an og maid x nobleman manga. i just love this artist’s sense for storytelling - there are many pages where characters go without speaking, without explanation. secret looks. quick touches. truly a manga that relies on the illustration to set a scene… but prob my fave thing is the artist’s absolute fanaticism for maid uniforms… they’re so lovingly drawn, it’s a bit funny. but lovely all the same! 9/10

a young muslim slave girl lives peacefully with the mistress who treats her like a daughter. her world is violently disrupted when the mongols come to conquer the city to rip her away from everything she knows. a story set in a turbulent time of 13th century in the Mongol Empire. the art is cartoony and vivacious, yet the plot cuts unexpectedly sharp. (and it’s just getting started!) 8/10

a niece and her estranged aunt learn to live together in the wake of tragedy. i started this manga solely because i thought the aunt was handsome (and she was!!), but it was lovely to discover the depth of this story - how grief manifests strangely and belatedly, how a mother can haunt you past her death, how love can persist and grow even if you don’t feel up for the challenge. such a beautiful story with such an emotionally satisfying payoff. 10/10

completed. slice of life, some romance

ritzhard is an unpopular bachelor because of his wintry territory, and sieglind has never married due to her intimidating status as a decorated soldier. this is a peaceful tale of their cohabitation - it’s less of a romance and more of an extended series of “how it’s made” snippets. how do you make alcohol? cheese? how do you make use of every part of an animal? a soothing and lovely read, though i wish there was more mentions of the geopolitics. 8/10

a shy, nerdy guy becomes roomies with a stylish girl after a series of miscommunications. it’s a cute and simple manga showing the silly and quiet cohabitation of two people who are more similar than they think. i like the quiet introspection and character development of two people who learn more about each other just from being exposed to each other. nice, simple, cute. 8/10

yoshiki knows his best friend, and the thing that came down from the mountains is not his best friend. think of the age-old story archetype of a “changeling” and turn it up to 100. the cicadas are buzzing, the crickets are chirping, and the ghost wearing your best friend’s skin beckons to you, begging you to love him back. i mean, what can yoshiki really do in that situation? NOT be tragic and gay? lol. an utterly enthralling story. 10/10
