Special Place in My Kokoro

tbh i watched the anime and loved it so much yet it had never occurred to me there was a mango wheeeeeeze adding so i can re-experience this gem. microbe life. mc who can communicate with them. learned about sake making and etc from i remember looool also lots of gay baiting which i actually vaguely recall wheeze. was reading comments on this when i went to get back into it and MAN HOW IS THIS WAY MORE NICHE THAN I REMEMBER?? it's got so many chapters too...defs worth picking up in either format

it ain't tagged it but they some country gay and i'm here for it lol /shounenai/ which, like, ofc when you pay attention to the mangaka looool eternally a fan. and these 2 were super cute together~

by now yall must know i am a ho for slow life countryside content. and foodie goodness. and irori. this got it all. it's a comforting read and makes me wanna live the countryside japan life -but i know i wouldn't survive wheeze- when you wanna feel the seasons this is a cute light read~

YOOOOO GAKUEN ALICE AUTHOR STILL GOING STRONK
this is really good and bittersweet~

tbh i kinda miss works like this so it got me all nostalgic cuz I used to love tachibana-sensei's works~ plus i never did manage to finish gakuen alice while it was running (or like did IT ever finish? lol) so I think imma probs be revisiting that~ but aside from that lol. this is super cute w/ mushroom & cat witches. the interactions & BG chatter of the charas actually got personality.

Been a few years since I read this and I still find myself thinking about it. For some reason thinking of this also makes me think of NG Life even though they're so different, lol. Both amazing tho. For some odd reason I'm not sure if I finished this??? Gotta reread if not wheeze. anyways some past lifey ghosty revenge and misunderstandings tad yandere messy goodness

tbh this is like one of my artistic favs. both manga and movie. i'm a ho for tayuu and oiran (also generally historical japan but this got a super special spot).

dunno whyyyyy i loved this so much but it was fun and I saw it got a sequel so I'm super pumped lol. I'd opened the sequel when it came out but i am distracted af. adding this for the combo of nostalgia and reminder for my butt TO READ THE SEQUEL ALREADY wheeeeze. school girl mc and a ghost hunter ml~ i was purely in this for the cases lol

a light read about a super lazy high schooler
feel him on a spiritual level loool

it's got a lot of chapters but they're relatively short and super fittingly easy to read~ it's a whole ass mood

this was weird, crazy, and out there and generally a tragedy lol but i won't ever forget it and have read it a good number of times over the years. arts nice & stories questionable lol. love the mangaka and this one especially sticks in my kokoro~ gonna try to add some works from some of the BL mangakas I used to really love (I just can't remember all of them sob).

This is another one by one of my all time fav BL mangakas (who, clearly, does more than BL). I love every single one of their works but chose this one because it's one of the longer ones. All her pieces are unique and charming and her art style is equally so~ they have a special beauty. est em holds a large place in my heartu lol a good number of these stories always stuck with me. (tho having reread them all tonight i will say Equus now....reading it again...got me questioning anatomy hard

honestly this is just one of them because morie satoshi just too good. love the weirdly beautiful stories that are so twisted they dance the boarder of sanity (and then happily hop across~). she does have some less wild, more fluffy ones but I am a fan particularly of the twisted ones, lol. Both her & her sister takagi shigeyoshi/ogawa chise just be pros at those~ ended up rereading so much of their stuff today and i still love it so much sob
