First, I want to say that I loved this manga, and when I came across it and read the summary I didn't hesitate to jump right into it. I loved that this manga developed at a good pace. "Love so Life" puts its emphasis on parent-child relationships and shows how important and dearing a child will see his or her parent. The scenes that show the bond between Shiharu and her mother are especially very touching to the point. It wasn't too fast nor too slow and made the romance feel natural. Shiharu and Matsunaga are both well-done characters who bring just about everything to ... the story. Drama is minimal, misunderstandings here actually help the story and seem natural not cliched (likely due to Shiharu's personality and age). This story is so close to real life that it's not funny but it's such a wonderful journey to follow all its heartwarming experiences leave you with nothing but a smile on your face. This is one manga I would recommend to anyone who loves a close-to-home, heartfelt love story evolving around a family environment. Love so Life has quickly become one of my favorite mangas. All 106 chapters are packed with heartwarming moments from the twins being simply adorable to Shitaru, who had spent most of her life in an orphanage, finally finding a place that feels like home. While the romance takes place between a 25-year-old and a 16-year-old, I feel like they addressed it pretty carefully and allowed Shitaru to grow before bringing on the heavier romance. However, I feel like I probably wouldn’t have had any problem with their relationship as Shitaru tends to act much more mature for her age. In any case, I think the real selling point for this manga has to be the twins. The way they grow, learn, and generally be toddlers creates a great light-hearted atmosphere that helps dampen some of the heavier themes woven throughout. The main focus of Love So Life deals with Shitaru’s growth as she begins to experience what a real family feels like after living in an orphanage for most of her life. Through some flashbacks, we see that her love for children came from her decision to take care of the children at the orphanage from a very early age. This also meant that she matured mentally pretty quickly at least in terms of a caregiver sense, which means to many at the orphanage and the twins as well, she is considered an older sister almost to the point of a motherly figure. But, this responsibility she thrust onto herself seems to be a way to mask the loss of her mother, which is something that is still very real to her.

As for the art choice of this manga, it is astonishingly amazing! beautiful and the lines are very clean. it's also pretty consistent.

I would say that if you like mangas like Sweetness and Lightning or maybe Barakamon, you’d find this to be up your alley. The tone stays pretty light-hearted throughout so it’s an easy read if you need a break from drama. Don’t let the 106 chapters scare you, there’s a lot of great content in there and much adorableness to be had. Well, the reason I start to read this is because the twins are so adorable ❤

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: “Imitation” is a satisfying and well-executed romantic comic, thanks to its focus on realistic interactions between members of the K-pop industry. Though fictionalized, the characters offer insight into how dating works within the field and the pressure on the performers as they try to find their voice. The manga picks up in the first 10-15 chapters. There is a senior-junior romantic relationship. Ryoc, the male lead, who initially seems scary, falls for Maha, the female lead. The manga shows the major and minor problems within the entertainment industry. Aside from that, there are family problems, love triangles, etc. The characters are all great with ... personalities that stand out, no characters are there to create pointless drama and randomly disappear, each character serves a purpose. The pacing is excellent and no chapter feels like it's a drag or taking too long for the arc to complete. More than anything, I loved the character development of the main couple and supporting characters. The ML is everything you would want in a partner, he's a genuine sweetheart and so is the FC. The growth and development of the FC is awesome too, it was great seeing her become a mature, confident, and wise woman from an insecure and unsure young girl.
𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐬: The art, presented mainly in soft palettes, is one of the more visually appealing entries in the WebToon format, which can often be stunted by publishing schedules and over-reliance on digital techniques. KyungRan Park further excels in capturing the emotions of her characters in a way that is ideally suited to draw readers into its romantic themes. Consequently, the book is well-rounded in its visual presence, and any shortcomings (lack of backgrounds) melt away as one gets wrapped up in the characters and the soft, welcoming color tones.

This webtoon deals with anxiety, pressure, problems in the K-pop industry, jealousy, eating disorders, depression, self-esteem issues, and so much more. Ultimately, “Imitation” may not even be the best romance WebToon currently in print, but the audience it caters to and those who like series that thrive in a familiar structure will surely fall for its charms.

Something About Us is a manhwa about a college girl named Doh Gayeoung and her best friend Han Woojin(childhood friends to lovers genre) so they were only friends during high school, Gayeoung starts to like Han Woojin during his first semester with her at college, after that begins a romantic feelings filled with joy, pain, cuteness, and fuzzy feels, this manhwa had personal problems in their lives but lived their high school phase with a lot funny moments that they treasure but when they get older and start their adult life they discovered about love. IMO friendship-turn-love story with smartly emphasized the developing progress of ... the two young people that realistic and relatable to our daily experience. In terms of target audience, the story falls more towards josei, yet you'll also get the sweet, fuzzy feels for shoujo audiences, which is an amazing balance, its all have shown a balance of both maturity and immaturity. The steady development of their relationships are good and both in the aspects of growing distant also closeness. There's nothing to complain about the arts good. What i liked most from this manhwa is female main, she was shy but not weak, she did what she thought she should do. Though what i think unfortunate its the ending kinda a bit rushed. Conclusion this manhwa Incredibly enjoyable that showcased a unique friendship but it quickly makes itself stand out by not relying at all on sexual appeals or more mature themes to pull you in not forget to mention all of the characters dynamically grow not just in age and life but also in terms of their personalities. If you aren't hooked after the first several chapters i recommend to keep reading. It starts with a rather generic childhood-friend turned s romantic-interest plotline but the point when most romance stories would peak (the "confession") is the point when this manhwa really starts to take off. Thank you author for leading the readers to feel an emotional attachment to the characters.

I always loved toddlers/children stories, thanks to "love so life"; Double Baby is a story about Mei(FL), who saw a little boy calling the coolest guy in her class, Ogihara, "to-chan". Then ML became attached to Mei, also Ogihara(ML) had to ask her to babysit with him after school. Mei(FL) discovered that babysitting is funnier than she thought. Personally, for me the story was enjoyable and cute it was a cute shojo overall, and for 3 chapters it's worth the read. The plot is a bit played out but it was fluffy. Conclusion: Nothing especially well-thought-out or deep here, but it is quite sweet.

Honeyworks is a creative circle or group of creators that does multiple projects including Heroine Tarumomo, which is in the Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai universe of characters that all interact through songs, comics and videos.

Me who had HoneyWorks songs and PVs on replay mostly (still do on occasion), it was immensely enjoyable; those personalities, unrequited loves, sibling loves, and love triangles into a mere hour. Autumn is quiet, but my heart is buzzing. The voices actors become a little more mature to suit their characters, i really like this song because ... it represents me the most. All three couples are worried about "long distance love''
Natsuki and Yu have “differences in the way they feel”
Mochi and Akari represent the “strength of feelings”
Mio and Haruki “can’t meet the other person” is a big wall...
Autumn Session has a different way of entering the song than the other three, it's the most calming of all the songs, but it has more feelings than any of the other songs, and it conveys that he's struggling with the crossroads of being an adult and a student, not forget the distinct sadness I like how they properly depict the misunderstandings and the painful parts of love, but it's this song that makes Spring Session make me cry all at once. The flow is perfect. Personally for me the difference between the men's team's "I want to touch you" love and the women's team's "I want to see you" love is also very emotional. My feelings are overflowing and I can't stop crying. I've always loved HoneyWorks and i always will. Isn't it great that HoneyWorks grows old just like us. THE ARTS OF HoneyWorks NEVER FAIL.

NGL I was hesitating to watch this anime (not a fan of bl), well i'm glad that it's not gay. There's no hint of a romance between the two "daddies", they just live together. There aren't even any cringe gay-baiting moments or jokes, and no character in the show automatically assumes they are in a relationship when they see them with a little girl who calls them both "papa". The first thing anyone brings up when talking about Buddy Daddies is that it’s like Spy X Family, and while I get that sentiment, there are quite a few fundamental differences between the two. Whereas Spy ... X Family takes a more comedic approach to the primary family unit with some fun and suspenseful spy thrown in, Buddy Daddies feels far more real. Kazuki, Miri, and Rei slowly become a family not out of convenience but rather thanks to the genuine bond that they can feel taking shape between them. Despite its short thirteen-episode run, i can say that Buddy Daddies dedicates enough time to its three main characters and most important that their development to have the viewer getting teary-eyed and feeling. I love how the anime just went straight into the action while slowly unfolding the truths and pasts of our beloved characters. Yes, I'm giving this a 10, if you ask me which one i like more between spyxfam or this, i can say buddy daddies win. Well ofc i love both of the anime but i feel buddy daddies more interesting for me personally, buddy daddies contains a perfect balance of heart-warming family scenes, incredibly attractive characters and graphic violence with fairly realistic consequences. I really enjoy the animation and aesthetics of this anime. It's colorful and everything/everybody stands out.

Josee, The Tiger & The Fish is a beautifully animated story about the growing relationship between a mobility aid-bound girl named Josee & Tsueno, who becomes her caretaker and helps her get out of her home and explore the world, animated movie formats in general are fast paced due to its short run time - relying on common tropes, and melodrama to convey the story quickly and efficiently, it simply can't be fleshed out like a TV-series, and this movie is no different. The realistic anime texture of the world was so colorful and bright. The romance and drama were great. Josee, the Tiger and ... the Fish may have had a slightly bumpy start, but it knows its own strengths and uses it to build its momentum, but the true spotlight here is josee and tsuneo. seeing them both grow, understanding there own feeling, learning something new and supporting each other without actually interfering with each others dream. It's so true to see both the sad moments like the sense of people not caring based on a simple disability, a family that can be overbearing with fear for their loved ones... Visual and art from studio bones is very good and also the music from Eve reaaly great. The ending feel like a cure for my disappointed on the LA version.

Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki translates to "Wolf Children Ame and Yuki" animated film directed by Hosoda Mamoru of Studio Chizu. I'll just start literally by saying "Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki" is amazing 10/10 and must be watched by all. The girl fall in love with werewolf (loving him and having his kids) the focus of this story is not the relationship between the couple, but between the mother and her children. Although this makes for an interesting approach to the overused concept of the relationship between humans and their wolf relatives. It’s an experience that on end can bring a person ... to complete ruin to giving someone a very reason to exist on the other. It’s ironic how being a parent is one of the greatest challenges and hardships that a person can experience but yet nearly everyone is one or will be one. As for the graphic: smooth animation, the faces of characters tend to be blurry when they are showing off the backgrounds, but otherwise, the artwork was nice. Well all i can say that this movie is "the kind of story that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside." for me this movie is my favorite out of all movie (20/04/2024) i cry a lot in this movie and feel so touched watching this movie was just so beautiful. I don't even have to be in the situation to just understand the emotions and bitter sweetness. I WANT MORE

Hyouka is an anime based on a series of novels by Yonezawa Honobu. The anime adaptation was handled by Kyoto animation. also Hyouka is a mystery series about everyday occurrences, revolving around four high school students in the Classic Literature Club that only resolving small and seemingly insignificant mysteries. Starring a highly introverted and lazy male protagonist but smart, character are initially attractive but inadequately develop, and often repeat the same key lines through almost any situation. They carry through the scene enough to make it work, but not diverse enough to create anything of significance. Hyouka is a beautifully animated anime (great opening and ... ending) unfortunately that's all it is. Some people might find this anime "boring" good mystery kinda long/slow paced? and the romance part was really "less" i dont know i can say this anime has romance genre in it because its like nothing at all. The ending kinda.. ordinary? and seems it doesn't have season 2 as well. But i really love the main character(oreki) kinda feel likable.

It's full of tropes of manga and romance in general like everything that Go Ikeyamada writes. It's very fun to read and this manga is my favorite of all the manga that Go Ikeyamada writes, it's better written throughout. It may sound or look like boring/cliched stuff and nerd stuff like everything that the author usually does. There's lots of romance in it to enjoy, and sad moments too... I kind of feel relatable to Azusa's character a bit, I found the story very enjoyable to the point where I was laughing and getting the great heart-throbbing feeling I love getting from shoujo manga and ... anime. I loved to read this manga very much, and definitely re-read it. I suggest you do not read anything from Go Ikeyamada. Her art is basic, cute, sexy, etc well some of it was all ecchi/sexy stuff... i can't thank Go Ikeyamada enough for making this manga, hope that i can find more manga like this and very enjoyable like this one again.
Thank you.
