Here And There And Us (And Then And After)
MORE GIVE ME MORE I NEED MORE
Here and There and Us
i've always been pretty on the fence about thanats work. i enjoy the high tension dynamics between her characters and the subtle but memorable ways she makes them come to life, but at the same time they could be so beyond convention as to be hard to connect to. so the sweet and candid nature of this one really surprised me! this is one of the best slow-burn romances i've ever read, and even beyond that one of the better school slice of life mangas. the way thanat writes dialogue is amazing, the characters feel like real teenagers with all the fleeting baggage of coming of age. the particular archetypes these characters fit into are also delightfully subverted, they just feel so fleshed out despite the relatively simplistic nature of their conflicts and proclivaties. good writing can make such a difference for manga!
The One Within the Villainess
this is the best villainess isekai ive ever read, the only thing that could make it better was if it were gayer but hey i can live with this
