Covers for My Love Story, Asadora, and Komi can't communicate. on a lime green backgroundALT

My Love Story

Written by Kazune Kawahara and illustrated by Aruko

This is the most wholesome series I’ve ever read. The characters are all outstanding, lovable and kind. If everyone was as kindhearted as Takeo, Suna and Yamato the world would be a much better place! HIGHLY recommend!

P.S. - There is a great ending to the series that may or may not make you cry your eyes out. This series has 13 volumes and there is also an anime based on the series.

Asadora

Written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa

Asadora! follows Asa Asada who is a spunky and strong-willed young girl. This story is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait to read more! I would recommend this series for fans of Hayao Miyazaki’s works. This series has 2 volumes published so far and is still ongoing.

Komi Can’t Communicate

Written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda

I love this quirky manga! Komi has a communication disorder which makes her incredibly shy and nervous around her classmates. Her classmates take her quietness as cool reserve and they all admire her and want to be her friend. She also wants to make friends with them, but is too shy to say so. Thankfully she befriends Tadaono who helps her make friends in her new school, despite her communication problems.

This series is a lot of fun and always makes me laugh! This series has 14 volumes published so far and is still ongoing.
