My Favourite Shoujos - With Reviews

tldr; Sawako is a girl who looks scary so everyone avoids her, but when she gets closer to the most popular guy in class she starts opening up and making real friends for the first time.

• Slow-burn
• Genuine female friendships!
• Side couples that are just as good as the main one.

Highly recommend.

Pros:
• The art is gorgeous.
• Yoi is a very likeable FL
• Well-paced romance
• Just cute!

Cons:
• Side characters haven’t gotten much development as of yet
• Kohaku can come off as off-puttingly strong in the beginning to some people.
• Standard “miscommunication” trope

Highly recommend.

Pros:
• Fantastic friendship group
• Suwa
• Handles depression and suicide maturely
• Well-paced

Cons:
• Naho and Kakeru are quite passive, which becomes frustrating at times
• Time travel logic can be wishy-washy
• Some people feel that the entire narrative puts too much responsibility for Kakeru’s wellbeing on his friends.

Recommend.
