This proves that adding a puppy to your somewhat generic shoujo can make it better. This is a sweet little story, with a satisfying enough conclusion that doesn't take forever to come about. Some aspects of the ending were a little bit lacking and I didn't feel all that strongly about the main coupl, but still it was a pleasant read. 6t2xq
A quick and effective story. The author takes advantage of the fact that he only has two chapters to weave a short yet still suspenseful tale of love. There's a nice element of mystery there as well, and while I do wish things were more fleshed out the ending was quite satisfying.
This is one of those stories that starts strong, then around halfway starts to lose momentum. You can easily see where the story is going from early on, I mean if you think about it there's only one conclusion given the facts. Yuzuyu is totally adorable, but often times she feels less like a real person and more like a walking drama maker. Sure, she would probably be a little messed up but at...
So normally I don't much care for stories with a slow romance. It often feels like the author is just trying to stretch out the storyas much as possible. Here however the slow romance works for me, since the two characters slowly learn from each other and mature as people. There's no silly misunderstandings or people interrupting confessions here, just two people who grow as their relationship...
So I saw that is had an axed ending, but honestly I don't think the series had that much more steam left anyhow. Things were already getting worn thin around chapter 20 and even though some stuff remains a bit unresolved I think the story wraps up the main couple nice enough (even though I would have liked a bit more closure).
However a lot of this manga just comes across as painfully average...
Really I don't have much to say about Kase-San besides "it's great". I mean the relationship actually progresses, they're a very sweet couple and I just wish there was more of this story. Sometimes I wish there was a little more... plot happening in the plot but I really do just enjoy it overall.
So I had no idea what to expect going into this story and now that I'm finished, I can say it was a mostly positive experience. I enjoyed myself overall, liked the ending and I don't think the story wore out its welcome by being too long. The art was really well done and I even thought the action was easy to follow and exciting. However if it's one place this story drops the ball it's in the plot...
The manga is pretty ok the whole time. Just ok. Right when things seem to be getting somewhere everything just kind of ends. The weird thing is, they could have given this story a much more satisfactory ending but instead they went with this absolute dry hump of a last chapter.
While the romance was "good enough" all said and done this story just meandered around a bit too much for my taste. That...
It's kind of funny that some of the other reviews mentioned it too because I kind of think this is ripping off One Piece a bit, except with girls and a bit of yuri. That's not nessicarily a bad thing, because Banana no Nana does a pretty good job of making an entertaining world that stands out on its own even if it does kind of borrow some elements from a more popular story. The creatures in...
Beast Master is a short manga that still manages to pack in a lot of charm and a couple of interesting characters. Leo in particular is great, the guy feels like a unique love interest while still keeping a lot of those elements that make up a shoujo hero. While Yuiko isn't as interesting, I do like the fact that she's not some completely ive loser, she fights for what she wants too. The...
Right out of the gate this manga gives you a decent plot hook, I was at least intrigued to begin with. However long term there's certainly a slow decline in quality, leading to a pretty lukewarm ending. I did enjoy how the story actually dealt with some pretty heavy issues, but the obligatory third wheel love interest character just ruined the story for me with her constant shit. I just wanted...
If this had been a longer series I would have dropped it for sure. Even more chapters of young couples acting like they're masters of love would have just driven me insane. Honestly I sympathize with Hajime a lot of the time because most of the people in this manga acted totally insufferable. We get it you're better off because you're in a relationship.
All of this paired with the characters...
Bonnouji is a great little romantic manga. It has a small cast of warm characters, actual progression with the relationship between our two main leads and a satisfying ending. Really, there's hardly anything that I would say is outright bad here. So why isn't it getting a 10/10? Well, while the story is adorable sometimes I found that there wasn't much keeping me invested. The two main leads get...
A quick ten-chapter affair, this story may be short but it has a lot of heart to it. Most of the early manga is mostly the cute setup of the couple with a bit of drama scattered throughout, while the second half kind of reverses that balance. They actually touch on some issues that other yuri manga gloss over, like the fact that society is pressuring them to break up again after graduation. I don...
So this was kind of a surprise for me that I ended up liking this as much as I did, during the early chapters there was a few times where I was sure the story was going to start petering off soon and then suddenly I was over halfway through the series. One of the greatest strengthens of this series is the length, it feels long enough that they can have an actual plotlines and story arcs while not...
It's mangas like this that make me appreciate shorter series in general. Though one of my biggest gripes about this is that it should have been longer (at least double length) what we do have is a quick and heartwarming love tale between two interesting characters. There's only 6 chapters, and as a result there isn't a lot of character development. Heck the chapters aren't even very long so this...
If I could sum up this whole manga in one word it would be 'unfocused'. There's a few times when I was a bit confused as to what was going on, and the plot just kind of meandered about. Sure it's cute but it's unfortunately not very interesting.
One of the first mangas I ever read, and one I always liked more before it became DBZ ultimately. The fights were always a little more clever and the humor a little more genuine. This is still a classic for a reason, there's never been anyone quite like Goku even though practically every shounen hero since has been a copy of him in some way. Though the series does have some flaws (like the pacing...
An absolutely adorable romance, in the end it's about two women finding each other and one of them kind of growing up in the process. I really just enjoy this title and recommend it strongly to everyone. It should only take you less than an hour to read anyhow.
So this was a nice series. Was really into it. Unfortunately what we have is all there's going to be because it ended up getting cancelled. Nina is a bit too tsundere for my tastes, but besides that I liked most of the characters. However the last chapter really is disappointing, things just stop and it doesn't even have a rushed ending.
This is a quick and bittersweet story packed with some strong feels, though to me it never felt like it was going overboard into overdramatic territory. I really don't have much to say about this, it had a couple of relatable characters and an ending which is both sad and life-affirming. It was maybe a bit too short but it IS a oneshot, but I can't imagine the story being fleshed out into a full...
So I usually hate the harem genre. Mostly it means that a story just isn't going to have elements that I enjoy. That's why I'm so glad I read this series, it's genuinely funny stuff. Even besides that, I found myself getting invested in the characters way more in this series than in other similar harem stories. Even though this doesn't have the parody tag I do personally consider this a parody of...
For the most part this is honestly a simple manga. It's pretty much just the slice-of-life activities of the main couple as they go through high school and get closer to each other in the process. No real drama or even many misunderstandings, just two young people and their feelings.
That lack of drama is both a good thing and a bad thing at times. Good in that you can see the couple grow without...
First of all, the main couple are just adorable together. What I like about this manga is that the couple actually gets together early on, and it progresses to a satisfying and relatively drama-free end. The only reason this doesn't get a 10/10 is mainly because it's a little forgettable. Nice story and all but nothing really stands out as exceptional. Even our main couple, even though they are...
This is the prime example of a manga where there would be no drama if the characters just asked questions or talked to each other. There's nothing particularly wrong with it other than that I guess, except maybe that the characters are kind of boring. To be blunt, there's not actually much I liked or disliked. I think 5/10 is the most appropriate score for such a mediocre manga.
While I do like this manga overall, the beginning is certainly the worst part. Besides the fact that things move at a snails' pace, the story is also plagued with those little misunderstandings that would be solved in about 5 minutes in real life and characters sometimes just act stupid as hell. All that aside though, I liked the characters and the whole thing had a nice happy conclusion. Morinaga...
I have to agree with the other comments here, the artwork is extremely nice in this story. Though the action scenes did leave a little something to be desired overall I think the art was nearly perfect. I wish I could say the same for the plot which sadly is cut short. I will it though, even if this wasn't axed I wonder how long things could have gone on. I had the distinct impression that the...
I have nothing but the highest iration for this series. It does so much right, has interesting characters, a well-realized and fantastic world, and an intriguing plot to boot. All without wearing out its' welcome like so many other shounen series do. I really love it when it feels like a manga artist sat down before the series and thought out how he plot was going to go, and you can tell that...
I'm surprised this is a seinen because this feels very much like a shoujo affair overall. Not that this is a bad thing, the story is nice and romantic while not being overly dramatic or silly. Plus the length works in the story's favor, just long enough where I'm satisfied while leaving me wanting just a few more chapters past the ending.
There's some minor gripes I've got with the story. For one,...
What is it about yuri stories being too short? This is another nice school life yuri-flavored romance that's quite well done but seems to end just a bit too early. Sometimes it felt like they were kinda rushing through the story to get to the next plot point, I can't help feeling like even a couple more chapters would have helped things feel more natural. Still, the ping pong stuff was kinda neat...
I don't know why I like this oneshot so much. A couple of the comments here say that the story felt rushed, and while I agree that it might have been better had the story been given more pages I got the impression that things moved along nicely. You can pretty clearly see that the blonde likes our main character from the way she's so concerned over him even though she constantly berates him, and...
I really found myself enjoying the hell out of this, more than I thought I would for sure. I still think that the first chapter is the roughest, there's a ton of words as they set up the plot and I just don't find it natural to read. However power through that and you'll find a relationship that is very sweet and feels much more genuine than 95% of romances portrayed in other manga. If you're put...
This was an alright manga, the art was nice and the characters were pleasant enough. However it really doesn't have much to offer besides being cute. There's not much plot to speak of at all and there's no drama either so after 19 chapters I felt like not much had actually happened. It's fine if you like lighthearted fun but there's really not much depth
This entire manga was just dumb. For a lot of reason. I mean, just the fact that there's basically no plot or character development is already bad enough but the series doesn't even try to do anything very interesting. That and if you think about some parts of the story too much it'll make your head hurt. Like, she has over 50k sobame right? Think about this logically, even if she spent time with...
This is a nice short manga that'll give you those heartwarming feels. I took off a few points because overall the story is pretty surface level. Most of the characters are kinda bland and there's little going on in of plot. Plus it's so predictable you practically know how it's going to end before you start reading. However despite all of that this story has a nice flow to it and the...
I'm still convinced that this had an axed ending or something because this certainly needed more of a wrapup than it got. Satoka kind of disappears from the story after a while, and even though there's only ten chapters the plot just meanders about until it's finally over. Certainly disappointing.
While I didn't completely love this manga, I have to it that there's some things it does really well. For one I thought the pacing was great, I almost never got bored reading through this story and pretty much kept turning pages until the end. The characters are also well done for the most part, I like most of their designs and everyone is pretty well-rounded. Like others have mentioned Karin...
So little known fact, I'm actually a huge pervert. That being said, this manga hits so many fetishes for me... I just think its awesome. I have kind of a thing for tall women, cavewomen, and a whole lot of other things I'd rather not post. But I think it's great. This isn't a deep story or anything but there actually IS a plot, believe it or not. Heck the story even has a touching ending, which I...
So like the other comments here have said, this manga takes things a little differently by focusing on a different girl in every volume. At the end he ends up with one girl and when the next volume starts the plot also resets. This setup has a couple of advantages over a normal manga, namely that no girl feels marginalized and everyone ends up with a quick 8-10 chapter plot that concludes nicely...
So I was ready to give this series a 10/10, or at least a good 9.5. I was reading along, then I hit the end suddenly. At first I thought that I had somehow missed the last chapter, and I went on a few different sites looking for this "actual ending". Needless to say that when I found out the truth I was none too happy. Just to be clear the ending isn't awful or anything. But it IS straight up...
This was alright, I have very little to complain about. My only main issue is that this is shounen, which usually means the romance will be lukewarm at best and this is no exception. The story is more about people finding what they want to be in life but really I didn't find that much more compelling. My opinion is that the manga is fine sure, but it really does come across as terribly forgettable...
This manga was missing something for me. I reading it through in one sitting, and even though I did find it compelling I also really found it lacking as well. I still don't exactly know what it is, but I suspect that it just doesn't go far enough. The author kind of played it a little too safe with Koharu in the end, she's a yandere but she's not really all that crazy (I mean she ain't...
It's not often that I feel so completely bored reading a manga. Near the end I was just skimming pages in order to get it over with. Mikuni mopes around and Hina goes after him even as you kind of wonder why. This reminds me of Mars, minus any sort of soul.
First off let me say that I like how this series handles Tsundere. I hate tsundere characters in most manga because frankly I think they act completely unrealistic. Two series where I think the tsundere girls actually seem (mostly) realistic however are Toradora and this series. Yuiko is just a girl who's not very good at expressing herself, she doesn't do stupid stuff like beat up the main...
If you're looking for a nice quick smutty adventure story with lesbians and pirates then by gosh this is the manga for you. The story obviously doesn't take itself very seriously, if you kind of turn your brain off for a while this is a fun read
Love Roma was a really refreshing story in a lot of ways. Hoshino is a pretty interesting protagonist in that he's blunt and honest with how he feels, and he isn't enormously indecisive like most manga characters. Negishi is a little less interesting overall but she does play off Hoshino well, and the dynamic between the two is what drives this for the most part.
Things do unfortunately tend to...
When I saw that one of the two main characters for this series was 10, I was ready to skip the whole thing. Lolicon is something that'll turn me off to most manga. I've gotta say right here though that I enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I was going to. I have a lot of patience with comedy slice of life series if they actually make me laugh, and this series can usually get me to laugh once a...
Look I think this is a pretty touching manga and all but there are just some moments that are just too weird. It goes well beyond the limit when the main character is literally sneaking into the school of the teenager he's romantically interested in. I guess it wouldn't be so weird if he at least, you know, tried to date a woman his age. This just sometimes comes across as stalking more than...
So Molester Man is one of those mangas I ignored for the longest time based on the name alone. I'm glad I gave in and read it though, because the story here was pretty well done without feeling too sappy.
Like my subject like says, one of the only complaints I have against this series is that there's just too many words. I know this was a 2chan thread first and all, but some pages especially early...
The description of this story kind of stopped me from reading it for a while. I started it on a whim and I found myself hooked, I kept reading until I was finished. To start with, the biggest strength in the series is the characters. This is seinen so the characters are allowed to be at least a little more complex than your average romance manga character. I wouldn't really call this story...
Frankly I was pretty excited to read this series when I first heard about it, since I had seen it recommended quite a few times and most of the reviews were positively glowing. However I have to say I just don't understand what everyone sees in this story. It's not very exciting, suspenseful, romantic or even well written. In fact I suspect that this story only got popular because it's pretty much...
Yeah this was alright. The art's well done, and the characters are pleasant enough. If you're into comical misunderstandings and watching a dude get constantly cockblocked then this is the manga for you. Doesn't offer much more than that however. Even though it's only 18 chapters it honestly feels like they should have had less chapters or actually developed the relationships a bit better.
While this is not my favorite Yuri story out there, (that honor goes to Poor Poor Lips ultimately) I do consider this the "best" Yuri series I've read. It was moving, the characters felt real (not like crazy anime characters, actual people) and the romance felt honest and earned. Our main couple have some hurdles they need to overcome, and they mess up a few times along the way but the drama doesn...
Another short but solid story from Morinaga Milk. Unlike most stories at this length I thought this one did very well, giving us a quick but heartwarming romance without leaving a feeling like the story is still largely untold. While I do like our two main leads they're not terribly developed as characters, most of the story deals with their situation rather than them growing as people for the...
So I picked this up not expecting much, mostly because 30 chapters or so didn't seem like it would take very long. I'm really glad I read this though since it managed to tell a very nice tale of a young man learning to grow up. Not your normal coming of age story to be sure, but one that comes across as surprisingly powerful throughout. There are some moments of heartbreak in this story that feel...
This was a fun little series, even if it was a bit vapid at times. I like how our main guy is not a complete loser and actually has some balls every now and then... you know eventually. I like the main characters well enough and I think there's a lot of nice sweet moments. Oh and actual sex. One of the only issues I can raise against this series is kind of a big one though, I never bought in on...
I think this is probably my favorite romance manga. It's certainly the one I've re-read the most, and it's got my favorite couple. Plus I not only find it genuinely funny but also touching, heartwarming and even sad at times. What I love about this story is that it's very well balanced and plotted out. It really does feel like someone ACTUALLY sat down before they started the comic and planned out...
Poor Poor Lips is one of my favorite romance manga out there, so when I learned that there was this brief epilogue I was excited to read it. I thought the end of PPL was perfectly fine and sweet, but I have absolutely no objections having this expanded ending to definitively tell us what became of Ren and Nako. The only reason I'm not giving this a 10/10 is because I would have liked at least a...
I really enjoyed this one shot overall. Had that very rare fat protagonist, and the characters were pretty memorable. But one thing was kinda weird, it was pretty long for a one shot yet they went with this ending that leaves you wanting
This was really a manga with a lot of highs and lows for me. Let me just say first that I liked the second half way more than the first half, though there is undoubtedly a charm throughout the whole story. The biggest strength of this manga is by far the art, Irie does a fantastic job bringing every to life and since our characters can use magic that means there's all sorts of fantastic...
Back in the day this was the first manga series I ever read, so to this day it kind of has a special place for me. I can acknowledge that there's some issues with this series, namely that the situations/comedy gets pretty repetitive and there's not much of an overall plot if you care about that. However I find Ranma to be quite a funny series, and most of the time the action is quite well done...
Early on I held high promise for this manga, it's a pretty unique plot and it felt like things were going to start moving along nicely. The main problem is that after things get started things slow down to a crawl. Marina will just randomly decide to flip how she's treating Rinosuke at the drop of a hat without telling him a word and stuff like that. Besides that point Rinosuke is just annoyingly...
So I do think that this is above average overall, but there's a couple of glaring problems with the story. One of the biggest issues is, I know why the maid chick likes Fuwa but they don't set up a reason for him to like her other than "she has big tits". It just feels like they could have tried harder to establish an actual relationship between the two. I don't think they even had a legit...
Manga had a great start, and I liked our main characters. Then the plot started to drag and even though this story is only 19 chapters by the end I was kinda ready for it to be done. Would still recommend if you're looking for a nice romance with a "good enough" ending
I have to agree with what a few of the other reviewers have said so far, this is an enjoyable and well-done series that does a good job of not overindulging in various shoujo tropes found in a lot of other stories. Haruna in particular is a fun character to read about, she doesn't act much like most other shoujo heroines I've seen and thankfully doesn't get all dramatic at the drop of a hat.
I...
I really don't have much to say about this, if only because what's available is only the prologue to a bigger story that got axed. I liked the main couple and I was kinda digging the slower pace that the story was taking. Then it just kinda stops. So I'm forced to give this a 7/10, it's fine enough but it's just a snippet of a story that'll never be fully told.
A nice and quick read, I really don't have much to say about this 8-chapter title. It was good enough with a nice main character in the form of Onda, it makes me wish there was more girls like her in manga. I kind of wish that this would be expanded but at the same time the story is kind of perfect length as is, I just always want more romance.
Here we have another short series with a premise that at least hasn't been done to death yet. Though the drama can seem a bit forced at times (especially the plot twist around chapter 16) I liked it quite a lot, and at least it felt like things were moving forward constantly. Sometimes I say that I wish there was more story, but to be completely honest I think this particular story would have been...
So I really liked this going in. I was really interested in Arima as a character, and the story is really good at evoking emotion from the reader. It was only around halfway through the story where I can issues that began to crop up.
Let me say one of my biggest gripes first, I don't think playing music makes for a great manga. Well, it CAN make for a great manga but here I just don't know how...
There's no two ways around it, this manga has a terrible ending. I went from being totally into the story to almost breaking my tablet in anger. I just have no idea what the hell the author was thinking and it kind of makes me want to punch him in the throat. Yes I know that this isn't exactly a well written and objective point of view or anything but this ending just makes me upset. Way to piss...
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't like this manga as much as I do. I mean it's funny but it's not super funny or anything, I like the cast of characters but they're not super memorable, sometimes the whole thing comes across as terribly mediocre. Yet I still read the whole thing in one session and I've re-read it at least twice since. I guess maybe it's how the characters interact with each other,...
I don't think I've laughed so much while reading a manga in a while. I skipped this when I first saw it because honestly I thought the dino-girl design was stupid, but it does grow on you. Besides that though this is a great comedy manga with some nice romance moments. The premise is ridiculous as hell and I just love it.
What stops this from being a 10 in my book is the fact that the series...
A nice romance with an intriguing mystery. The art is really well done in this manga, really it's one of the strongest points that it has. The story has a nice sense of pacing, and I get the feeling that the artist had a definite ending in mind when he started. Things start out lighthearted but also get appropriately dark when it needs to, especially near the end when you find out more about Yuuko...
Early on during this story I had such high hopes. The characters were interesting and I was really liking the focus on Spanish dancing, it was something new and interesting for the manga to focus on. Then at some point things just start to stagnate. You just want things to move along already and yet it feels like the author keeps moving the goalpost back further and further. Also while I did enjoy...
This was a really pleasant story with good pacing, some characters I could actually get invested in and a touching relationship. One of my only complaints is that I wish the story was just a little bit longer, though the ending was certainly satisfying enough.
If you're looking for a quick and relatively drama-free story I highly recommend this
So like everyone else I consider this a classic in the romance genre. It deserves its' place there as well, the characters are memorable, it's pretty funny, and the plot is just classic Japanese wackiness. If you can get over the old art style and the repetitive nature of the humor (Ataru is a pervert to not-Lum and Lum does not like this fact, repeat for 350+ chapters, which I'll it tried my...
So cards on the table, I don't think the ending is that bad. It's not the greatest sure but I have to say that it's one of the more memorable endings I've head at least. Like many say here in the reviews, the first half on the manga is the best and most well-focused part. Things get kinda choppy in the second half, mostly because that's when the romance really starts to kick in as well. Then there...
This is the kind of romance manga I like. It tells a nice little story without needing 100+ chapters and does something a little bit different. There's some minor issues overall, like how things start off really well plotted out but the end seems kinda less well put together. I get the feeling the author may have had to rush things a little but still the ending is satisfying and sweet.
