies

A Buddhist Priest met up with a spider that escapes its home one day, and the two becomes a pair who travels together. I've read alot of this mangakas works because well, I just like it LMAOO. It's really good. But I'll pick this one because it's just so silly. If you like this one, def read the rest of their works!!

Comments: you would not believe your eyes

What happens when the painting of the character that you create one day comes to life every night? The premise of this manga is exactly that, and although I personally isn't too taken by the concept- I must say that it's executed pretty well, and I do like how the romance flows within the story. It's.. hm, very pretty!

Type: Action + Drama / ur my solace
Comments: im back bitch

A worn-down hitman reunited with a blind person he met years back, when it all started. Okay so hmm... the trope of 'innocent, pure & helpless' disabled characters are Very Tired and I think is harmful, but I still sorta have hope for this series. Also it's too beautiful to pass along lol. Looking forward for more!!

Comments: and they were roommates

A Yankee is offered a place to live by his 'challenger' who perpetually invites him to a beat up session. I didn't know why I held off so long reading it. Its so genuinely funny, heartwarming and I LOVE how realistic the interactions between the characters are. It outsold, I love it so much.

Type: Slice of Life / Coworkers, Office Romance
Comments: but first let me take a selfie

Yet another slice-of-life story about officemates that finds solace in the company of each other. I'm not the hugest fan of office romance, but I do find this one really sweet. It's about going through adulthood and the stillness that comes with it.
