Our Precious Conversations is a series about two characters drawing closer to each other as the name would imply, but there's a lot more nuance than one would expect on a closer look. While much of the series is focused on comedy between the various leads on gags, a lot of what makes it work are the two main characters' genuine reactions to each other's blunders - exaggeration is often kept to a minimum, and characters often progress subtly after jokes as to not repeat those blunders again.

of characters from each other - which cleverly thematically ties into the manga's focus on communications as a means of understanding the other. Much of the manga is beautifully illustrated and drawn, and this focus on both character expressions as well as character writing helps makes this manga a breeze to read. The side cast is similarly extremely well explored, with Nozomin in particular being a standout and my favorite female character in this series
The series' main theme, however, is the breaking of stereotypes and assumptions both characters have about each other - Azuma makes broad, sweeping and often sexist assumptions over what kind of person Aizawa is, but these assumptions add much to the narrative by highlighting both his inexperience as well as his awkwardness with women in general, and get toned down in much of the latter half of the manga as he slowly grows to love her back. In a similar vein, Aizawa is immediately refreshing compared to her shoujo contemporaries by actually confessing to Azuma from chapter 1, yet lacks the confidence to express herself in other ways, being fairly pleasant yet passive as she often refuses to take the lead in conversations with Azuma. These dynamics shift and progress in a positive way as the series goes on, highlighting her gaining confidence in herself as well as taking a more proactive role in their dynamics.
Azuma's character arc is of interest to note, as his blunt and often inappropriate dialogue where he'd stick his foot in his mouth would be the breaking point between one enjoying this manga or completely despising it. Personally, I found his mannerisms entertaining but can somewhat understand why many wouldn't - particularly considering that a lot of his assumptions can easily offend wide portions of this series' audience. Despite that, his apparent straightforwardness by being a man of action that is somehow a stick in the mud won me over, yet this is highlighted as a character flaw the longer the series goes on; he's awfully inconsiderate of other people's feelings, being fairly introverted at the beginning of the story and limiting his interactions with most women to simply tell them off over breaking the rules. This slowly yet surely defrosts, highlighting someone that's afraid of showing any kind of weakness to others, with his character arc emphasizing the need to lean on those he loves in order to not carry burdens alone. He's not as honest as it seems, often disguising his feelings under a layer of embarrassment, yet this changes, tying his character arc about expressing himself rather cleverly with his aspirations to become a writer, making his growth as a character tied to his growth as a writer - his outward personality changing through his interactions with Aizawa, impacting his own talent as a writer. This makes the person he is by the end of the series a separate person from who he was at the beginning, becoming more considerate, empathetic yet honest. His character arc is the best in the series yet unfortunately can easily leave a bad impression due to how his character is introduced - even if thematically relevant and an intentional flaw he outgrows.
In a similar vein, Aizawa starts the series being unable to communicate efficiently with Azuma, being a more introspective person who often keeps her thoughts close to her chest and as mentioned before being rather closed off and hesitant to share her feelings. This conceals a very affectionate young woman who is at a loss at her growing friendship with Azuma, yet continues to grow closer and fall deeper in love with him as he grows as a person, learning more about him compared to the initial rose-colored and naive impressions she had of him. Her role is complimentary to Azuma, wherein she struggles to get closer to him due to his lack of ability to properly interact with her in a way that doesn't in some way verbally hurt her (often to the audience's amusement) and yet - partially perhaps to childishness, maybe due to a curiosity to learn more - acts as the source of inspiration to push Azuma's character forward. Yet, she outgrows this overly naive and romantic understanding of who he is, instead becoming more mature in subtle ways - helping him when sick and correcting him when he's often wrong more often as the series goes on instead of reluctantly letting it slide. Her character arc is about outgrowing her childishness and moving beyond making assumptions on how Azuma'd behave, yet retaining the basic curiosity of wanting to learn about the person she loves all the same, and while isn't as immediately memorable as Azuma stands out as being a character arc that never overstays its welcome and progresses naturally as the series goes on.
This series is an underrated gem that I can't recommend highly enough if you want a refreshing, short yet comfortable shoujo romance manga to read.
Thank you for reading.

here's my problem with series' like this one. what's ... the point? i'm fairly certain that question was even addressed in one of the early chapters of the manga. "what's the point of shoujo manga? it's all just romance over and over again. how boring." and like... yeah. that's true. it does get boring to read tons of shoujo manga at a certain point. however, i'd take a hundred lovely complexs over this. hell, i'm not sure i could finish this if someone forced me to at gunpoint.
it's... so... BORING. i'm sure it picks up some after the point i decided to drop it ...

I really can't say much as so far, only 2 chapters have been scanlated. But, I just had to talk about this. This manga is a comeback from Robiko, the author of the wonderful Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and I have to say, this new manga is very promising. First of all, its premise is balls-to-the-wall hilarious! With just the first two chapters, you will already find yourself laughing. The characters' banter is great and there is so much for this manga to develop. I am so excited for how it will turn out, and I am expecting a lot since Robiko is one of my

This manga is heavy on the dialogue, but you find yourself hooked from the first chapter itself. The art is absolutely amazing (as one would expect from Robiko- sensai) and the characters are given their time to develop. I admit, you will encounter some of the token cliched characters but they are done exceptionally well.
Another interesting aspect is the fact that the manga is very self-aware, to the point that I would call it Meta. The manga-ka often takes classic shoujo troops and turns them into hilarious banters between the two main character. As funny as this story may be,it also comes off as very ...

Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi is from the same author who created Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun or My little monster, It's a beautiful short story about a couple, starts with when our female lead Nozomi Aizawa confesses her feelings to Shirou Azuma.
Shirou Azuma is the series' male lead; he is a bumbling airhead who is still popular in his class; on the other hand, Nozomi Aizawa is very adorable and is head over heals for him, you'll come to like every character in the end and the story flowed so beautifully. I loved this series because- - The romance was not rushed, not dragged. - Not ...

It's been an endless journey for me, trying to look for a romance story that doesn't merely begin with falling in love at first sight. As an avid romance fan, I agree that kind of start always make a great storyline however it's not realistic for me. I can't imagine falling over someone just cause of a single moment.
This manga enters - it takes that typical trope of meeting someone treating the lady MC a little bit differently than rest for her to take notice of him, and spin a unique story out of it. What results out of it is nothing really out ...

When I started reading this one, I was faced with the unnecessary and wrong insults about women. My initial thought was: "Is this a red flag?", however, I realised that it was just a part of the conversation the characters were having, they are discussing, in a way, how men and women act and their views on it, slowly understanding and learning from each other. To be precise: the mc is trying to understand girls and the fc is trying to understand boys. They definitely have more sensible and better conversations than most adults, the female lead especially, she acts very kindly and maturely towards

"Our Precious Conversations" knows what it wants to be, a romantic, feel-good, shoujo manga about 2 teenagers loving each other. The story does not drag on with the premise (unlike some other feel-good romance manga) and concludes it when it needs to.
The story makes you feel warm, side-characters do not get as much attention as, say, Kaguya-sama, but the story makes it clear it does not want to use the characters more than what they are meant to do. This review might make the manga sound a bit "safe" and "conservative" to which I say, it absolutely is. Characters are extremely entertaining, if not a bit ...

This is a tough one to review.
Who should read this: If you are looking for a chill slife of life school romance with likeable characters, a fair amount of cuteness without being overly cringy and great art go for it. The premise is fun, a confession goes wrong but it leads them to actually talk naturally and get to know each other, and share their often different points of view. It's interesting to see the difference in how boys and girls view various situations / arguments. With that out of the way I'll talk about what this work is weak with which is... well.. on paper.. basically ...

"Our precious conversations" is very different from a lot of other shojo manga, it doesn't drag on it's premise, but sums it up quickly and moves on to other conflicts and characters. The story started out with the 2 protagonists getting to know each other, but halfway through the series it shifts to focussing more on the side characters and at the end of the series, the tone is very different compared to the beginning (it gets more serious and dramatic, but not too much) and finishes the story un a neat way.
