Such a great series!! The FL was so pure and innocent, yet she also had one of the best powerful and independent natures ever. Her speeches and views on life were just so inspiring. She also knows how to protect herself too!

“ High schooler Anzu Hoshino has a great life. Every day she plays video games, pigs out on snacks, and pets her beloved cat…”

[Note: Anime is longer than the manga, so go watch the anime instead!]

The girl here is so down to earth, and yet also just freaking badass at the same time. She doesn’t let anyone tell her off, and she fights for things that is right. She’s the type I desperately wish everyone has!

“ A collection of short stories that revolve around a chain of people…”

Hands down one of the BEST multi couple shoujo series ever created. I swear I want to marry everyone here. Every chapter held diversity and such great romantic endeavors that I felt like I was a part of the story. It balanced perfectly with light and darker moments, and was very realistic. 100% missing out if you haven’t read yet!

“An adorable tale of two childhood friends who start dating. It starts with "I think we should break up".”

This was SO beautiful I’m a sucker for the childhood friends to lovers trope, and this portrayed their love so beautifully! It held the perfect amount of innocence, fun, and wholesome moments, while also lightly depicting the difficult aspects as well.
