Gokinjo Monogatari

Just finished gokinjo monogatari and I can't believe I didn't read this sooner. I already read paradise kiss a long time ago but I didn't know it had a prequel until recently. I love ai yazawas works and this one is no different. I love all the characters even though I didn't get the pairs that I wanted (grr!) and it ties together so well with paradise kiss! I'd give it a nice 8.5/10

Can't see can't hear but love

So I just finished this manhwa and let me tell you, you will be crying almost constantly. Some characters are extremely lovable and some are hateable. I really liked it and I don't regret reading. I don't know if I would reread it, maybe if I wanted some nostalgia. My one and only complaint is that it had drama just for the sake of drama. The drama moved the plot but the drama wasn't explained and some character development didn't feel natural. If all of these were actually explained/developed it could have gotten a 9/10. But all in all I'd give it a 7/10

Akai mi hajiketa SPOILERS AHEAD

I just finished this beautiful collection of one shots! Some I liked more than others and the art style is completely wonderful. I'm glad that these one shots actually had an epilogue and we got some closure for our characters. I'd have to say my favorite stories were counter-punch (their epilogue was so cute!), love is in the air (I love their dynamic), Meiji-san's incident (my favorite couple, I love older guy characters) and the riceball prince and the plum princess (I loved all the different personalities). I'd give it an overall 8/10
