Manga like

it’s your average shojo manga, but i like how both leads are on the introverted side, and they understand eachother so well even though they are both awkward at times. I would recommend it for those who like highschool shojo and romance manga, plus the spines are very cute on my shelf! I also bought volumes 2-5 bc i really liked it 🙂

Updated August 27, 2024 by David Heath: It’s been nearly a decade since Oyasumi Punpun reached Western audiences, and just over a decade since it ended in Japan. Even after all this time, it’s become one of the most highly-regarded manga online. MyAnimeList ranks it at a 9.00, the highest score any of Asano’s works have received. Though others are catching up, like his action strip Mujina into the Deep.

Punpun‘s dark, depressing story struck a chord with some readers because they could relate to the character’s situation. There are a lot of people out there in similar situations to the bird-headed boy, and they likely feel just as trapped as he does. Some of them even wrote their own manga directly from their perspective, like Kabi Nagata’s work. Best known for making My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, her manga memoirs continued with its sequel, My Solo Exchange Diary.

The Guy is also a tale of a social butterfly finding love with a social outcast, a trope that’s fairly common in romantic tales. Even if fans narrow it down to a gyaru (basically a Japanese valley girl) and an otaku, they’ll find a few manga that follow its trademarks to the letter. Even so, some might have a few unique features, like My Dress-Up Darling.

I only like the fingers of the guy I hate Vol.2 (TL Manga)
