Love will always have its off times, but we can have the courage to love anyway. Sequel to Kimi to Parade, but nothing like Kimi to Parade. It forcefully cracks open the warm, fluffy cocoon that the first manga has placed you in, takes you out and plucks off your wings. But it's so good, so it's not your fault if you can't stop until you're in tears.
The funny story of daily benefits and problems of dating one's best friend. The characters of the simplistic optimist Shunpei and the overthinking pessimist Fumi creates a constant clash that keeps the relationship constantly on edge, but it's also what makes them perfect for each other.
Maya Hideyuki is the. Hottest. Seme. On. The. Planet. And he's found someone to bully when he catches top student Nemugasa Takashi trying to cheat on an exam. The way they turn from an unhealthy obsession to an actual relationship is both interesting and endearing. Plus, they are the sexiest, kinkiest pair Nekota Yonezou has ever come up with, and you can tell how much she's in love with them by the number of doujinshis she made about them. I am not one to complain.
What's better than cats in a manga? Answer: two stray cats praying for a chance to be with the masters they cherish and magically transforming into cute boys. Too fluffy and too sweet for words.
"Love hotels are the place to cultivate love." In his innocence, the eldest child of the late owner of hotel Castle Mango has ingrained a protectiveness over the things that his father loved, including his only brother. When an AV director comes one day and shows interest on both of the things he had sworn to keep safe, he puts everything on the line. A lovable story of cherishing life's treasures and growing up.
At Udagawachou stands a person in pretty women's clothing, but a second glance tells that it's actually a guy. Momose finds out that it's his classmate, Yashiro. A story of uncovering someone's beauty beneath all the layers of makeup and insecurity. Hideyoshico's stories are never really fluffy even when they're meant to be, but I like them that way. There is a deep sense of fulfillment in finishing each one, and this is particularly satisfying.
Three stories. 1) A neet who constantly loses wives and jobs gets an indefinite visit from the god of poverty. 2) Souta discovers what's different about his family, and realizes that it isn't so bad after all. 3) Continuation of the first story, featuring the same Binbougami-turned-shinigami, who meets the legendary subject of the Japanese folklore, Jugemu. The tragedy of immortality and finding another reason to live after two centuries of pointless existence.
Idek about this, but this manga by Hideyoshico stuck to my head like glue. It's actually a twisted story of a role-reversal between a bully and the bullied, now in their middle-aged years. The pace, however, of this "stalker romance" is believable enough to keep one hanging on, hoping for the day they get all lovey-dovey. Even if the beginning circumstances were already weird, you just can't help cheering them on.
"Hold me close and hold me fast
This magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose..."
Story of the sweet, sweet love between Komano and Natsuki. Sensei's mellow plots do not take you on a rollercoaster-ride, but they steal your breath away just the same. The more of her works I read, the more I want to fall in love.
Prequel: Ringo ni Hachimitsu
Yes, I am in love with Harada and I won't bother denying. This one is really good, and if you want an introduction to the wonder that is this mangaka, this is probably one of the more bearable. It's about Momo, a jobless, homeless idiot who finds another sugar daddy in Yata. But will it always be just about having a sponsor, or will he find another reason to stay?
