josei & shoujo that could make me cry

SO CUTE ?.!.?. THIS IS WONDERFUL. it's a nice compact read with historical elements. it's a married couple & they're abstaining. dw: there's no problematic elements. (except the age gap. which scared me a little. but he's being super respectful. honestly upto the reader to decide.)
4/5

this is considered iconic but tbh i found it kinda lacklustre. i found the mc's character super forced and boring. the extent to which she's "clueless" about love is annoying at times, at least it was for me. because she led on ANOTHER guy ?.!.? but overall, the dynamic b/w the characters (mc & ml) are super enjoyable. and the friendships are super cute as well
3/5

I LOVE THIS. it's about a family of 'mind readers' and how they struggle with finding love, considering they're hearing all the cynical and bad thoughts of others. spoiler: they all find love. and each is as beautiful as the last. it's SUPER funny and adorable.
5/5

THIS. AND. FURARE GIRL. ARE MY FAVOURITES. holy shit. how is this as hot as it is?!.?.! yoshino (mc) is literally the loml. she's so cool. and the male lead (kirishima) is such an asshole. but like, he's a likeable asshole. i don't even really ship them together, but honestly you don't even have to ship them. the story is *chef's kiss*
6/5

hilariously good!!! a regular girl falls in love with the son of a politician who's getting ready to follow in his father's footsteps. naturally, his life is very different to hers.... but this is adorable!!! the characters are super interesting & likeable.
4.5/5

what is with good shoujos having a predatory age gap?? i rlly wish he was the same age as her. he's like a whole ass man & she's in high school. the manga is REALLY REALLY good but the age gap is like...... why. it was necessary.... no one wanted it.... so why? the manga in itself, is wonderful if you ignore that. the artstyle & characters along w their relationship is so fluffy.
3.5/5 (sigh this is a weird age gap, no?)

kinda twisted & unhealthy. they both play a game wherein they engage in a relationship, without it being a relationship and whoever falls in love first loses. the fl is cold and professional, the male lead is calculating and unemotional. it's scary how they both are in denial lmao
5/5

ex delinquent & shy girl have one thing in common: they don't know how to make friends! and they both rlly wanna make them. as they both cheer each other on, they find that THEIR OWN relationship is not quite that of friends.
3.5/5

it is criminal for a manga to be this good. it's my fav manga along w nozaki-kun and it barely has any chapters. the premise, the relationship... the artstyle all draw u in and enchant you. it's actually brilliant how well this manga is drawn & written. i'm so curious as to how this goes.
♾/ 5 (not joking tbh)

the first time i'm seeing the black haired, cool dude not be like love interest but the blond, nice dude. honestly refreshing how they switched that up. also although the black haired dude is completely my type, i hate him so much lol. i want to see him perish. but this is a typical shoujo, it's nice & got some drama. nothing too special.
2.5/5
