A Charming Shoujo SeriesA charming shoujo series about pets and veterinarians! Each chapter is a standalone story focused on a different kind of pet and their owner’s struggles, with an important life lesson. Some stories are heartwarming, while others are heartbreaking. You can sample a volume without feeling the need to collect them all!

My Favorite in This GenreMy favorite in this genre. I relish the female lead's sass and her determination to live her own life. I must say, though, that while I initially groaned at seeing yet another antagonistic and abusive sister relationship, it seems like the author is building up to do something thematically interesting with it.

A MangaPlaza Flagship TitleIf there's only one thing you could read on MangaPlaza, you can't go wrong with this! Not only is it a heartwarming story of a plus-sized woman filled with newfound confidence, there's also an element of mystery, who caused her accident? And don't forget the romance!

Not a Slow BurnFor those more interested in the dynamics of an established relationship (they get together in Volume 3), this is the manga for you. For my slow-burn loving heart, however, I'm not compelled by these two since I don't know enough about these characters to care about them. That's what I felt reading the free three volumes, anyway. That said, toward the end of the third volume, we're starting to learn more about the female lead outside of her interest in the male lead, so maybe we'll learn about them in the context of their relationship.

A Beautiful MangaA beautiful manga about moving on from trauma and striving to reach one's forgotten dream as an adult. Whom the female lead will end up with isn't readily apparent, so maybe her destiny is just happiness. . . .

Sassy Female Lead, Let's Go!Honestly, the sassy female lead should be enough of a reason to read this! I also appreciate that despite being an R-18 work, it doesn't jump into the adult content right away.

NTR + Time Loop + Mystery + SuspenseThe coolest take on the NTR genre I've seen, mixed in with a time loop and plenty of mystery and suspense!

Might consider checking out the light novel, too.

A Relaxing Episodic SeriesA relaxing episodic series about an "evil" alien, with a mission to destroy the world, as he discovers the simple pleasures of Earth--more like Japan, LOL--on his days off. Though considering the good things he ends up doing on those days off, one has to wonder if he'll ever accomplish his mission. . . .

TW: themes of assisted suicideThe most high-concept MangaPlaza exclusive I've encountered. I'd love to read more to see where this goes.

A Fun and Raunchy College ComedyBasically what my review title says. If you can tolerate the running gag of the male characters being naked for 90% of the time (their bits are censored, though), as well as other forms of fanservice, then there's a lot of fun to be had, and the series does have its heartfelt moments. While not particularly deep, the characters are entertaining, and the vibe of the series is similar to a high-school comedy, but with significantly more nudity and drinking.
For those expecting a diving manga (like me), however, that element is there and is taken seriously when the author gets around to it, but it doesn't seem to be the priority from what I've read so far.

Thoughtful and NuancedThe most thoughtful and nuanced exploration of deafness and disability I've ever read. Add to that the angst of discovering one's identity, and you've got a compelling story. This is actually my first GL, and I'm happy that this was my first foray into the genre. Whether you're dipping your toes or a hardcore fan, you can't go wrong with this one!

A Feminist Body-Swap Family DramaThis review contains spoilers. What instigates the body swap may be silly, but the consequences aren't. The husband is forced to take on the housework (although it takes a while to get around to it), as well as his wife's job. The wife, while taking the opportunity to teach her husband about her struggles as a working mother, also has to take on his job. As if that's bad enough, their two-year-old daughter still can't talk and is developmentally behind the other kids!

A Refreshing Take on the GenreA refreshing take on the genre! The "villainess' isn't reincarnated into another world nor is she trying to survive (as her life isn't in danger at all), she's merely ordered to play a role in an outlandish attempt to get the hero and heroine together. Being mean doesn't come naturally to her, however. . . .

Not a RomanceDespite the conceit being conducive to a supernatural domestic romance, it's not. The relationship between the two main characters is more akin to a small child and their caretaker, or a pet and its owner. That said, it's cute and fun, and I enjoyed reading it.

A Former Delinquent Turns into a ModelThe female lead may not be the most knowledgeable about the modeling industry, but seeing her use her street smarts as she navigates it is a fun concept. That said, as much as I've enjoyed this, I gotta admit some part of me kinda wants a manga about her adventures as a leader of a delinquent gang, instead.

More to It Than Meets the EyeThe title, cover, and synopsis don't do a very-good job of selling the series at all, which is a shame, because there's more to it than what it seems. The world is fascinating, even with its own version of racism and how it affects the female lead and others like her. Please check it out; you won't regret it.

An Inspiring Ice-Skating MangaHas an endearing mentor-mentee relationship at its core: a former professional ice skater struggling to make ends meet after his retirement and a gritty and adorable eleven year old entering the world of ice skating late in life. What really stood out to me, however, is the emphasis of children's agency, not just by the child characters but also by the adults themselves. However, the series itself never resorts to negligent or absent authority figures, unlike many stories featuring child or teen protagonists.

Not Your Usual Soccer MangaNot your usual soccer manga with the emphasis on teamwork and friendship. Instead, it's all about the ego. Interested to see how far the series will take the concept.

As for the subject matter of wine, there’s a lot of research and affection for it in this series. There are many moments that make me wish I had the finances to engage in this hobby.
Highly recommended, wine aficionado or not!
