such a good read! deals with some heavy topics such as r@pe and ptsd. it’s definitely not for everyone but i really enjoyed it. it felt a little bittersweet and i feel like we can’t always relate to the mc + disagree a lot with some of her choices but you still care for her. there’s a second male lead but i feel like there’s really no love triangle.
my favorite manga of all time — i’ve read it like 5/6 times. it starts off as your regular shoujo (transfer student falls for popular boy, confesses and they quickly start dating) but things take a turn when she starts learning about his past.
the mc is dorky and a little stupid sometimes but she also knows when to step her foot down. the male lead will make you love him and hate him at the same time, truly. there’s a love triangle and a time skip!
i’ve read this one a long time ago. i liked it, it’s good! i think at the time i felt like it dragged a little but i’m not sure. still a classic!
a classic too! girl receives a letter from her future self with instructions to save the life of her friend who’s about to commit. i feel for this one, the anime was more enjoyable! still really good
it was difficult to get into it for me because i didn’t like either of the main characters right away — however, i really enjoyed this. even tho its main theme is really dark, overall, it’s a lighter read than some other mangas on this list.
long as hell god damn. but fun!! the anime is also good.
it’s about a girl who gets played by her actor boyfriend so to get revenge she decides to get into acting herself and overthrow him.
this one will definitely frustrate you! it’s about a trio where the girl has two guys — almost literally — in a chokehold. our main character joins the friend group but things get really messy!
another amazing read, i’m obsessed! it’s about a girl who meets her first love again in high school, however he’s different from his old self.
this one is so cute but angsty at the same time, really enjoyable + the anime is great.
this one is more like a sports anime with some shoujo but sometimes the romance is better when it’s not the main focus! it’s about a girl and how she creates a team to play a game/sport her first love taught her. even tho she’s not in touch with him, she’s in touch with their other friend in common who seems to have some feelings for her! it’s definitely a love triangle but spoiler if you support the right boy there’s a happy ending!!
a tough and quick one about a woman and her friendship with a death row convict
