    The Shaft of Light in the Blue

    Wow, this is actually better-written than your average shoujo fare. Some scenarios are familiar but the characters' responses and reactions are more natural (and therefore less cringey). Hope this gets translated to completion! Great reads for the two stories so far.

    Hakoniwa no Soleil

    It's rare to find a proper romance mystery with decent MCs. Sad that it has been a year since its last update. I wish this can get picked up again

    Kuro Hakushaku wa Hoshi o Mederu - Vol. 6 Ch. 32

    Wow, long time no read! And I liked the tragic "you'll slip out of my hands, too" line. Its matter-of-fact tone somehow made it even lonelier.

    Smash It Girl! - Ch. 1

    Reminds me of Devil Hunter Yohko (the pigtails and monster-hunting probably). But admittedly, not a fan of the lips. Too distractingly off-putting.

    Mahou Sekai no Uketsukejou ni Naritai desu! - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Liking this very much so far! Feisty female MC + banters with academic rival male MC = instant win for me! :)

    Major Milestone Reached!

    Prior to MD, I've always viewed online manga reading as transactional: I read for free, aggregators make a dime from me through ads. But thanks to MD (and getting involved as a contributor helping out with updating the MAL external lists on manga pages), I realized how horrible that POV was. I...

    Boku no Orion - Vol. 2 Ch. 8

    OMG, it's baaaack!!! I missed this series! >.<

    Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - Vol. 11 Ch. 106

    Nozaki daydreaming of manga scenes while amidst a troublesome situation is *scarily* accurate for writers like me! XD And just when Wakamatsu hypnotizing himself all on his own made me chuckle, then comes along the last page. It was PERFECT, too fuckin' perfect! :))

    Koroshi Ai - Vol. 5 Ch. 30 - Reunion

    Barely alive guy willing himself to move in order to save his love is nothing new in manga, but I swear, I'm squealing in delight right now. XD

    Dr. Koto Shinryoujo - Vol. 1 Ch. 10 - Dr. Koto Makes a Decision

    I teared up at the father's reaction. T.T Great chapter!

    ByeBye Liberty - Vol. 4 Ch. 13

    Someone's dad collapsed and all female mc could focus on is her feelings. Tsk.

    Manga with a Strong Female Lead !!

    My 2016 list: http://syaochan.com/blog/archive/10-manga-heroines-that-break-the-shoujo-mold The recent otome shoujo breakout may mean that I'll need to come up with a 2019 list in the coming weeks or so. :D

    For Certain Reasons, the Villainess Noble Lady Will Live Her Post-Engagement Annulment Life Freely - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    TIL that barrier devices can be used during mouth-to-mouth CPR to protect rescuers conducting the procedure on someone with an infectious disease. I had to google it because I did a double-take when the female MC covered the king's mouth with a piece of cloth. I don't doubt the necessary nursing...

    Otona-Najimi - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Childhood friend romance hurray!!! And I like the mangaka's DameKoi despite the male lead being too harsh and standoffish at times (his megane-ness makes him more forgivable-- shame on me), so I would definitely follow this.

    Lady Baby - Vol. 1 Ch. 9

    Old nanny looked so ominous to me in the last few frames that I thought she would abduct the baby because of its potential genius ability. XD Also, the family must love the baby enough to not smash it down the floor like a Chuckie doll the moment they heard the baby string together a complete...

    Hoshikuzu Gakuen C Course

    As someone who also had to stop my schooling for a couple of years to help my family make both ends meet, I was pleasantly surprised to see this storyline in manga. The feeling of filial love and the desire to not be our parents' burden also resonated with me. I would love to read how the rest...

    Nietzsche-sensei - Konbini ni, Satori Sedai no Shinjin ga Maiorita - Vol. 3 Ch. 15 - Appearance of the Gunfire Beauty

    Excellent chapter. This really soothed my former abused customer service rep soul. XD The salt and cigarette cracks made me go, "Right on!"

    "Otome"/Shoujo Isekai List

    Awesome list! I made the rudimentary CTRL+F check and here are some titles that may not have been not included yet. EDIT: Hid the info dump behind the Spoiler button.

    I'm a Villainous Daughter, so I'm Going to Keep the Last Boss

    Off the top of my head, I'm reading 8 otome isekai titles. It specifically shares a number of cannily similar plot points with Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter. However, don't let this dishearten you. I think you'll be able to enjoy this on its own merits. Based on the first chapter, this...

    I'm a Villainous Daughter, so I'm going to keep the Last Boss - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    @kreyton - My thoughts exactly re: Common Sense. Could have been just a straight fantasy isekai if all they wanted was to bring her past admin/finance knowledge into the primitive world.
