From the author that brought us a number of loli hentai manga (yes i read loli hentai), comes "Stretch", a more 'normal' manga than Higashiyama Shou's previous works.
How many times have you stumbled upon a manga that encourages you to DO something instead of just laying around reading them? Yes, Stretch is that kind of rare manga. Heck, I don't remember other quite like this. Here, I will try to prove to you why you should read this.
The story of Stretch revolves around the two main characters, Keiko and Ran, who shares an apartment. It's about their daily life, relationship, and the funny

You know how in 4-komas they somehow have some kind of story? Even though there's very little panels, the artist manages to do a lot with them. Granted this isn't a 4-koma...
Reading manga for long periods of time whether digitally or physically tends to make your body sore. Maybe that's how this artist got the idea for this. This manga is, when you boil it down, a "how-to-stretch guide" and a story about 2 roommates with yuri undertones. That may sound boring but believe me, it might just surprise you. Every chapter is some story/character interaction and some stretching. All the characters are very endearing and ...

i feel like the term "slice of life" gets thrown around a lot in anime circles (i know i'm guilty of this), to the point where even something like Toradora gets labeled a sol even though it's a pretty straightforward romance show. i get that many things can take on sol traits without it being their main genre, but in the case of Stretch, we're definitely looking at a slice-of-life in its purest form.
the manga follows the daily hijinks of cool but impulsive Keiko and her busty alcoholic flatmate Ran. these two leads are a joy to read, they have genuine depth and their interactions ...

I know this is supposed to be yuri manga, but tbh other than a couple of extremely dumb and blatant moments, it's only rly yuri if you pretend both of them are yuri, which they like repeatedly say they aren't. I rly like this manga cuz it's just like chill and simple and lighthearted bc it's rly more so just 2 girls being rly rly nice to each other rather than like kinky.
The artist is pretty good in terms of the like sequencing of the images. Some of the chapters that played around w chronology were a little tough to crack. I thought the ...

Hi everyone, I'll try to explain in a few words why I have mixed feelings towards Stretch.
On the one hand, this manga has a few good things going for it, it respects the slice of life setting, the comedy works and should make you smile throughout your reading, the art felt decent aswell for a 4 koma manga. Including real life tips for stretching and relieving muscle pain in your manga is a pretty funny feature and this aspect is done well. But on the other hand, I think that this manga lacks something to become truly memorable. It's not ambitious enough, the two characters ... |
