This show has quickly jumped to one of my favorites of all time, The character development, charm, character dynamic, amazing soundtrack, amazing artwork, wonderfully written story, amazing ending, and so much more makes this show a must watch. I highly recommend it to anyone who is into slice of life, or wants to get into it, you will not be disappointed with this amazing show. There is just something so special about this show that I can't explain, it feels real, I get extremely excited over the characters accomplishments, there personalities are so good it adds to the enjoyable so much, and with the amazing
...
art and sound track harmonizing perfectly, it never leaves me bored at all, I also believe there voice acting was done extremely well. I'm not one to re-watch a lot of shows, but I know that I'm going to be re-watching this multiple times for sure! Can't wait to read Aria and Amano, Kozue's other works as well!

For me I really enjoyed the ending, you may think how can a romance have enough development without kissing or sex, but with this story Urabe really carries because she is such a gloomy person barely talking, and when you see her so love stuck happy go lucky smiling it really puts a smile on your face as well. The ending also really leaves it up to readers for interpretation in a good way, they don't tell what exactly happens in the future but shows that Urabe wants to be with Tsubaki forever. It turns from a story which your expecting loads of ecchiness and
...
sex into a story with lots of ecchiness and a wholesome ending with lots of character development from Urabe which is the character I think everyone cares about the most.
Story:
This story is pretty interesting with such a weird Idea you’d expect it to be, so It keeps you very much intrigued, but at the same time I do think the anime really helps with the engagement because of the music. Music is something that really improves my enjoyment in a show, take Aria for instance there could be nothing happening and when they play that amazing sound track it really makes me pay attention and pick up on all the little details which manga obviously doesn't have, but non the less the story was intriguing maybe a little more if I never watched the anime first.
Art:
I'm a huge fan of art. I love the old style. It's extremely charming and the movement of the characters is drawn really well aswell.His art also gets better and better as the story goes on which you would expect from a series that took 10 years to finish.
Characters: as for characters there's not a ton that I really love that much. First I’ll talk about Tsubaki. He is pretty damn infuriating, and is probably one of the worst mc’s i've yet to see in manga. He is a total simp for every girl and can't help himself from blushing at every girl he sees and cant help himself from almost cheating. He also has that classic good guy gullible attitude that you see in a lot of manga which makes you scratch your head at a lot of his questionable decisions. Urabe on the other hand is a great character with tons of character development, turning from a gloomy girl into one that shows lots of emotions but does not stray too far away from her original character. It really feels like Tsubaki really changed her for the better and improved her life, and vice versa. As for the side characters the one that is set aside from all the other mediocre side characters is Oka she is a great addition to the story with her teasing developing the story and is a good deverse friend for Urabe to have.She also has that weird creepy old grandpa personality which is funny to see.
Enjoyment: I definitely enjoyed this manga and was worth the read but there's a couple reasons I didn't rate it higher mainly because of tsubaki being a total simp for every girl he sees and having a rather unlikable personality. But Urabe definitely carried the story for me and a couple of other things such as the great art from the author and the rather unexpected ending that I rather enjoyed surprisingly. I think this is the one romance manga were the love interested can not kiss or have sex which the story was originally based off of, into a wholesome ending where Urabe really shows how much she cares about Tsubaki.
Overall: There's a couple arks I didn’t really like and a couple I absolutely loved. Having a bad mc can really damage the story but with Urabe being such a good character it always leaves me satisfied with each volume. And I think the author was going for more of a basic guy main character and her being the real point of interest considering the title is “mysterious girlfriend x”. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys romance and doesn't mind a little weirdness, and not to expect greatness but definitely a fun ride!
I also wanted to mention that I absolutely loved the dream world and wish it was in the story more but loved seeing it at the end!

For This Review Im gonna keep it short
I'm a big fan of Nana to Kaoru, but the ending was just bad in my opinion, not enough romantic evolution in there relationship, and I just didn't like a lot of the stuff that was happening in the story such as the creep at the end Koaru moving away etc; it really brought the story down for me. Black label on the other hand does everything very well, nothing that I didn't like to much and was written very well in my opinion. We also finally get to see some decent change in the
...
romantic aspect of there relationship, the biggest thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the summer festival. The only reason I'm not a massive fan is just because its so over used, I swear every romance/slice of life has a damn summer festival, but nonetheless was a great read, and I highly recommend if your a fan of Nana to Kaoru. :)

I had a hard time rating this. I honestly think this show is just absolutely amazing. It has easily jumped to my second favorite slice of life. Everything about this show is stunning, and if I had to describe it, it would be just beautiful. So many times I had teary eyes for no reason other than the fact of the show's sheer beauty.
Story: The story is nothing crazy so far, but it's just very chill and continues to introduce great new aspects that shine a new light on the story.
Art: The art in Aria is stunning, I’m personally a big fan of older
...
animation, and older animation fits this show so well. There is so much charm and beauty to it and I absolutely love it!
Sound: The music is another thing this show does extremely well! I love the opening, ending, ost’s, even when Athena sings it just blows me away. They also play music at the perfect times.
Characters: These characters are great so far. I love the dynamic that everyone brings to the table with their different personalities. I feel there're so many shows nowadays that try to replicate this dynamic that just don’t do it nearly as well.
Others Thoughts: This show just does such a good job with engaging you, sometimes I start a episode and am like I’m not in the mood for this, I wanna watch some seinen etc; but with this shows intro music, beautiful animation, and intriguing character dynamic it sucks you into the world of Aqua, and the beautiful city of Neo-Venezia everytime. Overall this show is amazing and I didn’t know whether to give this show a 8 or a 9. I've decided on an 8 at the time of writing this but once I finish the whole series that number may move up. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this show to anyone who is interested in slice of life! :)
President Aria: I have to mention Just how damn cute this mfer is, he makes me laugh and smile every time he is on the screen, one of the cutest anime pets of all time for me, and keeps me engaged and with the show as well.

Wow Naruto, my all time favorite anime, an amazing series, and the manga was also fantastic, I wish I could say just as fantastic, but In my eyes the anime is definitely better, although there are somethings that I like more about the manga, and things that I like more about the anime. All together a great read and would recommend reading it for anyone that likes Naruto or Shonen in general, now let the review commence. Firstly I would like to talk about some things that I didn't like about this story. I believe that this story is to dialogue heavy and a
...
lot of the dialogue is a bunch of forgettable useless information. That is the biggest problem that I have with this manga. The second biggest problem is Hinata….. I'm a big fan of Hinata but in the manga they touch on her even less then they do in the anime. I mean for such an important character (Naruto's wife) why do they never talk about her? They never even show them getting married in the manga which thankfully they do in the anime, I just find that they could have made Naruto a couple volumes longer, and added more character development to Hinata and other characters such as Ino, Rock Lee, Sai, etc. There is definitely more to say that is wrong with Naruto but I’ll leave it there for now. Now for the good things about Naruto, let's start with the art. The art in Naruto is so good. I love all of the cover art and chapter art, especially when they do special anniversary chapter art, the base art is really good as well! Another thing that makes Naruto so special is because of the great character development we see in team 7. We get to see each of these characters from when they were ignorant kids, to knowledgeable wise adults, something that you don't get to see a lot in some manga do to not being long enough to do so. I'm also a sucker for good endings, and almost everything about the last volume was amazing. I do prefer the original Naruto to Shippuden in terms of manga but the last volume just left such a good taste in my mouth. Overall this series is a fantastic Shonen and once again I would highly recommend it to anyone that is into the Shonen genre.

Spoilers Included
Sundome is weird, It definitely is, so if you just want a clear cut normal story I wouldn't read this if I were you. As well as due to the bdsm factors in this it narrows down the audience even more; but for me who is not into bdsm I still had lots of enjoyment in reading this. The bdsm factors are soft core so It's nothing too too weird and some things that I actually enjoy, but it can get pretty weird at times that's for sure. Overall this was a great read with so many funny moments with all the
...
characters being made perfectly to have conversations smoothly and interesting. This story has quite a bit of dialogue which I typically don't like, but due to the characters being so funny and interesting it was super enjoyable all the way through. I will say there is one thing that I really don't like about this story such as the random blatant sexual assault that happens by Kurumi’s fellow classmate, which I found disgusting. But other than that this was a fantastic story with twists and turns that kept the story refreshing and emerged me into the story. Now let's talk about the ending, at first I was skeptical on if it was good or not. I was confused and didn’t fully understand what the author meant to portray, and I’m still not 100%, but the story that I went with was one that I found on reddit that made sense to me. “She has leukemia which is Cancer all of her symptoms also indicate that it is leukemia. Not to mention that the doctors mention it too. The disease Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising problems, feeling very tired, fever and an increased risk of infections. These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells. Having sex would kill her and in this case I am pretty sure that's what happen.” I believe she must have let him due to her getting worse and going to end up dying soon, this ending would piece together a lot of the story perfectly, there's still things that are left to interpretation even if this ending was the ending the author was meaning to write. Seeing the girl at the end is very sad and I believe that the other theories on her being Kurumi Sahana are false. He is not able to satisfy her, she laughs at their old club, and laughs at Hideo golden shower request, so it's safe to say that that is not her. This is the ending that I’m keeping as my interpretation and it allows me to enjoy Sundome just a little bit more.

This show is a good watch that I would recommend to almost anyone there's lots of funny moments, sad impactful moments, and moments of lessons being learned. This show also has some great characters with unique quirks that play off of each other flawlessly. Overall just a super sweet wholesome show, the art in it is not exactly what I personally find favorable, it's heavily stylized, and not really in a good way for me, but art is subjective and It does have a charming side to it as well. Some things that happened in the show were not perfect, but overall a good watch
...
for sure.

Story: The story was good with some decent developments. I enjoyed seeing the jealous sides of both Nagatoro and Naoto Hachioji. It leaves for interesting developments to the love side of the story. The format to this show is more like repeated little short stories with the underlying love story that continues throughout the show overall a good enjoyable story.
Art: The art is pretty decent, nothing crazy or anything and someone pointed out to me that they like to just make everything very reflective which is somewhat true. Nothing too crazy for the animation side of things but non the less a well good
...
animated series.
Sounds: The opening for this anime is really good, I love the animation they used for it, and the song itself is also really good. Not the biggest fan of the outro but it's still good, just not my cup of tea.
Characters: The main character is not for everybody, he is pretty annoying. He's your classic anime loser but he’s not bad, and there is no other personality that would work for a story like this. The side cast is pretty good, nothing too crazy, Miss Nagatoro is great, and the president is also pretty good with her serious personality. Introducing different personalities in the mix is what keeps a story refreshing, so she was a good addition.
Enjoyment: This show is one of those entertaining show that isn't that good if that makes sense; it's not a berserk or one piece, it's just a short and sweet it’s a show that leaves you feeling satisfied, and fulfilled another thing that I realized is that there's a lot of cringe moment in this show, and I kept clicking pause, but I always enjoyed the outcome of those cringey moments. Overall a very enjoyable show, just don't take it too seriously.

Wow I just can't believe how much enjoyment that this show brought me. I didn't expect a show with such a weird, outlandish premise to be so entertaining and intriguing; but with such a weird girl like Mikoto Urabe as our mc’s girlfriend she does some of the weirdest things that you would never expect. It keeps the show interesting and unpredictable. With a guy like Akira Tsubaki as our mc he is a bit annoying and does somethings that I can’t say I agree with but overall it works. The music was also unexpectedly good as well with the intro, outro, and ost’s being
...
really good and fitting the show to a tee. The art is also good. It is stylized but it's got an old classic feel to it that I enjoyed. The characters overall were not that good, the one really good character being Mikoto Urabe but some of the other cast were definitely enjoyable, just not exactly groundbreaking or anything. My overall take on this show is that it is DEFINITELY not for everybody but I personally found it to be very enjoyable and a satisfying watch.

Beware Of spoilers
This is a classic rom-com and does some things that are not exactly revolutionary but then again if it ain't broke then don't fix it right. The story is of a boy who has been ostracized and alienated by his fellow classmate. I can somewhat resonate with the story because of the fact that when I got to highschool I felt somewhat the same. I lost almost all my friends and had a gloomy outlook while in school, I hated being there and couldn't wait to leave skipping lots of days and feeling very awkward especially when it came to group projects
...
just like our main character Izumi Miyamura; as well as always feeling like my fellow classmates were looking and pointing fingers pointing out my gloom, this is one reason I can appreciate the story a little more, and feel happy that he was able to get out of that situation and fall in love while doing it. Another great factor to this story is the art being so breathtaking with the amazing dynamic shots of nature, and lighting use as well. Another thing this story is able to do is to make you hate a character so fast and be rooting for them the next second, it keeps the story interesting and engaging and allows the characters to bounce off of each other. All and all not the most innovative thing in this world, but a good story overall, and one that hit a little closer to home then some. If you watched Horimiya and enjoyed it, I would strongly recommend watching My love story!! And My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU both great as well.
