That chapter felt a little all over the place. Looks like it's inching towards romance, though.

Hey guys, what's up guys, is Chihayafuru considered a josei or a shoujo manga, because JP Wikipedia calls it shoujo, but it seems to run in a josei magazine, and then there's this funny thing, like, the first bunch of volumes, there's barely any furigana, but then suddenly every goddamn word has furigana on it, but it might coincide with the release of the anime or something, so maybe they decided it was better suited as a shoujo manga with the new audience, so they decided to make it easier to read for kids??

JP Wikipedia calls it josei though? Edit: It's listed as 女性漫畫 which is josei. 少女漫画 is shoujo.

That was great, but Ran's dream really needs to happen at one point. Anyway, one fairly new series I'm liking is Eventually I Will Become Yours by Nakatani Nio (some woman who apparently writes a lot of Touhou doujins and not much else). Basically a school love story between a senpai and a kouhai, but as a change of pace the senpai is in love with the kouhai, who is not only oblivious to love but also keeps telling herself she'll never love anyone. The senpai promises that she will make her love her. The art is the real draw to me, honestly, but I can see the story being pretty interesting.

Nondevor posted:They recently started putting out labels on the top right corner of the chapters - these tell which chapters of Tsurezure Children correspond with the original. It's not that helpful, but at least it's something. I have finally gotten around to catching up on Tsurezure and god drat the love master is unstoppable. The girl who trolls her crush's little sister might give him a run for his money though, both in love mastery and being consistently the best.

On the opposite spectrum, the pairing with Gouda (the tall guy who doesn't speak much) and his girlfriend is adorable. Ms. Wabisabi is also pretty intense in her own way.

"A Delicious Relationship" by the same author, kind of similar in that the main protag is naive but works hard for her goal. Kind of different in that the romance is more central Obviously Real Clothes is setting up for a main relationship between Kinue and Tabuchi but that ball has barely started rolling jackofarcades fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Aug 10, 2015 |

I'm being totally useless at work and was looking for something to read that wouldn't make me all weepy (for some reason this is a problem today because everything I pick up to read is super sad!) and discovered that a group is translating Ichi Ni no San! by Puku Okuyama which I am very excited about! I love her art and own copies of Caramel and The Rule of Standing on Tiptoe but still need to get Warning! Whispers of Love. Her art is so cute and squishy, it makes me happy just looking at it

I love her art and own copies of Caramel and The Rule of Standing on Tiptoe but still need to get Warning! Whispers of Love. Her art is so cute and squishy, it makes me happy just looking at it Oh man, I am really excited by this too. Puku Okuyuma is also a huge favorite of mine - her stuff is so incredibly adorable. Caramel is one of my favorite shounen ai mangas that I own... I actually haven't read The Rule of Standing on Tiptoe yet because of my general aversion to digital manga - how does it compare to Caramel in terms of cuteness/squishiness and also just in terms of being an engaging read? And also, Warning: Whispers of Love isn't really quite as good as most of her other work, at least speaking in terms of the main story - it's still very cute, but the plot is sort of weird and absurd and it doesn't really work or gel as any sort of cohesive whole. That story takes up the first 100 pages, and luckily the three shorter stories that fill out the rest of the manga were (in my estimation) all very fun and cute and highly readable in that Puku Okuyuma way, plus they of course feature her distinctive style of artwork which I quite like. One of the stories in particular is just too adorable for words. I really generally prefer shounen-ai-type stuff over yaoi oftentimes, I guess I'm just a sucker for soft and fluffy stuff that makes me feel like I just drank that first sip of hot chocolate on an empty stomach  Also, if you really liked Caramel, might I suggest a couple other titles? Another one (that I always keep right next to Caramel because they are quite similar in some ways) is "Cafe Latte Rhapsody" by Toko Kawai. It's actually very different from her usual work, much softer and sweeter. It's funny, the two main characters are practically both ukes, they behave so shyly and adorably. Toko Kawai actually says in her afterword that in terms of the characters this was almost like a yuri manga - never having read yuri and not being familiar with the tropes I'm not even sure what she meant. Oh, and another really wonderful sweet and fluffy manga (that should still be in print) is "Honey Darling" by Akira Norikazu, a one-shot released by SuBLime. Though you may have encountered that one. It's a 200-page one-shot about an aimless guy in his twenties who happens to adopt a stray kitten, and when the kitten gets sick one night he goes out to try and find a veterinarian in the dark that's still open, and runs into a handsome stranger who (naturally) turns out to also be a vet. The younger fellow and his kitten wind up moving in as he works as (essentially) a housekeeper/assistant at the vet, as their relationship slowly develops. It's a bit silly like a lot of yaoi, but again, very sweet. It's also, like, practically as much of a "cat manga" as it is a "yaoi manga" given the importance of the cat and just the overall feeling and pace of it. It's honestly pretty great. Unfortunately, it also suffers from the poor censoring I believe I went on about earlier - ugly white blotches without even any toner or gradient to make the absence-of-cock look particularly unnatural. kaworu fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Aug 11, 2015 |

Tiptoe spends most of the story building their relationship as friends, so Caramel moves faster regarding the leads getting together IIRC. I liked the story quite a bit and it's the same squashy, cute art so I'd say if you like one you'd probably enjoy the other. I knew Whispers was a little weird so getting a copy hasn't been a huge priority but I figure since I've liked everything else I read of hers might as well, plus I'm ok with tossing  on it if it helps her other stuff get licensed. I'm a big fan of soft and fluffy stories too, although I like it when they at least get smutty in an extra or something because I like to have my cake and eat it too  Thanks for the recs; I've read Honey Darling, I remember that one because I liked the way the vet was drawn and the cat was really cute. I have not read Café Latte Rhapsody so I'll check that one out, especially since I just finished reading The Scent of Apple Blossoms and really liked it.

I am so looking forward to finally getting a tablet at this point. I do read stuff on my computer sometimes (like that Ichi Ni no San! chapter which felt like Okuyuma at her best and was definitely entirely too adorable) but I always just feel like I'm giving myself a sub-optimal reading experience when I do that, though I've gone into detail about this before. And Toko Kawai is honestly one of my favorite overall mangakas, and quite prolific - she's even had a ton of stuff licensed over here. She can be inconsistent at times, but she's one of those mangakas who is usually fairly character-focused so even if the story/plotting is weak in a given manga of hers, the characters can often carry it. Oh!! I also wanted to mention that I recently read this 2-volume manga "Only Serious About You" (Sorenari ni Shinken nandesu) by Asou Kai. It was another case where Volume 2 had been languishing in my collection, unread, for over a year because volume 1 cost $50 at least. Then I check on Amazon one day and there are 4 copies for sale for only $5 apiece and a few priced at $12, so I grab a pair of the $5 copies (I should have gotten more but I was a bit concerned it was maybe a legit price drop) but the very next day the sellers had re-priced their items. So I was pretty thrilled regardless. But anyway, the great thing was actually getting around to reading it - easily one of the best yaoi/shounen-ai mangas I've ever read. It's essentially got a very basic plot about a single dad who works at a restaurant, and starts out the (oh-so-common) trope of someone getting a fever and needing to be taken care of. But it just is so well written, and the characters were so incredibly three-dimensional and easy to relate to and sweet. It was also really refreshing to read a yaoi manga about adults that felt truly real and genuine in its characters and the story it was telling. It also makes it onto the short-list of mangas that actually made me weep - not only weep, but sob. Which I'm honestly kind of embarrassed to admit, but not nearly as much in this case. I really want to find anything this author has written that's been scanlated, because as far as I can tell this is her only licensed work, which is really a shame because it's that good.

There's some other stuff mixed in because that site's search kinda blows but there ya go lol. I've been meaning to read some of those as well. I don't link to that site generally because it's  but that's where I find most of the yaoi I read.
