Scent of a Witch

Complete | A Reu | 2017 released

Out of all the Manga I have read thus far, this is the first ‘adult only’ Manga that felt this epic (I’ve been searching for so long). By epic I mean that it had everything packed into it, as in: Romance, Action, Violence, Death/Chance of death, Sacrifices, Romantic Turbulence, Passion and Longing, Conflict and Internal Conflict, Scheming, Alliances and Betrayal, Torture, Supernatural, Super Powers, Believable Psychology, Trauma (both past and present), a Larger Cast of Characters, Several Cultures and Ideologies and a very satisfying amount of Smutty Yaoi (though it would be great to read a Manga that had both gay and straight relations represented - like in real life - but shown in the Yaoi form, where the “woman position” [though I hate that term] is, in my opinion, more likely to be more respectful and empowering to a woman than many of the ‘straight’ manga I have read thus far). I’m a hard to please on historical, studied it as University major (planned to do PhD, but became disabled instead) I’m also hard to please on witches, having been a Wiccan and very hard on the illogical, as I’m autistic (Aspergers). But the story line was so great and believable enough that when reading it I didn’t get distracted by, or even notice anything wrong in any big way. I hope to find more as good as this one, as it made my disabled, often bed-bound life a little brighter for a day.

Wagamama na Jewel

Complete | SAWAUCHI Sachiyo | 2008 released

5 ch. = 6 ch. total - trans. 2011 Sawauchi Sachiyo I felt the second story (ch 2) had a great concept, but I think it could have been executed a lot better than it was. 1. Tenshinchigi (Gods of Heaven and Earth) The gods of earth, water, fire, wind and thunder gather together every day for their assignments. In between causing storms and rain showers love develops. 2. Fragile but Strong Mayden, the king from Dumayden and Alexander, the king from Alectoria, are best friends. One day Mayden proposes a marriage between his eldest son and Alexander's only daughter but, unknown to most, the king's daughter is actually a rebellious teenaged boy! What happens when Prince Mayville turns up for the marriage interview and meets beautiful but headstrong Alec instead of the rumoured Black Rose Princess Sandra? 3. Stray Cat Rock Simple first aid to a wounded stranger is interpreted as something more. 4. A Wanderer's Love A host who enjoys preying on women finds himself unexpectedly falling for a male florist's beautiful bouquets 5. Love Monster Returning home drunk from a group date Hayato finds a strange vagabond on his doorstep who turns out to be his Uncle Tooru.
