I picked up the first volume of "Become You" from the library. It looked interesting and it was written by the author who wrote "Orange". The main character is described as a person who is persistent and never gives up, which is a theme through these 5 chapters. He strives to be a better musician that stems from his love for music, but he struggles with performing confidently.
"Become you" reminds me of a "coming of age" story, where the main character had gone through these hardships (what kind of teacher is that?!) and wishes to become something more and something better than he

4-koma, nice and simple slice of life revolving around a cute and clumsy college girl who works part time at a Buddha Cafe (the workers are monks of different sects).
each sect (of Buddhism) has a different ideas and the manga does a good job explaining it along with its practises. Sprinkles of heartwarming parts, but the comedy is more of a weak "heh" than an "laugh out loud" to me. While, of course, refreshing, you can easily binge read this series. Story-5 As to many slice of life manga, there isn't really a true plot. Every chapter is a nice story in their life ...

Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san
(Anime)
add
You can think of this anime as some sort of ramen restaurant ad. Some of the places used in the anime (that I know of) are big hot spots for tourists/foodies.
You also get to learn ALOT about ramen- types of ramen, toppings, different types of restaurants to eat at, different locations in Japan to get ramen, etc. Warning - Watching this anime makes you HUNGRY. My brother and I even went to get cup ramen after the convenience store ramen episode to eat. Other than that, there is no outstanding characters or even story. One of the MCs, Yuu, is obsessed over Koizumi, most ...

Mary to Majo no Hana
(Anime)

I recently saw this movie this past weekend, and I would like to say it's a pretty decent film. The beginning was amazing, very captivating.
Story: 6 I thought it was very childish, but that makes sense since it is a younger adult film. The characters are alright, but altogether, the story and plot were a bit dull. The story sort of jumps around and doesn't engage the audience. Art: 8 similar art to Ghibli, lots of the scenes are quite beautiful. Sound: 10 ...

This gundam series has a great amount of drama and action. Like past titles and many mechas, a standard is to have dramatic moments and tragedy, and this anime encompasses all of that. There are plenty of meaningful, deep stories within the show.
For those who dislike gundam/mech, this would be a good one to start off at because the story shows the struggles these child soldiers/slaves have. There aren't too many "real" gundams. This is also a "standalone", you don't need prior gundam knowledge, really. The first episode really pulls you in, it is full of action and sadness. It also does ...

Gakuen Babysitters
(Anime)
add
This anime is too cute. I have read/been reading the manga, and it's quite similar, but of course there are some things that are not accounted for or rushed.
It's basically a student in a babysitting club with his younger brother, a sweet and simple anime that is just too adorable. It is sometimes annoying because in the manga, you don't hear the children actually crying, but what can you do? The first few episodes were a real tearjerker (for me), which was quite surprising. Some say there's a pedophile character, but honestly this anime is really innocent and there is no "hidden" meanings. It is ...

Oniichan to Issho

I recently finished this manga that I started a while ago. I had been collecting the manga because of the adorable-ness of the art and story. However, I stopped because it got a little weird. It is about a sister who reunites with her brothers after her grandmother died. Originally, she lived with them with her mother and step-father before their fatal car accident, making these 4 brothers her step-brothers.
I personally find it a little off-putting that **spoiler** that the main character and the eldest brother fall in love with one another (romantically). I would have preferred if they would just live all together as ... Previous - |
