Is Love So Life any good, it looks cute from the cover. Dunno about the whole age gap romance thing if it's there(and it probably is), but the babysitting premise sounds nice and low-key.

Haven't read it myself but have seen others indicate that it's great for cute babysitting, less great for romance because it moves at a glacial pace or something.

I've read a bit. It seems all right and nice. Hasn't really hooked me but it makes you feel good inside, at least for the family parts. Not sure about the romance part since it seems very slow in that regard.

I like it and recommend it.

e: The romance is 'slow' but that's fine what with the age gap

I remember it being pretty boring, plus there's the age thing. Check out the Dad Manga thread to find better stuff.

How unsightly.
Love so Life is super cute, but not because of the romance.


Lots of the classic Misunderstood Feelings though, if you hate that.

Is the mangaka of Tomo-chan on hiatus, or is it the translator / scanlator who's on break? I crave my daily dose of Tomo-chan and there hasn't been a new chapter out for two whole days.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
Yeah usually anime people are so good at reading each other's feelings.

It has a seriously amazing official release.

Eight volumes (of fifteen) out now, but no information on the ninth and the translator is lamenting its probable cancellation.

A sensitive masterpiece from Japan's most prominent creator of LGBT manga. Shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and Yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy. Shimura portrays their journey with affection, sensitivity and humor.

Not only is it a touching story about a couple of LGBT kids, it's one of the best stories about adolescence I've ever read. The US version is crazy high quality too: hardcover, great paper, nice binding and a great translation.
Shimura's art starts out a little plain, but soon develops into a really nice, delicate style with some absolutely fantastic line-work.


Check out all the details and long list of glowing reviews on the official page.

That sounds fantastic and I'm bummed it's getting cancelled. :(

I guess at least if it does get canned, there's the hope scanlation groups might pick it back up again.

No reason to keep them if the series isn't even going to get finished, guess I'll wait to hear if that's confirmed before getting rid of them. I love the series but there's no sense in keeping an incomplete book series.

Scans are finished and pretty high quality, it's just a shame cause the official release are really good
