”There Are Things I Can't Tell You” by Edako Mofumofu



”There Are Things I Can't Tell You” by Edako Mofumofu is a sweet coming of age story about unrequited love.

Kyousuke is bright and popular, while Kasumi is a clumsy outsider, but the two very different boys become fast best friends in elementary school after Kyousuke sees Kasumi hanging a note with a wish onto the Wish Tree in the school library with the words ”I hope to marry someone I love and live happily ever after”.

The theme in the story is ”What is happiness?”. The story is told from both Kasumi and Kyosuke's point of view - from elementary school boys to now 27 years old men that are trying to figure out what love and happiness is. I really liked that. It made me feel connected to the two men that come from different homes and have different demons that are following each of them into their adulthood.

I hope there will be a book two because this was a great beginning.

”Lovely Muco!, Vol 1” by Takayuki Mizushina

”Lovely Muco!, Vol 1” by Takayuki Mizushina is a read full of giggles. Any pet lover will enjoy getting an insight into Muco's thoughts about her life with her much-beloved owner, Mr. Komatsu. Her thoughts are very much dog, and in the beginning, it's difficult to understand what Muco's obsessions with her shiny nose and chewing her blanket are all about, but as the pages turn, you get a pretty clear idea of how much this dog just want to help Mr. Komatsu and how much she loves him. Perhaps you might even get inspiration on how to understand your pet? I love the stories about their daily life in the glass art studio in the mountains. Muco brings lots of joy and entertainment every day. I love especially when Mr. Komatsu misunderstands her needs. This is a cute, relaxing, and full of-giggles read. Just what I needed.

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta is a hilarious romantic comedy about Erika (The wolf girl) who cried too many times that she has a boyfriend – when she actually doesn't. Her friends think she's a liar, and scared of being left out in the cold, Erika takes a picture of a random hot guy in the street. If only she had known that they know him already because he goes to her school! The disaster feeling is strong when Erika is almost caught in her lies, but Sata, the guy, listens to her pleas about him becoming her fake boyfriend. He's a nice guy and agrees - all she has to do is be at his beck and call. His own personal slave dog. Turns out he's a wolf in sheep's clothing! Now, now, before anyone goes complaining that this guy is evil and mistreating her, just remember that Erika could stop this farce at any time by telling the truth to her friends. She doesn't and I think for sure there's going to be an important lesson to be learned he...
