    The Flower That Was Bloomed by a Cloud - Ch. 67

    I'm glad that somehow, Gyeol's last memory of Lyon is not her deserting him. I think young as he was, he recognized that he and Lyon were both powerless pawns for his family's political ambitions. Re: Lyon leaving with Baek Han -- as romantic as it may sound, I've already seen the preview of...

    The Flower That Was Bloomed by a Cloud - Ch. 66

    Baek Han's kindness amidst all these is gracefully tragic. As expected, the court made him a political pawn and he is powerless to resist. This is raising all kinds of flags for me and even if I favor Dowun a bit more, I would be devastated if anything happens to Baek. He is Lyon's sanctuary and...

    Heian Koi Emaki - Ayanashi no Kimi

    Beautiful art, an interesting setting, but the characterization is as dry and flat as that of a lackluster otome game. 4 chappies in, and they're literally just ticking off boxes of stock husbando types. Will not drop for the eye candy.

    Aru Hi, Burikko Akuyaku Reijou ni Narimashite - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Almost gave up on the first half of Chapter 1 because the pacing was too rushed. It did become more readable near the end, so I'll see how it goes for the next couple of chapters.

    Shipping the megane wohoo!

    Tsuki no Oki ni Mesu mama - Vol. 3 Ch. 19

    Runa hiding a smile beneath his umbrella is one of the swoon-worthy manga scenes I've read recently-- with the other recent one being Runa slipping on the stairs as he begs his senpai to stop her (unwitting) best girl dating sim portrayal. I adore this manga, I really do. XD

    Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - Vol. 12 Ch. 117

    Nozaki looking for any hidden interpretations of the letter is SO me in my fanon/sunk ship fangirling mode analyzing episodes and chapters for shipping hints. 😆

    The Villainess Turns the Hourglass - Vol. 1 Ch. 39

    I could have used a reversing hourglass back when our Math teacher was making us do board work in front of the class! XD

    Dakishimete Tsuide ni Kiss mo - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    Younger Guy is a douchebag extraordinaire. Wasn't he the one who promised to "disappear quietly " when FL decides to settle down? How dare he throws a tantrum at her now for doing exactly what she already told him flat out that she'd do! (i.e. find a marriage partner)

    The Flower That Was Bloomed by a Cloud - Ch. 65

    I love how the calculating Dowun's biggest act of kindness is to be cruel , whether towards Lyon (who he had to bloom into someone stronger to withstand court intrigues) or his brother (who he wanted to keep away from politics). After the character study of the earnest, righteous Baek Han, it's...

    Midori no Tomarigi - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    "I'm so terrified by the fact that her existence becomes smaller and smaller as time passes. It's as if she never existed. To think that I can live normally every day scares me to no end." This was me living the first five years after my mama passed away suddenly due to stroke. She did not...

    Seirou Opera - Vol. 3 Ch. 11

    I appreciate the additional context in the end! To think farmers > merchants once upon a time truly surprised me, but now that I've given it more thought, that does make much more sense given Japan's way of life and economy back then.

    The Monster Duchess and Contract Princess - Ch. 64

    The whole comments section shookt by Konrad growing up and here I am just bothered by Leslie not taking her umbrella back once she got her hair ribbon fixed. Tricked him into carrying it the rest of the way. XD XD XD

    She's My Type - Ch. 4

    FL: I respect your tastes. Also FL, a few frames later: YOU CROSSDRESSING PERVERT The FL is a terrible person.

    I'll Do That Marriage

    The 8+ rating puzzled me as the manhwa has terrible pacing. @Lemongrassv put it best re: the plot treatment. It felt like the series is rushing to tell its entire story as if it were on an extremely tight limited run. A shame really, as a gender-swapped take on fairytales is always interesting...

    Tsuki no Oki ni Mesu mama

    Don't let the genre-typical art and trope-y first couple of chapters turn you off-- this series is unexpectedly swoon-filled and funny! It's no Ouran or Nozaki-kun, but the comically sweet irony of the story afforded to us the omnipresent spectators to these two dorks is refreshingly GOOD. It...

    Tsuki no Oki ni Mesu mama - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    This manga has been such a pleasant surprise so far. It still has a jerk w/ a heart of gold + typical clumsy, dense heroine but its execution-- melding together genre-savviness, willingness to be an equal-opportunity dorkifier of both leads, and the subversion of expectations-- made this a truly...

    Please Don't Call Me Queen! - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - The Duel at the Maneuvering Ground

    I'm usually a megane trash but the tsundere guy is simply too adorbs. I've long learned to look the other way in certain cases of manga incest, like in this one where they're royalty (which makes it a bit plausible) and they didn't really grow up as a family. The mangaka basically treated...

    Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - Vol. 12 Ch. 116

    That was such a FUN chapter! This series is truly a master at subverting expectations (I thought this was the obligatory make-Nozaki-jealous chapter, but it didn't drag any further than a couple of frames of the poor shocked guy), mining comedy gold from outrageous character-driven twists, and...
