"For me lately, what I find fun is stopping time and observing other people"
- Moritani Misuzu

Misuzu and Haruka begin their strange relationship when Misuzu discovers that Haruka is immune to her time-stopping ability. The story revolves around the requests that Haruka makes and the effect of those requests. Some turn out harmless, others not so much. The story is easy to follow and mostly lighthearted in its approach.

The art is simple and clean. No confusing a character for another here, even though the style is simple.

Misuzu is what society calls an introvert and loner whereas Haruka is an social butterfly and class idol. The ... characters don't stay like that, they develop more. Some actions which seem to strengthen their image actually have something more to them. When the two of them interact, Haruka is usually teasing Misuzu, much to her embarrassment. They have a nice bond by the end of the manga and you can see how they influenced each other to change.

This yuri manga is great. There are plenty of funny moments and relationship-building moments. Before I knew it, I finished the whole thing.

Just try it, I'm sure you won't regret it.

"Would you give up your -"

The above sentence is one you will see a few times in this manhwa. You'll understand its significance when you read it.

For the Sake of Sita's Sita is partly based on the Sita who is the central female character of the Hindu epic Ramayana. I can't say anything about the accuracy of the portrayal of the Sita in this manhwa, it would be best to keep in mind that this is not a super accurate portrayal and that they are quite different in their portrayals.

Simply put, this is a love story. Not a grand one spanning centuries or decades ... but a rather simple one. The story moves fast and not a single panel seemed to be wasted. The romance is not the kind that is just said, there are plenty of actions that both leads take to show each other their love.

The characters may seem shallow at first but eventually we get to see more of what is in their thoughts. In particular, one character who may seem perfect will eventually become more human.

It's a cheesy love story but it's a rather decent one. That being said prepare tissues if you get attached to stories too easily. You won't be getting out with your eyes dry.

Give it a try, perhaps it will be to your taste.

Ayame-14 is a comedy manga. If you want a substantial story even if it's just some romance, you won't get it here. Still here? Ayame-14 is a comedy manga that focuses on sexual jokes. Interested? Read it or keep reading if you're not convinced yet.

Although Ayame-14 is a comedy manga, it doesn't use the 4-koma format. The art changes between lewd and comedic depending on the situation. The artist does a good job setting the mood with their art.

The manga focuses on Ayame and her group of friends. Recently reaching puberty, Ayame comes to a realisation and that is what sets the stage for ... many of the jokes. The characters are pretty much cliches but they all have different ways of reacting to the situations they're thrown into.

Maybe you've gotten bored of 4-komas like Seitokai Yakuindomo and want to read something with a different cast of characters. Ayame-14 seems like it was axed and the ending is quite abrupt. Nevertheless, read it if you don't mind that.

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 ... seem like real people you could meet in real life. Even the way they interact can be a source of comedy/story progression/character development.

Almost every chapter of this manga I read, I ended up laughing. I'd say the comedic quality is high and consistent. Sometimes the characters' antics reminded me of all the idiotic things I've seen my classmates do.

Kick back, relax, read some Stretch and don't forget to stretch every once in a while!

You know when you look at your friend and suddenly start thinking, "I'm turned on"? No? Jokes aside, that's how this manga starts. Like the title implies, the main character experiences a shift in the way she sees her friend.

Sexual attraction that almost seems sudden. The story is short so I won't say anything about it but just know that it's nice and fluffy. Though we don't get to see the characters for long, their relationship at least, has plenty of development.

Though I can't ... say I would regret not reading this, I would certainly not say that I think it was a complete waste of time. It's short, yuri, and cute. That much is enough for me.

Do you like short yuri doujin manga? If you usually don't, this won't change your mind but if you do, give it a read. It's very short after all.

In stark contrast to the title of this novel, I read it when it was a warm sunny day and I was spending time on the Internet. This novel is wonderful to read.

When you read translations, you can't really say that you've read the work as the author intended it to be but I am sure the translators did a good job as the style of the novel was consistent and flowed naturally. The story is nothing groundbreaking, it's not something that'll amaze you but it delivers its message clearly. If you're worried that it'll be confusing since ... it's in the future, don't be.

The art of this novel is good. While it is not anything to write home about. I feel that the personalities and general feel of the characters match up with their depictions in the art. There aren't many of them so don't let your dislike for the art weigh in too much to your decision to read this.

At first, it's just Iris and her master but gradually new characters are introduced. The relationship between the characters are plainly obvious and their thoughts are shown through their actions and words. Iris, of course, develops the most. The changes she goes through do not seem sudden, on the other hand, they are slow and perhaps realistic for an android.

This novel may be dreary at times but there's always a bit of humour and cheer sprinkled in between. I did not spend weeks analysing this novel but it did serve as food for thought for a few days. The themes presented are relatable especially, in these modern times and the plight of some characters are not at all hard to emphasise with.

All in all, I can only type what I think about this novel so just give it a read and maybe you'll find something you like about it when you do.
