A new Kimi ni Todoke came out just the other day, in it Big Stuff Happens, and we learn that Sawako's text messages are pretty much exactly like you'd expect.

I approve of this Big Stuff.

I looked back a few pages and haven't seen any mention of it, so I'm going to take this chance and plug for Akagami no Shirayukihime, or "The Red-haired Snow White Princess", which got a bunch of updates a week back. Chapters 16-34 can be found here.

The prince of a country hears about a woman in his city with beautiful rare red hair, and decides to make her his concubine. Shirayuki, our protagonist, won't have any of that and tries to flee. In the forest she happens upon a group, and after helping one of them, a boy named Zan, they decide to protect her from the prince and his efforts to bring her in.

I really dig this one. It's a light-hearted fantasy, with great characters, good pacing, and some really sweet romance. Definitely check it out if you've missed out on it.

As long as it's two consenting adults and not incredibly stupid, I don't really give a drat.

Of course, most of the time the lead isn't actually an adult yet so the man always goes "No, I cannot! Not yet! Oh woe! :negative:"

I apologize if this has already been posted -- I admit I'm not a regular watcher of this thread -- but there's a really neat and heartwarming/cute romance manga out: Between Smooth and Rough. The translation is really excellent and professional, too, I hope the group stays with it!

Third chapter!

I was really confused for a couple of seconds considering what happened last chapter, then I noticed it's just a bonus chapter. Oh well, it's pretty cute and funny, and I can't imagine we'll have a lot of that in what's to come, so it's welcome.

I think someone posted this series in the thread before, but Ojojojo is extremely cute. It's short but the romance is surprisingly straightforward and light-hearted. It made me go "aww" more than a few times! :)

Most recent chapter spoilers: such a drama-free confession for once. Usually a shoujo series would end around here, but not this one :3:
This is cute though.

The same person who made Kurenai Ouji made this: Kokoro Kimiiro Sakura Iro. The main premise is that a boy had claimed that a girl, who's his childhood friend, is going to become his bride and all the embarassment following from that. While this can easily be super creepy, I think it's not, because it's very obvious that the girl also liked the boy and not currently reciprocating his affections because she didn't process it yet. Or could be that the boy is finally breaking through her defenses.

The art is super cute though!!! It's pretty light-hearted so far and I really hope it won't be super creepy!

I am a bit weirded out that there are romance between the boy's siblings and the girl's siblings, to be honest. Nothing creepy, just...odd.

The setup is obviously that the families are basically exactly the same, but reversed, so everyone gets a partner. It's pretty cute, I think.

I ended up reading the whole of Heroine Skikkaku, for some reason. The main character is a girl who is convinced, to the point of being delusional, that she's the main character in a love story with her childhood friend who doesn't return her feelings. It sounded interesting but as it went on I came to dislike the main characters more and more. Even the mandatory obnoxious other guy who shows up to sway away the girl turned out to be so much more likable. Think the blond guys from Kimi ni Todoke and Lovely Complex, except he's fairly popular and gets more character development. You know the type. Worst was probably the mandatory other girl who distracts the main guy who after he dumped her, turned into a complete slut and began dating an abusive guy who regularly beat her, all the while claiming how much fun she had living her life to the fullest or whatever.
What the hell? It even had a ton of views on the manga site and a pretty high review score. Would not read again.


But afterwards I read through Girl Friends, again, so now I feel all mushy inside. :3:

I read through it a while back. It wasn't very good, no. Which is a shame, because it was so close to actually being good. If she had just decided to stick with the blond guy who is easily the best character and left the other dude in the dust, then I think the manga would have been fairly unique and worth a read. But shoujo's gotta shoujo, I guess.

I, however, like Ayane and Chizu, so I'm fine with this. It's not really a good series to read with month to month gaps between chapters, though.

10/10 I'd follow it as a josei series and I wanted to finally meet Mitty's super successful mother.

Anyone else this it was weird how Mitty ended up marrying Haru? IDK but I thought the % of HS students marrying who they dated back then is fairly low unless it was a small town? Yeah, yeah, I know it's a manga series

Not really. Sure it's pretty rare, but I can believe it would happen to the two of them. Had they actually gotten together earlier and not let out their grievances and problems then it probably wouldn't have happened, but the two of them matured and grew a lot as persons together during the manga.

I really, really loving love the anime. But no, I'm holding out for a season 3. Which is rare, I usually almost always prefer reading a manga version to watching an anime of it, but I've never even looked at a single page of Chihayafuru.

I thought it was pretty cute the first time, when it was just a one-off joke. But if we're going to make this an active part of the relationship here, then yeah.

Doesn't help that I was incredibly confused by the chapter before it, since I just cannot remember any of these side characters, despite having re-read it a while back for precisely the same reason.
