【MANGA】Risa's Current Picks



Bet you were all wondering about this, and the suspense of never telling you...was killing you...but oh, wait I have told you!
 
You probably don't know, but I answered that question on my F.A.Q. on my blog, but the more updated version is found on my tumblr F.A.Q. located here.
 
Alright, so I have compiled a list of mangas that I have read within the past 2-3 months that I have greatly enjoyed reading! Of course I have ALL TIME favorites that are quite old, and I MIGHT post them here, but this list in NO PARTICULAR ORDER and, again, will be likely to have more added!

 

(click the title to be re-directed to site so you can read it!)

1. Love Stage!!

 

SUMMARY: With a father who’s a singer, a mother who’s a movie star, and an older brother Shougo who’s the lead vocalist for the super-popular band ‘The Crusherz’, Sena Izumi–an otaku college student–is the only dull one born into this super famous and talented family. He loves “Magical Girl LalaLulu” and is working hard to become a mangaka, but one day he winds up appearing in a TV commercial he just can’t turn down. There, he’s reunited with Ichijou Ryouma, the super-popular young actor he costarred with on a project ten years prior.
GENRE: Comedy, Yaoi, Romance
WHY I LIKE it: *fangirl scream*Okay, so where do I start?!? Gahh!! So the reason I love tis so much is because it's unlike any yaoi manga I've read. The plot is super creative, the characters act so adoable in this manga, and by far the art is what really makes the manga worth reading! It gives you a really good laugh, and the "steamy scenes" (if you know what I mean *wink wink*) are also nicely done.


 
 
 

SUMMARY: High school student Subaru wouldn’t reject a sexual favour, but dating is out of the question when he’s not in love. Stumbling upon a beautiful painting in school, he knows he’s found his first love – the artist behind the work. But winning the heart of his love interest isn’t going to be easy, particularly with his promiscuous lifestyle…
GENRE:  Comedy, School Life, Smut, Romance, Yaoi
WHY I LIKE it: First off, if you haven't read anything by Junko before you HAVE to get your butt over to mangafox, mangago...I DON'T CARE!! JUST READ HER WORKS!! Junko is such an amazing mangaka, and I say this because her art is absolutely amazing, and all of her characters potrayed have interesting personalities! Risa lovs all the ukes because they are bashful, and shy, but aren't "girly"to the point were you have to convince yourself that person is a boy. We've all been through that, haha but this manga pulled at my heart strings and is so cute!
 
 
 
 



SUMMARY: Nakamichi works in the 24-hour convenience store on Sano's way home from school. Nakamichi is baffled by the amount of lollipops Sano buys every day! But he gets very used to seeing Sano around, that when suddenly Sano stops showing his face at the store, he misses him! What happens to Sano? And why buy so many lollipops?
GENRE:  Romance, Yaoi
WHY I LIKE it: LOLL, okay so this one's a fairly old one since it was released in '09, but I recently found out about this amazing manga...and boy am I so happy! The reason I'm laughing is because this manga right here is literally the cutest and sweetest manga out there, haha. NOT to mention freaking hot. First it made Risa's heart melt from the amount of cuteness (very high level)...but then Risa's face turned completely red at the H-scenes xD Not to SPOIL anything, but they end up doing some "interesting" things with the lollipop ;DDD. /nosebleed There are two stories in this manga (24 Jikan Eikyou-chuu & 24 Jikan Renai-chuu) I like the first couple better, but this is definitely a good read! Go check it out if you haven't already!

 
4. Sensei wa Dummy  
 
SUMMARY: After Yunogi-san's grandmother passed away, he sold the farm and his possessions and went to Tokyo. But the 34 year old Yunogi-san soon discovers that his lack of experience will not get him a job. He was thrilled to get a call one day about a position. After being forced into the position, he learns he is to become the publicly viewed substitute for horror writer Kirino Shuusuke.
GENRE:  Comedy, Yaoi, Doujinshi
WHY I LIKE it: Again, I really love yaoi mangas with non-typical "school boy meets school boy" plot or "working man meets working man"...I like twists and turns and other sorts of fun stuff! This manga is in a work-setting, but the twist is that that this writer happens to be a HORROR writer and GAY is so freaking genius xDD If you've read NEKOTA Yonezou-sensei's works you know that the art is amazing and storylines are so unique and funny.She makes everything more interesting! Unfortunately, like many of the series I've posted here, it's unfinished. Not sure if there's more...but this is a good read!
