Just finished the first volume of My Happy Marriage. I really don't know how I feel about this first volume. I really liked the story and the intrigue. The historical context is something totally new to me, and I think it was an excellent introduction for me to that genre.

What I could criticize is perhaps that I felt like there’s too much “thinking” and that there is not enough dialogue during this first volume. It’s a really good way to show the different point of view of the characters, but I personally really felt the lack of discussion.

I made my silly little research about this manga and learned that it’s actually from a light novel (it could explain the lack of dialogue in the first volume!) and that there’s an anime AND a live action movie coming this year! I plan on watching these two and I will continue to read the manga as more volumes gets released in my country.

I just read volume 1 and 2 of Yano-kun no Futsuu no Hibi and it’s really good! It's like a breath of freshness in all the romance manga I've read in the last three weeks. I’ll probably have to redo my top 10 romance manga to find a place for this one, it’s just SO good.

If you are enjoying the anime/manga “The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague” (if you haven’t heard of it, go read it now it’s really worth it!) I would recommend you to read “Ms. Seal Who Does Not Want to be Killed Anymore”.

Maybe the title is a bit too long and sounds silly, but it’s really good. It’s a short, easy to read office romance. The art is pretty and the characters are adorable. It’s a little episodic, but it still follow a narrative.

This manga taught me that octopuses have nine brains, seals can eat octopuses and orcas can prey on seals. I had no idea. So I can confidently state that this manga is educational (in a way).

Anyway, if you’re looking for something short and cute to read, give it a try!

Good-bye Dystopia, a really good and short manga about two girls traveling together and getting to know each other. I really liked reading their aventure and hearing about their philosophy in life. What I could criticize is the lack of informations we have about the characters and their backstory even during the final volume. Still a really good manga.

Amazing art too, you should definitely check it out just for the ruins and pretty sceneries.
