This manga is about a girl who will be forcibly married off after graduating high school, so she decides to spend her time until then fantasizing about imagined yuri relationships. It's an interesting idea in theory, but the manga has several problems.
First, the format is really jarring. Every chapter is broken into two parts. The first follows the main character and her friend finding a random pair of girls to fantasize about. Then the second part shows you what the pair of girls are actually

Bleak and Slow
This is not a bad manga, but whether you enjoy it will depend on a couple of key things.
- Do you enjoy slow, episodic storytelling?
- Are you okay with a bleak and oftentimes depressing atmosphere?
If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, you will probably enjoy this manga. For me, the answer is "no" and "not usually", so I can't really give the manga more than 3/5. I will say that the last two chapters did pique my interest a bit, but probably not enough to continue reading the ser

I'm sure this manga will appeal to some, but it didn't work for me at all. I rarely drop a manga volume partway through, but it was a struggle to even finish the 5 chapters that I did. The manga is full color, which is one of the reasons I checked it out, but the art itself is very mediocre. The largest downside for me was the lack of continuity between pages. Even though the manga is organized into chapters, many pages within a chapter are completely unrelated. It was also too philosophical and

The series is off to a great start with this volume. The chapters are all 4 pages long. Usually this format doesn't appeal to me, but here it worked really well. Additionally, it has a really unique aesthetic due to the green color used along with the typical black and white. The story is really cute, and honestly if it wasn't for the cliffhanger type of ending I may have given it 5/5.
Note that the manga is available for free on the author's Twitter. There is some extra content in the volume t

忘れえぬ魔女の物語 has a really interesting premise: The main character Ayaka experiences multiple "versions" of each day, but then only one is selected to become the "real" version of that day. She remembers everything that happened in all versions, but everyone else only remembers the selected version. Unfortunately, the book did not deliver a quality story based on that premise.
While the first 2/3 of the book had interesting parts, it was a bit slow and repetitive. It did dive into the good and bad

This book (君愛) is part of a pair, the other being 僕が愛したすべての君へ (僕愛). Both could probably be enjoyed individually and they can probably be enjoyed in either order as well. That’s because they both reference and (loosely) spoil events from the other, and you’re likely to have some “ah ha” moments with whichever one you read second, but in neither case are the events of one a requirement to understand or enjoy the other.
That said, there is an argument to be made that 君愛 should be read first and 僕愛
Entertaining, but very questionable premise
Imagine a manga where a student has a crush on an OL that they run into on the way to school every day. Now add in that the student wears a sailor uniform, but uses the pronoun 僕, is sometimes addressed with ちゃん, but is also addressed with くん. Add in that the OL is intrigued by this gender ambiguity and sometimes has a little ドキドキ reaction to the student when they talk each morning.
Put all that together and you have a cute premise and a lot of promise. If the OL was 21 and the student was 17 t
