Once in a while you stumble upon a story that hits home so hard on a certain period of your life, that you can't help but laugh and cry along.
At the time of writing of this review Tetsugaku Letra has not been completed. And since no one else has done so yet I decided to write a review in order to urge others to read, what I consider to be, one of the greatest slice of life stories of all time.
I'll start off by saying that Tetsugaku Letra is realistic. There are no fancy dreams to be achieved, no flashy goals and boisterous characters, and

Let me start by saying that I am head over heals in love with this manga. Even thought I know that rating 10 is pretty much as high as it gets, still I would rate it even higher if it was possible!
Tetsugaku letra is a “slice of life” story by Sahara Mizu, also known as Yumeka, Sumomo. To be honest , I didn't even know she existed until a few months ago. It was one of those days when you get tired of reading the same story over and over again, and finally decide to go look for something special. While I quickly went ...

Really really loved it.....
Each character in the story were well fleshed out and there was a sort of human-ness(I dont think thats even a word) to them....Its just that to me, even the ones that seemed like bad hearted characters didnt seem so bad at the end and all our main characters were too damn lovable.There were small arcs for each character which made me clise to these characters. I felt like I was watching over their growth. I came here for some romance which wasnt much but I'm still fine with how their relation panned out. Every person in the world is talented in one way ...

Tetsugaku Letra is like that piece of cake that you want just one more bite.
The story reels you in, every single chapter. It’s so painfully realistic, without the frills and bells of school life manga, while being so wonderful warm in its simple storytelling. To be honest, I fell in love quickly with the characters. Fujimoto, Ichinose, Kikuchi, Ishikawa... loveable dorks who try their best in ever way. Echoing the fact that it’s very realistic: all our protagonists have something they feel bad about, something that makes them feel like trash. This manga doesn’t offer a solution. There’s no character arc or anything, like where ...

This is my first review and it won't be detailed or good either.
I chose to write this review to show how disappointed I'm in this manga. I went in expecting to read a romance manga about two peculiar characters who overcome their trauma, instead, I got quasi-dancing manga(who to be honest didn't really represent that either) with flawed side-characters and their trauma which itself wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so damn pathetic. From "cuckolding" and cheating to enabling toxic relationships. (spoilers) Now to the main story. The premise presents the mc and the female lead having an important encounter that ...

Just finished binging it and it's 3 am as of the time I'm writing this do I'll keep this concise.
Story:7/10 Slice of life so there's not much going but the events that are presented and occur throughout the manga are quite good in terms of quality. One thing that annoyed me the most was the way the romance was handled, it dragged out superbly long and the payoff was disappointing. Art: 10/10 The character design in this manga is something I love, it's simple yet detailed. Character: 7/10 The main cast somewhat memorable, I won't be forgetting the main characters soon and they're not copies of popular tropes. My ...

A great manga, a nice and fun read. Despite a hasty ending.
The characters are nice and charismatic. All end up having a good development and deepening about them, making the connection with the reader more powerful. That said, the end of a special arc that left something to be desired had a strange conclusion. The MC, Ichinose, is a character who goes through a great journey throughout the work. He is a person who has made mistakes and has sunk into depression because of it. However, after the event that made him want to change, he gradually grows into a more open person about his passions and ...

I'm writing this short yet simple review because this series was so WELL WRITTEN in my opinion. (its not really a review rather its me showing my my love for this series)
This series was so wonderful with simple storytelling with realistic problems that they have to face and overcome, each character is so LIKEABLE and well written in my opinion. This series shows how a person can change both good way and in a bad way, one inspires while the other breaks them, one abandons and ones moves forward to strive change, it was just so satisfying to see each characters "growth" as a person.
