The message is pretty clear, but it took all of 2 or 3 pages for the 'climax' and resolution. I wish we saw more of either the consequences to her popularity, or more resolution either way.
Still a really enjoyable read for middle schoolers who feel like they don't fit in....more

It was not for me, but I forced myself to fit a square peg in a round hole. Even though I am not a Texan, Asian-American, or in middle school (anymore), I think the beauty of these stories is to open the world around you and to recognize other people's struggles. I was heartbroken seeing the racist prejudice Christina and Megan faced yet this is still the world we live in. Kindness can go a long way....more

This was so cute!! I loved Aileen and her turning things around. I was intrigued by the "heroine" and wish we had a little more detail about her character, but I love that Aileen really took over as the heroine and captured her man! And speaking of Claude... HE'S SO CUTE! I loved him! I wish there was a kiss tho. But a very good and short series!...more
I guess I should mention that one of the stories was kinda weird and I didn't care for. 'The Wolf-Man and the Girl-Wolf' could be seen as child grooming and it was unsettling but the lion one I think was innocent enough; I think they have a partners-in-crime friendly love. I do think some people were reading too deeply into it, especially if you haven't read some of his other works. I think Nagabe is just kinda a weird dude and his storytelling didn't translate well.
Overall, I personally liked all the stories (with the one exception) and enjoyed the collection!...more

The message was strong but the plot was so fast, it wasn’t as impactful. Didn’t get much time to spend with the characters so I didn’t care for them a bunch either. Could have been a lot better if it had a second volume to slow things down. ...more

Spicy isekai fantasy romance???? YES PLEASE. We don’t spend much time on the isekai part; a brief mention that she remembers her past life and sticks to Japanese traditions of monogamy rather than this country’s usual polygamy.
And the spicy scenes were really nice! It was more graphic than some others I’ve seen yet still somewhat censored.

It's cute!! We follow a small group of teen girls as they camp during the autumn/winter. Quite laid-back as the title implies, it's a slice of life that's pretty cute. I had no idea it was also an anime so I'll try to watch that too!...more

Not sure what the message was other than cheaters never win, but the art was cute and the recipes were really neat! The bully didn't get justice other than losing the competition and I would have loved to see a redemption of their character.

The story was somewhat rushed but there's only so many pages to convey a lot of complicated emotions. I liked the story a lot, I think Morgan had a lot going on and holding onto her "plan" was how she coped. When things went wrong, she learned to adapt and I'm proud of her growth!

This is the cutest manga I’ve read in a while. We follow Tomoko as she observes her eldest son whom is gay as he navigates this world. He’s not ready to come out and with his father making homophobic comments, I don’t blame him. Tomoko and the younger son both show their support in small ways and it made me so happy for him. I’m looking forward to reading more and hopefully Dad will realize he’s a dick and comes around. ...more

Misrule picks up roughly 100 years after the end of Malice. Alyce is the Mistress of the Dark Court and she's been liberating the abused, broken, and neglected. The Imps, Demons, Goblins, Vila, and Shifters. And trying to break the curse on Aurora.
I absolutely love the plotting and writing of this duology. I love that little details mentioned in passing end up being a major plot point in the future, I love this absolutely enduring and unbreakable love that Aurora and Alyce share, I love that (view spoiler)[they END the deep set blood feud (hide spoiler)]. I could read this again immediately and find new clues and new things to LOVE about it.
I loved the ending. Even though I desperately wanted Aurora and Alyce to be together forever, the ending is just so fitting and what I wouldn't give to see them meeting after yet another hundred years.....
Stunning fantasy duology about being yourself despite all odds and a love that transcends curses....more
