hana's manga / #slice of life(96)

It was a sweet story about feeling insecure due to difference in sexual orientation. Falling in love with someone, but lacking the confidence that the love will last, despite the love shown to him. I enjoyed it.

I absolutely loved it right from the beginning! The adventures and the stories were well put together, and the characters were all wonderful. I wish that Kuchinawa and Renard had some more depth into their background because they were all great. Loved them, loved the story, and you know what, I enjoyed Jack's character. He was a bad guy, yes, but the environment that you live in unfortunately can shape you in many ways. "in this world there are many different people", just like what the father said. I was laughing, and towards the end, I was fluttering with anticipation for Crow and Violet, then I somewhat teared up for the difference in lifestyle that they both carried. How could they stay together when one is a princess and the other a thief? Realistically I don't see the possibility at all, but I suppose that's why I LOVE reading manga, for the fair tale love stories that can be made possible. Haaa, what a satisfying read. Now I wish I can find more of these stories!

They have a really cute relationship. Shinomoto may at times be too insecure because of Sumiyoshi's past and all the girls he's dated, but he shouldn't worry so much. Reading it, you can tell how much they both love each other. Enjoyable, lighthearted, and an innocent read!

It was a cute and emotional story. I enjoyed it, but I do wish that there was a little more development between Kouhei and Taichi towards the end. Kouhei is such a gentle guy (probably partly due to his hearing impariment) and Taichi is so outspoken. I think they match each other quite well. Just the end of last month they announced that there is a live action film, so be on the lookout! Oh and there is also a drama CD. :) AND...there is also a sequel! Hidamari ga Kikoeru -Kōfuku-ron- (I Hear the SunSpot: Theory of Happiness)

I read it, but I didn't feel so engrossed in it. I think perhaps because there wasn't anything that made it stand out from other manga. A rich guy marries a poor girl and they eventually fall in love with each other. There wasn't really any hardship or obstacles that made it intriguing. It was an ok read.

The ending should have been a bit longer, maybe with a wedding and a child? It was really sweet and cute though, a pure love. I liked how Akio was mature, and it made it so that the couple was very well made, though the age of 14ish? is a bit too young. At the same time, maturity also has to do with the environment and circumstances you live in. It was such a simple love story, but the simplicity in life is what truly matters. The more cruel it is, the more mature a person becomes. It was enjoyable.

The harsh reality about love and relationships. You never know where life takes you, even when you think you had it all planned. It's a cruel joke at times. Going through a disease, it was understandable that Hiro broke it off for Mika's own good. You try to give the one you love happiness, not sadness. Being with him when he is ill is a slow and painful path. Mika may not have regrets, but as the person with the illness, it's unbearable to put your loved one through it. It's selfish, but it's also selfless. I wish for Yuu's happiness because he's an incredible man, with a lot of understanding, patience, and love. I cried my eyes out, and it feels a bit swollen. This hardly ever happens. Tragic, but I enjoyed it. It's the harsh reality.

A innocently written, sweet story about man falling in love with a high school boy. Being honest with each other and slowly forming a bond that will connect them for years to come.

Really cute story about 2 people overcoming their pasts and finding their place in one another. The seme is initially this difficult, grumpy hard to understand guy, but really is only a bit difficult to portray his feelings except through money. Sensei helps him to realize that people who truly care for him don't need that to be there for him, and hence their relationship deepens. A cute read.

Sequel to Doukyuusei. It's a slow, yet sweet story about two high school boys finding themselves and a common ground to be together, since their professions are of polar opposites. I really enjoyed it.
