Remarks: it'an abosulte must read manga! i've reread it like 3 times already so those who have not picked it up, please do!!

Plot: Having no experience in romance, the vibrant Ninako curiously explores the meaning of what "love" really is, and is surprised to feel a colorful range of emotions as she grows closer to the school heartthrob, the quiet yet gentle Ren, who also happens to be involved in a longtime relationship. With every intention of keeping her head held high, Ninako prepares to face the mental pain of this one-sided love that she had allowed to take root, facing a series of trials that would either contribute to her growth as a headstrong woman, or break her as it did with other girls.

Remarks: this is one of those mangas where the girls did not irritate me! a beautiful story of unrequited love and don't worry, it's a happy ending. the art is also absolutely beautiful too! great storyline, great character and great art. what more can you ask for?

Plot: Tohru Honda has been living in a tent since her mother dies in a car accident, but ends up living instead with Yuki Sohma, her school's "prince", along with his relatives Shigure and Kyo. But Tohru soon discovers that the Sohma clan has a secret of it's own: certain members of the family are possessed by the animals of the Zodiac, so whenever they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex they turn into that animal! Tohru promises to keep their secret and vows to somehow break the curse, and she may just end up healing the Sohma clan members in other ways as well...

Remarks: A very nice work which i never fail to reread at least once every year... (only twice so far excluding this year) it has very good character development and we can see how the characters change. their emotions are also well shown and leaves your heart aching at every sad background story. i cried several times. but overall it gives a fluffy and soft feeling, except for the climax and is a very good read. it has an anime too, but the manga goes further.

Remarks: this is one of the tragdy mangas that i liked. though the storyline can be confusing. the story is overalll.... just one word to describe it - painful. anyway, it's good if you give it a try, afterall it did make an impact on me and i'm sure it'll make an impact on you too!

Plot: Akuma to Love Song revolves around an unusual girl, Kawai Maria who was expelled from her previous school, St.Katria Girls' School, and soon transfers to Touzuka High School, a public school with low standards. Her sharp tongue and straightforward personality often leads everyone else to hate her with the exception of two handsome boys who eventually get involved with her. With a devil's aura like hers and an arrogant facade to pair it up with, it's just too hard to be understood. And so Maria needs to deal with bullying, adjusting, fitting in and romance. Just how will a devil like her cope with all these predicaments?

Remarks: this is yet another nice shoujou where the main character is strong but fragile at the same time. it has a psychological side to it and revolves around high school. it kinda made me fear japan high school female bullies. overall a very nice manga as we see the main character grow and try too change herself. it's hilarious too!

Plot: Soah is a girl from a small village. The Water God is upset and so a long drought has been devastating the village people. In order to appease the god, they marry Soah off to him by sacrificing her to the Water God in exchange for rain. The Water God rescues her to his Water Kingdom, where her new life begins. For Soah, this is a story of her faith ... her life ... her love...
