Mintfu's Manga

The author’s storytelling is fantastic. I wish a few stories from this were adapted into films or actual books because they have so much potential. Specifically The King’s Harem and the Canary stories. The stories were a little too short, so there would of course be plot holes, but if they were developed a bit more, they would be perfect.

Ah, yes. The fake relationship to lovers trope. If I could read only one manga with this trope, this would be the one. There are good lessons on lying, which although it’s obvious, never seems to be the central theme to any story with this trope. The manga does a great job of highlighting the fact that white lies do more harm than good, but it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person if you do tell some. The relationships here are PURE diabetes, even if ppl are dense as hell. The supporting female cast was nicely executed as well. Also, if I could steal an art style, I wish it would be this one because the watercolor style is GORGEOUS. Plus, bonus points for the author being a man.

???? WH !!-&$/$-@-& AT??? I did not ask to cry this much. This was way too short. It’s a good short story, but it would’ve been way more impactful if it were a long lasting series. The development of the characters was good, but it just was way too rushed and it didn’t feel satisfying when the ML was “redeemed” from making his mistakes. Needless to say, I shed tears during every second reading this. Though, I do think that this had more potential that wasn’t fulfilled.

A good take on the main character growing out of a mentally abusive relationship. The main characters are so sweet and wholesome to each other. ML is thoughtful and it’s refreshing to see how honest and vulnerable he is. The MC is pushed to fulfill his dream of becoming a children’s book author, something he was forced to give up due to his abusive relationship. The story is simple, but the characters are deeply devoted and honest with one another. It’s one of the best depictions of slice of life.

The MC is psychic and can hear people’s thoughts. When he’s near his friend, he finds out his friend is in love with him. The ML is such a puppy that MC can’t help but love him. It’s just really cute ;(.

A guy picks up a demon baby he found in the mountains. But it’s a pretty demon baby. Demon baby grows up and they cherish each other’s company. They continue to love each other. They hide away from society, fearing that they’ll be forced apart. The art is so gorgeous that I can ignore the weird plot.

The MC can see how horny ppl are on an invisible scale next to them that nobody else can see. Uh. Yeah. So that’s a thing I’ve never seen before. His friend is apparently always a horndog around him. MC does not connect the dots and hilarity ensues. I’ve never seen a denser person exist.

You can tell it’s old by the way the characters are written. It’s a great example of how portraying realism in fiction doesn’t necessarily make the story more enjoyable. Both main characters come off as contradicting. Once character development is made, they always revert back to their old habits seconds later. The character development was the most interesting part, but it’s a shame it had to be downplayed by the constant homophobia.

Not a lot of substance, but the character development slaps. The plot is so ridiculous it’s hilarious. Main characters are cute so I’ll forgive the flaws.

One of the best. Addresses the effects of familial loss and shows how different people respond to it. Character development at its finest.
