Takane no Ran-san

Thank god they know how to work out their problems and avoid stereotypical shoujo misunderstandings. How rare it is for the girl to be the popular one - and the guy to embrace working in a flower shop. Characters are sweet, mature, considerate, and supportive towards each other. No toxic behavior! FL and ML are respective of each other and know their boundaries. Honestly quite a gem in the shoujo category these days, great for a laidback read and gives you quite a lot of serotonin. The little flower notes at the end of each chapter were a nice addition as well.

Hana to Akuma
(Manga)
add
I've read a lot of shoujo manga. Not gonna lie, I usually prefer reading mangas that have very good art. However, I can't deny that Hana to Akuma immediately jumped straight up to the top of my favorites.
Yea, the artwork takes some time to get used to. Took me a couple of chapters in - but it was the story that managed to suck me in. After reading a bunch of cheesy, stereotypical shoujo mangas, this was like a breath of fresh air. The story was unique, bittersweet, and overall beautiful. I've only read it once but I'd definitely read it again as time passes. |
