Lots of great manga here: Frieren, Yakuza Fiance, Oshi no Ko, Yankee and Cane Girl, Skip and Loafer. Police in a Pod can be interesting too.
Couple of Cockoos is from what I've heard more like KanoKari or Domestic girlfriend - a giant train crush that is fascinating too look at. |

Huh, really scratching my head at some of these choices. From what I've read of In the Clear Moonlit Dusk and A Sign of Affection, they are as bog-standard as they get, I really fail to see what makes them special. Yes, both have a "twist" on the formulas of their genre, except even those twists are old by now, and then they don't really do anything particularly interesting with them. The characters are boring and tropey, the relationships and conflicts are nothing we haven't seen before... yes, I know I'm probably not the target audience here, not being particularly enamored with the genres and tropes in question, but I really don't understand how these are any better than the million other pleasantly drawn shoujo romances that follow the exact same formulas as these and do it neither better nor worse.
Same with Nina the Starry Bride, it's like... why this one in particular? Yes, it's a pleasant manga I guess, if someone is into this genre, but what makes it more special than say, Itsuwari no Freya or Elia to totsukuni no ou or Boukoku no Marguerite (aka Princess Marguerite From The Ruined Country)? All of them do pretty much what Nina the Starry Bride does, and do it better. Skip to Loafer is really fun though, I look forward to the anime adaptation. |
