Utsubora - The Story of a Novelist
I have always dearly loved Nakamura-sensei's works. However, this made me want to give it up at some point. It was making sense, at the same time not making any sense to me. But the ending. I loved it. I am also no author. I cannot write the words enough to convey how much it gripped me in the end.
The House with Chinese Trumpet Vines
Kaika Apartment
I've perhaps been rereading Harada too much that I was expecting the stories to have some gore or morally questionable parts. While it wasn't what I expected, I truly loved it. The art is fantastic . Reminds me so much of Toilet bound Hanako and Ancient magus bride. Or at least the vibe seems similar for me. Is this really how short it is? I desperately want more of these

I first read this story years ago. Reading it back now, idk why but all (yes, all except that random kid on a bike) tick me off.
Here And There And Us (And Then And After)
Here and There and Us
I'd probs give this a 4.5. I get that it's slice of life, what annoys me is that the part where they actually do get together or even make up isn't shown. It's like I just missed 5 chapters. Then again, probably the author didn't want to make that the center of the story but rather high school days in general and not only romance. Kind of a bummer but still, the manga was enjoyable. I feel like I would've been even more moved if I read this back when I was graduating highschool (currently a second year in college). Not that it doesn't hit home, it does. Though I never really worries with university exams. As an Asian, that feels weird to say.

I actually loved Isoyama-san HAHAHAHA
