Actually, I don't have any friends that I can talk to about my hobby. My life is not as sad as it sounds. I do have friends, but I don't have any friends I can discuss books with. My world as Riverbed is very special to me. It's sacred. That's why I was looking forward to meeting you today.

Recent Read Manga Recommendation Round Up - Part 2

More manga I’ve been enjoying recently! Part 1 recommendation list here. Twitter link to this post here.

~Links to my other manga posts~ My personal favs/ones I super enjoyed will have a ✨ on them :)

Got more new titles and shorter reads this time around!

Some of these don't have official (or unofficial) EN translations since I read a lot of JP-only manga and I’d like to make people aware of those titles too! My hope is that bringing awareness to them will help get them licensed :) I guess if any sound interesting, ask publishers to license them! I’ll link any dedicated posts I have for each title.

PLEASE LOOK UP ANY TRIGGER WARNINGS!

HISTORICAL, DRAMA

✨Tenmaku no Jadoogar: A Witch’s Life in Mongol by Tomato Soup

(2 volumes, ongoing)

JP only. The first 5 chapters are up for free in JP here. English summary in this post

A learned Irani slave girl is taken captive by the Mongols in the 13th century and has to use her knowledge to survive. Well-researched historical fiction about Fatima, who was a real person in history. I wrote a long detailed post about it, so check it out!

DRAMA, MYSTERY, ART

✨Untitled Blue by Natsume Yukiko

(2 volumes, ongoing)

JP only - English summary in this post

I fell for Untitled Blue SO HARD, and I need the next volume immediately. A suicidal boy who just wants to make art uses the name of a burnt-out prodigy girl to sell his works in anonymity. The found family vibes and feels are strong in this one... And there are some absolutely SICK pages in this.

DRAMA, PSYCHOLOGICAL, ROMANCE

Haru’s Curse by Konishi Asuka

(2 volumes, complete)

Available in English

A woman falls for her dead sister's man and we follow a story about guilt and grief. This is a well-written short manga that tackles touchy topics in a thoughtful manner.

PSYCHOLOGICAL, DRAMA, SCI-FI

Takopi’s Original Sin by Taizan5

(2 volumes, complete)

English available to read on mangaplus

A short manga that was quite popular in Japan by the same author of the currently publishing Jump series The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins, this title is a good intro into Taizan 5's work. The art is expressive, the page turn is used well, and it takes a look at human psychology through three children with complicated relationships and living situations.

LGBT, SLICE OF LIFE

Kawa yori mo Nagaku Yuruyaka ni by Yoshida Akimi

(2 volumes, complete)

JP only

From Yoshida-sensei of Banana Fish fame, this short manga predates her more well-known work and you can see her explore some of the themes and ideas that you'll often see in Yoshida's works. I didn't relate to the characters (Which is actually nice sometimes! Different perspectives are good!) and it's kind of a weird manga, but it got a few laughs out of me and it was cool seeing Yoshida experiment.

This is how he introduced himself to an American working at the base - WILD

COMEDY, SLICE OF LIFE

✨Let's Go Karaoke! by Wayama Yama

(oneshot)

Available in English

I've been eyeing this title for YEARS and almost bought it so many times. Finally read it and idk why it took me so long. A charming, quirky, silly, wholesome story about a yakuza getting singing lessons from a choir kid. There's a sequel that's currently being published, ファミレス行こ/Famiresu Iko/"Let's Go To a Diner," but it seems to have a slow release schedule and hasn't been released in volume form yet. I don't see it available to read digitally either so I guess we'll just wait for a tankobon release.

COMEDY, SLICE OF LIFE

✨Captivated, by You by Wayama Yama

(oneshot)

Available in English

A wholesome quick read that left me with a smile on my face. The characters in this manga are just sweet kids and it's delightfully mundane. I mean that in the best way. It was just so nice to read.

COMEDY, SLICE OF LIFE

✨Onna no Sono no Hoshi by Wayama Yama

(3 volumes, ongoing)

JP only

More of Wayama Yama's infectious brand of humor and fuzzy feelings that I'm completely in love with at this point. Read what I said for the last two titles - same good stuff.

DRAMA, SCI-FI, MYSTERY

✨Gene Bride by Takano Hitomi

(2 volumes, ongoing)

JP only - English summary in this post

Sci-fi title that slowly unfolds its mystery and features two incredibly charming characters with a hilarious dynamic and tons of personality.

DRAMA, SLICE OF LIFE

✨Ikoku Nikki by Yamashita Tomoko

(10 volumes, ongoing)

JP only

My current read!

15-year old Asa's parents passed away in a car accident and her aunt, Makio, who works as an author has taken her in. This series is so human and makes me feel too seen and it's too relatable... Gives me the warm and fuzzies but also makes me want to cry. I need Makio in my life tbh.

Just gonna leave this here...

5 SECOND REVIEW

* the amount of times i went like 🙃😬🙄🫠 throughout reading this book is unreal

* i was viscerally reminded of why i don't read romance anymore

* the ✨️toxicity✨️ and ✨️codependency✨️ were On Point 😌

* nothing, and I cannot stress this enough, nothing happened, except for SEX and fighting the same fights over and over again

* like, bestie, please, find a plot 🥴

* it's just... not my jam, despite the fact that I enjoyed the first 3 books in the series, sometimes it's okay to let things go

* also, and i stand by this, the sex is wholly and completely unrealistic, thanks for coming to my TED talk

* 2/5 ⭐️

captivated by you is such like, an unassuming manga, i think the art on cover is already like beautiful but i thought itd be more of a thriller or drama anthology, but this is the most feel-good lighthearted stuff ive read in a manga without it feeling like the standard way of feel-good? it embraces the eccentricities between ppl so casually and like i love it, the characters in each story(or story set) are curious abt each other in a way that breaks down like the barriers of different social circles and rumors and i think thats rly sweet

There are 481 steps. What? There are 481 steps in total on campus. So what? 481 steps, that's it. Why do you waste your time on unusual things? Isn't it nice to do something meaningless? I don't know how to describe it, but… When I'm doing meaningless things, it shows that I have free time. It's a nice feeling.

Captivated, by You (drama)

"The words you say, are like the fireworks that exploded and then vanished. Or they might have been like tears, that resemble sparks. Even so, you'd throw yourself into the world, in secret, with all your might, in an ambiguous form, in a complicated straight line. Even if it gets struck so easily, this is your..."

Three weeks ago, I watched Captivated, by You for the first time. I went into it, thinking the plot seemed interesting and excited to see Ryusei starring as a lead role in this drama. Watching it kind of felt like a fever dream, while constantly wondering about what would happen next. It was because I had a certain expectation of the story after reading its synopsis, that I found myself left confused several times. While watching the last episode, I thought there had to be another one after this, since there were so many things left unspoken and unsolved. Yet in the end, I realised that it exactly was because certain things were left that way, that it touched me.

Three days ago, I decided to rewatch this drama, since it left me with such a lingering feeling. Now knowing that this story is one to be taken as it is, I could appreciate it even more. The way certain characters unfolded, even if it was just slightly or not nearly finished, is what kept me wondering, thinking. I love how different kinds of people and their stories ended up crossing each other. Both the noticeable and nearly unnoticeable moments, in the end, they were all connected. And that was enough to captivate me. Seeing characters I relate to connect to one another, or just pass by each other in a split second, it felt mobilising, and encouraged me to throw myself into the world, too.

I want to reach someone, and I want to be found.
