yeah, i'm way too attached to these characters. the storytelling and WORLDBUILDING in this thing is absolutely phenomenal. they've gone through so much, poor children, they deserve a happily ever after. if you want to rant, come to me.

| Emma, Norman and Ray are best friends and the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. They live happy, peaceful lives with their caretaker, "Mom", and their family. But Emma and Norman discover a dark, deadly secret— and these cattle children desperately try to escape their doom of being devoured...

this is definitely my favorite, such a thrilling tale.

i really like this, and it's super underrated/unknown. Why doesn't anyone talk about beautiful story?

| A heartfelt story about a small boy who joins a choir with an angelic and mesmerizing soprano voice, but his voice will soon change as he goes through puberty... and his beautiful high voice will soon go away. But thankfully, the buddies he's made (although going through problems of their own) are there to help him through it.

Unfinished.

woah, it's significantly less dark than some of the others and still has that wonderful childhood wonder. the art is magical, literally and the details are stunning, holy fuck. everyone is extremely lovable.

| This manga is superb, gorgeous and breathtaking. The very definition of hidden gem. The story follows Coco, a stubborn girl that wishes to become a witch but was not born with magic, and has almost given up on her dream.

This is her stunning story. Chock full of mystery, originality, and perseverance, Coco explores a magical world she could only dream about. And of course, she makes some dear witch friends along the way, in their quaint little Atelier.

so many questions left unanswered, (well atm i haven't even finished reading all of the chapters) but the dark art gives off a foreboding and mysterious vibe. definitely supernatural (there's a mind boggling curse and a wendigo).

| Shiva, a young girl who loves to stroll about in the countryside, lives with her guardian, a wendigo-like gentleman. He forbids her from going outside, so she won't be cursed, but Shiva's curiosity makes her yearn for the outside world. What is this curse about?

———
Woah. The concept is so mysterious and captivating, and the art feels so foreboding and dark- seriously capturing every ounce of my attention. It's so heartwarming but deeply strange.

again, more of a lighthearted story in the midst of all this dark. about a lady working at a small cafe, the visitors, and the delicious food they cook up. i must say though, she seems to be stuck in some sort of coma or limbo, unable to wake up. has a really dreamy, slow vibe to it all.

| One day, Suzume finds herself unable to wake up, lost in a place known as the "Unwaking Town," Lutetia. There, she works at a coffee shop named "Quatre."

It's so lovable & interesting, and the ambiance is always calm and chill, the kind of café I would love. She seems to be stuck in some kind of limbo, and there are so many questions left unanswered. It's very wondrous, and there are cute mini recipes in each chapter.
