March Manga/hua/hwa Reads

-> Second Life Ranker

plot: A young man receives a relic he had given his younger brother who went missing ages ago for his birthday. He is devastated to learn that his brother had died in another world, cause? Betrayal by those he trusted most. He decides to go to that world to get revenge on all who had wronged his brother.

This one was amazing. The main character although the ruthless, uncaring types, has a soft spot on characters younger than him and it's adorable. He a character who knows who to care for and not to care too much. He understands his main goal even when getting involved with those around. I love his way of doing things and the way he keeps surprising everyone with how sharp he is. It's really well written and I'm so excited to see where it goes. A solid 8 stars.

It also has a novel for those who want to read it.

-> Beauty and the Feast

plot: A young widow living an aimless life in a small apartment meets the son of the landlord who ends up moving next door. The son, who is an athlete in highschool and has the appetite of two beasts is invited the young woman for dinner. Thus, starts a new point of her life where she begins to find her old love for cooking.

This one is absolutely adorable. 8 stars too. The lady is such a beauty God it kills me. And the way she's always so hyped to cook for him to the point she begins to start loving cooking again. The boy is also adorable and we basically get to watch him mature. The romance part of this is quite slow-paced. After all it features a widow getting over her husband's death and a clueless highschooler. It's just mostly very wholesome and I had no alarms blaring at any point in my head.

-> Boy's Abyss

plot: The story that follows a young boy struggling with his painful existence of life. He meets his favorite idol, someone he used to watch to escape reality, behind his town's convenience store. Getting involved with her, he is pulled into a further hole of lies, obsession and betrayal threatening to tear his life apart.

I'll be honest. I started this at the beginning of March and I'm still not even halfway through with it. It's already done way more emotional damage than it should. But art style, and interesting plot-wise it's very...unique. Ngl angst lovers will gobble this shit up. 5 stars bc I'm not good with angst personally.

-> My Love Mix Up

plot: It all starts with Aoki borrowing his crush's eraser only to find out that it has Ida's -the boy sitting in front of him- name written on it! Even worse, Ida saw the eraser in Aoki's hand thinks it's his!?!? Well, for the sake of his crush''s dignity, he might as well play along! A sweet story of miscommunication blossoming into highschool love!!!

This one was absolutely adorable. One thing I particularly love about the miscommunication is that how it was resolved peacefully with no unneeded drama. No sir, this manga is a happy wholesome manga for our two extra special boys! I love how open Aoki is with his feelings while Ida is still trying to figure what feelings even mean. I also love the sideship in this manga featuring Aoki's cr- I mean, ex-crush. 10 stars.

also it now has a live adaptation in netflix!!!!

-> Sonna Me De Mite Kure

plot: A story featuring a perfect, narcissistic, school-prince and his object of affection; a shy, quiet boy with scary eyes and the prettiest of smiles.

also adorable. Both characters were lovable. I wish it wasn't so rushed though. If the manga had been a bit more slow paced I feel like their character development would've been even more *chef's kiss*. Also, a purely personal opinion; but the changing artstyle from comedic to serious didn't really mesh well? Except that's probably just me. All in all the art is super pretty and both characters are adorable in their own ways. 6 stars.

man I really didn't read much this month...

English:

What I remember is your song More vividly than the words we exchanged Wondering where it went, I’m always searching for it

What I remember is your song Your face as you laugh while singing remains clear It suits you I wish I can look at it forever

But what I desire to see the most Is most likely already in my dreams of you For one more time Let me hear it again I want to hear it

I want more The roaring monster’s song Still won’t disappear Calling upon the song from my dreams That tune you always sang- That monster’s song Still won’t disappear I end up humming it every time

What I remember is you being there You were there, carrying your guitar I can’t ever forget That’s why I’ll sing in your stead

But what I desire to see the most Is most likely already in my dreams of you For one more time Let me hear it again I want to hear it

I want more The roaring monster’s song Still won’t disappear Calling upon the song from my dreams That tune you always sang- That monster’s song Still won’t disappear I end up humming it every time

The fading past remains clear to me While the future I want to make reality remains fragile Through the passing days, I head toward the cold-hearted you 

Hey, I want more The roaring monster’s song Still won’t disappear Calling upon the song from my dreams That tune you always sang- That monster’s song Still won’t disappear I end up humming it every time

Hey, On a sleepless night, we reach our hands out Another sleepless night, we reach out once more Still not sleepy, are we? Even though I wanted to stay longer in those days Without learning anything, On a sleepless night, I reach my hand out Another sleepless night, I reach out once more Still not sleepy, am I? On those nights, I sing The monster’s song

The fading past remains clear to me While the future I want to make reality remains fragile Through the passing days, I head toward the cold-hearted you

--- ¹ Chenmen is a Fudanjuku-coined portmanteau of “change” and “men” and used to describe people who aren’t men dressing up in men’s clothing and “changing” into men. Since I’m unfamiliar with the full nuances of the term, I’ve opted to leave the word precisely as is.

² This is literally just “I’ll absolutely protect you!”, but the language used is really, really rough. I therefore altered the line a little to try to convey that.

³ OSAKAN DIALECT, AHHHHHHHHH. I translated this literally (because I suck at Osakan accents), but it’s totally an Osakan accent, jsyk.

Also, the title in Japanese is written チェンメン天国 (“Chenmen Tengoku”) but is read Chenmen Paradise, (tengoku translates to paradise and the combination of katakana + kanji likely looks more elegant / readable than チェンメン パラダイス.
