L♥DK (review by nekochan)

nekoRATING : 3/5

If you're fond of complicated relationships and is patient, then you can handle this kind of manga. There are lots of teasing parts that can make you excited and/or annoyed. If you're a Love martyr, you can definitely relate to a certain character here.←I think I exaggerated this part.:P Someone can be more martyr than him/her.

Aoharaido (review by nekochan)

Japanese: アオハライド
English: Youth Ride
If you liked Kimi ni Todoke's slow development and Love Com's comedy and main character's lively personality, and you don't prefer heavy drama...you'll like this. It's cute. The scenes are not extreme. The dialogues are not over the top; it's pretty normal, unlike the other mangas with dialogues that are awkward to read. The twist at the start of the story's interesting.

Desire Climax (review by nekochan)

Japanese: 欲情©MAX

I recommend this to 

smut+romance+drama(most esp. violence) story seekers. This manga is not recommended for sensitive readers. Sexual harassment is present. There were lots of scenes that I crossed my eyebrows. They sex every time. *sigh* However, the way Ukyou Ayane-san turned the tables was really good. You can't expect what happens next.

Ichigo Jikan (review by nekochan)

Japanese: 苺時間

This is a short story and one of those attraction-at-first-sight mangas. It is a cute story but, the fast pace is awkward. If you can't handle cheesy lines and awkward scenes, take caution; this manga got loads of it. @.@

Have you experienced or currently experiencing loving someone who's already in a relationship? *ouch!* If yes, you might like this manga. Also, for those who haven't experienced it, you might learn something from this. :P The main protagonist is a man-hater. XD It's funny why she's disgusted of them. XD

Kiss Dake ja Kaesanai (review by nekochan)

Japanese:  キスだけじゃかえさない。

I recommend this to Jpop fangirls as they can relate to the "idol" concept of the manga. This has sweet moments, but more than that, sex. @.@ The male lead's such a pervert making the female lead asks for more. @.@ I can say that they're addicted on it.

Japanese:  ひよ恋

If you're ok with a SHY female lead, then you might like this manga. If you liked Kimi ni Todoke's slow progress, you might like this as well. Hiyori is the shiest and most cry baby female lead I've ever encountered! @.@

Sukitte Ii na yo (review by nekochan)

Japanese: 好きっていいなよ。
English: Say "I love you".

I recommend this manga to readers who don't like too much drama that can make you emotionally affected. The story's not something extraordinary, but still, their love story's cute. The female lead's an introvert and the male lead's friendly.

Chocolate Cosmos (review by nekochan)

I recommend this manga to readers who are looking for an unusual love interest, or for those who want to try something different. For those of you who once liked a teacher, or currently in love with one, maybe you can relate with this story. But, don't expect too much romance. Cute manga ♥ You should try reading it!

Rhapsody in Heaven (review by nekochan)

Japanese: 狂想ヘヴン

I recommend this to serious-romance-and-also-OK-with-smut readers. They're ALL PERVERTS! But, anyway... THIS IS A CUTE and SWEET manga ♥. Except for the rape and punishment part, that made my eyebrows raised and crossed, I loved the LOVE STORY in it regardless of how they did the 'it'.

Bokutachi Wa Shitte Shimatta (review by nekochan)

If you're a SHY and INNOCENT girl, I think this will match your taste, because it feels like hearing a puppy love story. There were cute/sweet scenes but that did not gave me big impact.

Stardust Wink (review by nekochan)

Japanese:スターダスト・ウインク

INTRIGUING MANGA!!! To whom she'll end up with...I STILL CAN'T PREDICT! To tell you the truth, I stopped after chapter 17(that was more than 1 or 2 weeks ago), because I thought it was boring. I thought that way because I craved for more romance. But, just now I realized, that the other reason was because I can't handle the dilemma. What's up with thinking CHILDHOOD FRIENDS CAN'T BE LOVERS?! lol! XD I continued reading today, and found it REALLY INTRIGUING. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This manga is not just about romance, but...

FRIENDSHIP vs. INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP

Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai (review by nekochan)

Don't be deceived by the cover~ XD

Japanese: 僕から君が消えない
I recommend this to those of you who are looking for a non-typical male lead. Simply because he is not like the usual serious-looking, cool guy. *more about it below* This is not only Kanzaki Hotaru(female lead)'s quest for love but also Haruna Kousuke's(male lead).

Switch Girl (review by nekochan)

Japanese: スイッチガール！！

I recommend this to readers who prefer comedy over romance or for readers who are fond of hilarious stuffs. There's romance in this manga BUT it's not as serious as the 1-17 mangas(refer to the sidebar). The female lead here is really lame. It's funny but I don't prefer this kind of story. Read the rest of this post for more of my explanation. But, above all...this manga has a unique concept. Aida Nastumi-san's courage for making a female lead as ugly as this is remarkable!

Honey x Honey Drops (review by nekochan)

Japanese: 蜜×蜜ドロップス
I recommend this to those who likes smut but looking for ROMANCE. Because there are lots of kissing, touching, teasing, hickey, rubbing and 'uuh-aah', 'nooo', 'st-stop' lines. XD But I DON'T RECOMMEND this to those who are sensitive because SEXUAL HARASSMENT is everywhere. To the point that you'll think it's too much. It's RAPE!!! It's really a RAPE. It's disgusting. BUT, I don't know; I find the story cute. :P BUT not the rape scenes!!!!!!!!!!!! >_<
