My Fav Shoujo-Josei Manga Recommendation
Currently, I've indulged myself in Korean manhwa/webtoon, so I decided to go back and read some Japanese manga for a change. And I highly recommend checking them out since these are some of my favorites. Most of them are pretty new, and it wasn't that long before they started serializing in various shoujo/josei magazines.

You’re My Cutie
Kawaii Nante Kiitenai
Harufuji Nakaba
romance, comedy, slice of life,
6 volumes (ongoing)
“Madoka is obsessed with shojo manga—specifically manga that features younger, innocent guys who fall for their Sempai. So she should be thrilled when a gorgeous kohai comes to work at her father's restaurant...except he's rude and standoffish, and wants nothing to do with her. But when she protects him from some extra-pushy fans, he finds that maybe he's found someone letting his walls down for...!”
(resume from Kodansha USA)
Story: 6/10
Kicked my feet and screamed into my pillow multiple times. I've certified it a good romance, you can trust me. I love how Madoka sometimes acts as a male love interest would be in other romance manga with Momoki. Also the fact that they only see each other at work and not in school adds something to the story, it makes their interaction more interesting.
Cast: 8/10
I keep writing these reviews, and I think I should change "cast" to "couple". I noticed that authors don't really focus on the background characters and mostly focus about the main couple but yes, very good characters. The two of them go so well together. I was taken aback by Momiki's personality. I was not expecting a tsundere. I usually hate it, but it's not toxic or boring with him, it's even sweet.
Art: 6/10
Super pretty art. Maybe a little bit simple and can get messy at some point but it’s nothing unsettling
Enjoyment: 9/10
Probably one of my favorite romance, I feel like I say that a lot but this one is really good. It feels so new and refreshing. It is different from other stories, but at the same time it follows the basic patterns of how to make a good shojo. Certainly recommend it.
Overall: 7/10
