Looking for manga recs

[(Anonymous)]

I like offbeat, cute, and/or well-drawn stuff in particular, but I'm open to anything.

yuri's good too

Re: Looking for manga recs

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Have you ever read Mononoke Girls Academy? It's cute and silly (and gets a bit explicit if you like your yuri smutty) and it's all about a school for Japanese ghosts and monsters.

Re: Looking for manga recs

Here you go.


Cute Manga:


Love So Life: Shiharu is a high school student who loves kids, lives in an orphanage, and works at a daycare... Until the handsome uncle of two-year-old twins offers her a raise if she'll be their babysitter. Often relying on memories of her mother's actions for guidance, Shiharu quickly finds herself falling in love with her new makeshift family.

Kuro: This manga is about the black cat "Kuro" and the lone girl "Coco" living together in a large mansion. Cute, fun and somehow eerie... Check out this full-color manga full of mysteries!

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/KURO

Yuri Manga I like:

Hana To Hina: The "after school love comedy" story follows Hana, a small, quiet girl who attends a discipline training all-girls school because she was attracted to the cute uniform. She secretly works at a fancy shop as a part-timer, and one day Hina, the school's super-slender beauty, joins as a new employee.

Renai Joshi File: A three-part story featuring a loving adult couple who find a high school girl devastated by her senpai's apparent rejection of her feelings. The two women encourage her, and happily watch as a romance very reminiscent of their own teenage years begins to develop.

I haven't reread this since high school, so I don't know how this holds up, but I remember it as being incredibly cute and I was very satisfied with the ending (and normally I'm not about love triangles at allll)

Penguin Brothers

It's also pretty short, which is a plus imo.

Re: Looking for manga recs

[dahli]

Yuri Hime Wildrose is a yuri anthology that has some cute stories.

Maze of Flowers is a kinda yuri one-shot, but has nice art.

Waratte! Sotomura-san is 4koma about a girl who people think is a delinquent but she has a sweet personality. Not exactly yuri but you can read the friendship between the girls that way.

Looking for cute/funny yaoi manga

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone? The only one I've read is Honto Yajuu which I really loved, but I have no idea where to look for more.

The only trope I can think of that I am especially looking for is Right Hand Hottie, but I have no idea how realistic it is to hope for a non-creepy story about a guy/assistant couple. I'm really open to anything as long as it's not creepy or too serious though.

Re: Looking for cute/funny yaoi manga

[(Anonymous)]

Have you tried other manga by the same author? Honto Yajuu is one of my faves and I love the author's other stuff. There's a ton on KissManga: http://kissmanga.com/AuthorArtist/Yamamoto-Kotetsuko

Re: Looking for cute/funny yaoi manga

[vethica]

Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi (published in English as Bond of Dreams, Bond of Love) has great characters and a story that is well worth the four volumes it takes. The couple has a not insignificant age difference (one's 17, other's mid-20s), so if that bothers you stay away, but otherwise, I definitely recommend it.

Kankei wa Mada LV.1 (published in English as The First Stage of Love) is another one of my favorites. The style is a little yaoi-handsy, but if you can get past that, it's an anthology of super cute and fluffy short stories. One of them even has a chubby kid as the main character - how often do you see that in any manga, let alone BL? I love it.

Nise x Koi Boyfriend is really perfect in a lot of ways. Guy is scared of a punk dude in school, guy is in love with a cute girl he meets one day, guy is hilariously oblivious to the fact that Cute Girl is actually Punk Dude crossdressing (meanwhile, Punk Dude has no clue he doesn't know they're the same person). Lots of funny and adorable misunderstandings happen and it all gets worked out in the end.

The Miscreant Next Door: another mistaken identity one. Awkward glasses guy moves in next door to big scary bara, stuff progresses, they have a lot of cute blushy sex, the big guy bottoms which is nice, look it's really hot I don't know what to tell you.

Summer Switch is a short but cute one: a young man returns home from college in the big city for the summer, and things get awkward around his best friend. The main character's kind of a big, soft-spoken guy, his friend's a loudmouth delinquent, and their dynamic is a great one.

Sorenari ni Shinken Nandesu is one I haven't read in a while, but I remember liking it a lot. It's about a single father with an adorable kid, okay, you really can't go wrong there.

Uchi no Darling Gaikokujin is a funny one. Have you ever told a friend that a phrase in another language means "hello" or something innocuous like that, when it really means "I love you" or "marry me"? What happens if they try it out and the person they're talking to actually accepts the proposal? A lot of cute, is what.

Absolutely anything by Junko is also worth checking out; her art style is adorable and her stories are majorly awww-inducing. Konbini-kun is one of my favorites, but I don't think I've read one of hers that I haven't liked.

OKAY THIS IS GETTING REALLY LONG so I will stop here. If you're looking for more recs, Consensual Yaoi Collective is, well, exactly what it says on the tin. I'm not going to say that everything they rec is good, but the fact that it's consensual already puts it a step above most yaoi out there. They've got a lot of stuff on there, so take a look maybe!

bittersweet friendships

[dreemyweird]

I'm just going to be dull and predictable because I need something satisfying and tropey.

Any media where two characters have an epic bittersweet friendship - not without difficulties, but ultimately healing and healthy for both of them. The more they cling onto each other, the better. Bonus points if the relationship is quasi-familial. H/c is VERY welcome.

Examples of tropey stuff I already like: Murder Rooms, Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog, Sherlock Holmes in almost any incarnation, Hot Fuzz, Holy Flying Circus, The King's Speech, Stevenson's Kidnapped.

Maybe White Collar?

[(Anonymous)]

Also, Hawaii Five-0, possibly The Professionals, Leverage (in many different permutations), and Due South.

Re: bittersweet friendships

[(Anonymous)]

You kind of need to watch the original series of Starsky and Hutch. It's basically exactly what you want.

Re: bittersweet friendships

[(Anonymous)]

If you don't mind books, DK Broster's The Flight of the Heron. Warning for a heart-wrenching ending but the story itself is very satisfying.1745 Scotland, h/c in spades.

She also wrote "The Wounded Name" (Napoleonic France) and "Mr Rowl" (Napoleonic prisoner in England). Both deliver on the h/c, and WN is very good on clinginess.

Music for allnighters

[(Anonymous)]

My procrastionation has caught up with me and I have an essay due in 10 hours and I have barely started. Rec me some music that'll help me stay awake and focused! :)

Re: Music for allnighters

[dreemyweird]

Call of Duty OST. Seriously, the thing is awesome. It's a sort of low-key energetic music that manages to keep you awake without blasting your brain and ears off or depressing you to hell and back.

If you're into classics, Beethoven's 7th and Eroica.

Re: Music for allnighters

[ketita]

Mad Max Fury Road soundtrack.

Also videogame battle music. That stuff is supposed you keep you tense and fighting. I'm a JRPG type, so I'd say maybe the music from Bravely Default, or one of the Final Fantasys. Touhou also has great stuff, but a bit of a different style.

Re: Music for allnighters

[ioanite.livejournal.com]

I don't know if songs with lyrics will help or just distract you, but if you need a quick jolt of energy, blast this as loud as you can (use headphones if necessary);

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTDwIN9oLvY

And as a bonus, you can use the chorus as your mantra to finish the paper.

(A similar song that might work is Three Days Grace's "Riot" or Skillet's "Monster".)

Ugly Christmas Sweaters

[(Anonymous)]

Where can I buy some (preferably show/movie themed) Christmas sweaters. I want one. Also, actual sweaters not shirts/hoodies printed to look like one.

Re: Ugly Christmas Sweaters

[(Anonymous)]
