Otoyomegatari

Ongoing
Author(s): Mori Kaoru
Genre(s): Drama / Historical / Romance / Seinen

Amira, a woman skilled in archery and horsemanship, was sent to marry Karluk, a boy from another village who is 8 years younger than her. But all is not well, as her village decides to take her back...

We get to see what it's like to live in such a culture through this story. Anything this author puts out is honestly such a masterpiece. Not to mention the art style is superb.

Author(s): Nmura
Genre(s): Shounen Ai / Comedy / Drama / Romance

Hashimoto hates his demon boss but turns out he's actually his online gaming buddy?

It's comedic and a slowburn. Would love to see more about how Shirase and Hashimoto's relationship deepens!! This is perfect if you're looking for a light-hearted read

Machida-kun no Sekai

Author(s): Ando Yuki
Genre(s): Romance / School Life / Shoujo / Slice Of Life

Machida is the perfect son, brother, student, friend, and person—but he has his own moments of insecurity. Luckily, the kindness Machida has shown to people returns to him with love.

Read this back then, a long time ago. Someone was being pissy and rude in a comments section. Then somebody called that person out and told them to be respectful or kind to be well-liked. Then they went ahead and plugged this manga. Gave this a shot and wow...

Author(s): Yamamoto Mato
Genre(s): Romance / Slice Of Life

Tatsumi's last lifeline is his passion for reptiles. Him and Kotani, his neighbor, got into a misunderstanding that led to them creating a channel for reptiles.

Such a light-read. Learning about reptiles is also a plus for me!!!

Chi No Wadachi

Ongoing
Author(s): oshimi shuuzou
Genre(s): Drama / Psychological / School Life / Seinen

An overprotective mom goes overboard to "defend" his son.

Manipulation, exploitation, and gaslighting through the lens of a child... not a fun read. The art style alone with its genius use of negative space and black ink is horrifying. Honestly, even readers might feel gaslighted with how much of a liar the mom is. Halfway through the story, I was gaslit by the mother... that tells a lot about this manga. This is so scary.

Love Bullet

Author(s): Inee
Genre(s): Action / Romance / Seinen / Supernatural

When people who've never experienced love die, they become cupids. Their task? Making sure they find a perfect match for their target!

I saw Lines in Motion cover this in their video. Apparently, the whole community came together to buy and support this manga since it was going to be cancelled. Compared to BL, GL isn't as popular and in-demand in the market. It's nice to see people unite to save a manga from a possible cancellation.

After waking up as the villainess she admires from her favourite otome game, Alicia trains hard every day to become the greatest villainess of all time.

I RARELY like reincarnation tropes of villainesses or saints. I'm sick of it, but this one? I love a female lead that's aware of her privilege and does whatever she can to help the marginalized. She's not whiny and useless. I also love how there's no miscommunication trope! ALSO, TAN PRINCE??

Kono Setsugen de Kimi ga Zutto Waratte Irareru you ni

Ongoing
Author(s): Chizu haruka
Genre(s): Shoujo / Drama

Female lead is the eldest daughter with a shit ton of responsibilities. After meeting with a childhood friend did she realize that she is shackled by her toxic family culture.

THIS IS HONESTLY SO BRUTAL. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A HORROR MANGA BECAUSE OF HOW REALISTIC AND ALSO SCARY TOXIC FAMILY SITUATIONS COULD BE. IT'S SO REALISTIC THAT IT IS SCARY. It breaks my heart to think that when we leave outside that toxic bubble, who will be left with all the responsibility instead?

Subaru to Suu-san

 9.5(496 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Takahashi natsuko
Genre(s): Romance / Slice Of Life

Mio and Subaru live together in a small apartment avoiding attention.
While they masquerade as siblings with an age gap, Subaru holds a secret.

Such a great twist!!!! Honestly refreshing plot as well though I don't know much about what's going on in the manga anymore. I'm gonna have to reread this one.
