Review: Everyone's Getting Married, Vol. 1

Everyone's Getting Married, Vol. 1 Everyone's Getting Married, Vol. 1 by Izumi Miyazono
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I simply love this manga.

The main characers are polar opposites in their way of thinking towards settling down, bit also share qualities and thoughts that appeal to each other.

Their intereaction is carefree and easy-going in a moment and full of tension in another, but what I love is how natural and mature the flow of their relationship is.

Some things might look rushed, but I'm pretty sure that this is just the beginning of a wonderful slow-build emotional story, where opinions and world views will clash, feelings and unique moments will be discovered and we'll enjoy the roller-coaster of feels this josei is going to make us ride for sure.

Review: Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 14

Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 14 Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 14 by Adachitoka
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The tension is reaching a new high.

Seeds of doubts, tested trust, betrayal and desperation are some of the things present in this volume, with a few silver linings in between.

Yato is trying to find a balance between what he wants and what he considers is the right path. New and old characters stir things around and quite the emotional cliffhanger that leaves the readers looking for more.

I wonder what will be revealed in the next vol...

Review: Bloody Mary, Vol. 3

Bloody Mary, Vol. 3 Bloody Mary, Vol. 3 by Akaza Samamiya
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The mystery around Mary starts to unravel.

Informative flashbacks let us know the Maria's granfather, the inmortal Yzak and his deepest desire.

A shoujo story full of bromantic undertones, puzzles and the supernatural touch of vampires. I wonder what other twists and turns are awating the readers in the next volume...

Review: Inu x Boku SS, Vol. 11

Inu x Boku SS, Vol. 11 Inu x Boku SS, Vol. 11 by Cocoa Fujiwara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Last volume of this series. Full of ups and downs, plot twists of doom, comedy, drama and romance.

At first, it was quite the comedy with its dash of romance but things started to get seriuous and dark as the story continues followed by quite the shock in some places and quite the fascinating tale in others.

It's been a long road, all characters became dear to me with their personalities and quirks, and it was great that all of them got their happy ending in one way or another.

It's sad that the author of such a wonderful story is no longer in this world, but her works will live on in all of us readers that appreciate said stories.

If you like supernatural stories based on Japanese mythology in modern times, romantic comedy and adventure, then this is the one for you.

Review: So Cute It Hurts!!, Vol. 7

So Cute It Hurts!!, Vol. 7 So Cute It Hurts!!, Vol. 7 by Gō Ikeyamada
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So, the cuteness overload continues!

The rival appears to create storm clouds in Mego and Aoi relationship. The other pair is also starting to show progress and the cliff hanger it's the classic one that makes you want to read ghe next vol to see what is going to happen next.

I'm not going to lie, this manga is as cliche as it comes, but is one of my guilty pleasures that I read when I want to read some cute, pinky and classic shoujo story. Some scenes are awww worthy and the bishies are interesting in their own way.

Review: Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 5

Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 5 Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 5 by Junko
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mutsumi-senpai's arc which was hilarious and adorable at the same time. I liked that he discovered his feelings during the volume in a believeable way.

He's my favorite character in the story. I love how kind and devoted he is, even more so when he's decided something. I'm looking forward to the next vol. :)

Requiem of the Rose King, Vol. 4 Requiem of the Rose King, Vol. 4 by Aya Kanno
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intrigue...the war of roses, and so many dark and psychologycal themes that just keeps you on your toes while reading.

The author is doing a great job with her own twist of this historical retelling. I can't wait to read the next volume :)

Review: Me Before You

Me Before You Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A sad love story.

Realistic, with its endearing and frustrating parts. A story that shows you the weight caused by Choice. Resignation, sadness and tear-jerking moments here and there and finally the painful decision of letting go.

Not my cup of tea, but it has many inspirational phrases that coul be considered silver lining through the ups and downs of the story.

Review: Rebel of the Sands

Rebel of the Sands Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was an intersting read.

The story has many desert legends and it gives a slight sense if the classic Arabian Nights' tales. The characters are quite catchy in their own right, with personalities and abilities that would make you follow their storyline all the time.

Even if the story is told in Amani's point of view, I was able to understand the other character's feelings, but I hope to read some of Jin's point of view in the future.

Fantasy, adventure and a dash of desert romace create quite the appealing tale for many interested parties.
