Manabiya Ouji is a cute one-shot between two people who hold beliefs on completely opposite side of the spectrums and clash with each other when they go to the same class.

Story: It's predictable but pretty good. A prince enrolls in high school and starts attending classes, unable to shrug off his spoilt habits and being a consistent rule-breaker. A top honors student who is fed up of it, tries toi disclipine him while getting to know him better through those interactions, and vice versa.

Art: The art is really good. The proportions do become a bit off in the story (too tall and slim) and sometimes, ... the backrop is blurry and the other characters aren't drawn that well.

Character: I love this the most since we get to know that there's a particular reason behind why they behave the way they do and that has made them the person they are. It's mostly focused on the girl though. Shoujo caters to female audience so :P.

I enjoyed this one-shot of how people from two different worlds understand each other, sprinkled with some humour and diffculties they face along the way, how their feelings towards each other change. <3
Totally recommended for a sweet smile on a bad day.

I went into this manga expecting a sol story of a girl being kind-hear ted by helping people and realizing that there is a fine line between good and bad consequences of her actions. It delivered wonderfully, and it showed something as deep as traumas, or crossing boundaries by exposing secrets people wish to hide.

Characters:
The main girl is a over-powered character who clearly uses her powers as and when she wants to make people's lives better, sometimes even without their permission. I liked her, but sometimes things are ... shown to be going over-board over here and even not allowing the other side characters to fully develop.
Despite that, her sick childhood friend, who finds joy in little things, the boy who plays soccer, the teacher who is in charge of her as well as the clients she helps, her parents and the people at the magic department influence her in some way or the other.

Story:
She is already shown to be someone who's able to any kind of magic. Therefore, finding the true purpose behind the wishes of her clients and how the results can't always be happy and fulfilling is what is focused on here. A back story about her teacher's grief is also shown beautifully here.

Art: The art is decent, did not find it particularly appealing.

I enjoyed the story and could see the potential of her becoming a smart, naive, rebellious adolescent girl to a smart, brave, yet firm lady. It doesn't has as many chapters maybe that's why. T
he story derailed a bit in the middle for me but luckily, came back on track after we get to know about her life at home.
It has a bit of life advice here and there, which you might like if that's your thing.

I usually call it as "Her, Hello and Him" since it's about the relationship between two characters. One who seems to know more about the other person, making it a bitter-sweet and not a very long-lasting one. It's similar to the Japanese film, "My tomorrow, your yesterday."

Art - Since it's a light novel, they put a handful of images for us to see the beauty of the girl, hiding her deep sadness, the clueless boy who's trying his best to understand and his female friend, who helps him.

"You promised you would remember, but you don't..liar"

Characters - The relationship between the characters is slowly ... build up through various incidents. The boy is an optimistic, naive yet sharp about the feelings of people around him. The girl is a cynic, shy yet talkative which attracts both of them towards each other. Other characters play a role too but are forgettable.

Story:- The story is narrated in a non linear format. (Like 500 days of summer movie or if you have read the Light novel - HakoMari). All the confusion and mystery gets clearer as we progress forward. It's tragic and the reasons behind it are explained it quite well.

Overall, I enjoyed it except for some repetitive dialogue and an ending left open. I think it's done on purpose for us to not feel more bad than it already shows.

Cute, comedy, doubt filled and yearning of the first love stories!

Story:-
The story is fairly normal, the same old cliches of dating for first time, showing off to your friends and attempts to get close to the person you like. Being insecure about not being liked back, a rival appearing who shares the same feelings or wanting to come together after growing apart.
If you enjoy normal stuff like that, you will like it.

Art:-
The art is super cute. They all look a bit similar though, blonde-black ... hairstyle, huge shoujo-manga eyes etc. There are even cat-humans in one chapter which makes me go like kawaiii.

Character:-
They are ordinary. Just people dealing with unfamiliar emotions and struggling to make sense of it. Counting on their best friend for help, hiding what they really feel to maintain being friends and wishing for something they don't have.

I would call these slice-of-stories if not for the romance part. You can give it a one-time read to enjoy the art. My favorite story is "Fly into the blue sky" because it talks about painful memories in a "metamorphic al" way and the importance of it.

The story starts with a grandmother narrating a story tp the 5-year old girl about her mom being the descendant of princess kaguya, how she landed on planet earth to escaped her arranged marriage and meets two boys, Ichi and Shin to know more about the life here.

Story:-
The story is fun and enjoyable to read. There are a bit gaps here and there which makes it difficult to catch up. It's a bit tragic, be warned and can be a bit confusing at ... times since it goes at a very fast pace.

Art:- The art is beautiful to emphasize the princess' beauty and obviously, there are bishonen boys for female fan-service, as usual.
There is even a page dedicated by the author which tells about all about the history of Japan:- places, makeup women used, the food and changes that lead to different eras.

Characters:-
They are cliche but nonetheless, enjoyable. The lovey-dovey parents, the stalkerish suitor, the protective and supporting boys and a kind lady-in-waiting.

I liked the story, would have praised it a little more if it didn't rush things off. If you're a fan of shoujo manga, then it's worth a read once.

This manga manages to balance between gross and beautiful. A man who faps to reptiles, owns a gecko and works at a reptile shop meets a girl who looks like a university student who is fascinated with the animals he's interested in.

Story:-
There's not much of a story to this except for how they both relate to each other by being different and distant from other people while learning how to love and care for the reptiles. The girl has her own difficult life which is revealed slowly as we go through the story. Not particularly interesting but not completely boring either.

Art:-
Quite attractive to ... show the various types of species of reptiles, the differences in physical characteristics and their way of living.

Character:-
Pretty average but enjoyable at the same time. One is the manager of the shop who is simply, put glasses and guides the protagonist of this series. There's another co-worker of his, who is straight-forward and talkative. The girl is sweet, scared and naughty at times. Meanwhile, the main guy tries to keep up with her by trying to be a supportive adult at the same time. (keeping his dark desires at bay LOLI ALERT!!!)

If you're fine with weird fetishes and unusually large-age gaps between people along with a passion reptiles, and having a thing for angst, you will enjoy this manga.

It's a simple, sweet story about a smart, doesn't ever get into trouble girl who has a crush on a tardy, imaginative boy.

Characters:-
The guy is mostly an air-head and an adventurer. He bunks school and goes wherever he wants without a care in the world. He loves to have fun, basically. The girl secretly likes him and follows him in his adventures reluctantly, as a way of looking out for him. She's a sincere girl for the most part and gets dragged into his easy-going pace.

Art:-
It's like any other shonen manga and even colored at times.

Story:-
It's a one-shot but captures the gist of two opposite ... personalities getting to explore each other, even if it's for a very short while, and not something the other wants to get into

It kind of reminds me of Tonari no Seki-Kun. If you liked that, then you can give this a try.

First off, don't expect anything much deep in this manga since it's funny, charming, and childish filled with minor obstacles here and there kind of manga.

The female lead, is a kind, loving, naive, and hot-headed character who befriends the male lead, who is a vampire when they were five. Due to her, he is accepted in the human world and does a lot of charitable things to maintain a good reputation in society.

The characters (their classmates, parents, etc) who ship the couple are fun, the villains have motivations of their own to either sabotage him and kidnap him. The girl is oblivious to the ... romantic feelings he has and we see how she always steps in or puts herself in danger to protect him.

The story develops as we get to know more about the history of vampires and the abilities they possess. Not much of a surprise there. The adults also play an important role in this due to the difference in opinions and rivalry between them. (which is almost comical)

The art is quite attractive and appealing in a "shoujo" way.

I enjoyed the manga a lot even though it seemed like it abruptly ended when it could have shown us more, don't be disappointed with the progress of the couple too much, folks xD

The story is extremely cliche.
A rich girl makes a promise with her childhood friend- now turned butler/servant boy to marry him when they grow up. But, she thinks he doesn't remember it..

Characters:-
The hime-sama (princess) relies on him to do everything, orders him around to do her bidding, and rejects suitors who show interest in her. She's tomboyish, rude, incredibly jealous, and possessive about him. Very frustrating at times, but enjoyable when her behavior is used as a gag.
The guy is your typical, cold yet serves diligently to her. Tries to keep his distance due to his position but secretly in love with her.

Story:- ...
Every chapter is pretty long but doesn't beat around the bush much and throws in love rivals, difficult/humourous situations which bring them closer and clears stuff between them.

Art:-
Pretty good, not very detailed but not completely obscure either. Its translucent - uses white tones more than black, faintly drawn.

If you like cliches that way, it's an extremely, short, fun read.

This manhwa is an absolutely thrilling but grim story - would suggest you to binge read.

It's about people with supernatural powers related to time and dreams.
A shaman's daughter sees a horrifying prophetic dream of students dying in the school she teaches and a bunch of people along with her who witness the same thing. It's all on her, by finding them to prevent it from happening.

8.5/10
Plot - The pace is fast and the twists are really interesting as the story proceeds. It soon becomes a team effort by special people to stop a villain who makes this tragedy into reality.

8.5/10
Art - This might be ... a turn-off to people who have read stuff with gorgeous and detailed art since it provides a normal comic book art which isn't exactly appealing. Although it has added recurring panels that show events simultaneously to make us understand what's happening in the story.

10/10
Characters - Their development (only 1 chapter) gets overshadowed due to the story progressing rapidly but you quickly grow to know that they wish to change a sad fate which they always failed to do with planning, sacrifice, and efforts.

New ones are introduced and they play an important role in the story as well, given enough time to understand them before being dropped off.

I loved how it is all connected, keeps you on the edge and each one manages to pitch in their share despite knowing how futile it is.
Would recommend 10/10
