Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo (Manga) add

Recommended

Preliminary (35/59 chp)

Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo is one of those shoujo-ai manga you don't really keep up with the updates nor get really into it. Its genre mostly is based upon comedy so this manga is very light-hearted. For those trying to look for an intense yuri/shoujo-ai manga checking out yagakimi or citrus would be a better choice.

Story : This manga doesn't solely focus on the main couple but explores different characters love life set in the same universe thus the main story shifts around a lot never focusing on any particular characters but in the end still coming back to the ... mains. The recent chapters starts approaching and exploring more parts of the main characters and if i may say so bringing in the serious-ness of the manga. There's no certain attachment for readers towards the characters. Yet, the main story can be quite captivating as we follow Kurosawa's journey of 'self-discovery' with the help of the love interest Shiramine Ayaka. The story line also moves at a questionably slow rate. I rate this 7/10

Art : As far as art goes i would say this is quite good. The art style is unique and the expressions of the characters are fun to read. There is nothing much to say about the art as i find it very enjoyable and comfortable. I rate this 8/10

Character : In terms of characters we have a wide variety to choose from. There are multiple couples in this manga whose story you will eventually come across but unlike the main characters they do not have much character development. As per say, the recent chapters focuses more on the main characters and we see changes in their personality. The character development of this story mainly focuses on developing the main and i see no reference whereby the side characters will receive any in the future. I rate 7/10

Enjoyment : I always have a thing for light-hearted manga's so i really enjoyed this. If you're looking for a quick and simple fun-to-read manga this is one of the best out there. There is no specific in depth plot line that feels intense. There's plenty of comedy with a slight hinge of heart-wrenching but mostly filled with enjoyable interactions and blushing between both main and side characters.

Overall : I enjoyed it a lot. However this isn't a must-read shoujo-ai manga for fans out there. The plot is arranged on purpose to enhance the messy-ness of the manga as they move from characters to characters but never stray from the main characters. Its something to pick up only when you're absolutely bored but in its defense i absolutely love this manga.

This manga is not overrated nor is it underrated, its not on the highest must-read shoujo-ai list for a reason. It's right where its suppose to be. If you like it you like it, its not like one of those manga's where the further you progress the more entrance you will be by it. Its not one of those immersive manga's but nevertheless its a good manga that's worth a shot ;)

Yagate Kimi ni Naru (Manga) add

Recommended

Preliminary (26/50 chp)

Yagate Kimi ni Naru is at the top of my list in the Yuri genre. Unlike most retrospect Yuri manga there's a solid reason why this manga is considered the very best for me.

Plot/Story : The plot itself is significant and very unpredictable which is an element you rarely find in manga nowadays. The originality is the best part of this manga in my opinion. It revolves around 2 girls with very different approach to 'love' and has very different ways of defining it. Whereby one has achieved the ability to love and another has not yet*. As the story progress we see the ... main protagonist making agonizing decisions questioning herself if she should allow her feelings to flow or to put a stop to it. If she falls in love she will lose her partner. But if she keep her feelings bottled up she would still be with her partner but not be able to express anything. This puts a strain on their relationship and raises questions on whether to suppress her feelings or not. Heart-wrenching and painful to read but very immersive. I rate 10/10

Art : Like many other manga out there the winning card is on the art. Yagate Kimi ni Naru is no different. Its an eye candy for those who enjoy good art. The artist (Nakatani) does the job well and doesn't cut corners. The art style is very manga-like meaning its very common but that doesn't mean it isn't good. Its neat and comfortable for the eyes. I personally really enjoy the art style but feel like there is a slight hint of 'chibi-ness' in the art which really adds to the character. I rate 9/10

Character : Unlike most manga's Yagate Kimi ni Naru's characters are slightly more special. They don't revolve around the plot or the surroundings rather they are THE plot. As you read you don't feel like the characters are purposely placed in the setting but rather the setting works to their characters. There is plenty of character development which is a blast to read. You see progress on the character development thus you see progress on the plot. Same concept ;) I rate 10/10

Enjoyment : Overall my experience has been amazing as i flipped through the pages of this manga. There is no special fan-service or the sort in this manga. Plain and simple, this manga doesn't try to appeal to a specific type of readers but attempts to create their own readers. Partially thats why i think this manga is underrated. This manga takes story-telling differently. The twist and turns happen at the most unexpected moments and more often than once this manga is exploring a different part of a story where many manga have never done. I rate 9/10

Overall : All in all this manga has been an amazing experience. One very big downside is the slow updates. Yes, this manga is still on-going. Updates are very slow but there is still progress in the story. I really wished i had found it after it has been completed just so i can binge read this. I rate 9/10

There's a reason why this manga is on the top of my list and outshines the others and it comes from the realistic originality of the plot. Manga's tend to get real sometimes and Yagate Kimi ni Naru is one of those manga. They raise questions for the readers that leave them thinking twice in real life. It doesn't follow the cliche pattern of the usual shoujo-ai yuri manga but creates a truly different relationship between 2 girls.

Citrus (Manga) add

Recommended

Preliminary (33/50 chp)

The 'Forbidden Love' genre in a genre that is often found in shoujo ai manga and appeals to many readers thus making Citrus one of the most popular Yuri manga out there considering the fact that they heavily focus on it.

The story mainly revolves around a sort of love-hate relationship between 2 protagonist. One more passionate and caring of the relationship than the other. Its filled with many heart-warming, heart-wrenching moments and clenches at your emotions. More often than once your heart tend to go with the flow of the story which brings you up and down.

If you like heart-clenching moments this is ...
