    Yotsuba to! - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Yotsuba & Manners

    I just want to say that I really love what you're doing here. These are beautiful pages, and I can't think of a single title here that both needs and deserves them more. This is one of the greatest manga of all time, but the pages of the early chapters have always been disappointingly small...

    Isshou Hatarakitakunai Ore ga, Classmate no Daininki Idol ni Natsukaretara - Vol. 4 Ch. 23 - A contract with my Dad

    Okay, so I can sort of get not wanting to go the plain old tired route of "they met in childhood and it was the most momentous thing in her life but he forgot," since that's not only cliched by cruel, but this whole "gets physically ill then passes out whenever he tries to remember, then dreams...

    Gal no Jitensha o Naoshitara Natsukareta - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - I Ate Lunch with a Gal

    Huh... I didn't expect to see the gyaru's POV in this - I expected it to be one of those in which we're just stuck following along as he agonizes over whether or not the girl who spends every moment she can with him is interested in him or not. Well... that's undoubtedly still what a lot of...

    Gal no Jitensha o Naoshitara Natsukareta - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - I Repaired a Gal’s Bicycle

    Sort of promising, but it's a shame that they already introduced the cute, sincere, dark-haired meganekko who's instantly my favorite and will inevitably get her heart broken.

    Teisou Gyakuten Sekai de Tanomeba Yareru to Uwasa no Ore - Ch. 14.1

    And here I am, still cheering for the manager...

    Osananajimi Kanojo no Morahara ga Hidoin de Zetsuen Sengen shite Yatta - Ch. 55.1

    I think this series really should have a synopsis that says that this quiet guy has been bullied by his supposed girlfriend for years, but he finally stands up for himself and gets away from her, then he meets a really sweet and shy girl in his class and they begin to encourage each other to...

    Yotsuba to! - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Yotsuba & Moving

    Aah. It's been a lot of years since the last time I read this. And it's just as good as I remembered. And now, as long as I'm here, I'm going to have to read chapter 9 - Yotsuba & Revenge - quite possibly the single best manga chapter ever.

    Kesa mo Yuraretemasu - Vol. 3 Ch. 28 - This Morning, They're Also Making Their Summer Debut

    This chapter might've been the best illustration yet of just how skilled Eiji-sensei is. Taken individually, none of this should've worked. If you tried to explain this chapter to someone who hadn't read the series up to now, they'd never get it, because it's just too outlandish and too...

    Kesa mo Yuraretemasu - Vol. 3 Ch. 25 - It's Crowded Again This Morning

    Ahh... and we're set for summer.

    Osoraku Kanojo wa Ore no Aniki o Neratteru - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    Mmm... I dunno about this one. It has all of the ingredients to be a cute romcom, but it doesn't seem to be mixing them very well. For whatever reason, it doesn't feel like an unfolding narrative, but more like just a sort of disjointed string of characters and events and scenes. Hopefully...

    Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku - Ch. 91 - What does this look like to you?

    If you think this has just been about Komichi, then you obviously haven't been paying attention. That says to me that you don't remember the end of chapter 3, when Hiro dedicated two pages to the pictures and the names of every member of the class, all of whom we've gotten to know better, and...

    Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku - Ch. 91 - What does this look like to you?

    No, it very much should NOT have. I know this is hard for yuri fans to grasp, but yuri isn't the only important thing in any manga ever. This manga has always been about godly art, subtly complex and vivid emotional content, character analysis and development, and slices of life ranging all...

    Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku - Ch. 91 - What does this look like to you?

    Interesting stuff going on. I sort of suspected that Komichi didn't see the kiss the same way the fans hoped she did (or the same way that Erika apparently did). To her, it was just part of playing the role she was chosen to play as well as she could. And now she's willing to play the role a...

    Koibito Swap - Vol. 2 Ch. 10

    Interesting, and thanks for that. And I'm impressed. I still stand by my opinion of the manga ending - it's a very open ending, since it doesn't go into any of the details of what happened to the cheaters afterwards, but it works all right by itself and doesn't leave any obvious loose threads...

    Seishun Bakusou! - Vol. 5 Ch. 35 - Aardvark

    I just can't see this ending well for Maruo. Sooner or later, Tabe's going to break completely, and when she does, she's going to take everybody within reach with her.

    Koibito Swap - Vol. 2 Ch. 10

    Simple, short and satisfying. I can see wanting to see the cheaters suffer, but that would've made the story darker. Leaving the details out allowed the whole thing to be lighter and more... cheerful, almost ("Thank you for cheating on me" was such a great line). I'm okay with that, all things...

    Futari Bus - Vol. 3 Ch. 33 - Summer Festival

    That last panel was breathtaking. You're right Shunpei - you can't let go.

    Futari Bus - Vol. 3 Ch. 28 - Bus for One

    Early in this chapter, when they were just shopping together, I was thinking that Luluca really is probably good for An just in general, since she has that infectious enthusiasm and gets her to relax and let down her guard a bit. But then of course later in the chapter she showed how she's...

    Futari Bus - Vol. 2 Ch. 16 - Do Your Best

    That was just plain awesome, from start to finish. This had been good all along, but with this chapter alone, it just jumped way up my list of favorites. That just hit all the right notes and left me with a smile and a tear in my eye, and what more could I want?

    Futari Bus - Vol. 2 Ch. 14 - Soar High

    Ooh - that's some major progress! Even the bus driver thought so.
