#Manga: "Oshiegoto: Doujin Kyoushi to Tensai Gal"
A short GL manga revolving around a love of art and hobbies.

Art has a very nice balance between its characters and backgrounds giving the manga a clean shoujo aesthetic. Story is fast paced and more about pinning drama so expect a slow-burner vibe!

Cover illustration for vol. 1 of "Maitsuki Niwa-tsuki Ooya-tsuki" featuring the two leads, Suga Asako (left) and Kitano Miyako (right).

#Manga: "Maitsuki Niwa-tsuki Ooya-tsuki"
A sweet laid-back GL slice-of-life treat!

Art highlights character expressions with playful and intimate scenes that help deliver its best moments. The story is quiet, relatable, and funny. Story drama is handled maturely, both leads are great! Check it!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Kamitsuki Gakuen" featuring the love interests, Ichigo (left) and Umeda Shizuku (right).

#Manga: "Kamitsuki Gakuen"
A short tale of supernatural GL shenanigans with a vampiric twist.

Art and backgrounds come across as really "clean," character designs are distinct but they inhabit a monochrome world. Story is a simple romance with usual love triangle antics, but can feel a bit drab.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Happy Happia!" featuring the three main heroines, Iwatsuki Yuki (left), Koneko Mike (center), and Akizora Hako (right).

#Manga: "Happy Happia!"
A small meal of anthropomorphic school comedy.

Charming artwork and bombastic personalities are at the forefront of this short gem. Much in line with CGDCT, but with more focus on the gags than any serious story. While not every joke is a hit, it can be funny.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Grashros" featuring the main protagonist, Akuu.

#Manga: "Grashros"
A raw meal of action seinen loaded with spice!

Dynamic artwork truly brings out an incredible degree of detail and action! Expect some rawness here, in terms of the art and story, which can be appealing to some. A simple revenge story that's elevated by its world building.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Citrus" featuring the two main love interests, Aihara Mei (left) and Aihara Yuzu (right).

#Manga: "Citrus"
Spicy GL drama with some "choice" elements, certainly not rated "E."

Art here is steeped in the shoujo aesthetic with a nice balance between characters and backgrounds. Story is fine, if a bit frustrating as a romance. Characters can be very dense! Have patience and push on!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu" featuring the principal 'antagonist,' Koro-sensei.

#Manga: "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu"
A fun romp of shounen action comedy set in classroom for outcast students.

Art is decent, it has its big moments and the character designs vary across its large cast but it can feel quite flat. Story is good and worth the investment, but suspend that disbelief!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Yagate Kimi ni Naru" featuring the two main love interests, Nanami Touko (left) and Koito Yuu (right).

#Manga: "Yagete Kimi ni Naru"
A delightful course of GL drama set in school.

Art is 'quiet,' paying a lot of attention to how its characters occupy space while really delivering on its emotive scenes. Characters are compelling and its narrative is grounded, there's some melodrama, but it's solid!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Warikitta Kankei desukara" featuring the two main love interests, Kurosaki Sei and Kaburagi Aya.

#Manga: "Warikitta Kankei desukara"
An acquired spicy taste of GL shenanigans, fitting a more mature audience.

Art here is dominated by the characters, whose emotions take center stage on every panel, whether in solo or group shots. Story contains plenty of romance drama so brace yourself!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!" featuring our main love interests, Aizawa Tomo and Kubota Junichirou.

#Manga: "Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!"
A delightful school comedy romance 4-koma!

Art has a rough charm to it that slowly gets better over time. Characters are mostly all gems in their own way, expect generic romcom beats, but there's plenty of hilarity and twists in store! Bite-sized for easy reading!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Shinseiki Evangelion" featuring Ikari Shinji (foreground), Ikari Gendou (background), and EVA 01 (background).

#Manga: "Shinseiki Evangelion"
A smorgasbord of sci-fi mecha action and drama full of psychological motifs!

Phenomenal artwork matches its 90s anime counterpart, it brings the angst and action to glory on the page! Characters and story follow similar beats to the anime, but some things are unique!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Ore no Class ni Wakagaetta Motoyome ga Iru" featuring the main heroine, Koikawa Yuuka.

#Manga: "Ore no Class ni Wakagaetta Motoyome ga Iru"
A quick meal of time travel romance set in school.

Art is decent, nothing great or bad about it, though the interactions between the mains can be quite cute. Story focuses on redeeming the dynamic almost immediately so the pace is quite speedy.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Mi-chan to Airi" featuring one of the main heroines, Nakamura Midori.

#Manga: "Mi-chan to Airi"
A sweet treat of Girls Love shojou with a slight supernatural twist.

Art is pretty bare, backgrounds are scarce or minimal with the focus being on emotional scenes and character highlights. The main duo is charming, but story developments are half-baked. Easy read though!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Koroshi Korosare Sankaku Kankei ni Watashi ga Ima kara Hairun desu ka?" featuring the main heroine, Kageyama Kohaku.

#Manga: "Koroshi Korosare Sankaku Kankei ni Watashi ga Ima kara Hairun desu ka?"
A splattering of fantasy GL comedy.

Shojou vibes pop on minimalist pages with an artful eye for emotive depiction! Despite its familiar story framing, the main cast's dynamics never really have time to shine or grow.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Jitsuzon Unplugged" featuring one of the main characters, Søren Aabye Kierkegaard.

#Manga: "Jitsuzon Unplugged"
An interesting sandwich of music, comedy, and the reincarnation genre!

Art is decent, if a bit forgettable. Premise is unique, though reincarnation + music has its niche, its philosophical band battles seemed rad! But it never finds that balance for its genre & themes.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Hime Koukan: Otaku Circle no Hime ga Kareshi Koukan wo Goshomou na Ken" featuring one of the main characters in cosplay, Ebisu Miko.

#Manga: "Hime Koukan: Otaku Circle no Hime ga Kareshi Koukan wo Goshomou na Ken"
This curry of comedy drama is drenched thick with an adult-level spice of ecchi.

Art is cute and suggestive, if rough at times, though it heightens moods and scenes. Couple swap story, not for everyone! Could be worse.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Gintama" featuring one of the main characters, Sakata Gintoki.

#Manga: "Gintama"
A bonanza of historical parody with heaps of action & comedy!

Art is decent with characters and background drawn simply but with an eye for balance. Though less stylistic, it still delivers when it comes to action and gag scenes! Writing is stellar with great emotional range!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Afro Samurai" featuring the titular hero, Afro Samurai.

#Manga: "Afro Samurai"
A flavor-packed snack of samurai action!

The art here is cinematic, it brings out the best of its action scenes with flow and a charming degree of roughness, albeit can be saturated. Story's plot is pretty straightforward with characterization coming more through implication.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "2.5 Jigen Kareshi" featuring the main heroine, Koino Tsumugi, and her fictional crush, Hijikata "Tokki" Tokiji.

#Manga: "2.5 Jigen Kareshi"
A short treat of shoujo romcom.

With archetypical shoujo art that is both simple and expressive, each page is jammed with emotion and silliness, at the cost of some layout balance. Romance follows a pretty generic setup, but the comedic elements keep things lively.

Cover illustration for volume 1 of of "Yuri-ota ni Yuri wa Gohatto desu!?" featuring the two main heroines, Watanabe Fuyu and Yoshioka Ririka.

#Manga: "Yuri-ota ni Yuri wa Gohatto desu!?"
A sweet desert of GL comedy!

The art here seems a bit rough but lends itself well to the story's comedy morphing from shoujo-esque to chibi to fit its punchlines and gags. Endearing characters, especially the main heroines! Great for lightening the mood!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Vampeerz" featuring the two main heroines, Aria and Asagiri Ichika.

#Manga: "Vampeerz"
A delicate mixture of vampire GL with some comedy added for laughs.

Artwork is delightful, tender and emotive with plenty of incredible character scenes. The plot is simple, but it throws in some emotionally satisfying twists and turns. Spicy, but not overdone, heat is heat tho!

Cover illustration for volume 1 of "Tadokoro-san" featuring the two main heroines, Nikaidou Sakurako and Tadokoro Kageko.

#Manga: "Tadokoro-san"
A cute romp of GL slice-of-life!

Art is cute without being overly cutesy, which is oddly appealing and brings out the character expressions well. The story is a classic outcast introvert x popular extrovert story so it has plenty of heart-thrilling moments! Give it a read!
