It's such a small visual thing, but I love the one talk bubble that's made up of the girl's cigarette smoke.

Ran and the Gray World

What a lovely manga!

It's funny, it's lovely, it has a sense of wonder, of magic (well, easier to do with a magical setting but still :P). It's fluffy, and dreamy, and beautiful. It's romantic, and sexy.

Ran and the gray world is probably in my top 10 favorite manga, creepy romance plot and all. It really does just have this sense of wonder to it that I haven't seen too much in other stuff.

Probably why it gets recommended in the 'convince in one image' thread all the time.

edit: And soredemo is probably in top 20, but I think I like the characters more.

I have to confess I usually like "impossible love" in fiction. I know it's just a trope, but if it's well executed, it really pumps up the romantic tone. I also liked Please Save my Earth end, for example, or the Koi Kaze manga.

Obviously just in fiction, in real life it would be loving creepy. I somehow distinguish between the two, they are total separate entities. I know other people aren't like that, from personal experience.

I suppose in truth I'm not that different of people who likes "gay couple" pure love stories, as part of that appeal is their 'forbidden love'.

I swear, if it's really you, I need to get this off my chest. I fell in love with you, I still love you to this day, and I will love you forever and even after the rolling credits.

But this is the seinen thread. Yaoi fluff is an entirely different genre.

Here's a Slice of Life (SoL) Seinen submission from a first time caller. I'm advised that, as a doctor, that I am not to be held accountabke for the bad taste of the listeners phoning in requests.

The only issue with it is that it seems to have been cancelled, but it still managed to end pretty well. It's funny, it's dramatic, it's gorgeously drawn, aaaaaaand

Oh hey I have a copy of that. All I remember is the short haired one likes weightlifting and often tries (and fails) to get the other two to join her.

Heh, reading through Baki 2 and I don't know when these were done, but some of the chapters came from Band of the Hawk. It never gets old seeing "Griffisu" and "Gatsu" used.
