Sekine's love is an absolute hidden gem. If you're looking for a really good Josei you should give this a try. The story follows the life of Sekine, a successful salaryman that seems to have the perfect life, loved by all and surrounded by admirers but soon enough you start to see the cracks in his life. What happens when you're too attractive, too perfect and untouchable?
The story doesn't focus on the positive of having the traits that everyone yearns for but rather the opposite, the bad things that come about when everyone sees you as an object.
The only person that can seem to get ... Sekine out of a slump is Sara, a young girl that works at a knitting shop. She's the complete opposite of Sekine, very rarely composed and very outspoken. The fresh air of contrasts brings Sakine to be drawn to her in no time but the trauma that follows him everywhere he goes puts a hindrance in their relationship. The story is great because it focuses on facets that are rarely spoken about in romance anime. I think it's a great pick if you want a more mature manga that follows the real life distress of being an adult in love.

Hare Kon is a about a polyamorous marrige that has an interesting plotline but falls flat on its face.
This is the type of manga you'll probably pull an all-nighter for, when you get to about chapter 106 you start to see major plot holes.The family has endearing moments and Yuzu and Koharu end up having a sister-like relationship, but it comes up short when there are threats to the marriage. The whole story focuses on Ryuunosuke loving these women equally (Yuzu)(Koharu)(Madoka), but soon enough you see that the person he has a special love for is Koharu. Ryuunosuke's first wife (yuzu) is still in love ... with her highschool sweetheart and cheats on him, this creates a major plotline and soon enough the family has a child in the mix, while Yuzu and Ryuunosuke care for the child Koharu is left playing the role of mother number two, but soon enough her role is diminished to taking care of the kid once in a while and feeling jealous about the new role she bears. Madoka, his longest partner, takes the role of the villain, most of the time she's standoffish and by the end of the manga she´s unbearable.
The ending feels rushed, koharu finally decides to live for herself and leave the marriage leaving Ryuunosuke reduced to a pile of tears and desperation, leaving behind the suave, cool and collected manner he displayed throughout the manga. But in a manner of just two chapters Koharu decides to come back now that she finds out she's pregnant. And just like that she's roped back into the hare-kon marriage, with no real character development or resolve, these women don't live for themselves or their personal happiness and that's what I think is lacking to really create a three dimensional story.

Great although…

After a year of hearing the hype and wanting to watch the movie with every fiber in my body I finally got the chance today. I could easily say I understand why people really enjoyed the movie.
I believe the story line follows the seventh arc, for all the manga readers we all know how amazing this acr is,not only does it have immense character development for the main cast but overall It follows really exciting missions.
For all the anime watchers you get to know one of the nine pillars to a greater depth and really quickly understand why he's a fan favorite ... and overall just an awesome character.
This movie follows the mugen train story almost to a tee, it's really enjoyable and has a really nice pace. It doesn't feel too fast nor to slow. It has some wholesome and funny scenes which make you crack up in the midst of all the action.
The only thing I´m not too fond of is the cgi it kind of distracted from the whole of the scenes which were almost impeccable, other than that i really recommend this movie, even if you´re not into kimetsu no yaiba I think its a movie every anime lover can enjoy.

I really tried to like this manga but it just got boring so fast. If you're going to take time and read this shojo, there are a few things you should know.
1.It gets repetitive
2.The male MC is really unlikable
3.The female MC is bland.
4.There's little to no substance to the story.
There are cute moments along the manga and the art is fine, but it's just boring.
I got to around half of the story (chapter 40) but It became so repetitive I could no longer go on.
Don't waste your time there are better things out there
5/10

This is one of the best manga i´ve read in awhile,you get really hooked by the first chapter. Honestly it makes you hate the ¨bullies¨of the story pretty early on, I would even say the word ¨bullies¨ too kind of a word to describe these antagonists, these people are psychopaths. The story surrounds the main character who's out for revenge and does it in the most savage and morid way possible. The pacing of the story feels really smooth, and the character design is good too.
Art style is pretty good and follows the dark setting of the story.
(The way the main character looks kind ... of reminds me of Sasuke, the early on type of animation with the spiky hair and the dead looking eyes.)
10/10 would recommend!

If you're looking for a sweet heartwarming manga, this is it. It follows traditional shoujo tropes. With the high school bad boy falling for the sweet and shy girl. It does take on a little of a darker twist, but overall it's a light hearted story. I would recommend this if you're looking to entertain yourself for the night, you can easily pull an allnighter and finish the nine volumes.The illustrations are super cute and pretty with the panels popping out of the screen.
There aren't a lot of characters and every single one is really well established.
It follows the story of Nino and Kira ... and the hardships they go through together as a young couple. They both help each other grow in a pretty unimaginable way. If you don't want to wait fifty plus chapters for the MC to kiss or have any sort of interaction this is it, it gets straight to the point pretty soon into the story, and you can enjoy the characters falling in love without waiting twenty years.

I got so into the story that I finished it in one night, each of the fifteen volumes are very compelling and give the characters more and more depth.Throughout the story there are many plot twists, even though it does rely on more traditional shoujo tropes. I wish this manga was more known, even though I haven't heard the fandom really talk about it. I would highly recommend it, if you're looking for a beautifully well done and illustrated story. The only problem I had with it as a whole is the rushed feeling of the last couple chapters. 9/10.
