Mizuki and Kazu lived next door, and grew up together. Mizuki is 3yr younger and often thought this was a gap between them. But they got married!! This manga is all about their everyday beautiful married life, life as lovers, as parents and more.
From time to time we get flashbacks from childhood, high school and university days.
Art:
Art is clear, character design is nice. Mizuki is cute. This story itself is so cute.
Characters:
You’ll love all the characters. No villain or enemy, just pure love and family time.
Overall:
This is the most wholesome romantic manga you’ll ever find. Slice of life.
Chapters are short, and you can binge through
it in 2-3hr like I did!!
This is not an action, or adventure manga. It is a light and wholesome read and after every chapter you’ll be smiling and thinking about your girlfriend (imaginary, of course;)
Thank you for reading this review!!

This is a unique manga. Dubiously underrated.
The protagonist is a guy called Totono.(weird name)
He is smart, calculative and not at all shy to voice his thoughts.
Every chapter has a murder mystery and yet the feel of the manga is very light, enjoyable. Can even say it’s funny. Even philosophical at times.
Story: 9
I love episodic manga, with a little world building. And this perfectly fits the bill.
We see whodunit murder mysteries, and very logical explanations and deductions.
Art: 8
This manga has big focus on dialog rather than the art. Yet, the art is really good. Clean, beautiful.
Character: 8
Characters come
and go, their personalities are shown in depth. Various layers are seen. We don’t know much about the main guy though. He’s a smart guy, won’t say he’s charming though.
Enjoyment: 9
Exhilarating. Read all the available chapters in one go. Start reading and I bet you won’t be able to stop. Reads like a Agatha Christie novel.
So overall I’d say this manga is a must for people who like : murder mystery, detective, psychological, seinen, and episodic manga.
Don’t read if you want fights or romance.
And if you find any manga like this please tell me, I would love to read that.
Thank you for reading my review!!

Ao ashi is a football manga about a suburban kid who goes to Tokyo to become a pro. The kid’s name is Aoi Ashito.
Story (7)
As you see, the plot sounds nothing original. But the presentation is fresh.
The kid is good but not overpowered.
Instead of shonen logic of “genius son of genius father” or “power of friendship” Ashito grows by practising football/soccer.
He is consistent, stubborn, a little slow to learn but hardworking.
Most football manga like in Inazuma XI, Captain Tsubasa and Days are pretty unrealistic. They are good, but aimed at kids.
This however is VERY realistic. We learn about football— training in Rondo, Passing>dribbling, vision
is important, the role of CB vs FB,etc.
If you like football this is a must read!!
Art (8)
Art is clean, easy on the eyes. In sports manga it is very important for reader to SEE how the ball travelled and how the players moved. This is amazing in Ao Ashi. And the kids design looks good too.
Characters (8)
This is the most important part of any manga. The kid— Aoi is likeable, has a poor family so we root for him. BUT he is a selfish Forward. Doesn’t like to pass initially, so I didn’t like that part. But that makes it more realistic.
The team camaraderie is on point. Good friends, just friends, jealous guys, wise coach, and a girl too. All characters are written well.
Enjoyment (9)
Very very enjoyable. I read 120 chapters in just 3 days. Pace is good. And story is unpredictable at times, which keeps it fresh.
Overall (8)
I highly recommend Ao Ashi to everyone!! If you are looking for a sports manga in high school setting, you’ll love it. It’s quite similar to Giant Kiling, which is amazing too.
Go try this out and tell me if you liked it😄
Thank you for reading.

Reiri is a historical fiction manga written by Hitoshi Iwaaki(parasyte/ historie).. It's about a girl whose family is killed but she is saved by a Samurai Lord. She decides to become a fighter for him.
If you like Japanese history, this is a must read. It has great action, dialog and thoroughly enjoyable.
We see Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Nobukaysu and other warlords make war. And Reiri is in the midst of it all!!
Story: 8
It's fiction. But follows history as closely as possible, with few added spices.
Art: 8
Art is always smooth and easy on the
eyes. Fights are easy to follow.
Character: 8
I loved Reiri, Okabe, Souzo, and Nobukatsu. You'll love them too. They are written so beautifully! There is immense character growth for our protagonist. Physical as well as mental.
Enjoyment: 9
The pacing is fast, to say the least. In 35 chapters an entire piece of history is packed. I enjoyed every page.
My only complaint-- Reiri is overpowered.
And one wish-- I wish it had more than 35 chapters.
So that's it!! Go on read the story. Hope you like it.
Thank you for reading this review!!

Ao ni nare/ Be Blues
It is a shonen manga about a kid Ryuu Ichijou who wants to turn blue ie. wear Blue jersey of the Japanese National Football team.
I say it's shonen but it is without the usual tropes. In this story the protagonist levels up by his own effort, he plans for success, and from time to time gets unlucky too. We see him struggling and he responds in a realistic manner.
This is unlike other shonen where the MC gets sudden powerups, has amazing genes due to a legendary father, and is always lucky to meet great teachers who teach them forbidden techniques.
STORY
The story
is simple. Boy wants to be a footballer. But in this simplicity lies beauty. There are no villains here. Only real life struggles and people who overcome. Highly inspiring.
ART
The artwork is good. Football movements are well explained in matches, making it easy to understand.
CHARACTERS
This is where the manga truly shines. You fall in love with these guys, you cheer for them and wish for their success.
ENJOYMENT
Full enjoyment!! There is never a full moment here. I read 60 chapters in one day. The only problem is that only 80 chapters have been scanlated so far. But a new one comes out every week.
Recommendation:
All sports fans, football fans especially please read this. If you want an inspirational story-read this.
This is one of the most underrated manga out there!
Thanks for reading!

It seems strange that nobody has written a review for such an amazing manga. So I'll write one! I've read 11 chapters so far and plan to catch up to scanlated chapters today itself.
Story:
A teenager skips time, and takes the place of Oda Nobunaga. Reminds me of another manga called Jin, which is good too.
The genre is historical fiction, with action and drama.
Most historical facts are correct, with minor details changed for entertainment.
Art:
Characters are drawn well, I'm always happy when each character has a unique look. Art is good, to say the least.
Characters:
I like the lead replacement Oda, yet he is always hard to understand.
Even as a reader I'm not sure what he'll do next, this is always exciting! Other characters are also well developed.
Enjoyment:
I'm a total fan of historical fiction like Vagabond, House of five leaves, Vinland Saga, etc. Hence I love this series. There is less sword vs sword combat and more of tactics.
Overall: ( 8/10 )
I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes drama set in the past. Anyone can enjoy it though!
I find the chapters are long and full of story, and there are no fillers. Give it a try.
Thanks for reading!!

Starting reading ReLife yesterday, read through it in one go. Loved it from the first page to the last. The guy we are introduced to in the beginning made me empathise. I could relate to him and his dreams of a happy middle class life. I felt excited how his life would turn out. The ReLife was a Deux Ex machina, but not really, since it is the very premise of the book.
This is a story of highschool romance, of the hardships of adjusting to adult life, of friendship and of second chances in life. It is a slice of
life.
Story:
Using ReLife capsule, a person can get the appearance of a highschool kid and attend one. The ReLife organisation helps NEETs to relive their highschool and adjust better as adults.
Soon the story becomes your everyday school romance- love stories, breakups, bullying (little bit), new friendships, etc
It did not bore me because I had fallen in love with these characters.
The ending is beautiful too. The journey is equally good.
Art:
The art is easy on the eyes. Sometimes the backgrounds are even kept white. But it suits the style of the story. There is no ecchi or harem. I like that because it helps me focus on the story.
Characters:
I loved the main characters as well as the supporting characters. There are no evil plotters in this story. The fears are the demons inside. We see these guys fight their inner fears and overcome them, sometimes on their own but mostly via their friends' help. In one word- memorable characters.
Enjoyment:
As much as I love this manga I know it is not revolutionary in either story, art or execution. But it gets full points for enjoyment. It keeps the reader engaged throughout.
At one point I wanted to see the main characters, but the story kept focusing on silly things in others characters' lives. I read through that part quite fast.
Overall: (9/10)
Must-Read. It is a fun read. The chapters are really short and fast paced. Read it for a Slice Of Life.
Don't expect any evil vs good action fights or blood and gore.
Thanks for reading!

Like most coming of age mangas, this story starts with a highschool student. His name is Miyamoto Dai. Dai plays basketball sincerely and for fun, but he knows that this cannot be his future. He knows this is not the passion of his life. One day Dai listens to a Jazz concert and realises, this is what he wants to do. And his brother buys him a saxophone and Dai goes to the riverside and starts playing. With this beginning, I was already hooked, and as the story progressed so did my love for it.
Story:
Simple story, boy falls in love with Jazz, and keeps playing
though rain, heat, snow, fear, criticism and self doubt. He loves his saxophone.
Art:
The art is good, especially the intricate sketches of the shiny instruments.
Characters:
Dai is the main character and he is well crafted. He has a stable head, is kind, and wildly ambitions as far as his Jazz if concerned. Other characters like his friends, brother, etc are also well crafted.
Enjoyment:
Highly enjoyable! I read the entire 20 chapters scanlated online in one sitting. Can't wait for more chapters.
I was shocked to see such a great manga with no reviews, then I realized that only a few chapters have been scanlated. It does not matter, just read it. You'll love it.

Kurayami Dance or Dance in the Darkness, is a short manga, with only 20 chapters. It reads like a novel,ie. it is unlike your everyday manga, where there is a highschool, heroes, villains,etc.
Story:
There story is surrealistic, we don't know what is true and what is a figment of imagination. Still, it is interesting. Had the manga stretched for more than 20 chapters, I might've been bored.
Art:
The art is clean, easy on the eyes.
Characters:
There is a protagonist, and a handful others, we don't spend much time with a character to relate. But this style suits this manga.
Enjoyment:
On its own, I found the ride to
be fun. What was even greater was the fact that this manga is unique, so reading it gives a sense of novelty. Try it out!

Yuu Haruna is the typical shonen protagonist, a plain looking guy with no particular abilities. He meets an interesting girl, Fuuka and shares her interest in music. They met a few more friends and make a music band. That's the beginning of this manga, Fuuka.
I really love Beck, so I saw that Fuuka was recommended, what I also saw was that it had lots of downvotes, ie. many people have rated it 1/10 , and that's unreasonable. Maybe it is because when they started reading, they were expecting a sequel to Suzuka,(by Seo Kouji, same author), or maybe they were expecting a definite plot, sadly
the manga takes a big turn within the first 40 chapters, I too was turned off by it, but then after that it just kept improving. Fuuka is a very engaging story with lovable characters. You should really give it a try, especially if you loved Beck.
PS. No manga can ever surpass Beck. MCP forever!!
Story:
The story is very simple, there is group of friends,
make a music band,
things get out of hand,
Now they're playing again.
( That's my rapping style)
Art:
The art is good, no compromise. Also there is LOTS of Fanservice. Lots of hot scenes. This ecchi part turned me off earlier, but later got used to it.
Characters:
Initially they all seem like stock characters but slowly but surely they improve. You'll find yourself rooting for them, that's when you know you are a fan of this band.
Enjoyment:
I would say this is the biggest strength of this manga, it is enjoyable throughout, and well paced. I read 200 chapters in just 4 days, it was unputdownable.
I started reading expecting an average manga, but now that I'm done I feel like I'll never forget this story, these guys, and their music.
