dreameragain's manga / #Inner Growth(61)

I absolutely love the honest and go-get-'em personality of the main character! She's inspiring.

It's lovely to read about friendships that are actually as strong as those I've experienced, and I'm so happy with how the story develops within the context of the friendship. She certainly uses an excellent method for discovering who is worth dating. Love this! A rare 5* rating from me.

This story is memorable and sweet. I love how the main character gradually learns about his new friend, then honestly supports and cares for him as he heals from a damaging relationship. I love how good they are together, too.

It could have been a disturbing story due to the ages of the characters, but it develops so respectfully and openly that I had to love it. I especially love the moment of honesty with the family and the loving support between her father and his adopted sibling.

Over the top comedy. I like how the main character begins to learn empathy.

This made me happy on many levels, in part because I have a friend who could easily live as someone's pet like this, with similar compassion and motivation. They compliment each other beautifully as friends, even before she starts thinking of him as more than a companion. I love the character growth through the story, and the realizations about how what we think we want doesn't always give us what we actually want deep down. When she finally realizes he is an independent adult and how much she values him, I want to cheer.

Multiple stars because I fix my paint-smeared clothes the same way he does!... Oh, and the relationships are beautiful and clearly communicated throughout. I especially enjoy the fact that they value their friendships enough not to sabotage each other over envy. Also, the way they communicate in the end is very creative. I love this!

A girl who has accepted the cage her family placed her in meets a boy who understands how to live free. He teaches her to stand up for herself, and she teaches him how to open his heart and trust again. Together, they struggle through every challenge toward their dream. Beautiful story!
