This is a story about masks, and playing along, and breaking free. It's about looking for a white rabbit in Shibuya, about destroying the status quo, about etudes and ad-libs and past trauma. It's about getting a peek of a wonderful world and not being able to come back.
This is a story about theater.
First of all, let me say this one thing: I am so, so mad. I am angry. I hate that after reading 32 chapters on a row, after finishing this masterpiece, after being brought to tears, I got flashed with 4koma gags at the end and burst out laughing. I hate feeling

This is a story about being hikkikomori, being bribed with meat, how discovering a new world and learning about it may make you love it (even if you did not expect it), weeb culture and having an otp.

Yagiza no Yuujin
(Manga)
add
I'm here to write a review that I have been putting off for more than two months.
Yagiza no Yuujin, or "My Capricorn Friend", which I call "Capricorn" when I aggressively recommend it to my friends, is a story about a mystery, a mystical veranda and a bloody baseball bat. It's also a story about scapegoats, escaped goats, and regret. Let me start by saying that I desperately read this manga. I remember consuming the whole volume, stopping only when the story did. I then went on with my day, went to sleep, and read the whole thing again the next day. We start by hearing about ...

Dadadadan.
(Manga)
add
Dadadadan is a story of friendship, a waifu called Nagul, being a loner, and breaking a window a couple times.
If you know me even a tiny little bit, you probably know a simple fact: I adore idiots. I wish I was exaggerating, but an idiot character is an endearing character for me. It's automatic. I do not get a choice nor a say in the matter. And this manga is completely full of idiots. Our trio of leads are terrible with ladies, each of them for their own reason. Mikami hates them with a passion and somehow manages to have rights even as a misogynist, Mina ...

Babel-shiki Kami Girl
(Manga)
add
This is a story about the magic that can be found in the mundane, and about how everyone has their own passion, no matter how eccentric it may be.
A manga I found by coincidence. If you are looking for some cool battle action, this isn't for you. It also isn't if you want a huge, intense plot - this story is a slice of life at it's core, and shine the brightest in the chapters in which it is literally that, without a plot. Characters aren't that fleshed out, but that's ok. The two main leads do go through a bit of development, and there's room ...

Saiaku na Futari no Hajimari wa
(Manga)
add
So! Saiaku na Futari no Hajimari wa.
This is a story about finding out what it means to be in love, and what it means to be loved, and how sometimes love can be born in the weirdest relationships. I was first drawn to it by the art - I find it to be so delicate, like the images were drawn on an extremely fragile medium. I was happy to discover that it is a cute and fluffy love story, thankfully avoiding the nº 1 most hated boy love trope. The characters are interesting, especially Hinami, a rich kid whose thought process is... quite something. Not so ...

Dear Noman
(Manga)
add
This was a story about growing as a person, and about letting go.
Even though it's got "endings" as it's main theme, Dear Nolan has an upbeat tone, impulsing you to keep pushing forward. This is an extremely short read, but it does feature some character development, and we can take a nice peek at a rich, lore-filled world. The art is mostly simple, but extremely pretty - it reminded me of watercolors, and of sketches. Just as a heads-up, there is no real romance per se: the bonds developed are more platonic in nature. It was a moving read nonetheless, but if you came here ...

I've never written a review before, but this hidden gem absolutely deserves it.
This is a story about friendship, music, and accepting others. There is already a synopsis, but it does not mention a key fact: this manga is absolutely HILARIOUS. I cannot for the life of me count the amount of times I laughed out loud. It throws the weirdest curveballs at you, like the legends of Othello or how a sunflower is the strongest creature out there. And after that, it just gut punches you in the feels, surprising you, asking you if you care for the characters yet - making you realize that, actually, ... |
