This is an ongoing story still, so my review, rating and recommendation will change in the future.
Pros:
- Decently drawn with distinguishable characters and clear backgrounds and settings. Nothing amazing, but it's functional and cute.
- Despite the subtitle “Best wishes, bitch” this is not a revenge story, but a rather wholesome dramatic rom-com with a body swap mechanic like in “Freaky Friday” or “Your Name.” The premise for both the body swapping and the fake break up leading into the story remains undisclosed as of chapter 59. Focus has instead been placed on building up characters, relationships and controlling the fall out of the body swapping
...
confusion.
- Sidecharacters play a big part in the story and they are well developed.
- The body swapped lead does slowly include their friends in the situation, so the plot can progress and not be centered permanently around damage controlling misunderstandings for those same friends.
Cons:
- The pacing is unpredictable, which is normally a good thing, but in this manga the plot is either moving along very fast or at a snail's pace. Sometimes I would like the scenes to extend for the drama, while some chapters can be skipped without missing much. This issue will be less annoying once the manga is finished and is bingeable.
Conclusion:
- I am recommending this as a dramatic rom-com. It is slower paced and the body swapping fills a lot of the run time so far. I am giving it the average rating of 5/10 for now. The manga needs to fix its pacing inconsistencies and get a little further along in the development of more serious relationships soon. 50+ chapters is more than enough to establish the characters and their hurdles. With some satisfying plot twist and a good ending that is dragged out, I can see myself give “Hope You’re Happy, Lemon” a rating of 6/10 (high end) or maybe even 7/10 (low end).

Pros:
- No weewoo alarm despite the concept and title. This is a story about loss, grief, regret and finding yourself and the ability to move on.
- The art is fine and during some parts of the manga the pacing and narration is well done.
- The theme is heartfelt. Loss of loved ones and the resulting grief is a thing that every human dying of old age has experienced, but it is still hard to put to words. Trying to tackle this theme in the manga format works pretty well.
- The characters are likeable but flawed. Seeing a flawed character improve, but still despise herself and
...
fear to relapse into bad behaviour is good.
Cons:
- No weewoo alarm despite the concept and title… /jk
- The pacing isn’t as effective as I would have preferred. Around chapter 50-80 things become a little stale and the same around the ending. A tighter narration and maybe 1-2 less tankobons could have solved this.
Conclusion:
- I respect the hell out of the attempt and I think the author succeeded in some of what they wanted to portray. I also think the manga had room for improvement in the pacing and plot-twist department. I am going to recommend it, despite my critique.

Read Alex796 and Ritinal’s reviews first, then come back to me.
I have now read 115 chapters of Tawawa on monday so I will try to entice you to give the series a go.
Pros:
- The humor is centered around the challenges of being a slim waisted girl with a huge front butt. Or being the “poor” man who has to survive in their gravitational pull. This might sound like a premise who will lose its charm fast, but let me tell you; [Redacted] <3
- After firmly defining the first three girls (an office Kou-hai, a highschooler and a soon to be college student) the manga
...
keeps building its roster of girls. This ain’t no harem. Each girl has a separate guy they exclusively like. As a reader I am just pleasantly getting introduced to the most densely packed fictional town in Japan of most densely packed slim waisted girls. Over time, the girls have small interactions with each other, so the fictional city of Tawawa begins to take shape and be defined.
- Later in the stories, some of the guys do get some personalities to advance the plot, but they are still kept pretty light. This does help the layers to the stories told and ever so slowly the relationships are built up.
- There are actually stories, layers, plots and developments in this manga. It even has some low-key drama. But it always manages to keep the light and fuzzy vibe going.
Cons:
- Amongst all the lovely girls and their lovely, loosely defined love interests, one relationship is not as well developed as the rest. I suspect the author intends to close the manga with that relationship to come full circle some day, but for now, poor Ai-chan is just donating her buttons to a canvas.
Conclusion:
- With full confidence and no shame I would like to recommend this to everyone. Tawawa might not challenge your world views, hype you with battles or rile you up with drama, but what it does, it does really well. I was entertained, engaged and felt good reading this. I think most people will enjoy their time in Tawawa city.
- I am giving this a tentative 7/10, as I need to see the finalized manga to make my final decision. 7/10 is a score I don't give out lightly, as I try to buy at least 1 physical tankobon of manga I have rated this high.

Pros:
- Gorgeously drawn with incredible action scenes.
- Very likeable characters over all, but the important ones are also very well defined in regards to their motivations, flaws and determinations. Hikaru Kamisaki and Iruka Okazaki’s integration into the story was damn flawless.
- Through precise pacing, the story strings you along for a very enticing read.
- Explains the “power scaling” of the sport well. Also mentions the high probability of devastating injuries which does make me worried for the girls, as I became invested in them and didn’t want to see them suffer.
Cons:
- Figure Skating is a hard sell to hook newcomers to share in your adoration
...
of Medalist.
Conclusion:
- I went into Medalist full of skepticism with the expectation to not get invested in the manga. I am not a big sports manga reader and I normally stay in my lane with some ecchi rom-com. Despite the girls in Medalist being too young to goon over and despite the lack of romance, I was absolutely glued to the pages. This manga has NO business being this well crafted. I am NOT the targeted audience. I am recommending that you give this a go. I am giving it a 7/10 for now, as I need to see the manga finished to give my final say, but I can see this go to 8/10 which is a rating I very rarely give.

I "only" read 150 of the 268 chapters, so read my review with some scepticism.
Pros:
- It is colored, decently drawn, decent effects and distinguishable characters.
- The concept of redoing your life (even in a high magic society) is compelling.
- The character motivations are pretty clear and defined.
Cons:
- This is technically no an isekai, but it does follow a lot of the power fantasy tropes.
- The compelling twist of the main character Desir having prior knowledge due to having lived this life already, is quickly abandonned by his action changing the time line.
- The mahnwas go to surprise mechanic, is that Desir knows something the reader
...
and his companions doesn't, uses this knowledge to win an encounter and then explain the details after. This gets stale rather quickly.
Conclusion:
- I rated this a 4/10, thus putting it in my "slob" range of 4-6. I will never finish it, reread it or remember it as anything worthwhile. After reading Solo Leveling (which I rated 6/10 and recommended) I can say that I am probably not the target audience for the modern eastern power fantasy, but I did enjoy Solo Leveling more than this, which is why I won't recommend it. If you are an above average enjoyer of isekais, then this title might sate your hunger.

Pros:
- The historical, medical and mystery tags are the defining content feature, with drama, comedy and romance being the supporting content. This create a kinda unique combo, that allows the mangaka to avoid the fantasy and high school tropes, while still maintaining some romcom drama.
- The art is pretty well done, but the narrative is what makes this stand out. The character motivations, the interrelationships, the dramatic plots, twists and reveals, the foreshadowing and hints, the background knowledge. All these elements are implemented with a care and meticulousness, that makes the mangas narrative stand out as quite remarkable.
- The long chapters makes the story pacing
...
less predictable, which is great.
Cons:
- I have very little negative to say about this manga, so it will mostly be nitpicking.
- Our main character is written as, and consistently show, above average deduction skill and knowledge. She is wise in most regards, even fragile court intrigue that would humble the average manga protagonist. She does make mistake, but she is very good at using her insight to calculate peoples intentions. All this is good! But when it comes to romance directed at herself, she is as clueless as the weebs reading this. It is comedicly entertaining, but it does seem out of character for her.
- I considered mentioning that the romance is "Komi Can't Communicate" slow, but it didn't really annoy me at all, since the rest was great.
- Historical (and fantasy/isekai) genres are responsible for introducing the reader to the world's rules. This manga is good at that, but one (unspoiled) relationship with another you girl remains undefined for 30+ chapters before this is used to surprise the reader. In Inio Asano's Punpun, every earlier emitted detail hit me like a truck when revealed, due to the realistic nature of the setting. This punch is less severe in a historical manga, were the author chose not to define a relationship that we, the reader, couldn't predict.
Judgement:
- I loved every second, was glued to my seat and will reread it.
- I hope it finishes before 200 (long chapters), so it never becomes stale or repetitive.

Pros:
- The mangaka Flowerchilds art is gorgous to look at.
- This is a yuri and evolves power dynamics in relationships, but it also have softness, space and acceptance, which most toxic yuri fails at.
- Wholesome, likeable characters, along with some bastards to keep the plot rolling.
- The plot starts out really basic, but with the establishing of relationship and introductions of further characters, the narrative becomes pretty intense.
Cons:
- I do not have much negative to say here. I believe the mangaka can make this story a classic if they get the right amount of volumes and chapters to work with.
- One character has connection
...
to the entertainment industry, which introduces elements common in idol mangas. So far this haven't been a bad thing, but I expect it to play a bigger impact later on, which might feel repetitive for the avid readers.
Judgement:
- I gave it a tentative 7/10 on the first 12 chapters, but this can easily end abrubtly or run dry down to a 5/10 or go to the moon and become finish with bravado on 9/10. I am positively optimistic at the moment.

Pros:
- This is short, wholesome romance, without perverted content.
- It does not go deep into relationship issues, or even drag the romance out in much regard. Instead the story focuses primarily around Machida, the main protagonist. Machida is not on some quest to get a girlfriend, instead he is succeeding in staying true to kind nature and treat people around him with love, acknowledgement and an open heart.
Cons:
- This is short, wholesome romance, without perverted content...
- I adore the core belief of being kind without expecting anything in return, but I also find it naive and unrelateable. Kindness as an acknowledged trait is as far-fetched
...
to me as some fantastical shounen or even some dumb hentai plots. Still enjoyable though.
Judgement:
- I consider it slop, but in the high end of slop, that I might read again or even the first volume off. I recommend it.

Judgement:
- This is pretty good!
- Im giving 6/10 for now (4 volumes - 21 chapters) but I can see it go to both 7/10 if it keeps pace and don't overstays its welcome.
- Recommended!
Pros:
- This is wholesome yuri, involving consensual BDSM between girls, that might be a little too young for my taste. It isn't erotic or hentai though, just ecchi, and the BDSM is (so far) of the lighter variety, which makes the questionable age a little easier to morally handle.
- The manga introduces the BDSM elements in a deliberate slow and descriptive way, so even a complete BDSM noob like myself can
...
differentiate between the BD, DS and SM plays and learn a little a long the way.
- I can appreciate a wholesome lovestory with consent between the involved girls, as it breaks from the stereotype of toxic yuri. I love me some toxic yuri, but the alternative is also quite nice. The BDSM elements in the story so far, has reflected this, by being less extreme than what we usually read. Less extreme doesn't mean more boring in this examble, but far more believeable as to how school aged girls would get into it.
- Every manga having the incest tag will forever be fighting the yikes vibes. Luckily, this manga doesn't have the loli tag or sexual violence tag and is only ecchi, so it feels less like pdf bait than incest tags normally do. Without spoiling the story, I would even argue that the incest tag on this manga so far is pretty innocent, as it appears to only cover rather light BDSM plays and not actual sexual acts.
- The humor is decent and the characters likable. Even the adults in the serie is pretty funny.
Cons:
- See that incest tag? Yeah... The incest depicted might only cover rather light BDSM plays and not actual sexual acts, but no matter how you slice it, this particular BDSM has sexual undertones and involves a character descriped as underage. I know lines on a paper isn't actual people and I know no kids suffered during this creation, but you should know that the manga depicts BDSM with sexual undertones, involving a drawn minors.

Pros
- The characters are pleasant to look at, without being too ecchi or loli.
- The topic of a split personality illness is interesting.
- I found the maid character funny.
- The story is short and doesn't get dragged out.
Cons
- This manga takes the easy solution to the very serious topic of a split personality mental illness: It makes it fun, cute and troublesome. That is okay! In reality, it is life shattering to deal with such a situation, but it can help breaks taboos and start a conversation to make a little fun of it in a light way. In the later half of the story,
...
the narrative changes and try to make and emotional impact around the mental illness, which forces the reader to take the problem serious, something the manga itself hasn't done, only to do a 180 turn at the very abrudt ending, making the potentially emotional impact fall completely flat. I am left confused as to what the mangaka's intention was.
- The maid had a very curve ball finale, that I didn't see coming or like, due to a lack of foreshadowing and reason.
- The backgrounds were pretty lacking overall.
Judgement
- I gave it 4/10, but might lower it to 3/10 later. The manga can service some romcom slop starved weeb out there, but I honestly won't recommend this, as even the slop romcoms have better to offer than this.
